Production livestream on 2022-09-03

Hello!

I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently. I fell in a big motivation hole and I'm trying to get myself out of that rut.

I will be streaming video editing for a few hours this Saturday afternoon (EDT). My aim is to start around 1 pm EDT (17:00 UTC) and stream for 4 to 6 hours depending on my energy.

As always, the link will be posted here on Patreon before I go live. S...

Production update 2022-08-12

Hello!

This update will be quick because I'm leaving for the weekend very soon and I have a bunch of stuff to do before I leave.

I worked hard this week! I dedicated one full day to understanding and synthesizing the entire route used for the new TTC improvements. It was tough, but I pulled through. After that, the rest of the script was a breeze to organize. Did I say organize? Sor...

Hello everyone!

I am back from my vacation, and from the week I needed to recover from my vacation.

The conference was amazing! My girlfriend and I were incredibly well received. The Big Techday was full of fun and inspiring talks, and the days around it were very fun as well. I met all sorts of cool people as well.

The rest of the trip was packed full of places to go, things ...

Hello everyone!

I hope everybody has been enjoying Part 6. The release went very well! The video gathered a nice amount of views and seemed to have been well received. 


I'm doing the presentation at the Big Techday 22 this Friday, at 11:30 CEST. That's 09:30 UTC and 5:30 am ...

Music for Part 6

Just one piece for the conclusion this time. Since my library of Mario music is getting pretty varied, I'm not adding much to it with every part. But as I move on from this series and dabble into other games, I will be renewing a lot more of the musical content with every video.

Hello!

I don't wanna spend too much time on this update because I have a lot of work ahead of me today. I have a couple pieces of news to share, and lots of progress. Let's dive right into it!

I've been quite busy with three things: working on Part 6, working on my presentation, and preparing the vacation to Germany. I have to thank my girlfriend for taking care of 90% of the last o...

Hello everyone!

What a week this has been! I originally got a bit behind due to a bit of laziness and a small lapse in motivation, but I caught back up and then some!

I'll get right onto it. The script is finished but there are a few points here and there I need to polish/correct still. According to my schedule, I should have been finishing the recording today, but that didn't happe...

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a great week. Overall, I did as well!

Renovations in the bathroom are dragging on but they are almost done. Meanwhile, my friends coming over this week had to cancel. That's okay, because I see them next month, and also because it gave me the opportunity to get ahead of schedule!

And that I did. Here's the overview as of right now:

As promised, I am back after 2-3 weeks. I've been busy and super productive!


Speedrunning presentation

The rehearsal presentation is this Friday! I'm definitely nervous. My presentation is fully done, but I haven't properly rehearsed it yet. I have a mild concern that it might be like 70 minutes long and I'll have to cut. Maybe becau...

Hello everyone!

First of all, I want to welcome the new supporters, and thank all of you, old and new. I hope you have been enjoying Part 5 of the ABC History series. It was a wild ride to make! From the look of it, it has been well received by everyone.

It's still a bit early to talk numbers, but they look good for now. it's performing as expected in its first 24 hours. Average wat...

Hello everyone!

I've got some good news and bad news. 

Bad news

I ended up delaying the release because I was just a little bit too behind schedule to make it a Saturday release, and I have a commitment on Sunday. Instead, I put up a poll on Discord, and Wednesday the 11th won out, just slightly ahead of Friday the 13th.

So! The video is coming out ...

Hello!

I am back. In the past few weeks, I've been away for all sorts of reasons, so I'll make a quick list: 

  • Took a small break as motivation was low after falling behind schedule
  • Went out of town for my great aunt's 80th birthday but that got cancelled the day before when she caught COVID (thankfully she pulled through!)
  • I helped out with the DK64 Rand...

Hello everyone!

Apologies for the silence. I let time slip by without realizing it.

So, unfortunately, progress has not been great recently. I set myself a bit of a rough schedule and I very quickly fell behind and lost momentum. I think I can pinpoint the moment I lost motivation to when I realized that Part 5 would be 45+ minutes long, whereas for the better part of the script wri...

New music!

Here's the Mario Kart 64 video's music! There's also an updated version of Part 4's SMRPG song, Let's Go Down the Wine River. I originally recorded it in A, but the original song is in sort of the middle between Ab and A, and I found that it sounded better if I pitched the whole thing down to Ab. I accidentally uploaded the version in A instead of the one in Ab (which is what I used in the vide...

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed Part 4. Here's a quick post-morterm!

In terms of performance, the video has been a little underwhelming. It makes sense, though, as it's a bit locked in the niche of the ABC history series. I was hoping the series would pick up momentum over time, but it's been losing some.

Super Mario RPG: Let's Go Down the Wine River arrangement

This is the only new piece of music in Part 4. Since my Mario catalogue is starting to get pretty wide, I won't be making 2-3 new songs every single Mario video. Enjoy!

It's been a while since my last update. Last week, I was progressing pretty well - so well, in fact, that I reorganized the schedule to fit the release a week earlier than the original schedule had planned. But ...

Hello!

I am back from the holidays. I took some time off since my head wasn't in the right place to work efficiently, and in that time, I made a few resolutions for 2022. Some of those pertain to my work schedule, or rather lack thereof. I decided that in 2022, I would structure my work better, both in the short term (i.e. one day) and in the long term (whole projects).
