Production Update! 6.23.20

Hello patient and passionate patrons!

Again we start the grind towards our next major milestone - Episode 1. Your support means so much during these periods of work between public uploads, and we're glad to share the experience with you! Without further delay, here's this week's news:

- Audio update: We have the voice audio for episode 1 and 2 fully cut, with only minor retakes and adjustments needed. Only eight to go! We'll be putting out a public video of some of our favorite Pumpkin Kid sounds soon, with some art, since PK is just plain fun.

- Episode 1 update: With the audio done, storyboarding can go full steam ahead, and we're now satisfied with 3/7 page's rough boards. While we'd like to reach out for assistance with storyboarding, we also want to keep the show's quality and our team's cooperation in mind. Initial probes haven't found the perfect match yet, so we push on with our rag tag duo for now!

- Social media update: What's this? We never talk about social media, here! Well we're excited to announce we hit 100 subscribers on Youtube this week, feel connected in our new Twitter presence, and plan to dive into the unknown void of Instagram in the near future! Facebook remains a desolate wasteland, but that's okay. It's just been an exciting learning experience in project management, so we wanted to share!

- Book update: While we've been focused mainly on getting audio sorted, we did want to share a decision we've made for our book patrons. We value your support so much, and genuinely didn't expect anyone to care about our Patreon before the books were finished, so we're sorry for the wait! We're also overwhelmed by your support so early in our venture, and wanted you to know that the first time you're charged at the book tier, you're on the list to get a book whether you eventually downgrade or leave or what have you. We owe you our thanks and want to ensure you feel rewarded for your outstanding generosity!

That's all for this week! We push on, picking up steam after diverting attention to solidarity with our fellow Atlantians for a while. As always, feel free to send us any questions, comments, silliness to theWestPatch@gmail.com - and we'll see you next time!
