Hey folks, turp here. I'd kinda like to explain what's been going on about the channel and
why I haven't been updating at all for a couple of years. I feel I owe it to you guys considering
I'm still seeing people sub to this channel at a regular interval regardless of the inactivity,
yes I keep an eye on my channel and the messages the videos get.
While the question hasn't been asked, no I'm not dead, and I haven't left the whole LPing
or Youtube video gaming scene. From the moment I stopped updating to now it has been a roller
coaster ride of business, from going to college, moving away from home, following academic
and personal pursuits with what I want to do with my life. I'm not saying I'm done with
doing that, but the pieces are slowly coming together for plans I have for the future.
For one, did you guys know that I went to college to learn how to develop games in my
own right? Yeah, crazy how that works, right? I, several of my college buddies and a few of
my friends I've made over my long internet walkabout are trying to come together to create games.
We DO have an idea for a game to start with, and trust me once we do have a solid piece to show, it will be shown
here. But that plan is still a long ways off at this moment in time.
Another is I actually do have an LPing project I will be getting off the ground with another
LPer I have gotten into contact with some time ago. This project is a two-game affair
where I and the other player will be LPing our own respective games, the twist being
that these games loosely tie into each other at some point in their respective storylines.
I'll be covering one of the two games to lighten the load for the other player, as well as
covering the details, reasons, and points where the games reference each other. So expect
an LP from me in the future!
While waiting for this to begin I've been keeping myself busy from spriting, completing
minimalist backgrounds for minor profit (link and examples on-screen if any of you guys
want one of these nifty-looking things), working on game dev projects, to raising money for
children's charity.
Which leads me to my final and one of the more important points in this video. I will
be streaming with a friend from Saturday November 2ND to Sunday November 3RD for 25 hours straight
for a charity event called Extra Life. For all of those who have been hoping to see me
come back to LPing, this is a good opportunity to see me doing that kind of thing again,
in a more non-organized way. (not that my LPs were very organized... *cough*) I'll be
posting another video the day of the event to inform when we'll be staring on that day,
so please keep your eyes peeled.
From the time of posting this video, we still haven't made our small goal of 100 bucks,
but I'm not worried about making that goal, I want to see how far you as the viewers and
donators can rip that basic goal to shreds. Any and all money made before and/or during
the stream will go to local children's hospitals. That being said, this is not the first time
I worked with Extra Life, this'll be the second. The first being two years ago and it was an
absolute blast, a good number of people showed up and we had alot of fun.
It's important to note with my stream specifically is that any donations made for our run gives
you access to request a game of your choice for us to play. That's right, all the games
we play the day of will be totally user requested minus a few inserts I want to make to the
schedule. If you donate to us before or during the stream, please remember to fill in the
message box at the bottom of the donation page to let us know what game you want. We
will try and pull this all together and work around your personal timezone/schedule so
that you can see your respective game while being played. Please keep in touch with us
for that to work smoothly.
That being said, to donate please click the link that's been floating in this video this
whole time or in the description below. We'll be streaming the event on twitch under the
user "turpinator" and we hope to see you there to support us, regardless of if you donated
or not. Support is always appreciated, and please, even if you don't personally donate
or don't have enough money to; Advertise! Tell others about this and where and how they
can help, or just link them with this video. Every little bit helps in charity, even if
you don't play a direct role.
That's about it, if you guys have any questions regarding anything I talked about during this
video or just want to drop me a line, please feel free to post in the comments or private
message me on this Youtube channel. To all of my viewers, stay awesome.
