Production update 2020-03-23

Hello everyone!

These days, I feel very fortunate that YouTube is my full-time job. I saw my brother, my mother, and my girlfriend all go without work in the past week and it's not fun. I need to say that I am very thankful for my YouTube audience, but particularly to you guys for your extra support. It really means a lot to me.

Good news, though! I've been working well and been doing some decent progress. I believe I am now firmly past the halfway mark on part 1 of Wrong Warp explained! There are some things that are a tiny bit rough around the edges and it bothers me a little, but they're minor details. One alternate view doesn't sync up perfectly because I lost the input sequence I used for the original view, there are some places where I wish I removed the HUD from the screenshots/video, etc.

But, I'm going against my urge to correct all of these minute details that literally nobody gives a shit about, and actually put my efforts towards advancing the damn project. Right now, I'm in a meaty section of detailing the scene transition during a wrong warp step by step. You can see the unfinished screen that I'm working at as I type these words:

I'm at 8:30 of video done! I plan on hitting at least 9 minutes tonight, hopefully even 9:40. I still can't promise a release on Friday. It might be a little tight, but we'll see.

On the video release, I also want to try a different format. The video itself will not be a premiere on YouTube, but I will host a watch party on my Twitch channel for those who enjoy a live chat. Premieres are fun for the live chat, but the reception on YouTube is a bit so-so. I'm certainly not a fan of the fact that it's impossible to rewind or pause a premiere, and if you join late, you miss the beginning, so you have to wait until the end of the premiere to watch the video from the start.

Anyway, I will post here when I'm decided on a release date. Keep your eyes peeled!
