π§ Sacrificing Summer for Shrek 2 Retold + A Halloween Zine Treat π¬
🕑 Added 2025-08-08 22:17:54 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I wanted to do a more casual, behind-the-scenes update today. Think of this like a little devlog or podcast. Lots to cover: the 3GI Zine, Shrek 2 Retold, and a few secret extrasβ¦
π° 3GI Zine β Issue #1 is OUT!
The first-ever 3GI Zine has officially shipped to all Disciple-tier patrons ($10+), and Iβm so happy with how it turned out. Itβs packed with:
Interviews with amazing creators (Jim Tozzi, QuintonReviews, Ratboy Genius, Bentl)
Comics, jokes, short stories, cut-out crafts, an I Spy spread, stickers, and more
A new raccoon mascot (help me name himβ¦ βScrappyβ is the front-runner π)
A caption contest for the next issue
The feedback so far has been AWESOME. Thank you to everyone whoβs reached out to say they loved it :)
π¦ Shipping Note for International Patrons
I underestimated how expensive international shipping would be (turns out βjust paperβ still costs a lot to mail).
If youβre international and want to keep getting the zine, please bump your pledge to $15/month so we can cover shipping costs.
π Issue #2 β Halloween Theme (Submissions Open!)
The next issue is already in the works: spooky, fun, and weird. If youβre in the Disciple tier, you can submit now!
HERE ARE THE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The deadline is the end of the month, so get your ideas in now!
π§ Shrek 2 Retold β Going Ogretime
Iβve been working on Shrek 2 Retold nonstop. No freelance gigs, no side videos, just pouring everything into getting it finished. Iβve even dipped into savings and basically sacrificed my summer for the sake of making this thing as epic as it can be.
Iβm aiming to have a solid cut by the end of the month, then Iβll polish it for final release. Itβs been a huge undertaking, but I truly believe the final product will be worth it.
π€ Far Far Away Idol β Itβs Happening
As a bonus companion to Shrek 2 Retold, weβre making Far Far Away Idol (plus some other extras).
If youβre an animator, filmmaker, or musician and want in, email shrextracredit@gmail.com with your portfolio, and your desire for either music or visuals. This is a quick-turnaround project, so donβt wait.
This wonβt slow down the main film β think of it as icing on the cake.
π΅οΈ Watch Shrek 2 Time
Weβve already released 9 episodes (10+ hours!) of behind-the-scenes content about making the movie. The final episode will drop after the filmβs release so we can finally share all the spoilers.
π Thank You
Thanks for sticking with this long journey. Shrek 2 Retold is close, the zine is growing into something special, and Iβm so excited for you to see whatβs next.
If youβre not in the Disciple tier yet, nowβs the perfect time to join so you get the Halloween issue of the zine mailed to you. If you are a Disciple, send in your submissions!
Hereβs to epic moments.
