Whew, lots of comments! Guess it's time to respond to them all.
polkapink: Already sent you a PM on the subject, but thanks again for the art! I'm glad you find Mike refreshing.
WickedRaccoon: Awesome! I'll probably be updating the demo with better sprites and shiznit soon, so stay tuned.
HealyHQ: Hey there! Thanks for continuing to follow this. I realized that I was kind of jumping the gun with making a voice acting thread, considering how incomplete the script was at the time, but maybe I'll try and get a more organized voice-acting audition thing going once I'm farther along.
DreamDragonHatchling: Indeed, the pressure is on! Which is why I've been gnashing my teeth a fair bit over the script recently. I want to make sure the full product's as entertaining as the demo.
Itwasneveradream: Tentative release date is in the general ballpark of "later this year", but it really depends on how fast steps 2 through 5 go. I will say that at least I don't have very many other obligations that aren't this game at the moment, so that should help.
Skyefrost: At last, Mike slides into second-to-last place on the character popularity poll! About time. Yeah, one of the big things I was concerned about was making sure the guys sounded distinct from each other, and making sure Mike's narration stayed snappy. Still struggling a bit sometimes
damn Kurt and his little route too, but I'm getting there.
At any rate... HEY GUYS I'M STILL WORKING ON THIS
Don't believe me? Well fine, have a rare look at various bits of in-progress FA:NG work. See if I care!
Actual notes from the actual script (which is entitled "brosim" in Word):
Mike's shirt changes with the route (!!!):
-Pylons Don't Know 'Bout My Additional Pylons = Kurt route
-Dungeons Don't Know 'Bout My Additional Dragons = Doug route
-Kamina Squirtle = Jeff route

-Bros Before Ros shirt (stick figure walking away with friends, heartbroken other stick figure)= Jeff/Greg club route
-Trollface/u mad = Matt route
-Forever alone guy shirt = Mike route
-Power Rangers masks shirt = True route
Actual excerpts from the actual script:
Cindy “Oh! I love history.”
Cindy “Abigail Adams x John Adams x Thomas Jefferson, OT3.”
"…what?"
Mike "So you're a big Superman fan? And Captain America?"
Ray "Uh... yeah!"
Ray "Never really got into Batman. I’ve always been more for the Good Ol' Boy heroes. "
Mike "Definitely not as many Supes fans."
Ray "I know, right? Real shame."
Mike "Your glass sure is half-full, huh?"
Jeff "My glass is half-polar bear."
Mike "Like a polar bear dog?"
Jeff "Yeah! But with bees instead of dog."
Mike "Then which half's the glass?"
Jeff "THERE IS NO GLASS"
Mike "AW SNAP"
Douglas "Klaatu barada nikto!"
Douglas "I just used my arcane powers to turn all the food into doof, Terri."
Douglas "If you eat it you will explode."
Mike “Face it, Matt. You are the biggest nerd in the club.”
Matthew “Never.”
Mike “Denial’s not just a river in Egypt, you know.”
Matthew "Oh yeah? Well, Egypt's not just a river in- in-"
Matthew "I forget where I was going with that. Shut up."
Greg “‘When I was a child, I spoke like a child. Thought like a child, felt like a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.’”
Greg “You know where that’s from?”
Mike “Sounds vaguely familiar, but no."
“Greg shrugs.”
Greg "Me either. Read it in a webcomic."
Kurt “I see, I see.”
Kurt “So, did you like me on first impression?”
Mike “In retrospect? Yeah."
Kurt “And do you like me now, after all this time?”
Mike “Wouldn't be here otherwise, now would I?"
Kurt “Then that’s enough for me.”
Mike “Pssh, what’s that supposed to mean?”
Mike “It’s almost like you’re-”
Kurt “Getting off at the next stop.”
Kurt “See you tomorrow, Mike!”
Mike “Hey, wait a sec!”
"Sonuva-"

I hope you're happy!
J-jerks.
