Hey there folks, Landy speaking. Firstly, happy Pride Month! Secondly, I've noticed a few comments rightfully confused about the abundance of merch, and the lack of actual dubs coming out. I don't feel it would be fair to leave you all without an explanation for both of these.
The merch push was made to serve two purposes. For one, we are aware of our slower output these days, and we don't want to leave you empty-handed on Adrenaline stuff. We also need something we can offer at conventions, now that we've got more of a presence there. So the merch has filled these needs pretty well. The merch team is largely separate from the main dub crew, save for a couple artists shared between them, so they aren't getting in the way of video production. That is a separate issue that I'll go into shortly.
At the end of the day, we want to give you cool stuff to have physically, and we want to do it in a way that supports some of our artists, so those are the primary reasons our merch exists.
Video production is actually in an okay spot - we have several videos that are in varying stages of production, and as far as voices and editing are concerned, they're coming along nicely. Issue 35 in particular is nearly entirely done, and has been for months now. The real main reason these videos take so long may surprise you: it's the music!
Techno Cinema is pretty much our only musician. He's been scoring almost all of our dubs for a very long time, and entirely for free. However, he's also a busy guy, which means at any given point, he may be unable to finish a dub's score for extended periods of time. That's unfortunately not within our control, but we are looking into ways to expedite things.
Hopefully this is the answer you were looking for. I don't want to handwave things with "we have lives and jobs" like I typically do, but it's hard to avoid that, because I also don't want to lay blame on any particular part of the process - much less the people involved in those parts. But I figure I owe you all something more substantial.

That's all for now. Thanks, guys!
