Hello! Over the past few days, a few new assets came in that are huge improvements over the previous assets that were going to be used for the 10 Rivals Update. As of now, the update you’re going to get already looks a lot better than the one you were previously going to get.
I’ll share one example, but, of course, it’ll have to be blurry to avoid completely spoiling the surprise:
Curious to know the status of the video? Here are a few facts:
- I finished the 2nd segment of the video. Now only one segment remains.
- This video will be in 1080p, instead of my usual 720p.
- This video involves some video editing techniques / effects that I’ve never used before.
- I’m extremely proud of what I’ve made so far; I think this is going to be one of the best videos on my channel once it’s done.
- My hard drive keeps running low on free space while I’m recording the footage, because I’m recording a large amount of very high-quality, high-resolution footage for this video.
- I think it would be cool to release the 10 Rivals update on October 10th at 10 minutes after 10 AM, because 10:10 10/10 would be a cool release date for 10 rivals. However, I am going to do my best to release the update sooner than that.
- The process of recording footage for the video revealed several bugs that were still in the game, and reminded me of several unpolished aspects of the update that needed to be improved a bit. I’m very glad that I decided to make such an elaborate video, because it has led to numerous additional bug fixes (and extra coats of polish) that the update otherwise would not have had.
- I’m running out of teaser content to show you! Well, there is plenty more content in the update, but even when blurred, it would completely spoil the update. So, starting on October 1st, I will start posting rival silhouettes. I strongly doubt that I’ll run out of silhouettes before I finish the video.
I’m sorry that it’s taking so long. I’m trying my hardest to work as fast as possible, but I’m holding this update and this video to a very, very high standard, so I am frequently saying “No, this footage isn’t good enough!” and re-recording until I get it absolutely perfect. I apologize that my stubborn perfectionism is slowing down the video production process.
Thank you again for your patience!
