I finished what I intend to be the final edit of the printed CSP today.

I'm beginning work on layouts of all the pages, though things may need to be changed here and there.

I've put in print quote requests on a certain page count, which probably isn't accurate but which is close enough to work with here.

The cover art is only awaiting the final spine thickness to be finalized.

A Kickstarter will almost certainly begin before the end of the month.

... the Kerbal Space Program vid requires editing down TEN AND A HALF HOURS of raw footage.

So it's not going to be first.

Still need input about how severely I should edit things down, though.

(1) Which video would you like to see me post to YouTube first?
a) My first ever Minecraft experience
b) Today's first-in-seven-years Wii Fit workout
c) My follies in KSP learning how to salvage rocket parts from a lunar surface

(2) Which style do you prefer- edited-down streams with audio at the time, or sped-up musical montages that show the action without my speech?

EDIT: I suppose I should drop a link to YouTube for the videos I've posted:

I discovered I'd left the appendices out of the working CSP file, so I spent some time on stream today to edit them before adding.

Two things you should know.

The pair of chatty guards, who are never named in the story, are called Guts and Stenocaro.

We're gonna get a Fun Machine
We're gonna get a Fun Machine
We're gonna get a Fun Machine
