So that means paid gigs come first for our team. The holidays didn't help either. We know how to take hard hits with criticism, even if it does hurt. ;) But thanks for coming to our defense! Kez, no problem. We value criticism, no matter how harsh it may seem to be. You've brought up a few good points for us, especially the one about the pacing, which is one of the reasons why we took longer for this edit (we decided to go back and re-work it). Keep watching guys! Much more content to come! Be sure to subscribe to keep up to date! Early January will be our 2nd episode. :) *Vulcan Sign* May the force be with you!

I didn't mean to be offensive, sorry if it came out like that! And I totally understand the concept of post-production and how time consuming it can be, I've been working it this field for 15 years now, trust me, I know! Cheers everyone Happy New Year, I wish all the best for Geeks Underground! I apologize! I didn’t mean to be offensive, sorry if it came out like that!

Not to mention I believe the people working on this are not getting paid, meaning you have to factor in real lives, jobs, holidays ect.. Its a really heavy time of the year for all people of all walks of life. Anyways I just wanted to say this because I feel people are being quite harsh here. Don't bite the hand that feeds! Be patient and respectful. There is such thing as constructive criticism and non - constructive.

It will be out shortly at the beginning of January. Our plans were to release it every month, however things came up with our post production team that were unforeseen, and this episode had to be held back. But feel assured that we have been working on it non-stop, recording ADR, editing, music comp, sound design, and some issues with our CC. We're trying to make it the best it can be. We apologize for not keeping everyone informed. We've also had a lot of discussions concerning what you've just mentioned, so yes we understand and we know this. In fact we just shot something 2 days ago for extra bonus content while our editor and sound guy have been working away vigorously wearing themselves down. Thanks for your comments! Be sure to keep things civil though, we're doing this for you guys. ;) Thanks Kez for your comments. It will be out shortly at the beginning of January.

It's been more than a month and a half now, keep your audience posted on what's going on. So far you guys are acting like amateurs. I say two weeks is the maximum you can wait before posting another episode, it looks like you guys are unprepared and don't know how to handle it. Everyone is busy doing other things, but you HAVE to commit to what you start, it's not fair for anyone. Just thought you would like to know, keep up the good work, but be intelligent about your marketing, IT IS VITAL!

Thanks for the input! We're about to get Episode 2 out soon and all these comments are really helping us along. We're also thinking about the entire season's pacing altogether so hopefully the whole thing will be enjoyable when it's completed, cheers! @ G.bei.jor.ann & Kez — love the handles btw!

The editing has to be tighter. I showed it to a bunch of people, and the same comment keeps on coming back. The editing. I think you have to do some serious work on tightening everything if you want people to be interested more seriously. I would get an outside opinion, or get someone else to do the editing. It's sometimes hard to be completely neutral when it's your baby, but trust me, it's got major potential, follow my advice. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what happens to these guys. When is the next one coming out?! We're only here to help. Hey guys, I believe you did a great job, but I agree with G.bei.jor.ann… it DOES drag. The editing has to be tighter.

The Director of Photography also did a great job. The logo is simple, yet adequate. I absolutely love the music. I can't wait for another episode. Great work, guys.
