Milestone Update
Added 2016-01-11 15:07:16 +0000 UTCWe had to change some of our milestones today. Previously we had the history video series at the 15K milestone. But this was a mistake. We have finished scripts for almost 20 minutes of animation. Problem is: They suck. Making history interesting in a way that fits our style is proving to be more of a challenge than we thought. We need to invest way more time to figure out how we can make this work, so we moved it up the tier. As next project on a slightly smaller scale we have the Immune system book and App. Both things that are requested almost daily nowadays.
As soon as there is an update on the history thing we’ll let you guys know it first!

You guys are amazing! An Immune System Book would be a massive hit and an app would be awesome! If you want another daily request... I'll be happy to ask again! :) By the way, your Addiction Website is fabulous and your new updated Kurzgesagt Website is even better! Very well done, thank you for making great videos on YouTube (and amazing websites... even soon to be books and apps)!

2016-01-31 07:44:29 +0000 UTCIs there a way to get all previous wallpapers? That's kind of the reason I pledged and if the only available wallpapers are the ones in the "packs" that is disappointing ..

2016-01-31 00:53:13 +0000 UTCMaking history work in video is hard. I've learned a lot producing my video essays, and like Russell says part of it is drawing out the personal elements, but also doubling down on your storytelling. Viel glück!
2016-01-12 18:04:48 +0000 UTCSounds good. As an example, I'm really loving Extra Credits: History. I'm not saying that you should take their style (animation, music, whatever), but I'd draw on what they do and what works for them - going in-depth on the people, their motivations, etc. - giving a more personal feeling for history than just an account of events.

2016-01-12 00:26:47 +0000 UTCJust do what you feel is right. That's the best way to face bigger challenge next time.
2016-01-11 21:26:02 +0000 UTCI personally think that it's better to make a good video, than just push out videos for the sake of pushing out videos. Thanks for your effort :D
2016-01-11 18:20:17 +0000 UTCQuality over quantity. Thanks for trusting your instincts!

2016-01-11 16:58:24 +0000 UTCAs always I fully support your decision. I just hope that you don't set the standards to high for yourself. I can also imagine that condensing history into short interesting videos is very hard. Keep up the good work.
