How's it going everyone, in this quick video we talk about the future of the channel and what to expect in the next few months or so. Basically I've had a ton of tech problems in the past couple days, and barely got yesterday's video uploaded. I got some new RAM for my system bringing it up to 48GB of DDR4. This was so I could run RPG Maker MV, GameMaker Studio2, Photoshop, video editing software, Chrome tabs, Audacity, Foobar, other games I'm currently playing for the video, and OBS studio to record everything all at the same time. 

I had an issue getting my system to post with the new RAM installed. So I had to M-Flash update the system BIOS on the motherboard. Which luckily worked with little issue. I then encountered another issue where my current operating system(OS) was only capable of using 16GB of the 48GB installed. So just a quick tip if you're using Windows7 Home Premium you won't be able to use any RAM you add past 16GB. So, I updated the OS to Windows 10 Professional which came with it's own issues. I had to re-install some applications, and update most of the drivers that my hardware and peripherals we're using. So I've updated the drivers on my M-Audio sound interface, my Blue Yeti Pro, webcam, external HDs, everything you can imagine. So if the audio is different in this video that's probably why. I'll be reviewing the next few videos for quality control. 

All of these issues have been compounded with my current ISP having technical issues with packet loss and connection failure. (USA Communications) They are coming out tomorrow to fix some lines and hopefully resolve the issues. Yesterday I had to upload the video by using my phone as a Wi-fi hotspot to connect my computer to, right before I did the windows 10 update. (Yes, I used all of my 4g data capacity for the one video.) All of that in an attempt to remain as consistent as possible even when faced with several issues.

In the future of the channel you can expect to see 1-2 special request RPG Maker MV tutorials every couple weeks.(Patreon backers have priority.) 2-3 First Impression videos every week, and 2-3 GameMaker Studio 2 tutorials every week. As well as random videos that I feel like publishing. 

I'm open to feedback and suggestions as to what you would personally like to see on this channel and value you, the viewers' opinions. 

One last thing I want to give a huge thank you to all of you viewers who have been with the channel for so long. The channel is growing and I plan to invest more time and money into more and higher quality content in the future. I love you all and thanks for watching.
