Last month, I said that I was beginning production on clips for 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15 (which I hoped to release in June), and that I was starting with the most time-consuming clip because I wanted to get it out of the way first. I said that I would try to have it finished before March. That turned out ...

I started January by brainstorming ideas for part 15. When I had enough of them, I began working on the clips. I decided to start with the most time-consuming one on the list first to get it out of the way. It’s taking so long that even though I’ve already spent 2 weeks on it, I’m still working on the script.<...

Not much to report for December. I spent the first half of the month making shorts and polls to draw more attention to the channel, and the second half catching up on chores I put off to make time for Part 14. I did manage to spend a little time brainstorming ideas for part 15, but I don’t think I have quite enoug...

Part 14 is mostly done, but I’m waiting for a response from someone to finalize something and I still need to mess with the sound a little more. I might post the current version of it here on Patreon, though. The trailer for part 14 is also done and will go up tomorrow morning. Next, I’m going to work on a...

Last month, I said I was still technically on schedule, but I was likely to fall behind soon because my method for determining my progress was going to under-estimate the time I would need to make the last few clips. I was right. My original plan was to have 60 clips finished by October 20th, but instead, I had to s...

I spent September working on Part 14, which I hope to release in early December. Most of that time was spent working on just two clips, one of which is still not done yet, so I only managed to finish 10 clips total this month. Despite that, I’m currently on schedule for finishing the clips by October 20th, althoug...

My current plan is to release 50 Ways 14 in early December 2021. To accomplish this, I need to have 60 clips completed by October 20th. Since I have more time-per-clip to work on part 14 than I did for parts 12 and 13, I’m also hoping to finish them early and start making clips for Part 15 before working on the fi...

Last month, I explained that I hadn’t decided which of my two plans I was going to put into action, which were to either:
1. Release one 50 Ways video in December 2021, one in June 2022, and two in Late 2022
or
2. Release two 50 Ways videos in June 2022 and two in Late 2022.

I spent the first half of June making shorts, polls, and preparing for the releases of parts 12 and 13. Then I spent the second half of June on vacation and doing chores that I had neglected during the lead-up to part 12 and 13’s release, so I didn’t get anything else done after that.

In April, I worked on the final edits of Parts 12 and 13. I started by deciding which clips would go into which video, then decided what order they should go in. This process is a lot more time-consuming than you might think. It took most of April.

In February, I kept working on clips for 50 Ways12 and 13. The good news is that I got so many done that I only need a minimum of 9 more to make both videos (although I really hope I get 29 more done for quality control). The bad news is that I think I already finished the majority of the easy ones, so most of the r...

Last month, I speculated that the reason I finished so few clips in November despite working almost double time was that the clips I worked on just happened to be especially time-consuming compared to my usual output.

In November, I worked on clips for part 12. Unfortunately, despite working nearly twice as many hours as usual, I only managed to make 12 more clips. Once again, most of the clips I worked on this month were ambitious and time-consuming, but the ones I have lined up after them seem much easier. Still, there’s abso...

In October, I released my M&M’s: The Lost Formulas review and the 50 Ways Halloween Special. I also started production on Part 12. I didn’t manage to get many clips done even though I worked double hours again, but hopefully that’s only because I worked on the hardest ones first. Even so, it’s looking much less likely that I’ll be able to finish Part 12 before the December ad window ends. I’m going to keep...

As I explained in my last production update, I spent this month working on that other Halloween video I mentioned last time. I think I’m about 15/16ths finished with it, although that’s just talking about the minimum viable product. I still have to add music to it and tweak a whole bunch of little things before I’ll be happy with it. Whatever I do, I plan to have it finished ...

As you all know, in August, I finished the 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Halloween Special. I also finished the trailer for it and the thumbnail. It should be all set for Halloween. Now that it’s done, I’m going to work full time on that other Halloween video I mentioned in the Halloween 50 Ways video. Hopefully I can finish it quickly, because then I can work full time on 50 Way...

Here's the Halloween special for 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft. I had to temporarily remove some parts because they were making references to a video I haven't even made yet, but it'll be up before the final release.

In May, I managed to record a lot more clips for the Halloween 50WtDiM. In fact, I recorded more of them in May than I had in February, March, and April all put together. That’s not to say I got more work done this month, it’s just that the clips I recorded in the previous three months took much longer to set up than the ones I recorded in May.
I still have about 30 more ...

In April, I finished adding some bonus deaths to Part 11 to bring it over 10 minutes. It took about 11 days. If you guys want to see them, I’ll put a link to the unlisted video here on Patreon. Once that was done, I spent the rest of the month recording clips for the Halloween edition. I only recorded about 10 of them, but that was due to the amount of time I spent building this ...

I managed to get a few more Halloween clips recorded in March, but not as many as I would have hoped. The ones I did record were some of the most time consuming clips on the list. The next clips I’m going to record don’t look like they’ll take as long.

I finished the trailer and thumbnail for Part 11 and started work on the Halloween video. Usually, I try to come up with at least 60 ideas before I start working on the project so that I can leave out the 10 worst clips when it’s time to edit the final video, but I want this video to be even better than usual, so I decided to wait until I had at least 90 ideas.
Also, instead of just recording the clips in the order tha...
