It was soooo worth it man, awesome film! Great job and huge kudos to the team. I just wanted to see some clanners getting blown up. :P Especially jackasses with green mohawks.

2024-11-22 14:46:33 +0000 UTCAs we are now in the future, it was worth the wait. It has been always worth the wait, so you need not concern yourself with delays.

2024-10-02 06:22:34 +0000 UTCYou have certainly returned my trust. The video was an absolute banger of a video. it was worth it. Thank you Tex and co. We love you.

2024-09-17 23:15:51 +0000 UTCTex, one of these days I hope you will realize that you have the communities full faith and trust. If you say it needs more time in the oven, we know you can be trusted.

2024-09-15 12:41:28 +0000 UTCTex, I'm just happy to see a finished product that lives up to your expectations, knowing that if it does that then it will surely live up to mine. You are a far harder task master than any of us. We eagerly await your finished product. I miss your streams and would rather you take a pace that allows you to enjoy yourself. Especially if it's in Render. it's not like you going coms silent makes it render faster. Unless what you also need is a break from US. In that case, take all the time you need dude. Personally, I want more Ultimate Admiral and SS13, but at your pace and because it's something you do because you enjoy it. Rest assured speaking at least for myself, you have nothing to apologize for.

2024-09-15 01:20:53 +0000 UTCHey Tex, just wanted to stop by and check your ok? Please take care of yourself and take the time to pause, reset and don't burn yourself out.

2024-09-14 20:59:07 +0000 UTCHey Pal, came across this.

Oli B
2024-09-14 19:53:00 +0000 UTCWait that's all the drop in content is? Thank gods for that, I was worried something terrible had happened to you all. Glad I checked here, take your time, take your break after, and keep well all of you.

Doctor Brew
2024-09-10 00:42:15 +0000 UTCYou guys are fine and your transparency Tex isn’t necessary but always appreciated Brother. Can’t wait and full trust man.
Jim Magee
2024-09-10 00:01:16 +0000 UTCI can't ever recall a product coming out where I said "Man, I wish they had polished less and rushed more!". I think most of us trust you and your team wholeheartedly on these matters. You are easily the single most communicative and transparent creative team I follow. No apology is necessary. It's done when it's done. Your dedication to your art is noted and appreciated. And I am glad you will take some time after this.
Adam Stadnick
2024-09-09 13:27:07 +0000 UTCRemember, this is your hobby. And an art form. It takes time, so take your time. Don't burn yourselves out.
Neonite
2024-09-09 06:17:32 +0000 UTCYou never can rush anything artistic. When you know it is ready it will be done and not a second sooner. I can't wait to hear it. My health is not that good right now. They are thinking it is my heart so that is troubling to me. Sorry to go deep, but it helps me to say it out loud.
Mike Carpenter
2024-09-09 02:50:22 +0000 UTCHey, You can't rush quality and you guys have always proven smart enough not to try. I'm excited to see what you produce whenever you feel it's ready.

Timmeh!
2024-09-07 20:05:06 +0000 UTCCan't rush greatness Tex - take the time that is needed to make it *right*. Dedication to the effort and the craft is what makes y'all well worth my money. To my mind, you and the team have well proven yourselves; I'm more than happy to wait until y'all feel it's ready.
Bill_the_Guardsman
2024-09-07 14:28:44 +0000 UTC1. you didnt need to ask. you say 10 more days for quality. then ten more days it is. 2. double it. triple it if necessary. as you said. many works crumble in the final hour when needs are unheeded. only thing i request is after its release, you acquire a meal that you will remember for a few years to come.
Sphintus_Koyote
2024-09-07 05:46:22 +0000 UTCTex, firstly it is ok. I understand trying to work a job and making content. You want to make it right I do get it on making things. You and Sven van der plank, big red 40k. You have been doing more for the 40th annversary of battletech than Catalyst has been doing. Look how long they have been on the kickstarter for mercs! Take the well deserved break when its done. Also I am giving money, I also would like to help with art too. You are good man. want to hang with you one day.
stephen rickman
2024-09-07 04:20:34 +0000 UTCYeah, take all the time you need. its taking a little longer to cook, and that's fine. You guys make the most wonderful things, and I have faith in you all.

