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.

Robert Lowe

As 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.

Jason Fairfield

You 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.

Jaden Devore

You can't rush genius. Keep doing your thing boss.

Packrat

Just saw this. These videos will happen when they happen. Thank you for keeping us updated, sir. You guys are all aces in my book, take the time you need and we'll be here to support you through it all.

Tyrazial Angelis

Hang in there Tex and company, your stuff is amazing I love BPL!

Dwin of Virginia

I was worried that people weren't okay, I see that people are as okay as they can be. Rock on! Be well, break all the legs. Much love and appreciation always, thank you all for enhancing reality with kindness and fun.

Waltz

Think of Tex and the team, please do not push, it is ready when it is ready.

Jack Shepherd

Tex, 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.

Elipses...

Ethics. Pride in workmanship. Accountability. Rare attributes nowadays. Thank you all.

Jimitheskin

As a wise man once said: "You can't rush art"

Shockwave_S08

Dude. Just looking forward to seeing it once you’ve got it to what you want! Your and your team’s health comes first.

Christopher Martens

Their GPU is gonna melt and fit into your soup can by the time it’s done.

MrToBeNamedLater

Tex, 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.

Big Nick Rethemeyer

Hey 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.

Matthew H

Hey Pal, came across this. Feel it may well be of interest to you.. https://forum.game-labs.net/topic/40928-naval-arms-race-mod-overhaul-beta-26-major-powers-update/ (If there has to be a question, then fine... Why has modern western military equipment become so expensive?)

Oli B

Wait 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.

Jon Guilt

Take all the time you need

Eric The Viking

They don't call it Render Hell for nothing.

They Call Me Soup Can

It will take as long as it takes.

Malorian

We will hold the line Tex "Steady nerves and stout hearts are needed now"

russell marsh

It takes as long as you need. You don’t need to apologize

Timber Weed of Clan Tumble Wolf

It takes as long as it takes. Please tell your ENTIRE team, good job.

Steve Tamer

"I will not see this rushed out to meet an arbitrary deadline." Good. Your reputation more than earns you whatever time you need.

Captain1nsaneo

Shit Tex, take as long as you need.

Roy Mason (Balevolt)

Quality is ALWAYS worth the wait. It will take as long as it takes, and that's fine.

Ethan Fisher

Seven to ten? Take twenty. It will take as long as it'll take. Best it be done well. Keep on keeping on.

Santo

Late to the party on this train. Thank you for having the strength to hold it back the until it's done right. I've worked for too many people who plowed through at the cost of quality. We're with you on this. Cheers on the premier 🍻

Doctor Brew

You guys are fine and your transparency Tex isn’t necessary but always appreciated Brother. Can’t wait and full trust man.

Jim Magee

I 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

Remember, this is your hobby. And an art form. It takes time, so take your time. Don't burn yourselves out.

Neonite

You 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

Hey, 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.

MarkRavingMad

It takes as long as it takes, no problem

Jeff Little

Art Takes time. So Take your time

The_Ant

Don't worry homie! You and your amazing team have got this and I don't care if it takes a million years! God bless you brother!

Timmeh!

Can'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

1. 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

Tex, 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

Yeah, 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.

Apathyman the Mundane

"All hat and no cowboy" With love Tex, that's f'ing silly. You are more cowboy than any hat could portray

Diobovinius

Tex, 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

All 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

As 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.

Brooks

Don't worry about it, like everyone else has said, stuff happens. Good and bad.

Allen Clair Bettis III

No biggie smalls. Shidd happens

OtherBrother

Hello Tex, Two things! One, I give a shit...., about your team's sanity and them taking pride in their work. Two, I don't give a shit about when it comes out. there are certain things in this life that are out our hands! Pistol6699!

Pistol6699

TEX... 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

Just 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

Tex, 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

It’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.

OhWolfy

My only criticism is that I can't figure out a way to send you whiskey...

