Shmup Junkie

Yesterday, I completed editing for the Toaplan Documentary! And while there is still more to be done, we're nearing the finish line. It's been a massive undertaking and one of the reasons I had to halt creating other content until it was complete. Those of you waiting for this awesome project... look forward to finally enjoying it this year! What does that mean for the channel? It means once my work is complete I'll have the time to create my own content again.

If you've already been here with me for a while, you know I'm always looking to try new ideas and change things up. Creating the same type of content endlessly isn't very exciting or challenging. So over the years, you've seen this channel go through many video types... history, humor, reviews, compilations, instructional, nostalgia... whatever I was in the mood for. If an idea grew stale and interest dropped I'd go back to the drawing board with something new and fun. I always enjoyed our interactions afterward and occasional premieres. Most of all, I enjoyed the positive impact some of my work had on everyone and how it helped boost the community. I wanted that to continue by offering others the opportunity to showcase their content on the channel, but unfortunately it was an idea that still drained too much of my resources away from finishing the documentary. So I couldn't keep up with it.

I'm now evaluating if, when and how to get back into creating again once my work on the documentary is complete. What I do know is it won't be exactly the same as before. Oh, there'll still be shmups of course. How could there not be shmups! And humor and hype and production value. But now there's an opportunity to shake things up. If it's going to happen, everything is on the table. Going back to business as usual is so 2024 haha. So please keep an eye on the community here, Twitter, IG, Discord, or wherever else we hang out. I'll be posting more often with updates on the documentary and this channel. Don't call it a comeback... yet.