Diobovinius
2024-09-07 03:16:45 +0000 UTCTex, I really want to see this movie, but not until you and your crew have taken all of the time needed to take care of your mental and physical health. Take as long as needed. I will be here when it comes out.
Patrick Gamblin
2024-09-07 03:09:00 +0000 UTCAll that matters is the work is almost finished. The when is irrelevant compared to the inevitable finale. I just hope that when it comes, you feel satisfied that your labor bore fruit, & take joy in its completion. Regret born from a sense that you could have, or should have done better. Is the worst poison for the soul, for it is self evident, & thus inescapable. Such is the nature of any task, life especially. So take solace in your endeavor, & appreciate the result of all your toil.
TOWNSENDLY
2024-09-07 02:42:16 +0000 UTCAs someone who does not involve myself in production of visual or auditory art, HOW DARE! We know you're going to be putting out something worth waiting on, so take as much time as it takes, and we won't be going anywhere.

Pistol6699
2024-09-06 19:36:34 +0000 UTCTEX... When this is done, you should get Mike and those of the team who are close by and go find a place that does Korean Corn Dogs. You will not be disappointed with the variety.
Tim Kennedy
2024-09-06 19:34:53 +0000 UTCJust because I might’ve headcannoned that particular conversation (and even gave Tex a 30 second script of it in a previous weekly update) doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it here.
MrToBeNamedLater
2024-09-06 16:18:07 +0000 UTCTex, don’t sweat it. Take the time you need, we know it’s worth the wait. I hope you and the team get the rest you all deserve.
Treech
2024-09-06 15:59:54 +0000 UTCIt’s cool Tex. Rest up and rest well. Take as much time as you need for the computers to go brrrrrr. The movie will be ready when it’s ready.

James or 01010001
2024-09-06 11:14:59 +0000 UTCIt would have been awesome if Paul and Tex could have done a video together. Very similar type of guy, aware, smart, methodical, sense of humor, and willing to share everything they know and do.
Nonkel Bob
2024-09-06 06:57:21 +0000 UTCThe only demand I will ever make is that you take a second to grab a beverage, take a deep breath, and pace yourself. We are here cause we love what you do and trust you to take as long as needed to be happy with what you all put out which has always been good. We are also here because sometimes you need to remember to take time off and only seem willing if the shareholders start to all grumble and holler about you doing so. xD Take what you need brother, we can wait quite happily.
Mechanist Grimm
2024-09-06 06:28:57 +0000 UTCDid you just recommend locust labs when they are going on a month long vacation?
dogsoneup
2024-09-06 05:21:04 +0000 UTCThe person who refused to take a vacation is asking for a couple of days break. Irony knocking on your door Tex. Take the time you need. You've been doing this "Best thing we have made to date" for a few years now. Keep in mind that no matter how tall a tower you build , that tower will someday have its last piece placed, and someday also topple. Maybe climb back a little bit on the next project, as the bar below you is nowhere in conceivable sight. Not everything has to be the best and better than the last. That's a recipe for collapse in more than one meaning of the word 'collapse'. Don't set yourself up for a massive fall. You yourself in the Warhammer vid said that sometimes good enough is perfect. Have you reached your good enough yet? the fanbase surely seems very happy. I am happy with what's come out. You seem to be. The team seems to be, right? Don't feel guilty. Paid vacations are paid for a reason: they are earned. Take one. Everyone should take one. Maybe they could trick you by saying its a new group project called "Tex Talks Vacation" and its just research for the next big documentary... Thanks for the work you do, but please be sure it doesn't come at the sacrifice of the rest of your life and enjoyment of it. Don't leave the other things you love to wither. A dead garden with a single perfect rose in the middle is still a dead garden. Take care. There are many ways to measure things, but by all the ones I know of or value, you're doing amazing.
Raythe
2024-09-06 04:45:52 +0000 UTCanything our people produce is always done when its done, because it needs to be. take the time you need i know itll be worth the wait. i look forward to the shitposting, the art, and the learning more of the battletech universe so many of us love. see you at the premier, Mr Tex.
Sir Grunk

2024-09-06 04:42:44 +0000 UTCMeh, it's ready when it's ready, I'm sure we understand that. More than anything I appreciate creators not rushing themselves or their staff <3
m0narch
2024-09-06 04:26:54 +0000 UTCGood sir, it will be ready when it is ready. I'd rather have it done right than rushed. That's how you get the Ford Pinto. Rushing is bad. Take care of yourself and your team. The rest will follow.

