Post-Animal Crossing Update and New Video Preview

First off, sorry about vanishing (again). As most of you probably know by now, I (as well as Jade) was hired to work on the official guide for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It was a fantastic experience, spent a couple months basically living at Nintendo of America which was a thing which I'm sure I'll talk about in the near future. It did come with downsides though, most notably in that it was, shall we say, slightly undersold to me how much of my time it would require. This is not me complaining by any means, but suffice to say that I didn't have enough time to play the FF7 Remake demo, let alone do a great deal of productive work on Codex. There was some writing, some recording, but not a massive amount by any measure.
To make it a bit more frustrating on top of that, the deadline for how long this was going to last kept getting pushed back over and over. And on top of all of that, as I'm sure a couple of you have noticed, it was a couple weeks before the release of AC (IE the busiest time for the project) when the world went and became the fucking Purge. As such, it just hit a point where I just kind of decided that between a lack of knowledge, time, and energy on my part, that it was probably best for me to not post constant updates that I'd then need to walk back when new circumstances arose, but instead to just keep my mouth shut until I had something ready to show. I apologize if anyone felt like I'd flaked or should have communicated more clearly, but I hope you can understand why I felt it was better than repeating the constant update-with-no-content cycle that played out during Sekiro. I understand Valve better now.
That said, the project is finally over, and I have something ready to show now.
The Final Fantasy series that was being planned back in January is still very much going to be a thing, and this is going to be the first piece of that. There's still a couple art assets missing and a section that has yet to be recorded, but otherwise this is what will be going on the channel this week. This isn't all though; Work has already begun on the videos following up this one. My goal is to have a new video uploaded every Monday this month, and most if not all of them will be proper Codex Entry videos (though all shorter than what we've been doing recently). Also got a pretty solid pile of scripts, footage, audio, and research just waiting to get churned into proper videos. It's hard to be too certain of anything these days, but providing civilization doesn't collapse in the immediate future, I don't expect Codex content to be hard to come by anytime soon.
Thank you all so, so much for being patient and understanding through all of this. I can't tell you how much peace of mind it's given me and has sincerely helped a great deal. Promise to reward it soon.
Love ya'll.
Peace

Definitely wanna do a thing about it since I know I had some misconceptions about it going, just mainly a matter of figuring out the best way to format it. Not sure if that's something I should do as a proper video or as a loose discussion with someone.

Good to have you back and great to hear that you could work on another guide. Not sure, if you want/can talk about it right now, but I'd love to hear how different it was to work on a guide for an action game compared to Animal Crossing, which seems so be mostly down to raw spread sheet data.
