Hi everyone,

We hope everyone is staying well and healthy. There are a few projects that we have in the pipe that we thought we would shed some light on:

- Indie Manga Artist documentary: We've seen positive reactions on the teaser we've shared on the channel a few weeks back. Editing is in progress, this will be a long one (looking at around the 1 hour mark) that we target to release in October.

- Hideki Kamiya: We sat down with Hideki Kamiya, the creator behind Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Okami, Bayonetta (and more) for a -very- long interview about his career up until his latest game Sol Cresta. We will publish this content on Cutscenes over multiple episodes.

- Cutscenes Content: After our series on Kamiya, more will be coming on the channel, a portrait of a renown illustrator and character designer in the game industry, and what will probably become a longer documentary scheduled for the start of next year.

- Archipel: We're currently spending a lot of time discussing the future of Archipel. We're still building our whole framework for it, but our objective is to renew the channel with multiple series, one of them themed around illustration, from all fields (manga, pure illustration, conceptual art, etc.), but also content that goes beyond Japan's pop culture spectrum to also include society topics, aiming to become a broader video media on Japanese culture and ultimately lift up our support base on Patreon.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments here or on the Patron Discord channel!

Stay safe.
