I made a few posts on the blog, I guess I'll put them here too;
Besides that, work is proceeding on the flash, the next updates, something to refine our skills and workflow for a big walkaround later on in the project, and etc. Actx8 New is stalled for now, but I hope to get back to it soon. I have a to do list a mile long. I never sleep.
We took a pretty large break as it all got to be too much; I wanted to work, needed to, but there was just too much going on. I'm super happy to finally be putting content out again.
What else is there to say? Act Omega has also begun, and folks there are totally encouraging and sweet to us, and we're happy to return the favor. I take it as a two cakes situation. Oh, and I started learning a bit about music. That's about it.
I guess the most candid thing to say is that Act 8, in the way I’m approaching it now, is pretty miserable work. Saying that sounds like i’m not grateful to everyone that has come around and donated their time and energy, even in making negative reviews, but I absolutely am. I’m trying to find a way to say I’m under a huge amount of pressure without coming across as cloying; ultimately, I don’t really care if it makes me miserable or if it’s hard to do. It just sometimes demands more than I can give, and the consequence is either something comes out on time and it’s not quite good, or something doesn’t come out on time and maybe it’s a little bit closer to good.
The positive thing to take away from all this is that if something matters to you, just keep going. Everyone has something to offer. At the very least you’ll learn something, even if it’s how to be a more resolute human being.
Alright I’ve got no idea what this post was even trying to communicate. Basically, thank you everybody for your patience, teamwork and feedback.

| take your time to release something y'all are satisfied with. people can wait a few extra days or weeks for something that makes all involved feel good about it.
There’s actually a second, two-part reason for aspiring to deadlines and a certain update frequency; momentum, and I really, really only want this to only last for a year. I started reading homestuck when it came out in 2009, and at some point that’s just enough of my life to give to something. When I delay an update, I’m not just delaying that update. I’m taking time away from the next thing I want to do.
Act 8 is, fundamentally, a fan story I really want to tell. I make a lot of choices as a director that commit to completion over perfection; I actually would rather have a C+ story done in a year than an A+ story done in five years, particularly since I’m not getting paid.
I’m rambling again, but it’s definitely a hard line to walk. I’m learning how to walk it. Maybe things will get better over time. Thank you for the input, though.

Alright, enough doom and gloom. At the end of the day there’s way more that I’m proud of and excited about in act 8 than there is stuff to be unhappy with. Point is, sometimes it’s good that things are hard. It’s energizing. Sticking through the challenging parts of a work and being realistic about its flaws and your limitations can help make you a better creative person. So not just to my self, but everybody out there; let’s do our best.
I’m gonna let Blue field questions, and get back to work on something I hope you guys are really, really gonna like.
