Functioning... kind of... (Blog) (Patreon)

G'day everyone, so so sorry for the severe lack of updates here over the past month. For anyone who may have missed it, there was a Channel Update video that was uploaded last week! Please go check that out if you haven't already.

tl;dr: I was forced to move from my apartment due to an expiring lease, back into my old bedroom at my parents house.

Because I've been so under the pump, this months podcast might have to get back until May unfortunately. So there is still time to drop some last minute questions and topics underneath this post. Then I'll just do a big episode covering EVERYTHING you guys have asked. Thanks for waiting so patiently!

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

How are things going?) Well I moved out 2 weeks ago on the 6th of April, I stayed elsewhere until the 9th simply because I was not in a good headspace at all and the thought of being forced to go back along with all the stress of trying to find a new place. I just wasn't comfortable with it at first. But since I got everything setup and rushed out that major update video, I've actually been doing ok. Mentally, I'm a bit of a rollercoaster but somehow, I've managed to get on with shit and be more productive than I've been in recent months which has made me so happy. Circumstances aren't great and it's going to take some time to adjust, and then even more time when I eventually find a new place to live long term. But the big thing is just that videos ARE UNDERWAY!

Crash on the Run) Initially I'd hoped for the Crash on the Run episode to drop later this week, unfortunately things got a little delayed. The good news is that earlier today, I FILMED THE ENTIRE EPISODE! Now that monumental effort is behind me, it's just a matter of editing the episode this week ready for Early Access by the weekend. Then I'll drop the video on YouTube early next week! Actually had a lot of fun filming which I certainly wasn't expecting.

Every Level Ranked Progress!) The week prior to moving was such a downer, I made it to the halfway point of my script but I completely fell out of interest or energy for it. Good news is that some of my plans to work on the Crash video got spoiled, due to being in a major mood to work on the ELR! Out of nowhere, I just sat down one day and made all of the graphics for level names and video effects etc. so I'm so stoked. This was enough to spark my brain back onto the project again and finally yesterday, I sat down and wrote for 25 levels which was MASSIVE after such a long drought. So I'm hoping to keep that momentum going in little chunks while I edit the Crash video. I'd like to have the thing fully written by this time next week!
Once the script is done, revisions are a much quicker process thankfully. However I am planning to go on a little trip for a week very soon after getting it completed, just cause I need it after all this stress. But I also have to make a cross country trip at the end of May for a wedding which will consume a full week too. So this is my current goal:

• April 23rd: On the Run Review completed
• April 27th: ELR fully revised, ready to film
• Short Holiday
• May Week One: Film the ELR (will only take 2-3 days max)
• Week Two & Three: Edit the gargantuan beast of a video
• Week Four: Away for the wedding

SO that is a lot to work around, but totally achievable! I'm hoping to also get the opportunity one day in amongst all this to mass film a few testing episodes so that I can have some additional content popping up in the meantime, but primary episodes are the priority and get my full attention. We'll just have to see how things play out!

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

Closing Thoughts) I know that's a lot to unpack but hopefully, shit should work out. Content is going to remain dry until this Every Level Ranked is completed so the sooner it's done, the sooner I can start getting underway with whatever comes next. Thank you all for your incredible patience and support recently, means so much to me! Gonna do my best to deliver for all of you and while the number of videos is much lower than I'd like... I'm confident there are some big hitters in there!

Anyway thanks so much for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day, cheers guys!
