As you may have caught from various updates I've posted, Toaster and I moved to record Arches, the standalone sequel to Echo. This was because I'm making a move to have a more permanent Visual Novel slot on the schedule because they're clearly so popular, and I unfortunately hadn't made progress on the TJ route of Echo with Stephanie for weeks.

But then, right after I announced that, Stephanie and I ended up recording a bunch of Echo and are probably 90% done with TJ's route now, so I've gone ahead and started airing the TJ route instead, because it's obviously ideal to get through as much of Echo as possible first. But Toaster and I already finished Arches, so what do I do with this series in the meantime?

PATREON PERK LET'S GOOOOO

So if you were looking forward to our series on Arches, here it is! Thanks for supporting me on Patreon. You have, tentatively, until at least May 25th to watch it early while it's unlisted. At some point when it's time to premiere the series after the conclusion of TJ's route I'll need to fully private the videos again so they can be scheduled. That's just how YouTube works: a video can't be "unlisted" (and thus linkable) AND scheduled.

This playlist does not, however, include the entire series. The primary conflict/scenario is concluded, but the two hour 'epilogue' is unavailable. This is because the final update of Arches is not yet public. It's exclusive to the EchoProject Patreon, so while we have recorded it, I will not leak it. I will make those episodes available to my Patreon and/or the public only once that build of the game is released to the public.

Hopefully this makes for a nice perk that makes up for the fact that New Vegas is a long game and we haven't had a vote this month.

On that note, I'm finally caving and switching to the Subscription Billing setting that Patreon has been pushing for ages. This means that people are billed when they first subscribe instead of at the beginning of the month, so if people join for a perk they can't just leave immediately and never get billed. This sounds like a change, but if you're already here your billing date will stay as the 1st of the month.
