June Update
Added 2020-06-01 03:20:52 +0000 UTCHey folks,
Just a quick update, thanks for being patient about how long the RWBY video is taking. Trying to properly pace my points while still making the video entertaining to watch (especially for non-viewers of the show) is turning out to be harder than I thought. The video script really got away from me for a bit, it was like 60,000 words at one point and still not finished. Covid isolation has affected my productivity more than I've hoped, I felt like I was one of those people who was OK at isolation, but it's been a while now and it's starting to hit me.
I've hired four animators onto making various segments for the RWBY video. I'm really, really happy with the direction the videos I'm working on are going, and I think it's going to be worth the time, but I still wish it was all happening a little bit faster.
I've decided to split RWBY into two videos, because properly pacing out a video that is more than 2 and a bit hours is frankly beyond me. They're being made basically concurrently, the split is for pacing reasons more than anything. The first video shouldn't be too far away, but I've really got my head down on it right now so I haven't got the bonus material I had planned for this month ready: A BTS video documenting the process of doing all this, composed of stuff I've recorded while I was making this video. As soon as these videos are done I'll have that out and try to make some more bonus stuff to make up for it then - thanks for being so patient with all this!
It occurs to me that I haven't put out a video properly on my main channel in quite a while, but one of the advantages of working on about eight different things at once is, eventually, a whole bunch of things come out at once and people get a nice surprise! I'm really looking forward to when all the stuff starts to come out and people get why I took so long on everything. In a sense the next videos are going to represent a sort of 'hbomberguy 2.0'. Maybe that's just how it feels to me since I finally shaved my head and grew a beard and finally started hiring people, and the last few months have certainly been a bit of a character arc for everyone, but I really like the direction the work is taking lately.
I hope you're all doing OK. Stay safe out there.

2020-06-15 10:42:11 +0000 UTCOk, so I managed 3 seasons of RWBY and with every episode I died a little bit inside until I actually died. I'm dead now. Thanks HBomb.

2020-06-09 00:49:54 +0000 UTCVery much with you on the covid isolation thing. I lost 90 % of my income thanks (?) to not being able to create over the past two months. Took me a while to get to grips with it. I still can’t do sh*t, but at least I accepted it now. It’s fine not to be fine. Godspeed.

2020-06-06 10:40:17 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself, Harry! All you can do is make content your proud of at the pace you are able. I'll be sticking around for it, and I'm sure the others here on Patreon will, too!

2020-06-04 12:50:17 +0000 UTCErr, so I've never watched anything RWBY, should I do that in preparation for this video?

2020-06-02 07:33:36 +0000 UTCMuch as I'm looking forward to your next video, I really *don't* want to watch a future video talking about you being burnt out and miserable. Work at a pace that works for you, and please do what you need to do to keep yourself sane and healthy in quarantine.
Glyph
2020-06-02 06:43:06 +0000 UTCStay safe in quarantine dude! I know a lot of people have said it already but sanity is far more important right now than pushing out content! Best wishes dude from me and Dancekovsky :)
2020-06-01 19:51:38 +0000 UTCoh heck i forgot you were working on a rwby vid. RIP monty oum. stay safe and stay sane hbomb!

2020-06-01 16:47:45 +0000 UTCLook after yourself mate, I've got faith in your creative instincts. In a better world we wouldn't have to worry about money and deadlines and keeping our patrons happy. You know, like in full communism. When I realised your last main channel video was six months ago I honestly just hoped you were okay, then I came here and found a bunch of bonus videos I'd missed. It turned out to be a very good day! I hope you're taking the time to keep yourself sane in all of this.

