State of Things! Behind the Scenes (Patreon)

Feedback I've received from you seems to be that you want less video content and more of other various things. So this is me trying something new! An update on everything I'm currently working on in a more organized sort of format. Blog posts like these will probably reveal more detail about what I'm working on compared to anything I'd say publicly. Keep in mind these are current projects that could be dropped or end up being unfinished. But at the current moment I plan to 100% pursue all these things.

Chadtronic - Main Channel

Things are going good with my main channel, it was a little scary earlier this year with the youtube ad boycott and everything which pushed me to come back to patreon. Which I'm glad I did come back, I enjoy interacting with fans on a more personal level and patreon is a great way to do that. Overall things have recovered pretty well from the adpocalypse and I have some fun stuff lined up for the rest of 2017. All videos until January are currently scheduled, some with some new silly ideas. I'm excited for the Christmas themed videos even though I just got done with the Halloween ones. Starting next week you should again see one new video per week on the main channel (This week I took a break, the Halloween videos were rough to get through). In December I'll try to ramp things up and put up 2 videos per week. It'll be a crazy time but I'll enjoy it.

Secondary Channels - Gloop, and Pokemon

Expect to see some new videos for the Pokemon channel in December. Not a lot of videos, but a few. Maybe 4-5? Currently don't have any plans for Gloop at the moment. I still have to re-think that channel. I might change it to cover things like Nickelodeon toys and board games rather than cover the tv shows so much. It seems just making reviews about the shows gets you into copyright trouble on youtube, even though I show zero footage from the shows in my reviews...

Twitch

I just streamed recently but I know I need to stream more. Twitch is something I can only manage to squeeze in when I have free time so there's no way to schedule it or promise a certain amount of it. Ideally if I can fit 1 stream in a week that's pretty good for me. We'll see if I can do that more.

Merch

My goal is to launch my new merch this month, I have a lot more stuff this time. Last time I only had 1 shirt and sweatshirt design, this time I'll be selling ~12 items? I can't promise that exact number. Before the store officially launches I plan to offer a special first class fricks logo shirt that only you guys can buy for a limited time. I wish I could give you the shirts for free for being patrons and everything but I can't, the company who makes them still needs to cover the cost of material etc. I'll try to make the price as low as I possibly can. I'll maybe attach a few pics of upcoming products so you can get a sneak peek at the upcoming merch.

Super Secret Projects

I'm still working hard on the project I teased a bit ago here. I was hoping to have things near finished with it at the end of this year but I don't think that's going to happen. Maybe early 2018? I also don't want to give any clues about what it is yet. Just not yet.

Another not so secret project is that I want to make some short horror film stuff at some point. Kind of like my own Goosebumps style universe of sorts. But maybe a bit darker than Goosebumps, I don't think Goosebumps is that scary to be honest. At first I wanted to do something semi-serious with the tone of it but I'm not sure people could take my presence in a horror setting very serious. It might be a mix of serious-tone horror with a little comedy? I'm personally not really a fan of watching that mix of genres but in my case it might be my only option as far as satisfying that horror film itch of mine that I can't quite seem to scratch.

Personal life, other thoughts

Things are going well as far as real life stuff goes. I might want to move in the future, I'll probably move closer to other youtubers like myself at some point? Maybe. That might be much later in the future, I'm not really sure. I don't have any plans to attend any cons, but maybe in 2018. That's about it.

Hoped you liked hearing about my current projects and a little bit of personal stuff. Let me know what you thought of this and if you'd like more or not. If you didn't really enjoy this it's ok to leave that as feedback, it's really the only way for me to know.

Keep it real first class fricks
