 So, 2020 sure was a year. I'm sure I'm not the only one who left it completely emotionally and creatively exhausted. I'm really proud of the work that I was able to do this year, and I think that it's been hands-down the best year in Polyphonic's existence. But trying to be more ambitious with my visuals and trying to tell more raw human stories has taken a lot out of me, so I wanted to let you all know that I'm going to be taking a bit of a hiatus from Polyphonic for the next month or so. I don't really have a firm plan as to when I'll return, but I think it'll probably be sometime in February. I'm not going to be completely gone though. If you want to keep up with me, I've got a number of other things on the go. You might have noticed that in the past few months I've started live streaming, and that's something that I'm going to continue through January. I'll probably do some streams on YouTube, but for the most part I'm going to be moving my streaming over to Twitch. So be sure to follow me at twitch.tv.watchpolyphonic if you want to see me talk about stuff. My streams will be a whole bunch of stuff, music tier lists, myself making art, and maybe even some live video editing, I'm not really sure, it's going to be freeform. And twitch.tv.watchpolyphonic is also going to be the home of my new streaming show, Very Important Charts. What is Very Important Charts? Well it's myself and my friend Mitto from Gamescore Fanfare making charts about music. Some of the charts that we've made so far include a wild categorization of nearly every Halloween song, a chart that figures out what kind of mustache energy different artists exude, and the chart that started it all, bands ranked according to how hard they rage against the machine. The last chart is available as a poster on the Polyphonic store right now by the way. Keep up with this live stuff but you don't have time to follow along? You can also subscribe to Polyphonic Live where I'll be posting highlights from my streams. If you go there now you'll be able to watch the Christmas episode of Very Important Charts and see how this turned into this. So keep an eye out on Polyphonic Live if you want to see more stuff from me including my janky lead zeppelin tier list highlights which we'll be dropping next week. I've had a few other projects on the go as well. For Christmas I put together a little present that you can buy on Gumroad. It's called the Polyphonic Stocking and it's a resource and art pack. Included in the stocking are high quality public domain graphic resources, PSDs of Polyphonic Thumbnails, previously unseen Polyphonic Scripts, and a whole host of other little treats and projects of mine. If that's the sort of thing that might interest you it's available at the link that my animated finger is pointing at now. It only costs one dollar but if you want to pay more you can and that's a nice little way of showing support for the channel. I'm also really excited to tell you guys that I directed a lyric video for one of my close friends, Fisher Park. It's kind of a love letter to my hometown and if you want to check it out you can head on over to his YouTube channel. The finger will be pointing at him now or something. These are the kinds of creative projects that I'm hoping to do more of throughout this year and especially to work on during my hiatus. And I've got one more thing before I go. Over the holidays I hit 800,000 subscribers. That is insane to me and I want to thank all of you so much and especially those who support me on Patreon and Nebula. To celebrate this milestone I'm going to be having a live stream Q&A here on YouTube. It's going to happen Monday at 1pm Pacific so pop in and ask some questions. I'll be collecting questions from Twitter at Wash Polyphonic as well as from Superchats while I'm streaming. So yeah I think that's pretty much it for this update video. I'll leave it on a thank you. You all have done so much to support me and once I'm back from hiatus I've got some videos in mind that I think you're all really going to enjoy. So keep an eye out for that. Stay safe. Happy New Year. Let's make this one better.
