Progress Update: 2/19/21
Added 2021-02-19 22:48:59 +0000 UTCHello everyone, it's been a while! I apologize for how long this video is taking; I initially intended for this video to be a half-hour jaunt, but this is quickly expanding into something that will likely be well over an hour, possibly over an hour and a half. The Deep Blue script was approximately 20,000 words, this new script is already at about 5,000, and I'm well shy of the halfway point.
However, my team and I are experimenting with a method of content production that will allow the video to be produced much faster: due to the nature of this script, I'm able to record preliminary narration and send it to Ryan, who can then start scoring it. What's more, most of Arcaxon's graphic design is already completed, and now, only simple animations will need to be applied to these assets, greatly streamlining the process.
My focus is fortunately coming back, and I intend on pacing myself better so that I don't burn out the way I have after every video. I allowed four and a half years of burnout to catch up with me, and while this feverish pace allowed me to reach this point, this simply isn't sustainable anymore, nor will it allow me to create the quality of video that I want. With regular weekends and days that accommodate rest periods, I should hopefully be able to create videos faster and of higher quality than I've been able to achieve before. Thank you all for being patient with me. I expect that this new video will be ready within the next month, but given the scale that it's grown to, it may need a bit longer.

You put an incredible amount of time and effort into your videos, be careful not to overwork yourself, I'm sure the amount of time you've put in will all show through in terms of quality. If anyone ever were to make a video about me, I'd want it to be someone like you.