Dennis McCarthy

Rest and work at a rational pace

Jack Shepherd

Sit down, have a drink, have another, take your time to stay calm and get it right with a clear, appropriately bourbon-fueled head. Just stay out of the cafeteria, pretty sure I saw the clown in the kitchen with a syringe earlier in the shift.

Zakarin Talvas

OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIVE YOU WOULD ASK- Ok, take your time.

The14th

No worries. I’ve been at the mercy of rushed projects delivered not fully ready. Take as much time as you need. You and your team are awesome.

James or 01010001

It 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

The 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

Did you just recommend locust labs when they are going on a month long vacation?

dogsoneup

The 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

anything 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

The fate of the world does not hinge on the release of the film. Take the time needed to do something you all will be proud of. I can wait.

Gorstavich

Meh, 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

Good 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.

Bolo Unit BRL of the Line

Erin you ain’t the only person who has made that comparison between Tex & Paul. A comparison that I also agree with. Slight tangent: fuck you, cancer.

MrToBeNamedLater

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead and MAKE SMONK!!! 💨💨💨💨💨 We are a patient Legion - take your time Tex!!

Ethan Majstorovic

I swear to God, Tex, you sound like Paul Harrell when he apologized for dying of cancer. You have never failed to deliver a quality product, so I have faith in you and your team. The video is ready when it's ready, and I am content to wait until then.

Erin Palette

I've got paint and projects and I'm not out of projects. *looks at recently delivered Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter*. Plenty to do while waiting for another BPL masterpiece. I'm wishing the best to you and the teams working on this project. I know it's going to be glorious!

Scott Hamilton

Brother, take a month if you must. No pressure, we're here out of love not out of an unreasonable expectation of FULL THROTTLE ALWAYS. Please. Take care.

PartVI

LONG LIVE THE LEGION!

mancer0

I have no doubt in my mind that this will be well worth the wait. Which I will do so patiently

Kraigen44

Tex, honestly you are good. You have always engaged in good faith and you are engaging in good faith now. We will wait, you rest. 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.

Sea Wolf

Take all the time needed Tex, you guys put out top tier shit, we know it will be worth the wait. HAIL CARGONIA!

Zak kasischke

Randolph Percival Checkers Esquire, you and your team know that you're cooking something brilliant here - and like anything that cooks, you understand that it takes time. It'll be done when it's done, and not before - don't stress. I intend to be a patient, good boy and wait, so I can watch it with my buddies.

Rhys Lawson

Hell I've waited for the VA longer and I don't even like it. The effort y'all put into these is outstanding and waiting is the least I could do.

Warboss Beergutz

Quality is always worth the wait.

James Buchanan

Mr Tex you better take vacation after all of this work you have to pinky promise all of us that you will at least take a week if not two off and focus on doing some fun pleasant things I'm sure you have a few gun projects you'd like to finish or just work on. That's all from me keep the faith and be well noble mechwarrior.

Commissar Eisenhart

Don't apologise. It's ready when it's ready

Arron Scholz

Mr. Tex, I can say that the likes of Terry Gilliam and Stanley Cubric would have saluted your words today. Great work takes time. You all have my thanks. o7

Drift Pirate

Keep on going you som britches!!!

Boogums

Eh, it gets here when it gets here. It will be awesome and we will enjoy it when you release it. Do it right, not fast.

Paul Chappell

I'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.

Overkill102

By all means, take your time.

Kasperl Stormcrow

We 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

Patients is a virtue that we the audience can apply. When the movie is ready it is ready. I personally will be waiting with anticipation.

Jeryn Prewett

Tex, You are all awesome! The trailer rocks! Take the time you need. No judgements here, nothing but love and appreciation!

B-Mang

Hey, 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

Hello 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

take all the time you need...rather it come out when its ready then get it early but have it be terrible because your rushing

Xander Draft

Señor Tex. If need screm... screm.

Korehammer

We are patient. Quality is what matters. That 10 day window on the render tells me that this will be…. Epic.

