As we now start to officially start the "second half" of the 2020 year (and continue to forge on through the "summer months" period), I still wanted to snag this chance to do this formal monthly greetings to touch on what's been going on so far on the music operations' backend while keeping it short; I just came back home from doing a huge batch of errands and need to seriously rejuvenate for what lies ahead for the next few weeks.
First, as I stated in previous entries, I've apparently been "full speed ahead" at trying my best to snag space in my schedule to clear my planbook's music arrangement targets backlog. Recently, the focus has been in terms of trying to make progress on two upcoming featured installments for these operations (which are Paper Mario: Color Splash and Mario Sports Superstars). And I'm still reviewing stuff on my end to see what else I can see about progressing on based on this page as well. And as you can tell, there are a lot that I'm dealing with. But I'm determined to make it through this, despite the horrifying "coronavirus pandemic" that's been clogging everyone's routines, including mine.
Which brings me to the second thing I wanted to address: the "phase 2" progress of finalizing completed upcoming music arrangement stuff. As I am writing this, I'm still hard at work trying to find alternative options so I can see about starting to finalizing stuff that's been in the queue for months waiting for me to share with all of you faithful listeners/supporters of these operations. I know that many of you are asking when in God's name I'll get back in this part of the groove. It will be soon, but there are still no guarantees on this; you'll have to be patient with me. But I will defintiely keep you folks posted on any new developments that occur, especially if I run into any possible breakthroughs that will allow me to make much need progress on the backlog clearing.
Finally, the "community angles". I know that I've said this many times - even though I'm just one person running this huge operations for ten years (going on eleven in about six to seven months), it's still absolutely nothing without all of you keeping tabs on any new happenings here and interacting with myself and others whether it be our Twitter profile, SoundCloud profile, IRC, or even our Discord. And I still haven't forgotten about trying to snag time to finally get the actual site forums back in action again (because I still tend for that to be our primary "community setting" for you faithful followers/listeners of these music operations). Once again, your patience is still greatly appreciated as we continue to fight through these roadblocks together; my only hopes is that for the Forum Portal side of things, we can finally get it back in action before the 2020 year is out. In the meantime, our Twitter Portal and Discord Portal still need new followers, so please don't hesitate to go here and submit a follower request on Twitter, or go and fill out this form to request a temporary invite link to access our server on Discord. Keep in mind that I still have to manually approve each new request received during the Monday - Friday timeframe (barring major holidays); but I'll see about addressing that in another post since we're about to close in on a "holiday weekend" in just a few hours from now.
Until then, I have to end this entry here. All of you please continue to stay safe and keep on supporting this beloved mission of mine which is to do awesome Super Nintendo music style covers of modern game tunes from Nintendo's Super Mario game series (main and branched installments)! I'm out for now, see you all later.
