Consultation Period

Hey everyone,

If you're in the consultation tier and looking to communicate, I'll be looking to discuss with you this week. This weekend ran a little late to get the info out, but if you've got a project and haven't DM'd me, do send a message or raise your hand in the #consultations channel.
I'll be coming around at first availability and look forward to speaking with you.

Consultation Pre-Weekend

Hey everyone,

I'm taking care of some video needs this weekend and other sitdowns, but for all of those in the consultation tier and above who have projects or talks to continue, consider this a pre-weekend; taking time to sit with your work if you've got the creative mood and see what you're building up and reviewing what you've got is the idea. I'd like to dedicate another weekend or time this month to a clearer sitting down to see everyone.

For those unfamiliar with process: w...

Lakeside Ambient - Nature Sounds and 4K Video

The Oakburn Opus video, if you've seen it, has lake footage recorded specifically for the journey. I understood it's great for anyone to enjoy on its own, and wanted to share it with Patreon supporters and YouTube members. It is just ambient, so it's open to all tiers.

Enjoy! 8w8

Oh, October!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to October, the most wonderful time of the year! It's the first weekend, the Oakburn Opus video is out, and I'd like to open the consultations tier members and over to message me over the weekend to discuss projects!

At this exact moment, I'm rendering a special treat as a members-only video, just a nice thing I realized I'm able to do as I think of how to build the first true members-only video. I'm waiting to hear word on things in the Vi...

Autumn Equinox Update

Hello all,

A joyful and beneficial autumnal equinox to all of you. It's one of the easiest times of the year to enjoy a new air and all that comes with it, and I'm grateful to see you've joined me in the season.

I'm currently working on a video for Oakburn Opus that I'm driven to create and enjoying the process; you'll see that video out by end of month.

To all those who are new and looking forward to exclusive videos, thank you again and I'd like to inform you that I'm cal...

Pendog Creative Library - Tour 2

Hey everyone,

I've been deep in the workflow for many things this month, and in the office for Pendog Creative Library's second tour, I've done a lot of the work offstream to gain a bit more focus time in-between everything calling to my attention.

It's such a large undertaking, this video, and I've got to do it right. My attention's been on matters weaving in and out that... well, if you knew, you'd be deeply excited. ::3

I can't say much yet, but I did just want to wave a...

Consultations Weekend & Darkroom Time

Hello!

Consultations tier members, the weekend is now on. If we're not in discussion, reach out to me; if we are, reach out to me. 8w8 (Check to see if your patron tier is for consultations or above first, though!)

Seriously, even if you sent a message a few days ago, do it again, it's going to be much easier to see all your icons pop up in Discord and know that's the queue.

I'm going to be answering throughout the weekend, in the mix of other things, and it may go into Mon...

June Last Weekend - Consultations & Darkroom

Hey everyone!

Now that things are clearing up much more, I can see the last weekend of June will be most correct for Consultations and a Darkroom (Discord hangout).

I'm going to let you know as we get closer which day will be the actual day (and time) for Darkroom, but I'm thinking Saturday the 28th? Feels right.

As for Consultations, you know the drill--message me with updates, questions, or a nudge if we're already in talks on Friday. If we haven't begun (or if you're new...

NM Patreon Items & Index

Hey everyone!

It's an interesting time right now, going with the flow of the workload and living in a balance; the current trajectory of work is great for equilibrium, and I'm in a vibe of knowing we can attend to some Patreon community matters this month!

Let's see about a Darkroom (Discord Hangout) mid-month. I want to say "this weekend," but I'll be supporting the Slender 4 Gender charity stream on Saturday as a prominent activity point and Sunday is a good mo...

Over the Main Mass

Hey everyone!

This April has been... historic.

I've done a lot this month in avenues in Night Mind, in streaming, and in spots you can't see (yet) while giving life its due to be in balance with all this.

All culminating with the biggest, fattest Giggleland video I didn't anticipate requiring before the main game drops, like wow. I'm talking over an hour and a half long and I still need to finish the actual script because it necessitates THAT level of talki...

March! Let's talk Consultations, Darkroom

Allllrighty!

It's been a month that's a bit off-kilter preparing for the new fullbody March Hare debut, enjoying streaming more, and a few things I can't discuss (that are deeply good).

Let's talk consultation weekend: you want a consultation weekend? Let's have a consultation weekend, this upcoming weekend, March 28th-30th.

Most of you know how it goes, but if you don't: hit me up in DMs on Discord to begin/continue discussing your project for workshopping...

Unyielding - 2025

Hello, everyone!

Within four weeks, I've uploaded three full Night Mind main explorations, and got a NM Live bonus VOD in there, too.

