[production-notes] Episode 11.10 + 11.11 (Patreon)

Here we are, at the end of season 11, thank you all so much for supporting me this far!

I've got a week off, then writing for season 12 starts, I can't *wait*!

In addition to a busy end-of-season production schedule, I've had a HUGE life change this month: I have handed in my notice at my dayjob!

Between LT, Modem Prometheus, and the No Boilerplate videos, I now believe I can quit and focus on podcast, video, and music production full-time!

I'm incredibly lucky to be able to do this, and the chief reason I can is that my shows are a deliberately lean production, the only external expense is to pay my friends when the voice the Specials. My day-to-day production expenses are nearly zero, other than my time. This is because I have taught myself how to do everything, from audio and video editing to performance and storywriting. (I'm still learning how to write a good story!)

The only thing I still don't know how to do is market and advertise my shows. if anyone knows how to, please tell me! Heading to conventions is my current strategy!

The music in today's episode I am delighted with. I tried to write in the style of the cheerful, hopeful, piano music from Studio Ghibli movies.

It's a stark contrast from The Dark Module, and telegraphs the tonal shift that came when Seth woke up.

I've written season 11 as point you can 'drop-in' to the show as a sort of soft reset. I don't know if I'll be able to tie season 12 into that, but I will try.

I wonder if there'll be a sort of "Machete Order" of recommended listening to Lost Terminal? (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls076016284/) 

The Machete Order for listening to the Star Wars trilogy and prequel is:

• Star Wars (4)
• Empire (5)
• Clones (2)
• Sith (3)
• Jedi (6)

(you'll note that Episode One does not feature, this is deliberate!)

Perhaps the LT Machete Order would be

• 11.1 - 11.9
• 1.1 - 10.10
• 12.1 - onwards?

We'll have to see!
