Work & Status Update (December 2022)

Hey everybody, time for an epic gamer update with me, BGE. Lucky you!

You may have seen the new video released today, the Two Piece Interview Series, the interview component to its companion video, The Two Piece Conspiracy. With that, this little chapter of BGE history is complete and it's time to move onto other things. And for those wondering, yes, we will be taking a break from One Piece-related content on the main channel for the next while. 

I have a few updates about what's coming next and how the channel will be operating going forward, so lets jump into them. First of all, I will be taking a short break on my BGE work during this next month, December. I have some other business I have to attend to and I'll need the extra time to catch up on it. As such, I will be suspending the patreon charges for the next month. In short: I wont be releasing any BGE videos in December, and you won't be charged for anything. The one show I will still be doing in December (when I'm not unnavailable due to the holidays) is TALKING PIRATES, since One Piece chapters will still be releasing and it doesn't take too much time to do (other streams are cancelled, however). I do still hope to get some work done on BGE-related stuff in that time, planning for future videos and whatnot, but even if I put in some serious hours I'll consider it paying you guys back a bit for the slow releases recently, which brings me to my next point. 

I've updated the BGE Support Pitch document which clarifies the fuction and goals of this patreon to remove the goal of 1 video per month it previously had. It now has no specific timeline of when videos will come out, including the BGE Monthlycast show (for which I have a loose goal to release an episode between each major BGE release). Practically speaking nothing is changing on my end, I would still love to hit my original goal if possible, but given the reality of my slow releases lately, it feels wrong to have a goal I have not consistently hit and I would rather make the loose schedule clear. However, this in no way means I'm stopping video work in general, I'll be coming back and hitting the ground running in 2023 with some projects that have been in the works for a long time, so stick around. If that overall goal ever changes and I no longer intend to make videos or the like, naturally, I'll let you know. 

Those are the main points, but to tie up one other loose end, you might have to wait until after December for the next BGEMC. I've been preparing plenty of material for that sucker so it should be a hoot when it finally returns. If I finish up my other work before the end of the month I may get to it sooner, but in any case that show will return again soon, have no fear. 

And that will do it for this update. Let's keep it short and sweet and say thanks as always for your support, SoRrY i HaVeN't MaDe A vIdEo In A wHile, and I hope you and yours are all well. Merry Christmas gamers. Will check in again with you soon. 

Cheers,
