HUGE Update: April (Patreon)

I am still here. I am still lurking beneath the sea. Waiting to strike.

Let's start with the major one

SPOILERS AHEAD

There's an episode nearing completion. Now when I say "nearing completion" I mean the deadline we're setting for ourselves is May 1st. That doesn't mean we'll necessarily MAKE that deadline, but if will DEFINITELY be done sometime in May.

There are also currently 2 more episodes being worked on and 2 other artists potentially joining the Spoilers Ahead crew. Too early to make promises, but I know those are what people want to see so I'm trying to throw more behind that and see if it pays off for me

SO I'll do a quick recap of what I usually say in my updates.

My current production schedule is

release big project -> go broke from making project -> spend a month streaming like crazy to not die -> stop streaming to work on project -> release project -> etc.

April

In one of my previous updates I said the goal was to stabilize by March. Well March is over, and unfortunately it looks like April is going to be another "stream like crazy and try not to die" month. All I can really promise for this month is an Ex-Stream, but we're gunning to have another "The" out by the end of the month to hold you off until Spoilers Ahead and I'm biting off probably a lot more than I can chew to insure future content is more regular.

Rip Snorting

Unfortunately, this has to go on hold for now. I've accepted it's a passion project, and  I need to put making more consistent content before Rip Snorting.

Podcast

You're probably going to see some Podcast beta tests pop up on LyleSucks in May. Podcast is also on hold for April while I try to scrape some funds together for it.

Other Projects

I'm working on a few things on and off. Doing a short silly cartoon that's probably way off in the horizon and poking at some music stuff in the rare free time I have. You'll probably see a few things in the coming months. Probably not April, but maybe late May.

The Plan

Right now the plan is to throw all my weight behind Spoilers Ahead. I'll be making Ex-Stream, The, and LyleSucks videos to keep myself from death (which by the way, LyleSucks has made me more money than my main channel has this year. Seriously FUCK the current state of YouTube)

I know whining about my financial situation is fucking lame and not at all fun, but the unfortunate reality is that my channel is way too small and YouTube is way too shit for anything that isn't a daily 10+ minute talkfest right now.

I'm doing everything in my power to not resort to being a full time lets player vlogger even though that's probably financially the smartest thing I could do. I've seen so many content creators give up or lose themselves to the youtube system and I feel like I'm one of the few people boneheaded enough to keep fighting it. I'm passionate about creating and I fucking refuse to quit trying.

Huge thanks to all you Patreon supporters. You're literally the only reason I can realistically keep doing what I do.

ALSO I KNOW THIS FUCKING POST BECAME A PRETTY BIG DOWNER BUT HEY REMEMBER HOW I SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF IT THAT 3 SPOILERS AHEADS ARE GETTING WORKED ON YEAH SCROLL UP REMEMBER THAT SHIT? SO ITS OK! 

 

Also I haven't forgotten about the Patreon hangout

I'll probably make a separate post in a few days seeing what days work for ye.

Alright check ya all flopside.
