November 2023 Production Update (Patreon)

Hello, friends.

Sorry if the lack of update posts like these is a problem. I write them when I feel the need, regarding a change or disruption in my production; otherwise, there's nothing to say, really.

At the moment, I want to take a break from Arby 'n' the Chief for a while.

I'm not done with the series; I still enjoy the process of making it, and have ideas for more silly, post-story episodes, but I'm creatively inclined to work on different projects right now. In making decent stuff, it's important to me that I follow that inclination.

These different projects include Hard Justice, first and foremost -- a machinima action and drama series also offering a satirically comedic view on policing that's based on an older show of mine of the same name -- as well as making some videos out of my streams, whether they're candid ones using footage of me discussing a single topic extracted from my podcast, or satirical videos like those in my Professional Reviews series, made with footage from my gaming streams, along with highlight compilations, for people who don't want to sit through the sheer length of the streams.

I'm not certain about delivering more highlight streams following the release of the Resident Evil 4 (2023) one, as I don't think the views are justifying the time spent cutting them together. I put it out because it's the kind of thing that I would likely watch if it came from somebody who I like.

I'd appreciate some input from you on that.

I'm often asked by some of my viewers how Hard Justice is coming along, and I keep responding "slowly", as it's too much for me to pick away at that significantly while also delivering Arby 'n' the Chief content regularly, the latter of which is a more time-consuming production than I suspect many realize. I would like to spend some time not having to worry about that, and instead working to get a thorough outline of an entire season of Hard Justice finalized -- a massive amount of which has already been worked on over a number of years -- then begin producing episodes of that show, hopefully within the next few months, while doing some podcasts and gaming streams in between.

I hope my recent increase in streaming has been welcome.

To people who are paying subscribers to me who are only interested in more Arby 'n' the Chief content, you may want to pause or cancel your support before the next billing cycle, starting on the first of the month to come.

I'm hoping my audience will be happy that I'm offering something new. If not, no worries.

To gain a sense of what to expect from Hard Justice you can check out my concept teaser I put out for it some time ago, available on my YouTube channel.

To everyone tuning into my work, subscribing to my channel, and financially supporting me, thank you. I'm very grateful for everything I've ever received, however small, and hope you're looking forward to my content to come.
