Another Little Update (Patreon)
Content
First off, the Avatar video is with my editor Chris right now, and it will be ready to go as soon as he gets it done. It's about 15 minutes long, as I asked him to try out a new editing style and I wanted to give him time to properly experiment with that, while still being able to get out the first part soon. I'm not 100% what the length of future parts will be like (if there's anything I've learned from making videos on here, it's that things rarely go quite as I envision them going)--but I'm hoping to have them be at least around that 15 minute length and, preferably, a little bit longer. Of course, I'm going to prioritize having a focused and concise video over hitting a certain length, though.
Second, you know that The World Ends With You video I mentioned in the last update? Yeeeeah, it's a hot mess. Unfortunately, I don't feel that I can release it to you in the state it's currently in, and I'm not sure if I'll be releasing it at all. Maybe I'll try to return to the game in the future, but as it stands it just isn't good enough. But I did learn from working on it. I learned that I need to read more books on game design and just on the medium of video games in general. I had a similar difficulty when I tried to analyze manga for the first time in my "How NOT to Adapt a Comic/Manga" video, and I overcame that difficulty by reading some books and articles on comics in order to gain a greater understanding of the medium. So yeah, I hope to return to video games in the future, but it will only be after I put in the work to inform myself about the medium on a deeper level. I apologize if you were really looking forward to that video, but the last thing I'd want to do is totally waste 15 minutes of your time.
I've also recorded another Behind the Scenes audio thing and I have the first part of the Q&A podcast recorded. I'm gradually working on them when I have the free time and they will be out as soon as I'm finished.
Anyway, that's that update for now! My goal is going to be to have four videos out this month, despite the fact that, due to university work, I haven't been able to get them out on a weekly basis like I would have liked. I want to make sure that you feel you've gotten your money's worth by the end of this month.
Thank you, as always, for your support. You're the best :)
