LongWei's website is going to be temporarily down while I work on updating it.

Btw, Mikoto Studio's 2026 Voicebank Showcase has begun. You might get a quick peek at something that hasn't been publicly shown yet if you visit his page 👀

Voicebanks are finally all cleaned and uploaded - phew

It shouldn’t be too much longer. It’s in the final stages. Right now I’m mostly just cleaning up vb files, writing some instructional material, crossing my t’s/dotting my i’s, and I still have to make the demo reel video.

The demos themselves and the voicebanks are pretty much all done though.

So… my dog had kind of a health scare last night. We think she’s okay, but we basically spent the whole night getting that checked out.

So… as far as LongWei goes, obviously last night didn’t work either. At this point I’m just gonna say it’ll be released when its done.

My dog has been interrupting my mixing all day by attacking and (play) biting me, so if you need to blame for why it’s late AGAIN, it’s her fault and definitely no one else’s

I’m still planning on doing LongWei’s release today - but if I can’t finish everything, I may need just one extra day

Currently: Speedrunning mixing as many songs as I’m able in a single day

My mom used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. Not so much now, but it often comes on sometimes while she sleeps and I can confirm that everybody does NOT in fact love Raymond bc I want to bash his stupid head in with a mallet ( the character, not the actor, I have no opinions on him )

Genuinely, I think it may be one of the worst mainstream shows ever made. It's boomer humor comphet "I hate my wife" nonsense made manifest.

My mom is likes to have the TV on while she sleeps, and right now "Everybody Loves Raymond" is on, and I HATE that show, but it's loud enough that I hear everything that's happening and DEBRA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE HIM. I NEED THE EPISODE WHERE YOU REALIZE HE'S IRREDEEMABLE AND DIVORCE HIS ASS

Guys I found proof that there is no god

To be clear, nothing in my profile suggests that I have any desire to be talked to that way, and I even explicitly state that I don’t ever send ( or ask for ) nudes.

Fuck you MEAN “my bad”??? That message didn’t type itself man.

I love men, but why are they so STUPID???

Even More Adventures on Grindr:

Guy I’ve never met before, sending me his first message: “Heya sexy, let daddy see ur useless little dick”

Me: “… Dude, wtf is your problem”

Guy: “My bad”

A fourth one???

A fourth one???

I was looking for how to pronounce “focaccia”, since while I can guess how it’s pronounced in Italian, I’ve never heard another English speaker say it

And I came across this question

So, work got really crazy, and I'm not going to be able to make LongWei's April 10th release. I'm now shooting for April 17th.

As compensation, I'm hoping y'all will accept this demo I was going to scrap ( mostly because I wanted some more genre diversity in the demo reel )

For those of y’all that didn’t see the video, I’ll update y’all on what’s happening now that April Fools is over.

- LongWei’s next release, LongWei Symphonia, is coming out on April 10

- A (real & working) Klingon-language Voicebank for LongWei is releasing as an extra vb to celebrate April Fools.

-rolling my eyes at the clear death flags the whole time, I just couldn’t really care that she died at all.

When you make a character whose only role in the story is to die almost immediately after they’re introduced, making that death impactful is an uphill battle.

Compared to, say, cases like Jeralt, who, while it was obvious he was going to die, we actually get to spend some time with him, and the consequences of his death are devastating.

Lumera just didn’t have any time to develop an attachment to or investment in imo, and that paired with me kind of-

For me - part of it was that I saw it coming from a mile away, and, for me at least, the dead parent thing is such a common cliche in FE that I find it a bit obnoxious.

Also that, it was near the beginning of the game, and we barely knew Lumera at all other than her just being a kindly lady.
