December 2023 Production Update
🕑 Added 2024-01-01 02:05:57 +0000 UTCHello, friends.
I hope you enjoyed the holidays, as well as my little Christmas video. I'm sorry if you were expecting more than it. I didn't even have an idea for a Christmas upload until mid-December, and the idea kept changing -- first it was gonna be a short Die Hard parody, then when I realized I wouldn't be able to flesh it out or make it funny enough in time for Christmas day, it turned into a little story involving gift opening with a big gag at the end, but then the script for that ballooned into something unrealistic for the ever-shortening time window; so, two days before Christmas, I wrote the video that I ended up making, and rushed to get it up for the holiday, staying up until 5AM on Christmas Eve editing. I noticed a couple of people were disappointed that there wasn't a Christmas video planned and I felt bad. I wanted to deliver something with a bit of heart, small as it ended up being, to show my gratitude for my patrons and members' continued financial support; and now, fortunately, I have some material to further develop throughout the coming year to be prepared for production of a more elaborate Christmas video next December.
The writing for my upcoming machinima series about cops, Hard Justice, continues to come along nicely, although I took a break from it over the holidays. I'm hoping to get something out at least pertaining to it in February, even if it's just a teaser or trailer.
As I had Arbiter say in the Christmas video, throughout 2024 I'd like to increase the regularity of my uploads, not only with streams and smaller videos made from their footage, like an upcoming highlights reel of my Game Awards show watch-along and a video on my machinima creation methods, as well as gaming streams to come, like one of Sonic Adventure, and more Professional Reviews based on whatever games I stream, but also short Arby 'n' the Chief sketches, likely in the form of a fourth season of Bytes with the original run times of a few-to-ten minutes each.
Every now and then I pick away at the development of a video game I eventually want to make, likely something of the first-person horror genre -- though it could also end up being an action side-scroller or top-down comedy RPG -- but that's still in the very early stages of development; although now I've read three computer science books about writing in C and C++ and working with the latest version of the Godot game development engine.
If you enjoy my appearances on other shows, I recently participated in a couple of Every Frame A Pause (EFAP) streams that are available on YouTube now: one's a group reaction to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and the other is that of one of YouTube movie reviewer Chris Stuckmann's videos regarding his favorite films of 2023.
Thank you as always for your viewership and continued, generous support, I really appreciate everything, however small, and I wish you all a happy new year!
