Woah! Special thanks to @ncard00 for getting the crowd funded mocap suit campaign to the half way point! We are 50% funded thanks to so many generous people!
Once acquired it's going to really help get production going on Dark Force Rising, the suit I've been using is falling apart and while I can still use it for a bit longer, it really is time for a new one.
For those who haven't seen it yet, I've attached the video discussing the campaign to this post and here's a link to the Ko-Fi page where the campaign is taking place.

Lately I've been running into some health problems (I'll talk about that when I've got a full diagnosis) which have slowed down progress on writing Dark Force Rising, but thankfully rendering Heir to the Empire's Special Edition doesn't require a lot of effort on my part, so I can leave it running when I'm not up to sitting at the computer for long periods of time.
I'm very pleased to say that 14 Chapters worth of footage has been rendered, so it's almost half way there. The difference looks stunning and I'm hoping to have a trailer ready soon so you can finally see it for yourselves.
Thankyou everyone for your support, from watching the show, kind words about my health and helping out with the MoCap suit campaign. It all means so much and I'm very lucky to have all of you watching my back. Thankyou!

I seem to have picked up a rather unpleasant cold over the weekend, so I'll be passing on this week's stream.
But I am happy to report that I'm closing in on a third of the way through the Heir to the Empire rerender. That's based on number of scenes rerendered and a lot of the remaining ones are fairly short so I'm excited to blast through those.
And I've been editing the new footage into completed episodes too and I'm very happy with how they are looking.

For health reasons, I will not be streaming tonight. But I'm hoping that soon I can stop having to do that.
The remaster continues apace.

No stream tonight, this render for the remastered Heir to the Empire is taking longer than expected. But the project looks great and I can't wait to share it!

Sadly, no stream tonight as I'm not feeling too well. I look forward to resuming Mysteries of the Sith next week though!
And I'm happy to report another episode of the remaster has been completely rendered. It's coming along nicely!

Two bits of news for today, first of all, the Heir to the Empire remaster now has 8 episodes rendered. That's the quarter way point! Looking forward to being able to share this with all of you.
Next, all a big thankyou to everyone who has supported the crowd funding campaign for a new motion capture suit. Thanks to the generous support, it's now 33% funded! It means so much to me that you're all helping me out so much.
For those who haven't seen it yet but would like to support the campaign: ko-fi.com/darthangelus
When we get to the half way point, I'll put together a trailer for the the remaster.

For those who might have missed it last night (I did post it quite late), I recorded a new Message from the Director video, the first for Dark Force Rising!
I'm looking for help funding a new motion capture suit to replace my current one which is 9 years old and it shows. It's a big ask but it will really help with production on adapting Dark Force Rising since I don't think the suit I've got now will make it through the book.
If anyone would like to support this campaign, check out my Ko-Fi page here: ko-fi.com/darthangelus

Over the weekend, I have been reminded that some of my earlier work isn't here on YouTube and it got me thinking that I could release it weekly as something for you all to enjoy while the Heir to the Empire remaster continues rendering.
It's not Star Wars (but it is in space and has a few battles) and it's pretty rough but it won't slow down the Remaster or Dark Force Rising.
But it's up to all of you to decide.
