Production update 2025-05-08

Hello!

I've been working on the upcoming Pokémon video this past week, and things are looking alright. I'm a little bit behind, but I should have some time over the weekend to work, so everything should be fine.

I'm about to get into the real thick of things, but I do have some stuff I worked on tha...

Production update 2025-04-25

Hello!

It's already been a while, huh. I spent a week out of town, but I am back and ready to turn out the video churning machine.

I have some good and some bad news. The bad news: I struggled a lot with the script for the upcoming Pokémon video and it took me way longer to write than I initially planned. The good news: the script is done and I have recreated the run on emulator (not faithfully in terms of execution, but it doesn't matter). But also, I have a release date!

Production update 2025-04-04

Hello everyone!

Sorry it's been so long since the last update. I mentioned on my Discord that the production of Part 3 of the DK64 101% WR History series was a bit troubled.

I initially gave the OK for a release date of March 25th, and I had a decent amount of leeway in my schedule to make that happen.

For a variety of reasons, most of which are my own fault, I ended up about two weeks behind schedule. To make matters worse, my parents were visiting - great, but bad for pro...

Ending music of the DK64 WR History

Hello! For Part 3, there was only one new song: the ending! Here it is.

The end of the DK64 101% WR History series

There it is! The conclusion of the story. I will post a supercut edition once the videos have had time to breathe, so probably in about 2 to 3 months from now.

DK64 101% WR History Part 2 is out!

Enjoy! The series will conclude next month with Part 3.

Music of DK64 101% Part 2!

Enjoy! Four new tracks, this time recorded by my brother! I did make the arrangements and a little post-performance tweaking, but it's not me on the piano this time.

Production update 2025-02-19

Hello everyone!

I was planning on making this post on Monday, but unfortunately, exactly like it happened for Part 1, the instant I finished the production schedule for Part 3 this past Sunday, I fell violently ill with stomach flu. Again.

I'm feeling much better today, but I'm definitely still recovering. I'm gonna keep a very light workload today and start proper work on Part 3 tomorrow. So, after tweaking the production schedule to account for that, here's what it looks like! 2025-02-19 12:47:51 +0000 UTC View Post

[UPDATED] Upcoming sort of pricing change

EDIT: I have since discovered that after switching to a monthly format, I will have the ability to pause the fees on months where I did not post. I'll keep the rest of this post intact, but the prices will stay the same and I will only charge on months where I post a video.

Hello,

For the past year or two, Patreon has been phasing out per creation pricing. As of last November, becaus...

Early access: DK64 World Record History Part 2!

Hello everyone!

Here it is, like I promised! An early access to the part 2 of the DK64 WR History series. The video will come out publicly in the next two weeks.

Production update 2025-02-06

Hi!

Oops, I haven't been updating... I'm sorry about that. On the bright side, while normally, whenever I don't update, it's because I have been in a slump and having a hard time making progress on the video, this time, things have been going for the most part rather swimmingly.

Let's have a look at what happened since the last update, and the cool news I have to share. First of all, the production schedule!

Production update 2025-01-11

Hello everyone!

One week has passed, and production has been ongoing. Let's dive into it!

Last update, as soon as I finished the production schedule, I figured, "Hey, why not get a little bit of a lead by recording during the weekend?" Well, that turned out to be a great idea, because on Monday, I got sick. Again. Thankfully, I had a couple of recording sessions under my belt, and so I was able to edit mostly on pace, until I ran out of material on Friday. I was able to record tod...

Production update 2025-01-03

Happy new year!

Hello everyone. I hope you've all had great holidays. Christmas here in Barcelona was nice, but it was a bit bittersweet to be away from home. Here's how my December went!

The release of DK64 WR History part 1 went great. The reception has been warm and enthusiastic, and it has been performing well on the YouTube metrics.

Immediately after the release of DK64 WR His...

DK64 Piano music is finally available!

Hello!

Sorry for the delay in uploading the music for the latest video. Immediately after finishing the video, I was out of the country! I visited London for 9 days. Long story short, I am back, and so here's the music! In total, 15 new songs, ALL with sheet music!

One of them (Monkey Smash) has not been properly formatted so it's near unreadable and utterly useless as sheet music, but I figured instead of going for 14/15 sheet music videos, might as well do all 15 even if one of...

I hope everyone enjoys!

Production update 2024-11-19

Hello everyone!

Time is marching on and we are approaching the release date of the video. So, here's what I've been doing!

Progress has been mostly good. I am slightly behind schedule, but I also have a couple of days of leeway, so things are looking pretty alright. Here's the current outlook:

I'm about 33 minutes in, and the video is expected to last roughly 50 minutes. Here...

Production update 2024-11-11

Hello!

I have made a lot of progress this week. I've been hard at work recording, editing and even finishing up the music. One week since making the schedule, I find myself about one day behind. Not bad, but I'm hoping I can improve this week.

I will say that finishing the music took me a long time and that definitely slowed down my progress, but now that's behind me. Anyway, Here's the progress!

Production update 2024-11-04

Hello!

I am now fully back in the thick of things. Expect regular updates from now on!

I have started my work on my next project. As you know if you've read the last update, it is the World Record History of Donkey Kong 64 101%!

I did some research, which included compiling the list of all the individual level times for each record (thanks CornCob for helping out with that!) and compiling the list of all the tricks used in 101% and the first world record in which they were a...

Update 2024-09-28

Hello everyone!

As you know, I've been busy elsewhere for the past couple of months. I am leaving for Spain tomorrow! I will be there until the end of June 2025.

While I have mostly been focused on applying for a visa and preparing all the other details for the trip, I wasn't entirely idle. I have been working on translating videos to French, and I'm launching a French language channel today!

Unfortunately, I didn't get as much done as I planned. I finished the translation o...

Update 2024-07-16

Hello everyone!

I wanted to give a much needed update on what's going on right now and what's coming up in the near future.

First of all, I want to apologize, again, for how I've been slacking on giving proper updates on production recently. I'm sorry, I let myself lose the habit and procrastination took over. I'll try to be better in the future.

Immediate plans

So, what am I working on next? Well, the answer might disappoint you.....

Music for the Punch Out video

It's finally out! Sorry the last couple of weeks were a bit hectic. I thought the video was going to be delayed until I was able to make it work last minute.

There we go! I hope everyone enjoys it. It's such an insane run that I knew I had to talk about it, even though I couldn't dedicate 2 months to it!

Production update 2024-05-25

Hello everyone!

I am back from the dead. I'll be straight and direct, motivation has been an issue recently and as time went by with nothing great to report, I've had growing anxiety towards opening Patreon and making a post, leading to me just never doing it instead.

Regardless, things haven't been all bad, because despite being in a slump, I've actually managed to slowly crawl my way through the Punch Out video.

Over the last three months, I very slowly made it through mos...

Production update 2024-02-28

Hello everyone!

I have been slowly getting back into the groove lately. In fact, just today, I've managed to finally finish the script! (almost)

The only issue is that the whole thing is about 60% longer than I originally expected it to be. It's proving to be a bit of a motivational challenge because I wasn't setting myself up for one of those hour+ projects, but here we are.

On the bright side, I'm getting more invested in the whole topic now that I've finally finished gras...

Production update 2024-02-15

Hello!

I am back from the dead. Long story short: I started 2024 with a bad cold and it felt like I never got back into the groove since then. January was among my lowest moments in terms of general energy and motivation levels. Could be that we had an insanely low amount of sunlight that month. Anyway, I'm trying to move on from that and look forward!
