Hello everyone! First off, Happy New Year, and I hope 2023 will be an amazing year for you.
I just wanted to let you all know that since March 2021, we have been pausing or refunding any donations from you, the patrons. We really appreciate you wanting to help us, but it doesn't feel right receiving your money here! Our goal is to have this Patreon page's billing paused indefinitely, so that no patron here loses their money - they deserve to keep it themselves.
Unfortunately, in t...

Hello all! It’s been about 1.5 months since we announced the Patreon refund form, where we’re inviting any supporter of jacknjellify to get a 100%, no-questions-asked refund if they felt dissatisfied with our perks. I want to give an update on this form!
To the 5 patrons who have submitted this form, you should have received the refund over PayPal at least a month ago — if you haven’t rece...

Hello everyone! Recently, I noticed people weren’t happy with the way some tiers of our Patreon were described and executed. I want to right these wrongs, because it wasn’t right that our poor wording and clumsy execution caused people to feel tricked. To summarize: some of you ended up pledging and receiving rewards that weren't what you were expecting.
To make amends, I’ll allow any Jacknjellify supporter who felt dissatisfied with a past charge, to request a no-questions-asked ...

With season 4 coming to an end, recommended characters are ending for now! Characters recommended in January and February 2021 will appear in BFB 30. Remaining unused relevant recommended characters will be used throughout BFB 30, TPOT 2, and TPOT 3. Voice requests will be finished up ASAP.
In other words, we're going to end most of Jacknjellify's Patreon and YouTube memberships in March 2021. We really appreciate your generosity/support, because it has allowed BFB to come to life. But ...

Hi Jacknjellifians! Michael here. BFB 30 is upon us!
As the season come to an end, so will the recommended character system. It's a been so cool featuring so many great characters drawn beautifully! More info on that later.
Anyway, we're hard at work on BFB 30, with the weekly videos continuing at least until that episode is released!
TY everybody!

Hey guys! It's Satomi! Things have been crazy this month, and I ended up writing the thank-you note this time. But I guess that's thematically relevant, since TPOT came out this month, and the wallpaper is about TPOT! (My job is to produce TPOT, by the way, lol).
So, thank you!!! Thank you so much for enjoying TPOT, and getting the first episode up to three million views!!! That's so crazy! I feel like I've never seen a video grow this fast!!

Hi guys! It's me, Cary. So first of all, we've reached the end of the year of 2020 - what a crazy journey it's been! Thanks for helping us make BFDI happen throughout 2020 :) We got to make a ton of cool BFDI-related projects in recent months because of your support: from the silly BFDI Mini Series on TikTok, to the eduational Graphy course called "Object Animator’s Toolbox", to the festive "Jingle Bell Rock" cover that was sung by Pokey, Griffin Weber, and my brother Michael!

Hello everyone! It's me, Cary. Now we are in December. It's crazy how time flies!
Thanks for your generous support in keeping the BFDI series afloat this year. So much has happened in 2020, from 11 BFB episodes (soon to be 12 and maybe even 13!) to 2 re-animated episodes, to 2 super-fun mini-seasons! And it wouldn't have been possible without you. I mean, so much of BFDI revolves around community input, from the votes in BFB episodes, to votes in the BFDI Mini seasons, to t...

Hi supporters, Cary here again, checking in. Thank you again for all your generous support and helping keep this jacknjellify project afloat! It wouldn't be possible without you.
Anyway, the BFB contestant pool is really starting to whittle down now, with only 6 contestants left! I can't believe how far the season has come in the last three years. (That reminds me, the 3rd anniversary of BFB is coming up in just a few days!) Michael and I have been experimenting with longer...

Hi everyone, it's me Cary again! October is near, and fall is upon us. Even with the changing of the seasons, I want to reiterate that I'm grateful you guys are here to support the BFDI show. Many of these new projects wouldn't be possible without you!
We reached 800,000 subscribers recently, so we're working hard on making a celebration video for that milestone in the coming weeks! Also, you may have seen the recent video showcasing BFDI characters reacting to comments abo...

