I've answered this a few times in various places, but I really should look into a way to sort of have a pinned note at the top of the blog for posterity.

Before I answer your question directly, I want to briefly explain my work schedule:

The way it works, my schedule is split into two (shifting into three) categories: Longs, Shorts, and Micros. The way they work is that Long projects are singular videos that are massive in scope, such as Blue Star, roughly anything that's 20+ minutes in length. Short projects are videos that are between 5 and 20 minutes, with the goal being 8 minutes. And then Micros are videos that are under 5 minutes, aiming for 90 seconds.

The schedule, then, is that Longs are split up into segments, usually separated out by production milestones and ideally spaced to be 30-day segments. Shorts are worked on start to finish in one sprint, and ideally take one month to build (though realistically it's been taking at least two, I'm not happy about that but it is what it is). I do work on a Long segment, then shift to make a Short to release, move back to do another Long segment, then make and release another Short, so on and so forth. That way people aren't waiting years without any releases while I chip away at Long projects. The Long projects themselves take longer to produce, but the trade-off is more video releases overall.

Micros are a new experiment I only started on earlier this month, and they are worked on basically as a side-project. I put an hour or so into them before bed after I call it a day on the formal work. The goal for the Micros is that they are something that I can assemble, start to finish, in under a week - discounting the delays waiting for voice actors and sound design. Their goal is to have even more content being put out, as the Shorts end up spanning several months, without significantly affecting either the Long production schedule or the Short production cycle.

With all of that in mind, the current production cycle looks like this:

Long - Overbreed Episode 1, then Blue Star Episode 4

Short - Batcat, then a month to finally get the Frozen video finished and rendering as well as make progress toward moving over to Blender for those sweet, sweet cloth simulations, then undecided

Micro - Marie/Honoka Micro (just released last week), then Witcher Ciri Micro, then Claire/Jill Micro, then undecided

So Blue Star Episode 4 is still absolutely on the table. It's been staring at me, unflinching, drilling its gaze deep into my soul, watching me as I sleep, ensuring me that I am never truly alone. So basically it's been a Furby.

Overbreed Episode 1 is the current Long production. It's about halfway done as it is now, and I expect it'll probably take another 3 or 4 cycles of the production schedule to get finished. Which means at least another year. It sucks, but it is what it is. As a wise gaben once said:
