Fatal Frame II, the 50k Special, and Fata Morgana

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give you all an update on how things are going for the upcoming videos!

I had originally planned on releasing the 50k Special earlier this month, then the Fatal Frame II analysis on Halloween. Unfortunately, this month has been a whirlwind for me, and while the 50k Special is well on its way to completion, I couldn't complete it without severely compromising my ability to get the Fatal Frame II video out by October 31st. So instead I poured myself into working on the Fatal Frame II video, and will be focusing that hardcore in hopes of completing it in time. 

I'm also hoping to make a short addendum video, exclusive to Patreon supporters, about my thoughts on the Deep Crimson Butterfly remake on the Wii and why I kind of hate most of its creative decisions. So be on the lookout for that!

Once I release that, I'll finish the 50k Special (which you voted to be about the games that shaped my personal journey to understanding and appreciating video games as an art form) a few weeks later. I hate holding onto otherwise completed content just for the sake of spacing things out, so I'll release it to patrons as soon as it's done, regardless of how much longer it'll be before it goes public. 

I'll use the time that delayed release gives me to skim back through The House in Fata Morgana, as it's a dense work with a lot of small details and complex themes, and I want to do it justice with my video. I'm hoping to complete that video within a month or two, so it won't be too long a wait between the 50k Subscribers Special and the analysis of this cult classic visual novel. 

That's the long and short of it! After that, I hope to get back to work on the backlog of Patreon-sponsored reviews (it's been so long, I'm so so sorry), meaning Bioshock: Infinite, Red Alert II, and Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass should follow shortly afterward with few other analyses between them. 

In the meantime, I've been wanting to get better at making regular, Patron-exclusive insights into my thought processes as I make my content. Much of the point of Patreon, after all, is to offer a look behind the scenes of the creator you've decided to support. So there's another post, exclusive to supporting patrons, up now. It's about the ways my opinions on Fatal Frame II have evolved in the process of making this analysis, and how I came to appreciate it more deeply than I did before. It will be made publicly available after the Fatal Frame II video goes up, but for now patrons can enjoy this exclusive look into my thoughts on the game!

Thanks as always for your support, your patience, and your generosity. Until next time, class dismissed!
