So, I know a lot of people don’t #follow me on here, and vice-versa thus far, but #AUDIODRAMA #CREATORS! I am working on my pilot for an audio drama.

Give me one piece of #advice you wish you would have had when you started writing/producing/promoting/etc.

Tag those you think could add to this!

An image of the fundraiser goal bar on Ko-Fi. It reads "Hi Nay Mini Fundraiser" and has a share button. The gray bar, partly green, reads 5% of $4000 goal. 

Below that, text reads: Fundraising for the continued production of Hi Nay Act 3! We never hit our original goal so this is one way we can keep going after our hiatus!

On a blue and black gradient background, it reads: 

In gold text: Hi Nay, literally translated to β€œHi Mom”,

is a supernatural horror audio drama about Filipina immigrant Mari Datuin, whose babaylan family background accidentally gets her involved in stopping dangerous supernatural events in Toronto β€”

alongside two supernatural detectives, her 6’2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor, and a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers.

In white text: Season 1 of Hi Nay follows their mission to stop the Elders, a group of early 1900s rich immortal occultists, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci β€” especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody is able to remember his face or name.

Probably approx. 2-4 hours depending on player familiarity. That’s being on the longer side. If you’d ever like to take a look at it, I have it loaded into tabletop sim!

Technically can go up to 6 players, but a two player game (with 1 Kaiju) will take about two hours for the first game. About an hour the second.

About an hour per player right now for the first game, but that is mainly due to the programming mechanic. Once a player gets that down the time goes down a lot (typically by their third turn)😊 Not a hard mechanic, just a small learning curve.

Thermocaste: Wild North! Mech Hunters track down and claim their Kaiju Bounty, but who will claim it first?

A PvEvP game for gamers that enjoy a good, thinky battler and (possibly) miniatures.

The most unique aspects are the programming mechanic for your moves as well and the enemy AI.