Deliver it when it is ready, when you are ready. It will be glorious, I have no doubt. For now take it from all of us, it’s fine. It’s good. Our faith is unshaken. Thank you for letting us know. Now take a break, take a breath, take a nap, take a drink or two. This is not a metal before meat crowd… except when dice and hexes are in play.

Paul Chappell
2024-09-05 23:50:59 +0000 UTCI've been watching your projects long enough to know that they're well worth the wait. Sometimes renders take longer than expected, it happens. Recite the canticles of processing, beseech the machine spirits, and praise the Omnisiah. All will be as it should.

Kasperl Stormcrow
2024-09-05 23:33:40 +0000 UTCWe don't call it render hell because it's ever on time, predictable, or ever goes right the first, second, or even third time. We call it render hell because it's a pain in the rear at the very last moment and it's the final push out the door clinging onto the walls of the mechanical labyrinths in your computers as it kicks, screams, and flails its arms out before you can properly seal it in a nice, pristine, freshly labeled jar. Breath in deep and know that we understand this madness just takes time regardless of anybody's wishes, and that we'll be waiting for however long it needs to bake.
George Jetson
2024-09-05 23:23:06 +0000 UTCPatients is a virtue that we the audience can apply. When the movie is ready it is ready. I personally will be waiting with anticipation.

B-Mang
2024-09-05 23:15:15 +0000 UTCHey, that's completely fine. Delays like this can be expected and I appreciate you warning us. We know you always deliver on quality and always put your all in your project. You make your very own art and it's not nothing. Take a breath, à little break and finish it at your rythme without rushing, that's also the ethical choice to take care of your team. We trust you and your team so take care.
Mathieu Martineau
2024-09-05 22:41:32 +0000 UTCHello Tex. Personally I am much happier when the project is released when it's ready rather than undercooked, so no matter what you will still have my support because I still believe that work of You and Your team matters and so far I haven't been disappointed. TLDR: No need need to apologize, I will gladly wait until YOU guys feel confident that it is ready. Thank you for your Hard Work
Jan Raynor Sereda

Elijah Snow
2024-09-05 22:17:47 +0000 UTCBetter to have it done when its done than releasing it half baked Tex. You don't take a cake out of the oven when you run out of time, you make sure its bloody well baked properly or the party you intend to serve it at is gonna be disappointed. Don't worry about it. We've waited this long man. We can wait longer. Don't sweat it.
RevenVrake
2024-09-05 22:15:43 +0000 UTCAll good, it’s done when it’s done. Still excited, take all the time you need, nobody wants you guys to burn out.
Mike J Sikora
2024-09-05 22:09:19 +0000 UTCTex, seriously, I'm more than happy for you to take all the time you and your team need. You and your team have more than earnt that trust.
Dan Galipo
2024-09-05 22:08:42 +0000 UTCSo to the question of "When will this be done?" the proper answer is what many of the good game companies use in response to that question. "When it's done." (They may or may not add certain expletives to that comment, but that is implied if they do not.) We can wait and if certain of us can't, then they better damn well be terminal and worried production will take longer than their remaining lifespan.
Dyscopete
2024-09-05 22:06:45 +0000 UTCAs a "shareholder" according to your own words, I have but one demand: When this is released, your time off be NO LESS than 30 days. MINIMUM. No negotiation.
Baron Ouranos Helaine
2024-09-05 22:03:08 +0000 UTCTex, no need to apologize for taking any amount of time you need. You and the team make amazing contributions to this community, just be sure to take care of yourself in there too. I'd offer to help but unless someone on the team needs an airplane fixed my services will probably not be super helpful