Elijah Snow

Better 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

All 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

Tex, 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

So 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

As 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

Tex, 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

Kyle Quigley

Best laid plans. Great art is ready when it is ready. We’ll wait. Go get some sleep.

Jellicoe Cats

WAIT! Tex is FINALLY taking a few days for himself? Thank GOD! The man deserves it.

Geeko170

Take all the time you need my man. I know I'm kinda new and quiet in this conclave but I know you guys'll knock it out.

Commisar Sandwicho

Make haste, make waste. Take the time you need, and know that we appreciate your Great Work.

Kyzrath Allin

You always exceed expectations. If you need time, take it. Breath, and keep your center.

Saf Wafer

Tex, I can hear the stress in your voice and I feel the need to reassure you. I hope I can speak for the majority when I say the following: We can wait. So, with that said, sit back, relax, and know that we will all enjoy the show when it comes out.

G Jacobs

take as long as you need

Raziel

Take all the time you need, we have full faith in you

Sundancer

Good 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

It’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

Gotta 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.

Michael Fortner

It will take as long as it takes. Don't worry about us, this just gives us time to get more popcorn.

Jake Lastname

Godspeed, Tex and team. I think we all appreciate the absolute refusal to settle for less. Don't let the fuckers drag ya down.

Michael Kubilius

With you till the end boss. *Shoots finger guns*

joedawg39s

Take another month release mw5 clans

Jacob Greer

It'll get here when it gets here

Joe Plummer

More time cooking just means a tastier meal.

Adam Koslin

Take your time

Tele Tanker

Oh 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.

Charlie Gilroy

Take the time you need. No questions asked. 🤝👍🫡

Doug

I implore that the film premiere be mad as the most OUTLANDISH, fun fest of crazy best foods ever! MAKE IT WORTH IT! Cheers!

Walt_Man

Well, 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

Take all the time you need Tex, we trust you to do what is best for both the production and you/the team.

CPTMAUGHAN

All 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

We will wait as long as it takes, please don't feel any pressure. You don't owe us a damn thing so take all the time you need brother!

Jared Blando

This standard mech armor just isn’t doing that much for gnawing on as we continue to (im)patiently wait. Got any Ferro-fibrous? Clanner if possible, Defiance if not.

MrToBeNamedLater

Amen, brother.

MrToBeNamedLater

I 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.

MrToBeNamedLater

Quality takes time. Please don't rush on our behalf.

Marten Ludens

You did not. You said exactly what we all were thinking.

MrToBeNamedLater

Good Luck. We're all pulling for you.

Robert Steffen

we are here, we are still hyped, we are legion

Opie74

You can't rush art. Take all the time you and your Team need Tex 🫡

Nerd_Power

Your process is as much an art as the movies themselves. You know yourself and your team. You understand your work and standards. I'm just a monkey along for the ride, and happy to.

Big Mac

Take as much time as necessary Mr Tex. Your work has always been worth it.

Bryan Kollmorgen

You 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

Hearing 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. Please take the time required to deliver your vision and standard of good and we will support and watch as always. benedicat et custodiat te

DeckerBilliam

.26 seconds in and I don’t care the problem. You and the team take the time you need. We understand

DeckerBilliam

Always worth the wait. We’ll be here when it’s ready.

SRTifiable

*waits patiently*

Eric Brooks

Hey no rush. Done right is much better than done right now. I've got faith it will be good. Don't overdo it.

psycophantic

No issues with waiting. Carry on.

Intrepid_169

Just 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).

Andy the Grunt

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Jacob Kurzer

Tex, 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! 🥳🤘🏻🖖🏻

Sons of Lorgar

Stress less Daddy-o of all the corners of the internet this is the one where you are safe. Hell may freeze over but we will still wait patiently for it to be ready before we try to force out something your not happy with. No one's joking tex you need to brake before you break.

Nasticator

no need to worry - take all the time you need, we will giddily wait for the finish line you all more than deserve taking the time to rest and for making sure not to burn yourselves out as much as we are looking forward to this - we care more about you and the team we stand behind yall and will support you all the way

Sharien Radaik

Nothing to do other than let it cook.

