Uhm, what happened to September and first 11 days of October? I'm behind schedule, but hey-ho...
This Fall I've been thinking a lot about my As Sims Go By series, that has been running for 2 full seasons with a total of 11 pretty long and detailed episodes. There will be changes, and I'm more or less done scripting the first episode of season 3. It won't air until November though.
I'll try to make the stories less complex and each episode featuring less people. But, I've also concluded that with few viewers I can just as well focus more on having fun while creating these videos, than on reaching out to the entire world. It'n not likely to reach a biger audience regardless of what I adjust.
Season 3 will have 5 episodes, each with just one of the 5 Councillors' family in focus - nothing from the other houses unless the main character visit them. I'll try avoiding stressed scenes, giving more room for dialogues as well as silence, including capturing more of the environment/setting etc. I know it will be very hard though as sims are horrible actors as they never keep the same expression/mood for more than say 4 seconds. If seated they will get up to sit elsewhere during a dialogue, for no good reason - while free will is off. Longer scenes will be much harder to record, but I'll give it a try.
In other words, future episodes will be easier to watch without knowing much about the previous story. It's still a series, but there will be a main subject that starts and stops in the same episode. We'll still have a few episodes from the Council House, and some scenes involving the secret cartel, so the main new thing might be a lot more everyday family scenes from just one home.

Meanwhile, there are now a total of 6 videos of my new "Behind the scenes" series with pictures from my screenshots folder. And - tomorrow day 12 of the Free Will Show will be released! Yay!