2024-09-05 21:12:14 +0000 UTCGood things take time, take your time sir. I've been living on that trailer since it came out and few more days are nothing. If anything, I'm even more excited. Also for you, maybe you'll finally be able to take a short break =]
Lubomír Bednář
2024-09-05 20:58:03 +0000 UTCIt’s all good Tex I’m a believer in the BPL Team. So as far as this “investor” 😉😉 😂 is concerned…. Continue to take more of my 💰 to make the coolest stuff possible! It’ll be worth the wait! 💯💯
RobinWhiteTX
2024-09-05 20:34:54 +0000 UTCGotta be honest, I have no problems with this. Way too many videos (especially mine) have the littlest f'up slip through that I caught after it was uploaded. So take it slow and easy while doing this so you don't overly stress yourself out. As you warn us about having a parasocial relationship with you, I feel that we must say the same to you. We'll be fine if it takes a little bit to get out. Besides, I had open heart triple bypass on the 26th of August and just got home this Tuesday. I was really afraid I'd miss the premiere because of that, but when I got home I found I didn't. So it's all good.

2024-09-05 20:33:54 +0000 UTCIt will take as long as it takes. Don't worry about us, this just gives us time to get more popcorn.

Tele Tanker
2024-09-05 19:58:03 +0000 UTCOh no, the incredibly awesome thing you're making for all of us for free is delay for quality control. Do we ask for a manager? A refund? Just kidding of course, you have the absolute trust of the community and we know you're going to knock it out of the park as a team. Take your time, don't lose the love in labor of love.

Walt_Man
2024-09-05 19:17:55 +0000 UTCWell, project management can often be more art than science. I have no problem waiting if the product is worth the wait. Given what you guys have produced in the past, and you saying this is your best work yet, i expect that this will be entirely worth the wait. I look forward to having my expectations surpassed.
Ironguard
2024-09-05 19:17:40 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need Tex, we trust you to do what is best for both the production and you/the team.
CPTMAUGHAN
2024-09-05 19:14:00 +0000 UTCAll hat and no cowboy? Hatts a decent bloke that's not a bad thing. Joking aside, you have every right to be protective of this and frankly "when it's done" is an important statement to make that many producers and developers could learn from. Take the time Tex, we know you are committed to doing this right.
Iden DeSeer

2024-09-05 18:33:52 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same thing. That was so sudden but he’s no longer in pain. Fortunately, I do believe he’s blasting meat targets on God’s holy firing range as we speak with Saint Moses Browning using only the most sacred of calibers, .45 ACP with the most revered of instruments, the M1911.

Big Mac
2024-09-05 18:08:02 +0000 UTCTake as much time as necessary Mr Tex. Your work has always been worth it.
Bryan Kollmorgen
2024-09-05 18:01:13 +0000 UTCYou could have asked for a month, a season, however much, and my answer would have been exactly the same: Take the time you need. The work that every single member of your team and everyone that helps you is a damn inspiration, and by all the gods you have earned more good faith and trust than a fair number of public institutions across history. You’ll have my support and that of (I feel confident asserting) thousands of others as long as you need, because you bring a level of professionalism and joy to this fandom than any other independent crew I can think of, and that’s a high goddamn bar you pole vault over.
Benjamin Floyd
2024-09-05 17:57:14 +0000 UTCHearing the entire message Tex, I stand even firmer on this. We respect and support the quality of production and you have earned our trust in triplicate.

Intrepid_169
2024-09-05 17:30:39 +0000 UTCJust a couple of things: A TTB film is always a gift, no matter when it comes. Take the time to do it comfortably, crunch never ends well in the long run. I'm here because I want to support BPL videos. Every one of them. Even the carbonated spaghetti. Take time off, not only you, your team too. Burnout is a bitch and it takes a lot of time to recover (if you can).

