Production Blog: 5 AM at Freddy's: Superstar Edition (and others)
🕑 Added 2023-09-14 15:30:58 +0000 UTCHellooooo! I'm here with good updates
Crowne Prince has been hard at work on a new 5 AM at Freddy's while I continue focusing on my wrist pain, and I can easily say we're in good hands.
Crowne has handled everything from Storyboard to these final shots and it's been nothing but smooth sailing. On the side we're also doing a short song parody to accompany the credits, which is done writing and just needs to be produced. We have a planned release date for October 20th.
To give you a little health update as well, my hands have been feeling somewhat better. I'm dabbling in art again but continuing to find it uncomfortable. However, my grip strength is measured at physical therapy to track progress, and since beginning some months ago my grip strength has more than TRIPLED. Measurably that is progress, even though it is still below average. I can also flex muscles in my back now that I never knew existed.
Now for a not so good update. While recovery continues I'm still looking into ways to finish old projects and create new ones that will be less intensive to create but still be fun and have a high quality. The worst of what I can say is that I really don't think Sheriff Hayseed can be completed at this rate, and I'd like to make a full announcement about that.
A variety of things have continuously complicated the project and the wrist pain has only made that worse. It's not a concept I want to throw out but the current project has been nothing but difficult and unfulfilling and it may be in a "cutting my losses" situation. It would also allow me to focus more on Mike & Zach and Suction Cup Man in the future.
If I decide to can it, I would of course release everything we made up to this point. (a complete minute long, voiced animation test, and a full storyboard with basic sound work and temp music) That's currently what I'm thinking of doing to further clean my plate and start fresh with new, less intense projects that will rely on me less heavily.
That's about it for now. Again, thanks for sticking around through this. More soon. Till next time!

Glad you're feeling better! Btw - I sent you a message about the hand stuff! (I'm not selling anything; it's just some info you might find helpful)

I'm glad you're improving! Looks like Crowne Prince is doing an amazing job, looking forward to that. It'll be a shame if the Sheriff Hayseed project falls through, but I trust your judgment
