2022-09-17 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, hope all is well.
We have been debating the idea of releasing certain anthology shorts that are more than a year old to the general public on YouTube, as we think this would be a serious marketing boon to help drum up support and interest for The Sojourn and demonstrate its format.
However, we're quite aware this could be seen as unfair to you Patrons who have pledged at Wanderer-tier or higher to access those shorts exclusively.
We wanted to reach out to...

Larissa here, Associate Producer for The Sojourn!
Today, in a fugue state of hyper-productivity, I finally put the ‘final touches’ on the spreadsheet the Sojourn production team uses for tracking actor recording sessions (final for now, knowing that I’ll probably make more changes in the future). This spreadsheet helps us know exactly which scenes have which characters, which recording dates are scheduled, and which scenes we’ve fully recorded so we can plan ...

Hello Patrons!
As I suspect a few of you may have already realized, one of the major influences for ship design and space combat in The Sojourn is the deeply underappreciated 2004 PC game 'Nexus The Jupiter Incident'.

The original idea for the Tantalus Cluster came to me long before the collection of ideas now called The Sojourn ever actually had that name. It was a thought I'd had whilst looking at an image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of NGC-1300, a barred-spiral galaxy about 64,000,000 LY away from our own.
I was looking at some of the tiny flecks of light beyond the trailing e...

Hello Patrons!
From it's conception, The Sojourn has always been intended to serve two purposes: To get science fiction fans excited about voice actors and the incredible work they do, and to apply my own love for the romanticism of nautical history and the Age of Sail as the basis of a science fiction setting.
