Ayup! Welcome back to yet another news post. Sit down and get comfy, this is an important one. Lets get started.


Chapter One: The Future of Mind Over Machine


The original idea I had in mind for MOM was to make 10 or more, progressively longer episodes, telling a full and fleshed out narrative. Along with those planned episodes, 5 shorts were planned detailing important events/characters from BEFORE the pilot.


This idea has many flaws, and as I've progressed in both writing and animation prowess, I've realized that this is an unrealistic and silly concept. As such, I've made some alterations.


The NEW + SHINY idea for MOM is to create 5, equally long episodes that detail a shorter yet still complete narrative, over around an hour long runtime. This is a much more achievable goal for a still learning, solo animator. I've been working on rewriting and adapting the story to create a shorter experience without taking out too much as to take away from the viewer's enjoyment.


So that's Problem A solved, what about Problem B?


If you've read my previous news post regarding Mental Health, you'll know that my biggest worry about MOM is the weak animation. The way I animated the pilot was moronic, using iBis paint and some random gif maker app to do a lot of the animation, with the rest being heavily tweened. This was moronic, and as a new and wiser man, I have decided to branch away from this and find a better software to use.


Adobe Animate, Flipaclip, Toon Boom, something of the sort.


This may mean that with Episode One releasing, the show may undergo a rather vast style change, but hopefully this'll allow me to create a much more competent and aesthetically pleasing final product.


Great. Two big problems sorted. But I have one last news.


"Mind Over Machine: Heist of the Century", which was planned to be the next release in the story, has been delayed indefinetly. The focus will be moved on to Episode One, finishing the main narrative before returning to HOTC and the other shorts AFTER the main series is complete.


Those who won a cameo in the fundraiser will have their character in Episode One, instead. Speaking of fundraisers, another one is planned for some point later in year, this time supporting a different charity.


That about covers everything for the time being. As much as I would love to have Episode One out by the end of summer this year, but as time goes on that becomes less and less likely. The best estimate I can give somewhere between Q3-Q4 2023, or, in the worst case, Q1 2024.


Chapter Two: Bunny Solo Endeavours


I do, in fact, have a life outside of MOM. Some interesting things have happened in that field, let me run you through that.


I post semi-frequent gaming videos on YouTube, at least once a month. I play mostly shitty horror games, alotta Backrooms stuff. Sometimes I play good horror games however, like in my upcoming three-parter video where I finally beat "The Smile Room", with the help of @Ugasisvelta! YT link can be found on my carrd!

I do also have 5 commission slots open, which can also be found on my carrd.


Now, the bigger news, some of you may have noticed the name change from "BlueJayNG" to "BlueJayOS". This change was made with the intention of branching out and standing n my own merit, making content without a permanent connection to one specific platform.


The OS stands for Operating System, have had people ask, figured I'd just establish that.


In a little bit of closing news here, I have been working on a new series called "Arcanine: Paranormal Solutions". This started as just a one-off short for my art class final, but I fell in love with the characters and world, and decided to carry it on as a series of unconnected short episodes. No narrative, just quick and simple little skits that I can make to practice animation and keep me distracted if I get burntout from MOM.


Closing Thoughts


Thank you all for reading! I hope to be able to start posting again soon, as my mental state improves.


Also, thank you for fucking 300 followers! A truly mental number, it really makes my heart sore knowing that there are so many people out there who enjoy and want to see more of some random furry's work on the internet.


Have a good day/evening or night, and as always, brush your teeth. xx
