August is here! (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons!We've reached August. 2025 is going by so fast, a bit too fast if you ask me. Time for some progress updates!Our first "Christmas with Sonic" production stream went very well! While we're very dangerously low on Patreon, the stream helped a lot! We really need to get more Patreon pledges, but if our streams can be that successful each stream, we buy more time. We have been bleeding more patrons than gaining, but hopefully these streams continue to spread the word. If you're Silver or Bronze, consider upgrading your pledge!Currently I'm still waiting for Mel's rig to be finished, but I'm told it should be any day now! Once she is finished, i can get to animating the "Smiling Friends" short. This short should hopefully be out this month, but I am paying others to get rigs done so I cannot control these things."Christmas with Sonic: Road Trip" is well underway and we had a readthrough with a lot of laughs. This may be one of the funniest yet. We're really happy to return to Christmas with Sonic, but this could very well be the actual last one. Our final stretch goal is annually returning to Christmas with Sonic, but we were only at 100% for a month or so, and I don't know if we'll ever return to that state. We're about to reach 40%, and we're losing more than gaining. We have other Christmas with Sonic stories to tell, and they'd be a lot of fun to make, so I hope we can return once again.We are really hoping to premier "Christmas with Sonic: Road Trip" at Sonic Expo in Dallas this November, so if you're going that would be a treat!We will be streaming on YouTube again on August 9th at 4PM Pacific, so be sure to join! Riana is drawing commissions for donators, so if you ever wanted to see your character or any character in the Christmas with Sonic style, that's the time to do it!Until then, know we're working extremely hard with very little budget. Things aren't looking great, but it can always change. We rely on our community to create these animations, and with how things are going with media, we're a dying breed. We hope that we can continue to bring entertainment for years to come, but the walls are closing in. It's not over yet, but it's going to take a lot to get us back in full swing.Take care! I'll have more updates very soon for Silver and Gold members!