The NM main priority balance is shifted at last to its health... and even if streaming must be catered directly to its support, that's the way it's gonna stay.

Oh, yes--we are so back, my beloved Patreon office visitors.

Moon has just composed the first draft of a foundation script for one video schedule...

December's Work

Hey everyone,

This December didn't turn out anything as anticipated, and I'm still working on the video for it. It's big, I'm just trying to get it done to be out in December at this point.

I want to do everything I discussed: a weekend for consultation, Darkroom, just general fulfillments.

I'm doing everything I can right now.

Thank you for being here, so very much

December Update!

Last month of the year, and it's still busy--at least until Christmas.

Hello to the new patrons, those returning, and gratitude to all who continuing supporters! Right now, I'm working on the final NM video of the year, which is a longer piece quite a few people have asked me about coverage for and a well-known name.

Streaming has taken a bit of backseat (by circumstance) as I get this video done amidst a generally busy time. I do want two things right now concerning all of you ...

WOO! October! Darkroom, Consultations, and why it's been so quiet

The Monster Hunt 6 video is out, SCP Vault is in video completion, Candy Bowl entries are finishing up this weekend, and Devil's Night is on track.

October isn't at stress point anymore. ::3

And now, with everything actually, finally manageable, let's breathe a moment and take inventory here.

October! Patreon Stream & Beyond

Hello and Happy October!

In relation to the previous post about a Patreon-selected topic for a night on stream, I would ordinarily put it to a poll, but we only have two repeated names, both projects appearing short enough to visit in one stream: Tertiary Labs Research Institute and DEANFacts. So, that's what we'll do!

I'll schedule out a night for it and make notice in the Patreon server. And once I've got a grasp on everything going on right now since I've only just gotten home...

What a Month

September is done... and that was a big month:

+ Finished the Field Studies Institute video

+ Streamed like I meant it

+ 5 VOD edits uploaded to NM Live

+ Resumption of NM Index publishing

+ October work begun

Thanks for being here and supporting (and being patient) everyone, I deeply appreciate it!

In the midst of all the activity, I did miss a call to ask for a Patreon-chosen streaming topic, so we're going to fix that starting right ...

August Burns Red, Yup

There's a band whose name I've known of for years--August Burns Red--and I think about them damn near every August.

Because yeah, this month beats people up. I saw a tweet going to bed last night that racked up numbers: "The last days of August are a test from God."

This month has been so great and such a horrible beatdown at the same time. The most important next phase of work and life things are all happening, NM is evolving into a much happier, stronger, more productive form o...

Hey everyone,

A big thanks to all of you who are new supporters, welcome on in, and thanks to all of you who have been and still are supporters! It's been a deeply busy time lately getting things set up for the proper run of streaming, but debut was fantastic and we're having a solid time exploring new projects and showing unfiction to new audiences and vtubers who've never seen it (and their audiences!)

I'm currently scripting for the next video with anticipation of the next top...

Patreon Night for Stream - Choose the winner!

(Why won't it let me make this a poll? Ah, well, the comments will get the job done.)

My dear Patreon supporters, you've presented two strongly favored options for a streaming night of your choice: Zeemyth and In the Static of My Daymares.

I'm interested in both of these, but somebody needs to go on deck first with just you and me hitting it. So, between these two, who would you like to watch in the NM office this Saturday night?

Hey everyone,

Just an update: the second video for this month is underway and I'm excited to roll it out! This will be a lot more on the scary/freaky side than Mr. Samuel's Teatime was, and a name a lot of you may recognize (but there's always new people to bring to a project)!

Whew, what a month

Hey everyone!


It's been a busy month, very much so on the streaming front--and I do want to bring that up quick to give a rundown about what's happening there and the balance between streams and NM uploads.

So... first thing to address is that streaming is meant to do exactly four things:

1. Replace sponsorship revenue on NM, thereby eliminating sponsors and making main videos a much more enjoyable experience for everyone through a viable option that's happier for eve...

March Update

Hey everyone!

So, you've probably seen that I've launched my March Hare form for Cabin Fever Dreams season over on Twitch, and getting work done towards that end was taking up a good part of the month. I also needed to take time to help Graphi (my beloved) with some things for his debut on April 1st.

This week, I'm taking care of the YouTube upload for the Welcome Home update. If you haven't seen the stream done for that, the VOD is available here: 2024-03-26 03:41:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Audio Lock

The Shipwrecked video is now narration complete, with well over forty minutes fully cleaned and ready for the video editor. I've also advanced my workflow with review of options in the audio editor to make things a lot more efficient, and it means faster workflows from here on out.  I'm in the peak working hours, now. Gonna keep you all posted.
