Meanwhile, it has been fully 3 months since the first MSI came out, and we're still not quite near the desired results. In fact, it would seem we're moving backwards in terms of results. Despite 3 successive revisions, V1 had the most noticeable impacts for me as well.
Perhaps it is time to re-evaluate? Did you use only models and private testing before to quickly determine if a subliminal works? Would that speed up the process? Surely future 5.5G+ subliminals will not have the long gestation we currently have with MSI? And when do you plan on finishing the 2.x series and move on to V3?
DMSI is the test bed for new technologies and it has a goal that is preposterously difficult. It's goal is to advance the 6G skeleton script while allowing me to get feedback while creating something you guys are interested in using and testing, while not killing the business because I spent so much time developing stuff and put nothing out. When I am finished with it, I'm sure it will be a very good seller, too, but for the time being, it's an experimental testbed for achieving unusual goals while helping me generate the 6G skeleton script.
In other words, it's not going to be a typical program in terms of how long it takes to create this.
Normally I would have done this whole process in the background without ever mentioning it, and you would be presented with a known working finished product. There are projects I have been developing like that for literally years in the background that you guys don't know about. But this one I chose to make public beta because I knew it would not take me years to achieve the end result, especially if I had much more massive feedback.
I can create a 5.5G sub in 1 to 8 weeks if I don't get bogged down in experimental crap like DMSI is currently. I've been working on MIR2 slowly because I have to finish something else to finish MIR2, and then of course developing DMSI, answering the forums, and working on the 6G prototype all take time. Lately I'm so tired that I just got to work today and it's not even today anymore, it's 1 minute past midnight. And I'm so tired that I feel like my eyes are going to melt out of my head because of the experiments I have been doing on myself causing subconscious turbulence that's exhausting me in ways I can't seem to get past for the last few days.
DMSI was something I originally thought would be much easier than it turned out to be, but it's not going to take forever. It's also going to be well worth the effort. But not all 5.5G subs are going to take this long to make. They're not intended to be experimental testbeds and aiming at crazy goals. DMSI is helping to make all of them better and stronger, and faster to build, too, as I develop the skeleton script through it.
The 2.x series is finished. I just need to have a little time and energy to get started working on 3.0. The additions to 3.0 are many, though, so it's reasonable to think it may take 4 to 6 weeks to finish.
