Weekly Status Report: 2025/11/09 to 11/15
Added 2025-11-16 16:22:39 +0000 UTCI closed the gap on the timeline. The first run of the timeline is complete. So now it's onto the finer details.
So... here's the thing about the GameCube gameplay footage: Pandaman (or "Panda Man" as it's spelled in-game) is the only unlockable Recruit Wrestler and requires one to play Story Mode as every single character. Some websites say it just requires beating the game with Skullduggery, but I did that and Pandaman did not unlock. Using an Action Replay code to unlock all characters does not unlock Pandaman. I turned on Action Replay codes to give me infinite health and permanent Level 3 Super Meter in Story Mode, but that STILL takes a long time because Level 3 Supers can at most knock off just under 25% HP and are accompanied by a cutscene every time. It takes too long to bother for 30 seconds of footage, so I am using another creator's footage (with credit, of course) to show off One Piece's Waldo in the GameCube game. That said, I did grab a bit more footage I wanted of the GameCube game. I still need to wrap up GBA footage.
At present, I am going back and adding in assets that I skipped, so things like other FoxBox show openings. I also finally converted the bonus features off my rip of the Ultimate Muscle Blu-ray. I also ripped another Blu-ray disc of a different series for another episode, but you'll have to wait and see what that is... (Next PC build NEEDS more hard drives so I can back up these Blu-ray rips!)
At this point, "good enough" has to be good enough -- I can't afford what I want with my perfectionism. Video still looks good and is all a step up from what I've put out before.
Here's what's left:
Finishing the last of the footage and images on first run
Going back and adding a few things I missed
Adding images and videos I skipped
Finishing animations and text
Balancing narration volume
Adding and balancing music
Capturing more GBA footage
Adding credits
Finishing the next episode preview
Finalising thumbnails and titles for A/B testing
Weekly Bonus:
I only have pink guys, so I had to improvise on how to play with the board game. Can you tell who is the impostor? π€