2024-09-05 17:25:47 +0000 UTCTex, When you announce an unexpected delay, I hear that as: "Oh boy, if you stick around, you'll be in for the ride of your life! And if your little BT fanboy heart can't handle the level of awesome, I guarantee you'll snuff it with the world's biggest grin on your face!" And I know you aren't exagerating either! 🥳🤘🏻🖖🏻

swiftdraw
2024-09-05 16:55:31 +0000 UTCNo Worries Tex. Take your time. Quality is always worth the wait.
davezero
2024-09-05 16:54:52 +0000 UTCThe fact that you won't push out a film to meet some arbitrary deadline is exactly why so many of us support you and your team. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I feel you needn't ask for forgiveness for taking a few extra days to ensure the film lives up to everyone's expectations, your own included. Get it done. Get some rest. Screw the haters (and Capellans). See you at the premier.
ApokalypseCow
2024-09-05 16:53:00 +0000 UTCIt makes me very happy to know that my money is going to folks who value quality over quantity and are willing to blow past arbitrary deadlines to get their projects right. I wish my own company could learn from your approach. Be well, be kind to yourself, and enjoy the process. Be proud of what you’re doing here, it makes the world a better place.

Net Zen
2024-09-05 16:37:11 +0000 UTCSomething, something quality over quantity. Really all I am hearing is you're team are doing your best with a shoe string budget. I can respect that as can basically everyone here. Chill man, you got this.
ManUnmade
2024-09-05 16:34:53 +0000 UTCIronically enough, while i was listening to this, it ran out of buffering right when the phrase "This is where you can screw everything up" was uttered. But that's my reception and Patreon's fault. Anyway. Good, fast, or cheap - pick two. I'm willing to sacrifice speed for quality, and it looks like there's a lot of us in the same camp.
Brad Moyer

WinglessRayven
2024-09-05 16:26:31 +0000 UTCNo worries brother, you guys have been going full bore on this and this shit takes time. Having seen the previews that the team has given on WBPL76 it’s going to be well worth the wait
Chris Stochaj
2024-09-05 16:26:26 +0000 UTCDon't worry about it, I know it'll be worth the wait. I would have actually missed the premiere if it had been this weekend anyway 😁
Weirdfish
2024-09-05 16:25:44 +0000 UTCNo worries. Another week to make sure a year-long effort gets properly rendered is just fine.
Chase Hamilton
2024-09-05 16:25:08 +0000 UTCSeven to ten days? That's it?! Tex, you & your amazing team could take another whole year and I'd gladly, happily, & patiently wait for the awesome quality you all produce. Much love & support your way, brother.
BakersWrath
2024-09-05 16:25:04 +0000 UTCNo need for an apology. We can wait a few more days or even two more weeks, if necessary. Longer, if necessary. Well, we will be vibrating with anticipation, but we can wait. Take your well deserved rest, polish that bad boy until you are sure it is ready for prime time and then hit us with it. Till then, we wait.
Marcus Sebastian Schuch
2024-09-05 16:24:23 +0000 UTCDon't rush, take your time, rest and reload, It's better to take the Time and comb it over, and don't apologize for trying to make something of Quality. See you at the Premiere!

Deadlines amd budget be damned. All we want is for you to continue making content, and give it your all, and be proud of it. And we will be here the while way to witness , shitpost, and archive your journey for all to see. Do your best, dont kill yourself doing it, and let's get this fucking side corn together.

2024-09-05 16:17:45 +0000 UTCNever apologize for wanting to create the best work you can. Thank you for the update. Take all the time you and your team need, then rest on your laurels. You have more than earned it.
Luminaire
2024-09-05 16:16:19 +0000 UTCTex, I'm just repeating what everyone else is saying but I'll add my two cents...you do what you've got to do. No apologies are necessary. You have always been your greatest critic and yet we understand and support you whatever needs to be done. Probably the biggest reason I support you (I don't want to speak for anyone else here) is that I admire and respect your desire to do things right, regardless of what it takes. Greatness doesn't come from cutting corners, and it certainly doesn't come by rushing things before they're ready. So again, you do what you feel you need to do, and I'm sure we'll all be here patiently and enthusiastically looking forward to yet another masterpiece of BattleTech lore.
MarauderTDL
2024-09-05 16:15:14 +0000 UTCIt must be hard for an artist to let it breathe, we trust your judgment! I’m looking forward to what you, Mike and all the rest have done! See you at the finish line! Appreciate all of you!