Urishima

I don’t think anyone here expected anything but the film releasing when it was ready, and not on some arbitrary date. It’s done when it’s done and we can wait until then. Y’all just keep doing what you do.

swiftdraw

No Worries Tex. Take your time. Quality is always worth the wait.

davezero

The 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

It 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.

Reid Palmer + Shawna Wells

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

SWISH

All good my dears, we'll be there when it's ready and celebrate with you when it happens. <3

Ginger_Bitters

Take your time Tex. It will be finished when it is finished.

Tarnc

It's better to be a little late and complete than on time and unfinished. Take your time Tex!

Net Zen

Something, 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

Ironically 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

Take your time, and don't burn yourselves out, you deserve all the support we give you and so much more

David Zadro

I both can't wait, but I also want to see what a few more days or weeks bring. I'm all for the latter one. I love the content and always look forward to the next big thing.

WinglessRayven

No 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

Don'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

No worries. Another week to make sure a year-long effort gets properly rendered is just fine.

Chase Hamilton

Seven 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

No 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

Don'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!

Grimos

Tex, you and your Team are very much appreciated, and we will wait as long as needed. Take care.

Sgt CRAB

It’s always worth the wait. Don’t worry about a few whiny Capellans.

GillyMonster

Tex. I mean this with sincerity and conviction. We love what you do and the passion you do it with. We are here for the shitposts and the autism in equal measures. 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.

Lord Drego

No apology needed Tex, we're here for the long haul!

Jalatron

Comstar's interdictions will be tolerated no more! The peaceful van zandt state has done nothing to warrant this unlawful disruption of communication. We stand with van zandt!

Ryan Foster

As Grandpa always said: Plan. Do it once, do it right. We believe in you and your team, Tex.

Steve Constant, 'Splash Mountain'

Never 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

Tex, 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

It 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!

Laird Stanard

Quality takes time. Developing skills takes time. Collaboration takes time. It'll be ready when it's ready.

BZArcher (Blind Zen Archer)

No problem. I'm happy to wait for quality work.

Nighttrain5000

My brother in Blake, take all the time you need. Do you rush a jeweler when they're cutting diamonds? No! Why would we rush the Michelangelo of Battletech?

ThatEvilOne

Im in here for the long haul. Have been since before this whole TTB thing, and im not leaving any time soon. Take the time you need, i'll wait patiently.

that guy named dan

No need to apologize Tex. We all know how hard you and the team are working.

Road-Kill21

No worries, Tex, it happens. I shall use this opportunity to refresh the beer & snack stash for the premiere.

Sgt Potshot

Any 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.

Chris Casper

As Mr. Gump said, "Shit happens." The legion stands with you.

NerdyVision

I have the highest respect for you Tex, and the BPL for the amazing content you have all made, and shared with us. I won't stop supporting, we have come this far. 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

Solar Aura

*sigh* ill get the paddle (just kidding take your time buddy)

Isimiel

It's done when it's done and it's ready when it's ready. We can wait.

Drendar Morevo

Nah, dude! Thank you! We couldn't support you if you weren't putting yourself out there like this.

Erkuleez

No apologies needed as far as I can see. Render hell is a thing, it's done when it's done.

Face Into Keyboard

Dude, were good.

Yawg

Dude, were good.

Yawg

Aight. Just post more boats. Remember Exporto.

Iop-Aster

You don't need to apologize. You are very transparent with your progress and give regular updates. I can't wish for more, and i'm always happy to wait another month even if it means i get a good end result, which i'm sure you'll deliver

Panzerfan

My 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

freedeau

No worries!

Costco Hotdog with Relish

Not going to lie, I thought something very tragic happened, like the render pc caught fire and died. 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

The Mailman

We get it man, final editing and rendering is the bane if any production. We'll be patient. And take the time off afterwards, dammit. Or We'll hire the large, angry assistant we've been threatening you with for tears.

