I did a more rambling post on my community page for Youtube, but yes, the #PhoenixHawkIIC script is done. It's a 25,000 word script, and it covers tons of the Mech's history- and the history of the Steel Vipers.
I start recording today / tomorrow, depending on how my voice holds up.

I'd really love for you to take a look at this thread.

I don't often plug stuff here, but...
