Episode 3 will be published March 25th 2011.

Just finished with episode 3... required 1 month and 5 days of production time... there's plenty that could have been fixed and polished, but I'd rather eventually learn to do things right the first time then to go back and burn myself out trying to fix everything :)

Very nice work. Inspirational.

I'm enjoying this. My only critiques are that all of the sounds overlap frequencies (making it hard to hear dialog when there's music or louder background noise - spread the range out a bit, drop the keyboards an octave or two to free up the vocals perhaps) and that some of the dialog is a bit on point (More visuals, less dialog - the first two episodes were stronger than the first even though I couldn't hear 50% of the dialog.

I love the early 90's video game look of the thing personally, I don't feel it detracts from the storytelling at all... watch your dialog, as I would write at the edge of the script; TMD = Too Much Dialog.

Agreed. and many others agreed with the sound issues as well.

I published Developer's Diary #4, which kinda goes over my own critical analysis of all 3 episodes (however incomplete) so far as well as some of the challenges I went through in other aspects like directing. I posted it in the narrative forum, check it out for some inside info! (http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=29889)

I enjoyed it a lot. Everything looks really professional. I'd agree that the dialogue needs more priority in the mix, but it looks like you've already addressed that.

Eh, I wouldn't call it "professional" by a long shot. The Chronicles of Nerm thread is an example of professional level.

Anyways, I hope to have episode 004 done by mid-May 2011. Production time for this episode has been bumped up due to complexities, roadblocks and extra time needed in research/development. With luck, this next installment will really raise the bar in showcasing what I am capable of.

Production required about 6 months of part time work, there are a lot of firsts regarding its creation and I certainly feel that I am far above where I was when I had just finished EP 003, but I realize I still have a lot of improving to do especially in the modeling and texturing department.

For those curious about the series since EP 004's completion, check out this video. It will be removed when the fifth installment is almost finished.
