There are three versions of Heart String Marionette...
Heart String Marionette
Heart String Marionette: The Silent Form
Heart String Marionette: Directors Cut
Only one has been released at this time... the other two will be released later along with extra's etc...
If your primarily printing text documents like scripts and the like... GET A CHEAP LASER PRINTER... I just got this one its so fast and the text is so clean 0_0
I just finished a fairy tale book version of Heart String Marionette that will be released within a week or so...
I'm doing a new book called "Diary of a Heart String Marionette" in which it shares/explores the inner thoughts of Samhaine Tsuke and the Kid... and it shares their back stories etc...
The books cost me nothing to make as I'm doing them through createspace...and I have written material from them as it was in previous much longer versions of the HSM script... I just need to create the images... which is pretty fast and fun...
I'll be writing a new inspirational type book as soon as my editor Stormko sends me the proposed chapters ^_^
The planned release date for the next feature film is Xmas 2013... I have become much faster at animating and every other part of the process so it may sound bonkers right now as HSM took so long but don't forget that a lot of the time while HSM was being made I was waiting to work on it...that time allowed me to do 8 episodes of Badassery, 3 episodes of Darksided and I wrote 2 books... so it could have been done much faster if there was no waiting...
So my goal is to release the next film Xmas 2013... the animation will be better... the storytelling will be better... everything will be better...
High expectations can cause you to be let down... when HSM was released I didn't have any expectations... I know that to make something a success it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of time... the hard work and time I spent making the film doesn't carry over to the release... the work/time meter starts over... there's no freebies unless your married to a celebrity or your dad is a famous movie director or something...
A true creator keeps creating as long as it is possible for them to do so... as of right now its possible for me to make another film so that's what I will do.
I also recently met a game programmer who I'm partnering with... he said his reasoning for contacting me is because he wants to create the "creepiest game ever" and he believes I'm the right guy for the job ^ ^ He'll do all the programming and I'll do all the story/art etc.... so as soon as I finish a few more little things for the HSM release I'll get working on that...
AND since I'm curious about the possibilities I'm starting work on my first narrative novel... outlining it now...
So yeh expect more strange in different mediums coming to you soon ^_^
P.S. Thanks to all the people who have bought HSM!
