So, some things

Hi All,

I've noticed a few things I spoke about in the last couple of blog posts aren't very good at explaining the current situation, mostly the schedule and where everything's going to fit. To be honest, I was pretty confused myself before I spoke to Liam today at our IMstralia Day 3 recording session.

To set things straight, Mario Party 2 will end and be replaced with our next Console Gaming series. When World of Goo is over we'll replace that with the next PC Gaming Series game. We have decided on it, but we won't say until the first episode is out. 

I noticed a thing I said in this blog post might be confusing when you read the next one made. I said that I was working on an animation, but it was going to need more work. A couple of days later I released the double IM Animated. The part which may confuse you is that I have actually got a bunch of animations in the works, which is pretty exciting to think about. So the double IM Animated is not what I was talking about in the blog post. I was talking about one that I decided on in the months before we finished Poke'mon Colosseum.

There is also an idea for a GM Animated which I came up with while doing the tags for one of the GM videos. I won't say what it is because I like a grand reveal.

And then, my goodness, I have another one in the works. I don't work on everything I do at once, but my plans are eventually to finish that Animated and post it onto the channel for all to see.

I think 2017 is going to be a big year for AIM Animations.

Bye All!

I'm feeling proud

Hi All,

Just been chilling out and working on my comics today, but, after having another look at the AIM channel, I can't help feeling proud of what we're doing.

It isn't easy for a channel run by one person to upload a video every day. We're uploading videos daily and sometimes even uploading two videos.

How is this all possible? The reality is that we do upload a video every day (except Saturday and Sunday (for now)) and make sure to organise more recording sessions, make sure the videos are edited with our intro, background and outro. If both of us had a day job, we'd be very busy. But instead, we make videos, draw pieces of artwork and chip away at projects years in the making.

So I'm proud that every single day (again, almost) we manage to upload new content that can be entertaining. The recording sessions are often spaced out and sometimes take place at different locations. AIM Industries was established in 2011. Since October 2013 we've been uploading videos daily, with the allowance of one or two days for relaxation (or homework :P).

I'm proud.

Bye All!

Where's all the new videos?

Hi All!

On Tuesday the 10th of January, Liam and I recorded the next Console Gaming Series. I told him that it is his turn to upload everything, as I have been doing that for most of the last month. I changed the channel art to suit this. Liam is happy with the new schedule.

This all sounds like good news. However, you may have noticed no videos have been uploaded so far. Liam has told me nothing, so I've sent him a text message asking about the situation.

Dammit. I've been going to these writing tutorials and am paranoid that I'm doing something wrong, even though I might not be.

Anyway, I remember offering to upload some of the stuff in order to have a balanced workload. He said it isn't a problem. This leads me to believe either that something has come up or that he misinterpreted what I said. I didn't say when the new schedule would start.

The problem is that we have heaps of 2016 videos that, for whatever reason, cannot be uploaded (Liam's stuff), and some 2017 videos that are not in the schedule. Because the 2017 videos are not scheduled for upload, we can't upload them.

Meanwhile, I've edited the first two episodes of the next CGS game. I have an Animated in the works, but, because it's not urgent, I haven't done much work on it.

This situation is out of my control, but I'm trying to get it resolved.
 We'll find out!

Bye All!

Complications with the schedule

Hi All,

So things are gonna get complicated now that Dark Souls with Ben is finished.
Luigi's Mansion will be replaced with more Mario Party 2.
Liam has more World of Goo to upload.
Time Fcuk is finished.
Tomorrow we record the next Console Gaming Series game.

So the complications are really that G.M. Industries will be replaced with World of Goo.
Mario Party 2 will come for one round and [I don't know how many] episodes. The next CGS series will replace that.
It's a bit complicated, so that's why I'm writing it all down here.
Time Fcuk we might not replace with anything. We'll find out tomorrow.

So this is what we're looking at. I don't know why it feels so complicated. It's probably that not everything's finished. World of Goo we finished recording ages ago. Luigi's Mansion, we all know, is over now. Time Fcuk is over.

Mon-Wed-Fri: World of Goo, later replaced with another thing we won't announce until the first episode is up.
Tues-Thursday: Mario Party 2, later replaced with the next CGS series, which we start recording tomorrow.
Saturday: Nothing yet.

Now it all makes sense to me. I don't know about you.
Bye All!

2015 Year in Review

Hi All,

pffft.

So Liam and I did the 2016 Year in Review maybe half an hour ago, and afterwards I asked if he was interested in doing the 2015 one. He said it had been too long since it should have been made, so I said I'll do a blog post version.