Treize

As 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.

Skyire

Considering the effort put into this video, I would be happy to wait another week, month or year if you needed it.

Jack Middleton

Tex. 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

Dude 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.

94razorz_

We’re not going anywhere. Be easy on yourself

Magic Kebabs

Since I first introduced myself as your standard-issue recreational attack-sheep I did so then and still do now support this endeavor under the understanding that, "It'll be ready when it's ready." Keep on keepin' on Tex.

Molly McAllister

There'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

To 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.

Dayhiker42

Ok so maybe I went a little overboard there

Jason Carter

I will not take my money elsewhere. This project will be done when it's done. Tex, you (and the BPL crew) are an invaluable part of the Battletech community. Thank you. And take a goddamn break when this is done!

Khadgarion

Meanwhile, I got my box from the Battletech Kickstarter. I pledged what I calculated at the time to be the absolute MINIMUM to start Warhammer 40k. I have so many feckin' models to paint...

Mike Hendon

Paul Harrell apologizes for dying, Tex apologizes for being late. This is how you can tell somebody is a class act. Please Mr Tex, sir, continue to render, we have a capacity for patience, keep polishing, we can wait.

Nonkel Bob

I can only speak for myself but i say let the team work, i have trusted you so far with my time, my money, and my hopes, you haven't failed me yet. Nay i say you have ALWAYS EXCEED expectations. We can wait! Do what you need to. This Will Be Glorious! Brothers, Sisters, and Everyone in between let us praise the machine spirit and sooth the wrath of all mighty you tube and it oppressive "algorithm" for we shall make them panic when the premiere is unleashed!

Jason Carter

Do what you’ve got to do. Your stuff is always great and well worth the wait.

Slappy McSpankBottom

You have nothing to apologize for. We are here because of the legion and it commitment to quality. It’s exactly like you said, it’s about the end product. We don’t come to you for disposable. That means you and your team have value, and you are not disposable either. If this requires time and that extra polish, that’s what it will get.

Raikor

No need to apologize. I know the production team will put out something amazing only when it's ready.

Dopeskone

It will be done when its done.. take the time you need to make it sing.

Gera5915

Creative burnout is real. Deadlines are arbitrary and capricious. Real art is well worth the wait.

Tory II-C

take all the time that’s necessary for your satisfaction with your work to be sure that it’s as good as you feel that you and your team can make it. The anticipation is honestly part of the excitement.

Rebel Rebel

Good and fast are rarely used in a true statement, so do what it takes to do good. Take care, so end'eth the lesson..

Tempest Crow

No need to apologize, we know you've got the best intentions with what you're doing and have amazing folks you work with. Stoked to see it when it comes out.

Travis Reilly

Professor Tex: whatever the team needs it gets. Keep making the glorious films you make. My investment is firmly in place. Keep on keeping Van Zandt free.

Fabricator Locum

I feel that it’s sad you feel the need to apologize for delivering a quality product. Also a great commentary on our current day.

Rebel Rebel

So 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.

Jay McIntyre

I'm confident that you could ask for 6 months and the overwhelming reaction would be "Of course! No worries!"

Ryan Felsen

I cannot wait, hope to catch this live. Thank you and your team for such amazing videos.

Luminaire

It will take the time it takes, man. Don’t destroy yourselves for it. I’m in this for a long time, not just a quick smile.

Woten's Curse

Tex, 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!

The armory lord!

Awh 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.

MrToBeNamedLater

BPL fandom is pretty faithful and patient. If anyone is upset or complaining, they don’t know the BPL team. Y’all take the time you need. For you as well, all of you, not just the project.

Milky Pirate

I cannot wait to watch this alongside everyone else. You and your crew have done fantastic pieces of art Tex. May you enjoy this with us all and celebrate the memories we have had, from those of joy and those of sorrow.

Fireonfriendly

So is it getting uploaded to YouTube now? No pressure, just trying to plan for it
