Okay, because some people don't seem to get how Kickstarter works. People are only charged for their pledges if the campaign is fully funded. No money was taken from anyone who submitted a pledge.

[@maxducks2001]

I’m just a random viewer who knows nothing about leading a project like this, but if Heretic is revisited in the future, maybe you could split it into two or three parts? That way, you can gain interest in the project based off of the first part, and possibly bring in more donations for the second/third. Like a Dollhouse kind of situation with the story picking up immediately where the previous one left off. Again, I have no experience in this type of thing, but it’s an idea.

[@nekrataali]

That does seem like a great idea. That's basically what the creator of Astartes did and he's now making a sequel on a larger budget backed by a multi-billion dollar company (hopefully it maintains its artistic integrity). I think part of the problem with live action is that once you're on location, it's way more expensive to break things up into parts. So if you have a scene that takes place in a house, for example, then there's a scene towards the end of the film in the same house, you aren't saving any money by filming the first scene and then coming back later to film the second scene. This is because of actor/crew schedules, permits, equipment and props, etc. etc. Once you've started filming, it's all or nothing.

[@十十十-s1y]

This will bring up some recurring costs like above-mentioned. For independent small-scale production party it would be a big deal.

[@wantdatcadpat44]

This is like the “Raid” series from Escape From Tarkov (if you haven’t already you should watch it)

[@maxducks2001]

@@nekrataali Unrelated to Heretic, but in regards to Astartes: Hehe, no. No way it’ll maintain that quality with GW at the helm. Have you seen the stupid, meaningless edits they made? It’s mind-boggling. And please don’t GW the benefit of the doubt. They’re a piece of shit company. The only reason the creator of Astartes is even working with them is because they forced them to under threat of lawsuit because GW’s policy on fan projects is backwards logic. It’s no longer on KZbin for a reason. 40K and Astartes are great. The company behind them is shit. I apologize that this rant came out of nowhere, I’m just a very enthusiastic 40K fan.

[@nekrataali]

@@maxducks2001 Yeah I'm familiar with the situation regarding Astartes (and the really shitty sound edits), I just didn't want to drag people into it on an unrelated video 😄 I have faith the creator has the talent and passion to continue the project, but it's obvious with Warhammer+ and its terrible quality Astartes II will struggle in ways it shouldn't.

[@electricbayonet2]

Two very important adages: the first is 'Don't throw good money after bad.' I can see that you understand that. You're moving forward despite the time, effort, and funds that went into the project, and that's a good thing. It's awful the way things worked out, but I found some bittersweet satisfaction in how you said you were moving on to more achievable projects. You don't need some randy to applaud you for being reasonable here in the face of disappointment, but eh, I'll do it anyway. But the second is 'Hindsight is 20-20.' Think long and hard about the 'mistakes' or 'missteps' you made during production, and then apply even more thinking to whether you could have foreseen them at the time with the information and knowledge you had. If there's stuff you genuinely think you overlooked and shouldn't have, then by all means, live and learn, but don't beat yourself up over the stuff you couldn't have known or reasonably guessed. You do amazing work, bro. Been with you for a while, and I don't intend on leaving. You do good work and you put a lot of care into it. Can't ask for much more. .......and if Blumhouse says they'll give you a few million bucks to do 'SWAT vs. Knockoff-FNAF' or something, holy cow, please do that, because I will watch the everloving daylights out of that.

It really sucks that Heretic was canceled and I give you the best of wishes for future projects. I was trying to figure out what the numbers at the end of the video are relating to so I did some de-cyphering and unfortunately didn’t find anything, but then I put the numbers into google earth to see if they were coordinates and they are. The coordinates are on point with a museum in Ukraine near the border to Belarus. I still don’t know if I’m getting anywhere but it will be exciting to see what’s to come next.

The other short films made were absolutely amazing, and it's going to be really sad to see this project not be completed :(

Mad respect for you for giving us a comprehensive reason and not just running away

[@brianwu3005]

I actually loved the GTA-style milsims u guys did in the earlier SCP videos, so I was wondering if u guys have thought of doing that instead of live-action.

[@nekrataali]

The one where the MTF officer just jumps off the edge and into the alternate dimension was fucking nuts. I can't believe how good those videos looked for what was essentially Machinima.

I honestly prefer those, really, am I the only one?

[@brianwu3005]

@@thatonerotom8999 I agree as well, of course with all respect to their live action efforts as well.

I look forward to seeing where you go next and plan to support you in that journey. Your films are great and I wish to seem them continue to succeed.

At the end of the day, you exhaust all options, you do everything you can, and shit just comes up short. That’s just life. We live, and we learn, and we move on. I’m disappointed to say the least, but the transparency and honesty goes a hell of a long way towards helping me and everyone else understand. It sounds like you tried literally every single avenue possible to get it to work, and it just didn’t. But there is a silver lining to this. You learned. You now understand the costs associated with what this project would have required, what future projects could require, and better ideas on how to properly market your product and make sure it gets the true funding it needs. Do I understand any of that? Absolutely not. I’m just a massive fan of overlord and and a fan of SCP in general, but I thought that any positive comment or thought in the situation can help. But let’s look at it in an even deeper light. You started with SCP re-enactments in video games, and ended up with a “medium-length” film that could rival most full length action/horror movies. That’s a huge accomplishment, and not something everyone can say. But you can. I have full faith in the fact that whatever project you work on in the future will have true love for the source material, and when love for the source is poured into a product, that product is almost always 10x better than some soulless multi-million dollar one. I dunno, I guess to summarize what I’m trying to say is thank you. Thank you for being honest and transparent, thank you for doing everything possible to keep the project afloat, and most importantly, don’t get beaten down by this. Life is full of bumps in the road. It wouldn’t be life without it. But the vehicle that is your life will still keep moving along to greener pastures.

Thanks for the update. It's sad to see it go, but understandable why. Thanks as always! You work is very good and I look forward to whatever comes next

6:25 the numbers mason, what do they mean !??!?!?!?!?!?!

[@ruinsleepless9098]

Oh man, I feel you on the whole international shipping thing, it's killer right now... I know it was said in the intro, but thanks to everyone who promoted it, I really hope to see where the aftermath of this goes, you guys have far more experience now, having been through the difficulties in this. Good luck in future endeavours, really hope to see what you come up with.

[@thikmnbg]

Keep the idea and save it for later when you can fund it

[@turbo2025]

Thank you very much for the explanation, will continue to support you in the future!

[@AnonymousOtters]

Personally, I think you may have been able to market it more if there were smaller rewards. Even something like a patch for a pledge of $25 or up might have gotten you some attention. I hope it happens in the future

[@EightballSkunkworx]

Donated to this because I'm a huge fan of your work. While I'm sad to see the vision you had won't be able to get made, I'm excited about what comes next. Looking forward to it.

[@justsimplycallmeevan5977]

Hey there fellow Evan, though the project failed, most of us probably still appreciate the effort that you and the team had put in. So, good luck on whatever project you might do in the future.

[@littlefatso]

Was literally going to pledge today, sad to hear but best of luck with future projects!!
