Sure sounds like this has been a real trial for the producer! It'll be nice when it is actually available Yep, I just hope it doesn't put people off buying it (when it's available again) or funding more work (I'm still waiting for Osiris part 2 ) Hmmmm... the Osiris thing bugged me as I was waiting for the story to continue after a very good first part, to then drop it and look for funding on a new product - without completing the first one - seemed a bit unprofessional to me. However, I still decided to pre-order this version of War of the Worlds, and unfortunately it's been delay after delay. But in life these things happen so it's not the end of the world, it's all a learning curve. It would want to be good when it does arrive though!

My sincere apologies about this. In my 11 years in audio drama production, I have never had to completely reinstall Windows due to an update issue! I actually like Windows 10. I think it's the best OS Microsoft have produced. However... Their forced updates policy, and I'm being kind here, is the most stupid thing ever to have been implemented in an OS! Luckily the only thing on my OS drive is Windows 10 and programs.

Project Update 1 Comment 3 likes
Hi All,
Just an update to say everything is back up and running.
I will get the story out to everyone as soon as possible. This may have me working at Christmas after the major setback last week but I'm OK with that as long as you all get it in that week.
Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.
Best,
Martin, Producer

I'm still looking forward to listening to it and I'm looking forward to doing a side by side comparison listen with the BF edition.

I was pretty annoyed about the second Osiris, I preordered when it was on the site, and waited a year till I was told it was not going ahead and got a refund. It was a great shame as the first episode was really good and had great potential. That really put me off ordering this war of the worlds in case of delays. It's a great shame

According to Sherwood Sound's Facebook page, the IT issues are now resolved and the downloads will be available next week (ie, Christmas week)

It's a great shame We will be releasing Osiris episode 2 at some point, perhaps just as a download only for non-backers. We never said it wasn't going ahead as it has already been recorded and edited. I admit to not handling The Coming of the Martians terribly well with regards to release dates. In future, there will not be pre-ordering set up until the production is completed, manufactured and ready to ship. I personally was looking forward to Jekyll & Hyde, for example, so I understand where your thoughts are. Thank you for the kind comments on Osiris: Pilot.

I'm certainly looking forward to The Coming of the Martians... and will happily buy the second part of Osiris when that gets released too. It started off really well, so we're gonna have to find out how it ends!

Christmas Update 0 Comments 6 likes Hi all. I will get the story out to you as soon as possible. I wasn't able to work over Christmas so release will be pushed back a few days, but no more than that as we can't afford to push this release back any further, so this is it! You'll be happy to know that it's all sounding fantastic, although I am biased of course. I didn't want it to sound like a radio play with over the top cartoon'ish effects and instead go for a more realistic soundscape and immersive atmosphere. I believe we have achieved this, our signature sound. Not long now! Best regards, Martin, Producer

Hi all, Just letting everyone know that downloads should be sent out on, or before, the 10th January. It would be sooner but I have a few full days at the day job (starting a new business while still working elsewhere is tough!). Any later than this and we will risk clashing with another production and we don't want to do that. However, the good news is we will be promoting it like crazy for a few months and we have 4 unique selling points over our competition: - High-quality, realistic sounding audio drama.
- Native 5.1 surround sound production.
- Not mastered with compression for higher volume levels, and so maintains the original dynamic range of the master edit.
- Available in 4 formats: USB, DVD, CD and download.
How does everyone feel about us resuming pre-orders for the public this week?
Many thanks, Martin, Producer

I was going back and forth thinking about also ordering the USB for the features, so no complaints from me if you guys do.

I don't see it's anyone's business but yours. It's nice when producers are interested in the views of the customers, but it isn't like anyone will be financially disadvantaged by you doing this.
Looking forward to hearing this (and hopefully Osiris pt.2 in the not too distant future)

Preorders have reopened at www.sherwoodsoundstudios.com. At the time of writing there are only 4 USB collector editions left (out of the 500 limited editions). DVDs and CDs still available. I'd love the USB but had already bought the DVD and unfortunately I can't justify another £50 on top of that. It does look stunning though. Cheers Tony

Am I reading it right that the DVD version is just that, no audio cd included?
I suppose I could make my own audio cd from the files included on the DVD. Or maybe the USB.

Pre-ordered the CD version. The trailer sounds beautiful.

According to the description (http://www.sherwoodsoundstudios.com/product/the-war-of-the-worlds-dvd/), the DVD is in 5.1 surround sound and comes with mp3 and AAC versions. There is no physical audio CD included. The audio CD is just be stereo mix (encoded into Dolby Surround). Cheers Tony

Cheers Tony Hi Tony, The 4 that are left are only the first batch of 1 to 100 numbers. We will be ordering 101 to 200 numbers from manufacturers when released and there will only be 500 made overall. I'll put this on the product page.