Hello jacknjellify supporters! Cary here. Again, thanks so much for helping contribute to the world of BFDI, I really am so grateful for your generosity!
Of course, as we move into the fall, and the school year begins for many of you, our plan is to keep churning these BFB episodes roughly every 3-4 weeks. I'm also enjoying including lots of your "relevant recommended characters" in the show (for example, Clip and Steamy and Portable Music Player) as well! It's awesome to h...

July 24 is coming up, so as I'm writing, BFB 22 is almost out, and on the same day is our 2nd ever plush — the Leafy Plush! Cary and I have worked hard to make it real, and it's exciting to know Leafy's about to join the plu...

Hello creatures of the BFDI ecosystem, it's me, Cary! This is actually my first time speaking to you directly, so first and foremost, I want to say thank you. I'm super appreciative of all your support, because many of the things coming out of the BFDI world recently wouldn't be possible without it! Lately, I've been motivated to start new projects within the BFDI world, and that might include things like a newer version of the BFDIA 5b game, or perhaps even a new BFDI character plush. ðŸ...

Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed the new episode!
Here's how recommended characters will be appearing in the future:
BFB episodes will have zero or one recommended character scroll! Those will be for the nametags, cave drawings, and high quality recommended characters. As for relevant recommended characters, they'll be appearing in TPOT.
In the event that there's a backlog of recommended characters who need to appear (for example, right now) the extra ones will appear in TPOT. ...

Wassup people! I had fun voicing new lines from patrons as Four. These recommended characters you guys are submitting are cool AF (as Four) too! I hope you guys liked the new episode. We are making progress with new merch (including the previously mentioned new plush), and soon we will be hiring a bunch of new people to work on BFB. This is one of the most exciting times to be in the BFDI community, and you guys are closest to the center of it! TY, Michael

Thank you guys so much for you help! We're hard at work on BFB 16, which will have parts that are surprising A.F. (As Four)! New types of merch and a plush are on their way too. It was very, very cool seeing all the contributors to Open Source Objects release a new episode — I wonder how many of them made submissions to our hiring form! We're still making our way through them all, and I am impressed with what people submitted. Thank you everybody! — Michael A.F. (Actor of Four)

Hey again! It's been a busy month here at Jacknjellify, and we've made some huge plans for the upcoming year! I can't say much about it yet, but please look forward to BFB 16, and our plans to make BFB able to come out more frequently! Anyway, if you're a patron, leave a comment letting us know if there are any specific characters you'd want to see featured in a future wallpaper! —Satomi

Normal recommended characters appearing in it were recommended in the following months:
September 2019
October 2019
November 2019
December 2019
Debuting recommended characters were pulled from BFB 2 - BFB 15!

BFB 16 is going to have every recommended character from September 2019 to December 2019 making an appearance, so look forward to that!

Waddup guys, this is Michael. I really appreciate you guys for supporting us. I had a lot of fun recording lines as Blocky and Bubble as one of our Patreon perks.
There is a lot more I want to do for the Patreon and you guys, and I've been working on a video about how COPPA affects us, as well as our plan for the future. You guys are a part of it, and I want to thank you guys personally for sticking with us! Look forward to BFDI 15 in December. Thanks! —Michael

Here's the first wallpaper for our new wallpaper tier, and all tiers above! You can download it in a number of sizes, so see which one is right for you!
Sorry this came a little late. In future months, it will come before the end of the month. So expect the October wallpaper in 28 days or less!
Thank you all so much for pledging this month. Our patronage basically doubled! This will no doubt help us regain traction with making sure BFB can keep getting made! -Satomi

Hi all! We know that there are some of you who aren't on the patrons discord, so this post will be where you can get updates on the episode!
As of right now, the storyboard has been completed, all of the lines are in, and audio is finished! Also, animation is finished! We're now working on final touches, which there are a lot of, as well as post-production.
You might've already heard this, but BFB 15 has a release date now! It's December 14, 2019.

(Last updated July 1)
It's come to my attention that some users are unable to receive the episode progress updates that are visible on the discord server, despite being patrons. So I'm posting them here.
As of right now, the episode is 65% done being animated, and 100% done with audio. Cary wants the episode out before the Vidcon meetup, which is well within what's possible. So it'll be out by the Vidcon Meetup.
