October Snail - The Good, the Bad, and Ugly truth of working on a 2 Person Team

Hello Lovelies,

Today I'm here to do my monthly update on ongoing projects for the Snifferish Channel!

Let's start with the good stuff.

• MM Episode 3 is in Production, The screenshot provided above is a build I've been hard at work on for the past three months for some interesting cut scenes... It's definitely taking a turn in terms of what I had originally intended for the series, but fret not, it is at it's core still a Let's Play.

• "Project FERN" Releases this month. Guess I might as well start talking about it then huh? Project Fern as I've been calling it is a re-imagining of my first video, I Spent 100 Days as a FARMER in Minecraft! But it's also so much more than that. Featuring a fully acted supporting cast, as well as a challenge and a plotline to drive the video. I've been putting so much effort into making this as visually appealing, lighthearted, and cozy as possible. I imagine this video will be over an hour, which has me nervous about getting it done in three weeks. However Bones and I are really feeling as if we are getting into a flow, and growing faster and faster with our production.

• RatsSMP STARTS THIS MONTH LET'S GOOOO! Two years ago in my streaming days, I streamed on an SMP called RatsSMP which was a pretty big hit for me, and was the most enjoyable smp I've played on to this day. They are bringing it back with new characters, and a new location. I'll be livestreaming it! As well as filming content offline, and these will be edited and posted to my youtube. This will be the first live-reaction content you will see on the Snifferish channel.

• I'm making a movie. Yeah.... Soo.... Kinda just slotting this in here to see if anyone notices ahahah. Many of you will not know this, but when I originally started the Snifferish Channel back in 2017 when I was 14 years old, it was originally a Cinematic Roleplay channel. I filmed everything on a crumby laptop, my friends would come over and we'd host LAN parties to body act, it was a wildly different time in my content creation journey. I ended up leaving, establishing myself as a builder instead and then returning last year. However, I've always seen Minecraft not as a game, but a medium for creativity. For the past year I've been experimenting with cinematics, roleplay elements, and animation in my videos. All of this was to test and practice my skills for something I've wanted to do since I was child. The project currently has no cool nickname ahaha, but the production timeline is already being fleshed out. This is not something I will be doing alone, and I intend to regularly post updates here when we reach filming around Q2 next year.

• Upcoming Break, December 2024. A small heads up, that in December 2024 I will likely be taking a break from content creation, or at least as much a break as I can. This is merely just for my own mental health, and creativity, and to spend time with my friends and family. As such, I will pause billing for the month. I just want to give a heads up. However, I will also say content creation is my biggest passion, and I might struggle to take a break so I guess we shall see.

  Alrighty, now the bad stuff.

• Simply put, with so much going on. MM Episode 3 is likely being delayed. It's unfortunate, and I'm honestly scared to announce it due to the backlash I got for spending so much time on Episode 2. The ultimate truth of it is, Mastering Magic was never supposed to be the crux of my channel, rather a survival series I could fall back to in between one off creative projects. It's still absolutely happening, and I'm going to make it good, and I'm going to make it well. However, I just don't want to get caught up on a single project.
  
  Bones and I are the only people that work on the Snifferish Channel at the moment, and we do not have the funds to hire extra help for everything though we are trying... I still am dedicating a large portion of time to sponsors on my other platforms as this is how we sustain ourselves. I am even in the process of potentially getting another job at the moment. All we ask is that people are kind, and remember that at the end of the day, we are two silly people making free minecraft content online.
