or do know but have been really patient with me.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Game news.<\/strong> \u00a0Spiral Skies sees actual up-to-date media content [new stuff to see on a new website specifically chosen for the project &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiralskiesgame.com\">SpiralSkiesGame.com<\/a> &#8211; posted on one of these Mondays. \u00a0This is something that actually has gotten a bit of response which is great&#8230; though at this time nothing is visible on the new domain, just on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.panoramicworlds.com\/\">PanoramicWorlds.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The video channel. \u00a0It&#8217;ll be on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.triumphantartists.com\/kompozer\/html\/videos.html\">TriumphantArtists.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0I&#8217;ve put some substantial effort into this launch but my friends\/actors mostly have yet to sign a digital document I sent them, which, in effect, stalls almost every video I really strongly want online from actually being placed online. \u00a0When they ask about the videos not being online, I turn the question around and ask them why they have been unwilling to sign the documents I sent them. \u00a0I tell them that THEY are holding back said releases. \u00a0Most of them seem genuinely surprised by this. \u00a0Perhaps once I am pulling in thousands of viewers these holdouts will actually notice, and respond to, the messages I sent.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>More artworks on Etsy in the lead up to the mid-April launches.<\/strong> \u00a0This is the only way that some of the launch content can actually [realistically] materialize faster. \u00a0If you audience members like the items I list on Etsy then buy them, knowing that those sales [if made in the next few weeks] will finance completion of more videos, etc. \u00a0So once again, please take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/MatthewLHornbostel?ref=hdr_shop_menu\">my Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Here are the different videos [definitely] making it online in the next 15 weeks. \u00a0Longer projects are often split into multiple webisodes and I currently estimate between 24 and 36 videos being on the channel by the last of the 15 weeks. \u00a0 24 is the likely outcome if nobody signs off on the legal documents in the next few weeks. \u00a036, potentially, if a bunch of the signatures are collected soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>DEFINITELY RELEASED IN NEXT 15 weeks:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>House Trek: The Original Series<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; this is a reworking of an old video series from 2001-2004 that had a very silly take on space travel, badly going where much better sci fi series had already been before. \u00a0The fifth episode, the longest one, is now a two parter, and there&#8217;s also a short new episode tacked on to the end of the series to bridge the gap between this and the upcoming House Trek: The Next Generation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Storm<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;
