April, Whats on its Way

March is Over and April is Finally here, New things are on the way and let's hope we can end April with a bang.

First things first VRChat & Stream.
As you can see from the Image above a new Avatar is almost upon us.
The new Design will be revealed hopefully soon with a Debut Stream Planned for the 12th, however, the date may change due to Creation delays... hopefully, I can get things together on time for the big reveal.

Twitch Updates.
For the first few days of April, I sadly had to call of stream due to my father getting Sick, Saying that he is now home and doing well... Thank you, everyone, for all the well wishes it meant a lot to both him and me, thank you all for your patience as well. I know I promised to stream more and I felt like I let you down, but real-life issues take priority sadly.

Moving forward however a new stream schedule is now in place based on the stream tests I ran towards the end of last month, The schedule will be:
Monday: 1pm - 7pm
Tuesday: 1pm - 6pm
Wednesday: 1pm - 6pm
Thursday: 1pm - 6pm
Friday: 1pm - 7pm
Saturday: Offline
Sunday: Offline
I may also take Wednesdays off depending on projects that I'm working on.

note: Earlier this month I had to redo my affiliate agreement as I found I was not getting the agreed amount per sub, This has since been fixed, but my twitch Paycheck was delayed by around 2 weeks putting me a little financially on edge.
I'm Fine now so don't worry <3

Projects:
There are currently 3 Long Term projects Left for me to complete before refocusing my offline time back over to Youtube and longer-form content.

First: New Avatar Design + Twitch Design Alterations:
As I stated above a new avatar OC is almost upon us, However, this will also mean some Design changes to Twitch and youtube.
Nothing too big, Just alerts & Panels for the most part... This should all be done by the 12th/14th of April.

Second: Merch Store:
As a few of you may have noticed on my Twitch channel the current merch store has been taken down for redesign... I am currently talking with a new merch distributor and working on a storefront that sadly can't be complete without the new Avatar being completed first.

Third: Body Pillow Design:
With both the new Avatar OC and Merch store under construction, the body pillow design has been put on hold... This is largely because I will need both the new OC Design completed and the store website up and running to move forward with it.
After both are completed this will be a background project I will be working on, however, after the merch store is up and running I will be pushing my weekend focus either over to Variety Streaming or youtube content production.
On top of all of this, I also plan on producing Body pillow designs based on seasonal varieties of the new OC with an in-game Avatar to match the events.

Youtube(s):
My video content will carry on as before till both the new Avatar and Merch store are up and running.

MzCatieB:
I will continue producing Youtube shorts/TikToks based on interesting/funny/out of context/ planned Clips from the stream... this has seen a massive rise for the channel in a while-which is amazing. We finally passed 500 with 600 closing in fairly fast now.
Small note: Youtube Shorts will not be made available for early access to Patreons this is because it takes a fair amount of planning and id like to produce one a day if possible.

MoreMzCatieB:
As before all Twitch VODS will be uploaded to this channel, Till I have more time to produce long-format content this will continue as before.

MzCatieCreates:
At present no content is planned for this channel, however, due to the Redesign of the Body pillow needing to happen, keep an eye out for a Speed paint of the process Coming out around when the body pillow drops on the new merch store.

Patreon:
I will be trying my hardest to produce exclusive content for you guys asap, however with all my projects on the table at the moment, forgive me if I fall behind a little.
The projects on the table at the moment are regarded as "Future investments" for me, so getting them out of the way and keep up with light maintenance means hopefully higher quality content from me sooner rather than later.

Discord:
Emote Changes:
New Emotes have been added and old emoted have been adjusted.
There are currently 14 New Emotes on the server, 7 for twitch subs and 7 for everyone to use... The old Sub Emotes have been renamed to "Classic" with the older emotes being named "Legacy"... this is to reflect their age and association users will likely have with them.

Server Boost:
Out of nowhere last month, the discord got a butt load of Server boosts bringing the server up to a Level 2 with Level 3 closing in slowly.
This means 2 amazing things.
1: The server now has a Banner (That will be getting updated with the new avatar asap)
2: 1080p 60fps Streaming... Meaning movie night will return on Saturdays After both the OC and Merch stores are completed (this is mostly due to free time on my side)

Channel Alterations:
I personally noticed a few channels that felt like duplicates both feeling half active... I have since removed/merged the channels to hopefully boost activity and it appears to be working.
NSFW Returned earlier this month with a MASSIVE explosion of lewdies posting fap material and art references... this is however a sub restricted section to hopefully add some layers of security without over complicating things... there are rules you need to follow however so don't go too crazy
