Delay on Year Four Launch
🕑 Added 2018-03-13 14:50:19 +0000 UTC Hey Patrons!I'll be sharing this info on Tumblr later in the week, but I wanted to let you guys know first. My goal for the launch of Year Four was late March, but I've been thinking about how I want to approach the last volume of Check, Please. Also newly on my docket is a project with a big deadline, and I know it will demand my attention. This means I don't feel comfortable updating before the end of March.
As patrons know, I'm finishing up the first episodes of Year Four. Currently, I could launch Bitty's senior year, but I want a more consistent update schedule for the rest of the volume. Starting Year Four—and then leaving the story on a cliffhanger and long hiatus—isn't how I want to approach the last year of this webcomic. I want to keep working on the next batch and to continue working much further out before announcing episodes.
The good news for patrons is that I will share as much of the comics as I can with you guys. And while I will definitely keep the Tumblr updated with extras, the patron blog will continue to have tons of info on Bitty's senior year. Also, I'll keep doing livestreams where I'll work on Year Four (and actually a lot of Huddle 3). I'm not stopping work on Check, Please, I'm just trying to build up a significant backlog. I'm glad I'll be able to share that work with at least you all!
But here's the other good news! The project with a big deadline? That would be the softball story I've previously mentioned.
...And I'm really excited to share with you guys that the softball story now has a publisher attached. So I will not only be showing pieces of Check, Please on the patron blog—I'll be talking a lot about the softball script. (Finally!)
I hope all of this makes sense! TL;DR—no updates any time soon, trying to make a backlog, but I'll share as much of the story that I can with patrons. Also, Softball! Thank you guys for your patience and please know that Check, Please will be back soon.
As always, thanks for understanding.

Congratulations!!!! Also, take your time!!!
Congrats for the publication deal!! Same as the others, a tighter schedule for year 4 sounds really good. Can't wait to see the streams (Huddle!!!) and know more about the softball girls.
That's great news!! All well worth the wait. And thank you so much for everything :)

Congratulations!! I'm excited to meet the softballers. You do what's best for you, and we'll be here! :D
I’m so happy for you!! I’m excited for everything! And I don’t mind waiting for Year 4! I do have one question. I remember you said you wanted to launch the kickstarter with/around the Year 4 launch. Does this mean the kickstarter is also delayed? Or is it still happening around the time you said?
That's fantastic to hear!!! And I don't mind officially waiting longer for Year Four to start if it means having a more consistent schedule to look forward to
Congratulations on the softball comic!! That’s so exciting!
Ahh I can’t wait to hear more about the softball comic!! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to a live stream soon 😓
That legit sounds like a better plan than releasing in spurts. Cool that your other project is becoming more concrete in terms of publishing!
Congrats to you and Mad about softball!!

That’s actually a good idea!! Getting a backlog so you have more control over When updates get posted. Good luck w the softball!!
Wow, this is such exciting news about softball! Congrats to you and Mad!
