Hello Patrons! Today we passed 100K subscribers on YouTube and I wanted to chat a little bit about what was next for Super Science Friends.
Most immediately, I wanted to mention that we've been doing weekly live streams every Friday at 11:00am EST on YouTube. If you haven't attended, you should come by and check it out. Not so you can listen to me ramble on, but rather to engage with the fans who are there!

This Friday I won't be there since I'll be at the Ottawa Animation Festival, however two of our writers Kevin and Caitlin will be wrapping up on the script for an episode featuring Lord Kelvin as the bad guy.
I am looking to brand these live streams a little bit better, so I'm open to any names people may have. The current name to beat is "Tales From The Clocktower".
Episode 6 is probably what everyone is most anxiously awaiting, and while it is taking a while, it's not without good reason. What is that reason? I can't tell you. And I don't think you would want it spoiled. So I can only ask that you bear with us. We are more than half of the way through animation however!
We're continuing to create lots of short episodes, which are helping to fill in the time between full episodes and also expand the universe a bit. Here's a list of short series that we are working on:
Yes, we're still working on the game! I recently played a demo of the Darwin level, and it's looking pretty great. I'm hoping to share more soon.
In the new year, we're going to be animating a short film based on Joel Van Dyk's Darwin comic from "Science Fiction" (our latest comic book). It will be in his style, and will be sent out to compete in film festivals around the world once it's complete.
Episode 7 has a mostly locked animatic/edit. We still need to record most of the voices, but the story is feeling right. We're going to start posing that episode in November, assuming episode 6 is close to wrapping up by then.
I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of stuff, but that's a pretty good sum up for now.
Talk to you soon!
