Episode 2 is now live. I especially remember the long hours into making this one. Originally, Episode 1 was way longer than I intended. It was a 50+ page script and the video itself was about to be an hour long feature. I was struggling to complete it and I was doing everything that I could to release it for Valentine's Day in 2022. Maganda, who plays Lillie, suggested to cut it into two episodes, and I'm certainly glad that I did. I was able to get Episode 1 finished in time and that left the new Episode 2 to be released one week later. Most importantly, I didn't get a migraine thanks to that.
This will be the one of the last of the old episodes that I'll leave as is. It's still a little rough like Episode 1, since they were made at the exact same time as I described, but it concludes Genji's story before shifting into the major timeline of the narrative. For future episodes on Newgrounds, I'll be touching up select old episodes and adding new scenes to replace moments I feel that are lacking with animation sections that I use for my current episodes on YouTube.
I was tempted to completely remake the old episodes into my current style and presentation, but that would require too much time away from working on new videos. I'd much rather use that time going forward than trying to remake the past. I don't mind touching up a few scenes to make them look a little better, but Remasters aren't on my mind right now. If anything, it shows the transformation from where we began to where we are nowadays on YouTube.
Thank you watching. I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope to see you for Episode 3 when it comes to Newgrounds!
