Hi everyone,

The channel has been a bit quiet, so I thought I’d share a quick update on where things stand.

Firstly, as some of you may have heard, Sora, the app I use to create these comics, is being discontinued. This will affect the channel, but not immediately. Sora is still active as of this post, and I currently have four stories in development using it. However, since its days are numbered (the exact shutdown date hasn’t been confirmed—only that it will happen within a few months), these will be the last comics I create using that application.

In practical terms, this means the art style I’ve been using will no longer be available, and I’ll need to start fresh with a new image generator. I’m currently looking at trying Nano Banana to begin with.

I plan to use these final stories to conclude the "Matriarch Saga" All the comics I’ve released so far are connected, and these upcoming stories will bring that universe to a close. Moving forward, new stories will form a new “season,” featuring new lore and characters.

I’m also planning to introduce voiceovers for these stories. This will mean longer production times, I’ll likely only be able to release one or two per month, but I’m hoping the added quality will make it worthwhile. If this approach is successful, I may revisit older stories and add voiceovers to them as well.

Additionally, for those who have requested languages other than English, the inclusion of voiceovers will allow for scripts and subtitles, making translations more accessible for you.

I’ve previously mentioned wanting to experiment with fully animated stories with voice acting. Unfortunately, I don’t feel the technology is quite there yet, and I wasn’t satisfied with the results. For now, I’ll be sticking to standard comics and the new style ones with voiceovers for the foreseeable future. That said, I may revisit the idea of full animation once the technology improves.

That’s the update! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to support the channel.

Hi everyone,

I should have the next part of Brad&Sam out tomorrow then have one more comic story out between 7 and 10 days after that. I will be taking a bit of a longer break after that though as I want to work on trying to a fully animated and voiced muscle girl story produced.

The comics won't stop, I will still do them as I enjoy bring the story to life through the still images but I think an animated story would bring a new level of engagement with the characters and plots. I'm excited to experiment with everything and see what can be done with the current technology mixed with more traditional tried and tested editing tools. There's no doubt though that this sort of video will take much longer, especially the first of its kind, so for the next few weeks from about March 14th, I won't be posting for a while. Videos will be ready when they're ready I don't want to rush the process, however I assure you it will be worth the wait!

Thank you for everyone's support

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who subscribed to the channel, we've hit 1500 subs which is awesome. When I started the channel I never actually intended to produce video with shared continuity it just sort of happened but I am happy it did.

I am going to continue to make new interconnected stories, think of all the videos released so far to be 'season 1' if you will. I fully intended to release a season 2 which will have some returning characters but also new original ones. I'm currently brain storming new ideas, some of which I've gotten from you guys which I'm very grateful for.

I've also got a suggestion to add voices to my current stories which I am also interested in.

What would be good to know if which my audience would prefer:

More new stories in the current style
OR
The current stories remastered with Voice Acting

There's a poll below to let me know your preference, whatever wins is what I will focus on first but rest assured the other will happen but perhaps in more limited capacity

Thank you for your support

Hello everyone,

The channel has had some amazing growth over the last month and a half and I wanted to thank everyone who has watched and subscribed.

Firstly, It's no secret that some of the art work featured in the video is AI assisted but the videos are not simply 'type a prompt and hit enter and boom you have a video' I write the entire script, I put together the panels manually. All the character ideas are my own, I can't draw so I get a tool to help me but that's it and a lot of the time getting the right images can take hours

Therefore I want to say I will have to reduce my commitment for new videos to around 1 a week to 1 a fortnight. I don't want to rush out content and while I am still kinda happy with the most recent video that just dropped, it isn't up to the quality I want it to be.... it was rushed because I was trying to hit that schedule.

Next and on a more positive note: a few of you have asked about community ideas and suggestions and this is something I am excited about too. The link below is an unlisted video where you can leave a comment with any ideas and/or feedback you'd like. I will read every comment and ultimately put a poll together to see what the audience as a whole want to see next.

This won't change my original videos, I will still make ideas of my own but I want to community to have a voice

Link is here for ideas and feedback: https://youtu.be/HpUznfpGc08

I am very grateful for all the support I've received, looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Hello

Want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported the channel so far, just thought I'd do a quick update:

Video wise, I try to get 1 video out a week but this is still quite new for me and I don't have a concrete schedule. The next video is taking me longer than expected but I don't want to rush things so it will be ready when it's ready hopefully by Friday but could be later

I know a few people want to submit ideas and stuff which sounds great, I will be looking to do memberships within the week or 2 ( basically when that feature gets unlocked for this channel) which will allow people to do that

Thanks again to everyone who's watched and subscribed!
