What if I were to do a series that takes place in the same multiverse as Time on the Line, but following a different Isaiah that has a gimmick that's less hard to film? I was thinking I could have one that's canonically talking to a camera for one reason or another rather than a human, and is also canonically supposed to be on a small budget..
That way during the (admittedly, probably very long) wait for me to be able to actually make a quality Time on the Line series, I could keep the multiverse of the show alive with a different Isaiah. Perhaps he runs a TV show for interdimensional cable? And the opening could take place in the "Nothin’ but Java" coffee shop (the coffee shop that exists in the void of a collapsed timeline), playing on a screen in the shop.
For the most part I'd want it to just be simple shots in my room for the "show", but maybe occasionally I could show scenes happening in the coffee shop to tease time on the line lore. For the most part though, unlike time on the line, this series would have very little in terms of lore, and probably no songs at all outside a theme song.
I have a fun idea for the gimmick of the series but I think there's a couple things worth noting:
1: Even if I build this new series to be simpler to record and script for, the episodes of this hypothetical series would not be super regular as I've still got my solodev indie game (Cephalopostle) to work on.
2: If the series doesn't do well, the time (and possibly money) put into it, might actually slow down my ability to do Time on the Line. On the flipside though, if it did super well and made a bunch of money, then I could have more time (since i wouldn't need to work as much for rent, and could just focus on TotL and Cephalopostle) and money, meaning Time on the Line could start sooner.
So basically, if I do this series and it flops, it might be even longer before I can do Time on the Line, but if I do it and it does well, I might be able to do Time on the Line sooner.
NOTE: I have the flu right now, that's why I haven't done the new "Drip Coffee with Isaiah" yet. That's still gonna happen.
Super Isaiah
