🎬 Production Updates

🔘 Episode 8 is officially about halfway complete! We’re on track to release it on Monday, September 22 on YouTube, right alongside the launch of our next Kickstarter campaign (more details on that shortly). That means early access will roll out as follows:

• Overlord Members → Saturday, 9/20

• Monarch Members & previous Kickstarter Backers → Sunday, 9/21

• Public YouTube Release → Monday, 9/22

As always, these dates are subject to change should we reach 100 paying Patreon members. Speaking of which ...

🔘 Patreon Goals
We’re always looking for ways to improve your Patreon experience and incentivize membership. Patreon is truly the lifeline of Reality Resort, and we want to keep rewarding your support with early access, bonus content, and more.

Our current goal is to reach 100 paying members. Once we do, we’ll be making some exciting tier upgrades:

• Veteran Tier will receive 24-hour early access to all content

• Monarch Tier will receive 48-hour early access

• Overlord Tier will receive 72-hour early access

If you’ve been thinking about joining, or just want to help spread the word, now is a great time. Your support directly fuels the show and helps us keep this series alive. Use code ‘RESORT10’ for 10% off your first month or code ‘RESORT30’ for 30% off an annual membership!

🚀 Kickstarter Campaign #2: Launching 9/22

We’re excited to officially share that Reality Resort’s next Kickstarter campaign launches on Monday, September 22nd, alongside the YouTube premiere of Episode 8! This campaign’s target goal is $10,000 to fund Episode 11 (a musical extravaganza!), with the underlying goal of funding as many episodes as possible so we can continue bringing this season to life exactly as envisioned.
(As a reminder, Ep11-18 are between 28-32 minutes long to accommodate both competitions. This means episodes are inherently more expensive)

Why another Kickstarter? The short answer: animation is expensive. Every frame you see on screen represents hours of work from a team of talented artists. Our goal has always been to pay our team fairly for their time and talent and ideally increase rates in the future, not cut corners or slash pay. Each episode requires real resources to produce, and crowdfunding is the only realistic way a small indie project like this can survive.

We know episodes take time to come out, and we completely understand that may be frustrating. The truth is, unlike some other projects you may follow online, we don’t have a long runway of episodes completed ahead of time or a massive ongoing budget to fall back on. We started Reality Resort as a passion project with big ambitions, and while we may have launched grander than most small teams would, it’s because we didn’t want to sacrifice the scope or quality of the story we’re telling. The quality that you’ve come to know and love takes time, and we’re committed to protecting it.

This funding goes directly into production. The more we raise, the faster we can produce and the closer we get to a point where the show can sustain itself without needing to rely entirely on campaigns like this. Until then, this community-driven effort is how we keep the lights on. And in many ways, it’s also a celebration - every campaign becomes a chance for the fandom to rally together, show support, and feel a part of the project’s story.

We also want to acknowledge that crowdfunding asks a lot, especially in today’s economy. That’s why we put careful thought into our rewards, because anyone who pledges is giving us their hard-earned money, and we want to give back in ways that feel meaningful while keeping things manageable for our small team.

As a reminder, Episodes 7–10 were fully funded from the previous campaign. We’re choosing to launch this new campaign now, before Episode 10 is released, so we don’t have to halt production or risk major delays down the line. This is a labor of love that costs real money and takes real time - until you’ve been through it yourself, it’s hard to understand just how much goes into it. Indie animation moves slower, but your support is what makes it move at all.

We’re endlessly grateful for your patience, love, and belief in Reality Resort. With your help, we can not only keep this story alive, but also grow it into something bigger than we ever imagined. We can’t wait to share more details in the coming weeks and to show you what’s in store for Episode 11, our most ambitious chapter yet!
