G'day mates, hope you're all well. Not much to really report on this week so I'll keep this brief!

FINAL CALL for August Podcast Questions and Topics! Sorry it's running late, the next episode of Ty took twice as long to finish than I was expecting. Podcast will be available some time next week!

----------------------------------

It's Not Looking Good) Tony Hawktober is in a really difficult spot right now. Initially, I wanted Ty setup and completed so that I'd have the entire month of August free to work on Hawktober nice and early. Of course, it hasn't panned out that way. We've only got one week left in the month with two Ty episodes STILL not done, along with Hawktober having seen very little attention so far. My current plan once I smash this podcast out, is to spend this final week of August 100% zoned in on Hawktober scripts, so that filming and other production work can begin on that.

Unless I can write another 6.5 scripts AND one more much larger script in the next 1-2 weeks, Parts 5 and 6 of the Ty series review will regrettably have to wait until AFTER Tony Hawktober!

This is a problem obviously, pretty much throws my entire November plans out the window, which fucking sucks. It'll also be really awkward. I was planning a break in Ty content in September so it's written to accommodate that, with a cliff hanger. It'll be really strange leaving it with that, doing Hawktober and then coming back to it. Everyone will have forgotten about it but, I really don't see another way right now. Hawktober has already been pushed back as far as it can be. So like I said, unless Hawktober magically comes together incredibly efficiently... I just don't see it going down any other way. So I'm sorry about that, I'm going to keep trying but the Tony Hawk stuff ABSOLUTELY takes priority! I was planning a Q&A on the channel for September just to break things up, but at this stage, I'll be cancelling that to use that time on Hawktober, or whatever else needs it.

Point being, I'm afraid September is going to be another month running dry on content.

If there is a positive...) I am so proud of next week's Ty 3 review! It has turned out so good and I can't wait for you to all see it. Early Access will be available in the coming days! And even though things just haven't worked out this year, I am still excited to work on Hawktober, despite the intense crunch ahead of me. I'm still going to be putting my all into it so you can be sure of that! :)

---------------------------------- 

Closing Thoughts) I know that's an incredibly grim note this week but you all deserve to know where I'm at with everything. Thanks for your incredible patience! I've got those Tony Hawktober shirts on the way VERY soon, stay tuned for those! Early Access patrons get a 10% discount as a new reward for that tier!

ALSO DON'T FORGET: Drop me some last minute questions for the podcast! Until next week, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers guys!

Do you reckon you will still have time to create the 2 hour episode at the end of the year or will you have to push it till 2020? Also, how are you planning the video workload when it comes to 2020?

Really looking forward to Ty 3, the Ty 2 review was a blast! If I'm not too late for the podcast questions; what are some of your inspirations for your content? Any specific YouTubers? And if you could have any game of your choice remastered (kinda Reignited/ N. Sane style) which game would it be?

Is there any reason you couldn't release the Hawktober videos in November/December? It does defeat the purpose of the title, but you could make a joke about it. I just think it's going to be very strange moving away from the TY content, grinding to Tony Hawk videos (get it? XD), and then jumping back to TY. It seems the TY project is taking longer than expected, not leaving much time to work on the other big project. My main concern is these videos might have that Quantity over Quality feel, due to time constraints, which would be a shame. Still, I'm sure what you will produce is great. :)

With Hawktober, it's the series 20th anniversary of the 31st of August (October 18th for PAL regions) so it really needs to hit that window. But yeah, it will be strange stopping Ty in the middle to go and release a bunch of TH videos and then going back... but it's just one of those things. Hawktober takes priority I'm afraid, given it's an annual event that out performs everything else throughout the year. It could still work yet, but I highly doubt it. So far Hawktober scripts have been simpler, with the focus being more on the games like every other year. So they should hopefully come together efficiently enough that I can commit some time to Ty on the side.
