Jan. Progress Report!
🕑 Added 2023-01-31 21:33:22 +0000 UTCJanuary is already over! What a quick month, huh?
WHAT DID I DO?
It's been a busy month! Obviously, Welcome to the Neighborhood! came out, after starting it nearly 3 months ago (according to the Oct. '22 Progress Report). Sometimes you spend way too long on the graphics! And by sometimes I mean I will do that forever and never change!
But it's been busy with other work, too, as Karen and I have been going a little harder on our writing stuff. It will sadly be invisible and un-talk-about-able for the foreseeable future, but again, here's hoping we'll have something to share eventually!
WHAT'S UP NEXT?
More writing! And another song video! I've been working on the music lately, and hopefully the video will be slightly less graphics heavy than the previous one.
That said, I've kind of made an unofficial goal to make my videos as visually different as possible this year. Green screens and the same small apartment rooms are fun, but I want to spend a little extra time to make sure the videos feel special or—at the very least—visually distinct.
In keeping with that, I've been thinking about spending some extra time on videos later this year. If I end up spending 2-3 months on a video (like the Health Insurance one) and not publishing every month, I'll be sure to give you all a heads up, and I'll keep you in the loop with more behind-the-scenes treats on the process of making it!
I've also got an even BIGGER plan to try and produce a legit short film that we'd try to put on the festival circuit before uploading to YouTube, and if that's the case, I'll be sure to give LOTS of updates on that. But that plan is still in its infancy, so don't expect news for a bit!
OTHER UPDATES?
I'm taking a little break from my Twitch for a bit, partially just to take a break after doing it nearly non-stop for 2.5 years, and partially to come back to it with fresh eyes. I keep feeling the urge to make something weirder on Twitch—maybe a weekly show or something that feels like it benefits from the live aspect—but I'm so comfortable with my standard wake-up-and-start-exercise-streaming routine that I haven't been able to give it much thought.
Oh, and I put up RGSS and there is a rock in my house and Welcome to the Neighborhood on Spotify, now, so that's something!
I turned 29 a couple days ago! It feels very similar to 28 so far.
OKAY CATCH YOU LATER!

I was also wondering this! I'd definitely enjoy whatever, but I'd miss bikestream too!

Happy belated birthday! I hope you had lots of fun 🥰

Happy birthday! 🎉 can’t wait to see what you do next, but please take as much time as you need to make them 😊
🤩 I've been eagerly awaiting the rock going up on spotify so I could add it to my "I'm afraid of the internet" playlist

happy belated birthday! not sure from the wording if you meant a new stream project might be in addition to bikestream or a replacement (or if you’d even have an answer to that yet, obv totally fine if not), but bikestream is always enjoyable and i would love to have it stick around at least a couple days a week. hope you enjoy the break, excited to see what comes next!

Going to miss the workout group but I'm excited to see what you decide to do next on Twitch
Christian Haney
Totally agree! So happy to see Brian's career evolving
Nate Matthews
Ohhhh I'm so excited to see what you cook up for twitch. Enjoy your break. OoT has been top tier. I'll always be around for whatever your going to do next, B.

Happy birthday! 🎉 Thank you for always taking the time to give us these detailed updates. It makes me feel like I'm right there for the ride with you! As others have said, I'm so glad that you are getting the opportunity to work on more projects even if it means we don't get to hear about it for some time 🧡 Can't wait to hear from you!

You know, it feels a little weird to say it, but I am excited that you get to do more stuff that we can't see yet. It's encouraging to know you're getting to work on things that involve that kind of secrecy, and, like, take steps toward goals/hopes/dreams/whatever that you've mentioned to us. That's what I want to help do here! I'm also excited for whatever you end up doing with twitch once you have the time the figure out what you wanna make of it, and I'm glad you're taking a break from it so you can think about that. I'm just glad you're doin' stuff!

Happy birthday! 🎉