2020-06-01 14:22:42 +0000 UTCI didn't know you were doing videos about RWBY, but now, I'm super excited about it! :D It's a show that I loved at first, that ranged from charming to exciting, but I feel that it entered a steady decline until I found it unbearable by Volume 5, and I haven't felt brave enough to try watching Volumes 6 and 7. It will be very interesting to see your usual humourous/analytical take on it. :)

2020-06-01 14:01:32 +0000 UTCCovid's hitting us all differently, stay safe
2020-06-01 12:43:22 +0000 UTCThis isolation is the worst. I'm fortunate enough to still have a job, but being couped up inside all the time makes it impossible to maintain the discipline required for working. Plus, with the state of the world right now, work just doesn't feel that important. There's too much else in life. Glad you're safe. Here's a wish for sanity to anyone who reads this.

2020-06-01 12:39:12 +0000 UTCLooking forward to a deluge Of vidyos soon-ish 😹 and for a glimpse of this mentioned beard. Finding it hard to picture u with non-comical facial hair. Hope u coping ok with the isolation
2020-06-01 12:07:15 +0000 UTCTake your time. Your mental health and well being is always more important than hitting every deadline on time. Stay safe and I look forward to witnessing the start of 'hbomberguy 2.0'
2020-06-01 10:56:28 +0000 UTCAlso my sympathies regarding Covid, stay safe.
Dave
2020-06-01 08:20:06 +0000 UTCI don't suppose you've read any of my posts regarding the RWBY video? Sorry just kinda dreading what I feel is a good show being slammed and the ensuing wave of bigots with shit eating grins using the video as a cudgel.
Dave
2020-06-01 08:19:33 +0000 UTCI am looking forward to your content, woo!

2020-06-01 07:34:05 +0000 UTCI saw the words BTS in the email and clicked but it had nothing to do with KPop so now I've been tricked into being informed about your process, understanding how much work you've put into it and looking forward to the result of said work.
CS Drennan
2020-06-01 07:22:35 +0000 UTCI'd best watch RWBY then. And yeah, everyone stay safe. I'm lucky as I'm "isolated" with my wife and daughter, but for those of you who are truly isolated, I feel for you.
Keef Baker
2020-06-01 06:24:42 +0000 UTCI didn't even realize you were working on a RWBY video, but I started watching the series for the first time recently, so I'm super excited! I'm assuming there will be major plot points from the latter seasons discussed? If so, will your points be going through everything in relatively chronological order (like the Sherlock video), or more jumping around?

2020-06-01 05:40:17 +0000 UTCPffft, no worries, take your time. Love your content and I'm really excited to see what you've got in the works (the 'hbomberguy 2.0' bit intrigues me, interested to see what changes will be made) but also very much willing to wait for it!!! Sorry isolation is taking its toll on you, I've been feeling it too and it sucks.
2020-06-01 05:18:14 +0000 UTCTake your time, hurry up, choice is yours don’t be late <3
2020-06-01 05:12:55 +0000 UTCIt'll be fun when a bunch of stuff comes out at once! Please always remember to take care of yourself <3

2020-06-01 04:16:02 +0000 UTCIt's clear that it's really important to you to keep topping yourself and evolving your style, and I find that inspirational. I think all really good creators do that, even if it does feel like it makes your job harder and harder. It's clear the audience appreciates it, though.

2020-06-01 04:04:04 +0000 UTCMove at whatever pace you need to! It's what keeps your videos so timeless to watch years after you've made them
2020-06-01 03:57:13 +0000 UTCKeep chugging away man! Im super excited to see the new videos, and im totally okay with them taking any amount of time you need.

2020-06-01 03:56:57 +0000 UTCJust make sure you're taking care of yourself. There's only one you in this world.

2020-06-01 03:40:22 +0000 UTCHonestly the shaved head works for you. I'm also looking forward to your opinions about RWBY, I really like the show myself, but I'm curious what you have to say about it. Also I've been keeping myself entertained by watching your older stuff.
2020-06-01 03:35:12 +0000 UTCWow, can't wait to see the shaved-pate-hairy-face look on you haha
Hieronymous Squash
2020-06-01 03:32:06 +0000 UTCI hope you’re taking care of yourself, and reaching out to people if you need to! ❤️ This stuff has been really tough for everyone, regardless of how well you normally deal with being alone. Try not to be too hard on yourself.
