September Update

I know...it's technically still August for most of us, but here's the September update. Sorry for the length of it, but a lot to cover

Crowdfunding Tier

First, a huge thank you to everyone who has joined the Crowdfunding Tier. Your support has helped immensely with raising additional funds for new outfits, props, and other assets that allow me to create better locations and more immersive productions.

The Fallout series alone cost around $1,000 to produce, and I have a medieval project planned for late next year with an estimated budget of around $3,000. The additional funding from this tier makes projects like these possible, so I genuinely appreciate everyone who has chosen to support the studio at this level.

Since this tier launched, it hasn't had any additional benefits. I simply don't have the time to create extra content specifically for this tier, but I wanted to add something meaningful in return for your support.

Going forward, Crowdfunding Tier members will receive early access to each new video — one full week before the main release.

For example, the first episode of Shepard's Sirens will be released:

• Crowdfunding Tier: September 23rd

• Standard Tier: September 30th

I hope this early access serves as a small way of giving back and showing my appreciation for your investment in the studio.

Shepard's Sirens

The first episode is coming along very nicely. Filming will wrap up this week, and I'll spend the following couple of weeks editing the episode and adding the audio.

Release Schedule:

• Crowdfunding Tier: September 23rd

• Standard Tier: September 30th

I'm really excited for you guys to see this one.

Tier Update

The Basic and Advanced Tiers are no longer receiving new videos. If you're currently subscribed to one of those tiers, you'll need to move to the Standard Tier to continue receiving new releases.

This change will not cost you anything more on a monthly membership.

If you have an annual membership on the Basic or Advanced Tier, you do not need to move to Standard. You can continue accessing the videos through the link that is sent out each month. I'm not sure whether switching an existing annual membership would result in additional charges, so it's better to leave it as it is.

If you're an annual member and don't have your monthly link, send me a DM and I'll get it to you.

Page Suspension

The recent page suspension was frustrating for everyone. When the page goes down, I can still see your direct messages, but I'm unable to respond to them. That makes it difficult to communicate with everyone when something like this happens.

To help with this in the future, I'm reactivating my old Discord page. If Patreon ever becomes unavailable again, I'll use Discord to provide updates and, when appropriate, share video links.

Hopefully we'll never need it, but I'd rather have a backup communication channel in place.

The Seance 2

The Seance 2 will serve as a sequel to both The Seance and Possession of Penny Gray, and I'm very excited about where this one is heading.

This will be a much larger production, featuring approximately 6–8 female characters and 4–5 male characters. It's shaping up to be a big cast, and the finished project should run close to an hour.

Filming is scheduled to begin next week, with production expected to wrap up by the end of September.

I'm currently targeting:

• Crowdfunding Tier: October 24th

• Standard Tier: October 31st

Valkyries

I'm currently targeting November 30th for the release of Episode 1.

I'm continuing to build out the world and refine the script, and filming will begin as soon as The Seance 2 wraps.

This is going to be a very different story from Bombshells (Sims 4), and I'm excited to start bringing the world together. There's still a lot of work to do, but it's coming together nicely.

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support Top Heavy Productions. Whether you're a longtime member, a Crowdfunding Tier supporter, or someone who simply watches and shares the videos, it all makes a difference.

There is a lot coming over the next few months, and I'm excited to finally start showing you what I've been working on.
