Felicia Day

So, I’ve been working hard and I guess it’s paying off, yay!  I have FOUR projects coming out this month, three video game and one movie, so I thought I’d make a blog post giving you a heads up and dates and all!

RED:  WEREWOLF HUNTER

Official Release date announced: OCTOBER 30th, Saturday night!  This is gonna be really fun, and if we can beat Sharktopus (with your help!) I would really be gleeful, so please set your DVR!!!  I worked out a lot for this part, so please please tune in!

ROCK OF THE DEAD

Finally got a release date for this project:  October 19th (same as Fallout?!!?)  This game is from an independent studio, and is just really really fun.  You basically kill zombies with a guitar/drum controller.  I actually got to get my hands on it at E3.  When they pitched it to me to do a voice role (the lead girl character!), I was immediately drawn in by the idea that you could use your Rock Band/Guitar Hero controllers for something OTHER than those games!  GENIUS!  Who doesn’t have 4 of those instruments lying around!  The gameplay is cheesy fun, co-op is a blast too, and Neil Patrick Harris and I reunite to do the lead voices together, so actually…what is the DOWNSIDE here?!  The initial release is for Xbox and PS3.

The game has a new trailer on their website, and please pre-order at Amazon or Gamestop, these numbers will help this indie studio!

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS

Well, when one of your favorite game franchises calls up and offers you a part AS A COMPANION, what do you do?  Well, I had a heart attack, and then I calmly said, “Yes, please.”  I am sooo lucky to be voicing the character of “Veronica Santangelo” in the new Fallout game.  I can’t tell you how exciting this is, the fact that I’m a playable companion with HUNDREDS of lines of dialogue is absolutely a dream come true.  So on October 19th (the same day as Rock of the Dead actually) pick up a copy and enjoy killing me off if you want, haha.

Check out their website for tons of dev diaries, etc…and lots of pre-order links here, it’s gonna be worth it.  I would be first in line if I wasn’t IN it already!

RIESE: IPHONE GAME

Riese is an AWESOME Steampunk web series that was briefly released last year, but was pulled to redo it’s distribution.  They’ve just announced over at NewTeeVee that not only is the series re-cut and ready to roll out on Syfy.com later this year, but that I am doing voiceover for their iPhone/iPad game!  It’s a REALLY cool project, not only because a game integrated with a web series is an amazing idea.  They’ve done a great job with it and I can’t wait for it to be released! (No set release date yet, but soon, I will update!
Whew! That’s a lot of stuff this month, but I really appreciate your supporting my work, thank you in advance, and let me know how you enjoy it!

Fast Company ran a bunch of GREAT articles today on web series, also featured in their August print edition! This video and the accompanying article were tons of fun to do (although looking glamorous is definitely the edge of my comfort level ). I loved that dress though! (SO FANCY!)

I’ve been terribly busy and really working on the Guild Season 4 script (we are still working out the contract and don’t have shoot dates or release dates yet, but be patient, it’s all in the works!) but I’ve done a few things I’d like to draw your attention to. Or just compile here so I can get it off my check-list, hehe.

Comic Book Resources has the first 6 pages of The Guild #1 Comic posted. Don’t click if you don’t want spoilers! You can pre-order all three issues many places, including TFAW, and if you have a local store, please call before March 4th because that’s the cutoff date to order copies for stores, and some people might not automatically carry it because it’s new. I appreciate it!

I was interviewed on Attack of the Show today about The Guild Season 3 DVD we’re releasing through CreateSpace, always nice to stop by that set. Talked a little about the comic as well, and Mass Effect 2 (getting in characters pants mostly, hehe).

Also Part 2 of “How to Make a Codex Staff” was posted Monday by master craftsman and artist Greg Aranowitz on his blog. And yes, that screaming is for real. I was terrified of the dremel. One more installment is left!

I have some other things that are upcoming, but I’m pretty locked down in writing mode now, so I’ll touch on those later, including book reviews!

Wanted to link this interview I did at Comics Alliance because I talk a lot about the comic and process of writing it, but also talk a little bit about format and how media might be changing in the next few years. A snippet:

I drive down the street in LA, and the Borders closed down, all the newsstands closed down. With all these tablets coming out, it’s such an interesting time, and over the next year or two years we’re going to see a huge shift in people consuming everything on a screen, and there’s going to be no barrier to how people tell a story.

It seems like there is a huge convergence happening in the way we’re going to get our video, games, and books/magazines/comics.  With Consoles moving into cable (see this NYT article about Xbox), and magazines moving to the new Apple/HP/Asus/Etc Brand tablets, I think that we’re going to see some really interesting melding of all types of entertainment in the next several years.

They are also holding a contest for a signed comic as well, links are at the top of the interview!
