Episode 015 - Update #2

Hey fans! 

All footage and writing has been completed for Episode 015. I broke ground on the actual edit today and managed to get two segments roughed in. That's two out of a scheduled nine segments for this episode! 

Those of you who follow me on twitter likely know already that I was laid off last week. So while I am putting a lot of time into my job search at the moment, I still have more free time through the week than I did previously, so this episode should come together relatively quickly. 

That's the up side. The down side is that I'm not currently gainfully employed. And so your support is more important than ever. If you haven't yet, I would really appreciate anything you could give to my Patreon campaign. Give a dollar or more and your name goes into the credits of each episode. Give $5 or more and you get early access to each episode. Just think, you'll know what was going on in video games 25 year ago a whole week before all of the non-backers!

Remember to tune into my Twitch channel each Wednesday night for Generation 16 Live, where I play each of the games that have been covered in the main series thus far. This week will feature Altered Beast. 

Expect more frequent updates on the current episode as I wrap up each new segment. 

Episode 015 - Update #1

Hi all! 

Work is well underway on Episode 015, though it's looking as though this will be the biggest ever for Generation 16. By my count there are at least nine unique segments that will be going into this episode, including the release of one of the most important games in the system's history. 

I've currently got about 30% of the footage captured for the show, and have the script written for two of the segments so far. Thanks for your patience as I continue to work on this. 

Two more updates: 

1. I've begun a companion series to the show called Generation 16 Bits, where I'm taking the individual segments from each proper episode and repackaging them as shorter videos. The idea here is that people will be able to find individual games or events that I've covered without looking for the proper episode and scrubbing through a half hour of footage looking for what they want to watch. 

You'll find the first episode over on the channel. 

2. I'm planning on launching Generation 16 Live over on my twitch channel starting next Wednesday, January 14, at around 9:30 pm EST. The idea here is similar to the one behind the series - I'll be playing Mega Drive games in chronological order. I won't necessarily be completing all of them, so episode lengths will range from 20 mins to multiple hours (or multiple segments, for longer games). 

The first game played will Space Harrier II. So drop by and keep me company. There are definitely some good drinking game opportunities - take a shot every time the announcer says "Get Ready!"
