Other projects - November 21st Update

Another week with no Raiden Legacy, but for a good reason.

For a while I've been trying to launch a Patreon; the lowest reward being receiving chapters a week early.
In launching the series before both chapters are ready, I've been playing catch up since September.
To solve this I'm skipping a week, with Chapter 07 coming out as a Patreon exclusive until Chapter 08 is ready, which should be next week (fingers crossed).

Once I've squared that away I can get back to the other projects I've had planned.

The first is How 2 Fail; the lets Play series I made with Mike "Amish" Clarke last year.
Unfortunately with Amish's insane work schedule I'm the only one working on this for the time being. And mainly getting Raiden Legacy up to speed is what's keeping that from coming out.
The series will be daily 10 minute episodes, with a different game each day.
The older stuff will stay on Battle Misfit for now, but will be linked to on the new channel, though we're looking into migrating everything over at some point.
The exceptions being Evo, Metal Gear Solid and the Time Machine I found at a Yard sale, since these are all on going.
 I also want to have weekly highlight videos on Battle Misfit, while a monthly highlight video will go up on my channel, Raichious Muffin.

Playing Devils Advocate is going to be a while, until around after February.
The original plan was to work on episodes along with Raiden Legacy, but that's not really feasible.
So I'm going for a new production model, where I'll be using my week long holidays from work to focus on a project like PDA.
After that it'll be all about waiting for the copyright claims to be taken care off, which will take about a month each, then schedule everything to come out periodically.
What was left of Season 1 will be rolled into Season 2; with any luck I can record a new first episode and last episode of the season with Chris over Christmas, since he isn't available outside of school holidays.
Also the new animation cells have taken a new turn; the setting will be changed and the aesthetics of the show will reflect these new surroundings.
When I start working on them properly I'll post stuff on the Facebook page; it's going to be fun if nothing else!

Finally Metal Gear D-Bridged; it started as a one off for the Team 4 Star contest, but it was fun enough that I want to do the entire series.
Pre-Production work has started on Metal Gear 2 D-Bridged, based on the second game for the MSX2.
This will have a longer production cycle, with more episodes coming out periodically.
Ideally I'll work on the main stuff during one of my free weeks, then release them as they come available, though if all goes well I can have everything done at once.
We'll see where that goes, but if you liked the first one it's officially on my to-do list.

Right now my life seems to be moving in a new direction; I'm hopefully moving house before the end of the year, and maybe a new job! This one will be full time potentially, but I'm looking into a new sleep cycle that will help me have more time to work.
Either way It most likely won't disrumpt my Raiden schedual too much.

Lot to talk about, and a lot in the works.
Stay tuned for the Patreon launch, and Raiden Legacy Chapter 07 will be out November 28th (hopefully).

November 6th Update

It’s been a while since the last update, but here I am!
So much has happened over the last year, and I finally get a chance to type about it.
I’ve started a few, but then something else came up and I wanted to add to this.

But anyway;
Raiden Legacy has started!
This has been a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time coming; if you’ve been following my pages I’ve talked about it forever, but I’ve been working on this since I was 11 on and off. Never thought I would actually be looking into publishing the thing.
A huge thanks to everyone who read the first few chapters, and especially to the people who shared them on social media.
The plan right now is to have chapter 1 to 6 be volume 1, with another bonus chapter included that won’t be online, as well as some extra stuff like mini strips and behind the scenes.
I want to have this out on kindle by the end of the year, and I’m on track to do that. I’ll be looking into a Kickstarter for a paperback version; most likely a few months into 2017, most likely February, after everyone gets a little less broke after Christmas.

I’ve been quiet recently because I’ve been trying to catch up to my own comic, so I’m one chapter ahead for the Patreon.
The lowest pledge of £1 a month will get supporters the next chapter early, with the patreon chapters always being 1 chapter ahead, even if I miss a week.
Doubt anyone will support it, but the same with the merch I make, it’s better to have that stuff out there on the off chance that someone takes an interest, otherwise what is the point where you can say, “OK, now I’ll make it, because I’m now popular enough.”

Now that I’ve caught up I’ll be releasing new things as I can.
I want to have Neuro Crash back before the end of the American election (for reasons), and hopefully How 2 Fail will be back this week on Wednesday. I’ll post more about them when they are actually out.
I wanted to focus on Raiden Legacy for now, to keep myself focused on one thing at a time.

That’s about everything.
I’ll be trying to get some ideas that I’ve been cooking up for a while on Youtube, the chief being Metal Gear D-Bridged 2; I’ve begun the writing process, but it’ll be some time before it comes together. This one will be under no time constraints too, so I’ll be taking longer to make it and produce new animations for the codec conversations.

That’s everything!
It’s good to be back and I better get back to it.
But needless to say, once the kindle version hits, I’ll be locked into Raiden for about 9 years.
No more restarts.
