After a good couple months of stepping away from the series and enjoying life outside of making content for a little while, CAPTAIN'S LOG WILL RESUME PRODUCTION VERY SHORTLY!

While on production hiatus, I still have been writing lyrics for new songs, as that's been my favorite aspect of making Captain’s Log since the very beginning! Doing this has absolutely helped in easing me back into the series after a long, rough period of burnout, and also help me come up with some really cool ideas for the final season! After making a bunch of new songs, my resolve for the overall series has finally sparked once again, and I feel more than confident about getting back on the saddle after Thanksgiving weekend!

I will absolutely be pacing myself with this season. I want to deliver a satisfying ending to the story I started almost 5 years ago, and give you all something you can look back on one day and fondly remember. For being the most understanding and kind group of people anyone could ask for, you all deserve a conclusion that shows I care about you all!

With that in mind, I unfortunately cannot give a release date or release window for Book III just yet. I would like to at least have the first half of the season fully written before announcing anything, so you'll have to wait a little bit longer in order to know when the final season is coming out. But it'll be worth the wait, I promise!!

With that, I wish you all well, and only ask we meet once more when the stars come out again. Adieu!

Hello, everyone. I'd like to take a moment to address the current state of my passion project, as I wasn't able to be super specific in the post-credits scene of Now or Never.

As of July 18th, 2025, Captain's Log went into an indefinite production hiatus. No new episodes have been written as of the day this is written, and there are no plans to resume production until early next year.

The release schedule of Captain's Log: Book II was incredibly demanding for both me and the wonderful people responsible for giving the series so much more life. There was a significant shift in how episodes were made, going from Book I'a bi-weekly release pattern with frequent gaps between episodes to a near weekly release pattern that led to episodes being mass-produced in just a couple of days as opposed to the 2+ weeks it took for most of Book I's episodes. As a result, by Book 2B, I had experienced incredibly bad burnout after frequently sacrificing my own health due to a "Let's just get this done and over with" mentality that plagued those final few episodes, ESPECIALLY Now or Never.

I knew I had to step away from the series for a couple of months until I was ready to come back and end it on a note that I can truly be proud of, and that time just hasn't come yet. The original plan was to release Book III sometime this month, but I knew I had to take a break by the time I rendered Now or Never with all the trials and tribulations that finale had brought with it.

Let me be clear, however. Book III IS still happening and a conclusion is coming to Captain's Log. Just not yet. I love this series with all of my heart and I'm so grateful for the audience I've gained because of it. You're the most understanding, kind, and loyal group of people I could ever ask for, and I'm so glad this story that I've been wanting to tell for such a long time now has resonated with you all in the ways it has been. It'd be an insult to leave it on an unsatisfactory note. So please know that this story WILL have an ending. I just need a little more time to get back on the saddle.

Thank you all for understanding, and I'll see you all when the stars come out again!

You watch Captain's Log? Prove it by quoting it. I'll go first.

"While everyone else smelled the blossoms, you rotted and buried yourself until you sank below your roots."
