May Update
🕑 Added 2024-05-17 10:58:35 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Previously I promised a specific date for release of the Kara no Shoujo video under the belief that a deadline would galvanize me to accelerate my editing process. Why I thought this would work, when doing something similar was the very thing that caused my last bout of anxiety regarding being a content creator, I have no idea. Once again I've let you down, and I have no excuse for that.
If I'm going to improve then I have to be honest with myself regarding my own abilities to create in the time that I have to do so. That includes not letting my idealized versions of these videos grow wildly out of scope, this feature-creep style bloat that has wound up affecting both my KnS video and the Umineko video. Every time I stepped away from my project files I'd come back with new ideas to work into the script, secondary topics to cover or frivolous animations to add. While fun in the moment, when it comes to making content this proclivity of mine seems to serve little purpose other than being an unhealthy means of procrastinating the end result by increasing my own workload. I've been pushing the boulder down the mountain myself.
But I'm pulling my shit together. I've cut down many of the extraneous additions I made to the KnS video, but at its current ~80% completion we're still looking at a final runtime of 3 hours and some change. And, despite my best efforts to ruin it for myself, I'm still deeply passionate about Kara no Shoujo and its story, and I'm working on a crescendo in the video that I hope will really let the last act sing. If you see me doing anything on Twitter, it's related to that.
In the meantime, I've paused billing for Patreon, and it will remain that way until the KnS video is out. Irrespective of this, all backers to date will of course still see themselves credited in the video.
If you've been willing to support me through all of this then I thank you. If I've disappointed you then I understand.
My primal instincts really want to end this post with an expected release date but I'm fighting that urge. In-depth monthly updates will resume; if the video is not done by the June update then I'll post another preview with the hour of content that follows the first preview.
Thank you for reading all of this, and I will see you all soon
Ozzy

Other people have asked recently but hey, are you alright? I hope you are, even beyond wanting more videos it'd just be very sad if you weren't well. Hope you come back soon.

Hey Ozzy, i just joined as a member. I wanted to ask are you ok? Are you ever planning on releasing videos again? I don't mind a delay but it's genuinely worrying that you haven't even posted an update in what's going on a year.

I hope things are going well for you, genuinely as a person. I know things are rough at the moment. I just want you to know that we care for you, and arnt looking for any sort of content or timeline. Just for you to be in a good spot for you

Are you okay? It’s been over three months since your last update when you said you would give one next month. I’m not asking about you as a content creator, by the way. I’m asking about you as a person. Can you create a youtube community post or somthing?
lixy o'rorke
Hope you're doing well! Can't wait to see what you have coming, but don't burn yourself out in the process
Thinglet
Thanks for the update, brother. I’ve put myself in many a situation where I’ve given myself an unrealistic deadline in hopes of pushing myself, only to get burnt out and feel guilty. Hope you’re staying happy and healthy, I know great stuff is coming. Sending love!
Lily
it’s alright! You are new to this and it’s okay to underestimate things sometimes. Take your time and dont get pressured by expectations, okay? We all want you to be able to enjoy what you do, that what makes one in this for a long run. It takes time to figure things out. Be easy on yourself.

I look forward to seeing the goods boss

One must imagine Ozzy II happy

No worries Ozzy, we are just here for your content, life goes on and waiting is no problem for me even with billing on

Thanks for the update 👍 I wonder if throwing the bits that expand the scope into a kind of a monthly/weekly (not sure how many you run into) patreon post would help? That way you don't feel like your wasting time and also gives is an info dump we wouldn't see in the final. Just an idea. Bites that payment is paused but if it's less stress on ya then I get it. I'll be here for whenever it ends up starting again. Reminder that even if Ryukishi can delay Ciconia for 5 years, an extra month or two's nothing
