Hey guys
I just want to start off this post by saying I'm so sorry for not responding to any messages we received, every time I logged onto this account tumblr never told me we had new messages so I didn't see them. But I can answer the big question here and now for you all; What is going on/when is the new episode coming out? I hate to say this. I honestly, really, truly, do, but the series will no longer be continuing. I've been putting this off for a long time, debating whether I should just get the next episode out or not, but after some recent events I realized that I can't keep delaying the inevitable, and I especially can't keep you all waiting without an answer. I'm not quitting just because I want to, I have several reasons that led me to this decision. For one, I've completely fallen out of Attack on Titan a while ago. It's a series that I will forever hold near and dear to me, I've met so many great people and had such wonderful opportunities that opened my eyes to new things, but unfortunately these things happen. If I just wasn't as into it anymore, that would be one thing, but because I'm not constantly immersing myself in it, I feel like I wouldn't be able to write scripts/portray characters correctly anymore. Not saying that I'm the master of characterization but it's something that I'm very particular about and if I can't show characters how I think they're supposed to be shown, I will not be proud of what I'm putting out. I don't ever want to give you guys something that I'm not happy with, I want to give you all the best possible experience that I can. I also just want to stress how absolutely exhausting making an audioplay like this is. I know this is partially on me for not giving myself longer deadlines and procrastinating, but at the end of the day it's overall just a difficult thing to do almost entirely by yourself. I did all of the audio and video editing, along with all the scene arts and sprites, and the majority of the script writing. I'm not telling you this to give myself a pat on the back, but just so you can understand how much pressure I put on myself for this project. The amount of times I hardly slept and barely ate because I knew I had to get a video out the next day is ridiculous. Again, I realize this is on me, but in the end, no matter what the deadline it’s still a lot on someone. So please respect everyone in this community for the hard work they've put in, because I'm sure they've all been in the same boat as me. Another, smaller reason, is with all the computer troubles I had, I lost the program I used to video edit and I'm not sure if I can get it back. While I'm sure there's other options, with everything else it seems kind of pointless to me now. No matter what, I feel like I couldn't give you an episode that I'm comfortable giving you, no matter how it's edited. These might seem a little silly or mundane, but please keep in mind I also have a lot of personal reasons as to why I can't continue. I don't want to get into them here, but just know that again, I'm not doing this just because I don't feel like it anymore or something. This project was my baby and it meant so much to me, and it still does. Sometimes I rewatch the episodes and I’m so incredibly proud of what my crew and I were able to make. It makes me emotional to know that I'll never be able to show you all what I was so excited to at first. This project had some huge plans that unfortunately never came to fruition. Cancelling was NEVER something I intended on doing, I even promised to myself and my crew that no matter what this series was going to be completed, but it seemed like everything that could go wrong did. I'm so sorry for breaking that promise, and for letting you all down. I hope this doesn't seem melodramatic, but this project really did mean so much to me and I just want to thank you all for being there no matter what. You were all so supportive and lovely, no matter how many delays we had. I love you all so much for everything you've done for me, even if that was just giving the episode a like on Youtube, it meant the world to me. I love being able to create things that people enjoy, and again I'm so sorry that this one is coming to a close. But please know that I am constantly creating new stories, so keep a lookout for any new projects from me in the future. I love you all so much, and thank you for making my first audioplay-making experience amazing. -Jody
