Random We Were Here Bullshittery - Update #4 (Patreon)

Good morning Patrons. Quite a bit to update you on this morning. Apologies for the wall of text :)

Firstly on "Random We Were Here Bullshittery", it's the start of the 5th week of work (sorry) and editing wise the video is almost complete. There are a couple of 20 second segments that still need text. But most of the video is edited. What needs to happen now is quality assurance. It's time to gradually go through the 20 minutes and spot errors, tighten transitions, maybe move things around slightly so they flow better. This process normally takes a couple of days, so I'm anticipating 4-5 days for a video that's 20 minutes in length. I've already done 1 minute and 40 seconds, and I'll continue today.

Secondly, for those who have been watching the Warhammer: Total War streams, BewBewDingo has completed the victory art-work piece for the Vampire faction - low res link.

For the unfamiliar, some of the single-player games I stream involve naming units after subs/patrons watching on Twitch. And this happens a lot in things like X-COM, Kerbal, Rimworld, Warhammer, etc. Leading to much more personalized and interesting playthrough as the chat follows the fate of, say..."General Coffee Venti" as he moves around the campaign map. On the conclusion of said campaigns, I commission the (absurdly talented) artist BewBewDingo to make a victory piece, showing said characters at feast.  There was one previously for the Dwarves (names) which I said I was going to make available in print form for those who might fancy one (and then totally never got round to, because I suck).

However the news is, on the recommendation of BewBewDingo I've made an account on RedBubble the printing service. And have ordered off nine test prints in various sizes. If the quality is to my satisfaction, I'll make both pieces publically available for print ordering, along with printing off a whole load of them anyway and will start mailing them out to Patrons who might want them. Bear with me there. If the service is any good it might be an avenue to make more art available for you.

And thirdly, after this bullshittery I was rather hoping to make another push on the DayZ video-essay thing. Hopefully a really big push this time to get it closer to completion, if you guys are okay with it? Over the weekend I was going through the existing videos and noted that a lot of them (mostly the second half) were edited almost to my satisfaction. Some tightening is needed in places where the argument is muddled. But it's mainly some of the earlier ones that need re-cutting (particularly the intro to simply make it more focused).

What I was hoping to do after this project is work on said tightening and reworking in order to make the existing parts 1-9 in one single complete video - "Womble's Soapbox - The DayZ Standalone". Then all I'd need to do after that is slot part 10 and the Epilogue onto the end at a later date. And bosh - it would be finished and could go public.

TL;DR - Random We were here Bullshittery entering the quality assurance phase. I'm working on getting some art prints available. And I'm hoping to work on the DayZ video essay after this if you're cool with it.
