For those Interested...
Added 2020-02-28 00:16:28 +0000 UTCFor those Interested: Mike and Tex sat down and figured out how long one of these longer episodes takes to make as close as we can reckon.
Per Episode:
160-200 Hours of Research and Initial Draft Writing ( Tex doesn't just Copy-Paste wikis. He goes to the source material)
120-160 Hours of Second to final Draft
80 Hours - Artwork Sourcing (Difficult with more obscure subjects)
10-20 Hours VoiceOver Work
5-10 Hours Audio Engineering
240-320 Hours Editing/Timelines
24-48 Hours of Making insane commercials
5-10 Hours Music Sourcing/Scoring
10-20 Hours final passes
8 Hours Render time
8-12 Hours Youtube "Render time" so it doesn't end up in 480p
715 - 888 Hours to make an episode.
There are, on average, 720-744 Hours a month.
Tex has a day job.
Mike has several gig jobs.
And yet, within the next 72 hours we may have a new one for you.
Comments
Tex: "We actually put in enormous effort to make these and quality can not and will not be compromised." Also Tex: "You should not throw money into a fire like this.....that could be a cheeseburger for you don't throw it at me...." I just wish I had a few more cheeseburgers to spare......and that our economy actually ran on cheeseburgers as currency but that is another thing altogether.

2020-02-29 04:40:31 +0000 UTCthe quality of the work shows, you guys put out some amazing stuff.
2020-02-28 17:02:05 +0000 UTCAnd yet you ask for nothing in return when you and your friends provide us with hours and hours of high quality and fiesta pail quality somewhat interactive entertainment every few weeks. For my own concience, I can't let that effort and dedication go unrewarded, if only by the worth of a corndog a month.

2020-02-28 07:09:07 +0000 UTCAnd this is why we continue to donate, even though you tell us not to...repeatedly.

2020-02-28 05:04:56 +0000 UTCTake your time, we can wait.
2020-02-28 02:59:25 +0000 UTCTex is king, why do you even have to explain yourself as to how long it takes you to make an episode? Whatever time it takes does not matter. What matters is that you do a GREAT job, we have entertainment, and now we know that don't pay you enough!
2020-02-28 01:51:44 +0000 UTCThis tells me we don't pay you enough.

2020-02-28 00:47:40 +0000 UTCWhich is why I don't complain or whinge. I know quality takes time and there are hardworking people on the job. It will be ready when it's ready and I am happy to wait.
