May 2024 Update- (Patreon)

Hey all, it's time for the May Patreon Update-

VIDEO NEWS-

The screenshot for this month is a fresh off the press Arthur shot!

*EDIT: Replaced the .gif with a new one to fix some button shenanigans on the vest, thanks for catching that!

We've got more and more shots crossing a similar finish line, as a lot of my personal work this past month mostly involved shot correction. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but the shots left remaining involve the big, complex lad that is Murder Mystery. There is one particular shot early on we needed to go back to and start from scratch on but I don't expect to be doing that for anything beyond that particular shot (at least we hope). The epilogue sequence in particular is probably nearing full completion as far as character animation is concerned.

That's probably as most as I can currently go into as far as video news is concerned. While we got pieces lining up, we certainly got some shots remaining that are something of a doozy, so things will be busy as usually for the next month.

PLUSH NEWS-

So odds are most people probably already have their Arthur plushes by now! I honestly wasn't personally expecting any of the plushes to be out and about yet, but sure enough Arthur got sent out fairly early on in the month! As of this writing, Vivi is beginning to ship out, and I've seen some people already get theirs! I'm still waiting on mine, though I know they've been shipped out by now! Thanks once again to Makeship for all their support in all this!

TOUR NEWS-

As previously mentioned last time, the Mystery Skulls Forever tour is getting ready to start soon!

JUL 20, 2024

The Far Out Lounge and Stage

Austin, TX

As a reminder, I'll be planning on heading to this one in Austin, TX to be around for meet-n-greeting! So if you wanted to come by and say hey, I should be around for it!

MISC NEWS-

As for June, things might be a bit maxed out for me this coming month. I got both car things to get fixed and personal medical stuff to attend to every Monday this month, so it's probably going to be a bit of stressed out month for me. I don't think it'll be so drastic as to take me completely out this month from working on video stuff, but it'll certainly sap some energy out of me. I don't EXPECT it to cancel out a summary Patreon for the next month, but we'll see. It also shouldn't get in the way of me attending the aforementioned meet-n-greet stuff July.

Also apologies for the lack of any kind of stream activity lately. I feel like I probably won't be able to really get around to it as we approach the final months of working on the video.

As always, I am eternally grateful for everyone's support and patience. We are getting ever closer to our due date on things and we'll be doing what we can do make sure we deliver.
