Plans are in motion! (Blog) (Patreon)

So, while I've been thinking about the immediate future of my channel in terms of the style of content I want to focus on, and better planning out which videos I want to happen and when...

It hit me tonight that I should really give the same sort of attention to the Patreon Page here too!

So I figured I might start doing some more production updates especially for patrons, as it all add up towards a sneak peek at what I'm up to, and I can always throw some ideas around to see what you guys think!

Before I start I'll just ask one favor... if anyone is reading this could you leave a comment or hit the like button on here? I'm just curious if anyone's seeing these, especially as a few more of you have pledged recently!

Patreon changes:

Nothing major, but I intend to flip the switch on this page back to a "per Month" page purely in the interest of not asking people to double-dip if I end up making more videos in the next few months.

As it stands right now I have a total of 6 potential videos I want to get done by the beginning of February 2019, with some loose potential plans in place for a couple of videos after that.

It sounds a bit crazy given I've never been one for planning to far ahead of myself, but again since coming back from Canada I just seem to have this idea in my head that I'd like to get done.

IF (and I don't actually intend for this to happen) but IF I do end up missing out on my usual one main video a month target, the idea is that I'd be working on a series of videos and end up doing multiple videos in succession the following month...

We'll see how that goes in the new year though! ;)

But yeah, the same will always apply. Anything pledged goes straight back into the channel so I figured it's best to let you know what's up!

The Next Video:

As planned, now Spyro is out of the way (for now) I've dived straight into another game to review and I'd say I'm around 50% through playing the game, but I've been making quite a lot of notes after each play session.

So far it's shaping up to be... interesting... I'll say no more!

(Going back to Patreon for a second, this next game was funded from pledged I'd put to one side! So many thanks to everyone for helping out!)

It's a game that will fall into the theme of October, for sure. I'm just hoping it will provide me with enough material for a decent video. So far I think I've got that but obviously a lot of this comes down to what works well int he final script.

I'm aiming to have the game finished by the end of this week, and if there's anything special to unlock I'll try to run back and 100% the game if I feel it necessary but at the moment I don't think it's one of those kind of games...

Other things I've done ahead of time is made some artwrork (the header image of this post), I've finished the custom Petronious logo for this video, and I've got most of the thumbnail finished too.

All that's missing is the photo of me, but I'll take one when I film the camera segments. I can;t be showing you those to save ruining the game ;)

After That...

Well, after this video is done there's going to be Spyro again. The Reignited Trilogy is going to be released in the middle of November so I have two weeks to begin working on the videos for December and January (trying not to stress myself out thinking about it!)

And as for the Spyro video itself, I ideally want it to be a fairly quick-ish video to make. I don't think they'll be any need to talk about gameplay mechanics of level structures as it's a remake, so I can mostly focus on what I like and dislike about the REMAKE and then move on, as I'm keen to see what I can do with the games that follow that.

So, I'm a busy lad with stuff this week.

Hope everyone's doing well, and I'll keep you guys posted. Any questions or comments you want to make, you know where to find me!