Sgt Potshot
2024-09-05 16:08:19 +0000 UTCAny complaints are Capellan propaganda. Take your time. Quality takes time. Don't burn yourself out. Take vacations. Your work and your team's work is appreciated because it's excellent, not because it's turned out on an arbitrary date. Someday, if your team want, it'd be fun to hear about the process. Nerd that I am, I'd love to hear about the hardware and software involved.

And besides, you can't rush art. You'll get it done, and when we finally see it, I am sure I will watch it several times in a row, just to spot all the little details within the video, and just admire the art. And so, I will patiently wait for the show. As I am sure we all will <3

Panzerfan
2024-09-05 16:02:36 +0000 UTCMy only criticism is that the team and yourself need to take more time for yourselves. While I only speak for myself, I suspect most others here feel the same... I can wait as long as it takes to get it right, so long as y'all don't burn yourselves out in the process. Yourselves first, internet weirdos last. Flank speed, forward, never straight. o7

Asking us for more time is a non-question...I know you are polishing to highest quality while showing off the talents of your huge stable of artists because they are fucking awesome. Do what you need to do to release the product YOU want. We shall wait with giddy anticipation, we will be here when you are ready to release

2024-09-05 16:01:10 +0000 UTCAs a patron of the arts in many forms. Here here, support your artists, pay them, and pay them well. Next time let them go nuts with their artistic freedom and expression. To the team. All of you make the little slice of YouTube nay the world that much better. You make our days better just for making something great fictional or not. That's all it takes sometimes to make a difference on a bad day for someone, for a new artist to pick up a pen, or pickup a microphone. Here's to another great run and I'll see you at the end of the film reel.

2024-09-05 16:00:44 +0000 UTCTex. Listen. There's no need for apologies my friend. The fact you've worked on this so hard, the fact you've got many others helping on it and the fact it's actually THIS big means the wait will be worth it. Do not rush this. Do not fret over this. We are here to support you in whatever you need. We look forward to the final product with eager anticipation. Long live Cargonia!
Khan Jorgennson
2024-09-05 16:00:11 +0000 UTCDude it's all good. It takes time and there's always a wrench in it somewhere. It'll be out when it's out. Y'all just take care of yourselves.

Molly McAllister
2024-09-05 15:58:04 +0000 UTCThere's nothing worse than deadlines for deadlines' sake. We all know the team has been working long and hard on this, and the wait WILL be worth it so there's no point trying to rush things out the door at this stage. It will be Glorious!
Conjoiner
2024-09-05 15:58:01 +0000 UTCTo paraphrase Plato: Those who repudiate leadership are those most worthy to rule. This man has denied the importance of his vision, his leadership, and his insistence on excellence all the while inspiring others to elevate their craft. To spread the love of BattleTech across the spectrum of controversial creators, Vtubers, and everyone in between. Only at the insistence of his team and supporters take modest compensation for his efforts and the occasional, well deserved rest. He will deny it vehemently, but truly this is the Philosopher King Plato referenced and why despite all the trials and tribulations of my own life, I will continue my support because this work brings such joy to those who create and are sustained by the products of their efforts.

2024-09-05 15:52:07 +0000 UTCI feel that it’s sad you feel the need to apologize for delivering a quality product. Also a great commentary on our current day.

2024-09-05 15:51:50 +0000 UTCSo when this audio first loaded, it was four minutes, about praising your artists and team. My reply to that was: "And without you, your team wouldn't have been brought together to do it. We praise them....AND YOU." And I stand by that. That said, if it takes a few more days, it takes a few more days. We'll live.

2024-09-05 15:50:08 +0000 UTCTex, ive been a supporter for some time. You and your team are, in your tireless efforts, beacons of quality in an ocean of cheap, disposable slop. You and your team will have my support, as long as I am able, until I can't, or you retire. Now, you and your team, take a bow, accept our thanks, and go get some well, we'll earned rest!

2024-09-05 15:50:05 +0000 UTCAwh hell, Tex, if you told me it was going to take 7-10 WEEKS I would have no problem. This is in memory of your beloved friend. You don’t fucking cut corners on that. You do it until it is done right. Nothing short or less of that is acceptable to you or us. You do what you gotta do.
