Bacon Wrapped Avocado

Happy holidays or winter break or whatever you might have the chance to celebrate or enjoy this season!

Santa’s got his list this time of year. At Bacon Wrapped Avocado, we’ve got a few of our own. We’re checking them all twice (or thrice or whatever 4x would be). We’re knocking out bugs, cleaning up environments, smoothing transitions and movements, and beginning some of the prep work for our NEXT episode.

We’re also setting up our merchandise store. Keep an eye out for shop.baconwrappedavocado.com to go live sometime this month. We’re starting out with a handful of products, but will be adding to them as we find things we like, so if there’s something you’d really like to see, let us know!

We’ll also be launching a short monthly email newsletter in January. If you want to be included, let us know that, too.

Lots going on. Lots to celebrate. Lots to look forward to next year. Grateful for all those who love us and encourage us! May you be surrounded by the same!

We’ve had a lot of fun…and a lot of frustration. Sounds like every creative endeavor, doesn’t it? Every time we think we can move something into the DONE pile, it seems to develop never-seen-before bugs. Yet–we ARE making progress (even if some of it is just getting back to where we thought we were the week before). We had a team meeting in an updated version of our app, with two new levels added, including our lobby level. We have more menus, more polished animations, new characters and a more robust backend.

We also have more samples of MERCH. We’ve been testing out designs for t-shirts (short- and long-sleeved), sweatshirts and glasses. We have several that we love and they’ll be showing up here SOON.

Can’t wait to show you everything!

Ok, so the “part one” back in June turned into a whole summer disappearing. We were hoping to have reached a milestone with our demo before the end of that month, but forgot to take into account the more frenetic pace of a short summer term of graduate school, travel, kids at home, etc. We did make an enormous amount of progress on our demo this summer though. We now have a rough draft of the complete animation for 11 characters, the food truck area is done, the house is decorated, users can enter nicknames and room names to hang out with their friends. Everyone has done an amazing job. I love our team!

We’re also re-vamping our “Flippity Flops” channel. We spent a lot of time thinking it over and we really want to consolidate our efforts under one theme. Soon we’ll put up more behind-the-scenes peeks at our motion capture and animation process, but they will have a different format and a different name. No worries though–we’ll definitely link to it from here so you can easily find it.

For the same reason, we’ll be replacing our iFilmFlops t-shirts with Bacon Wrapped Avocado shirts. We’ll post the new designs soon. Let us know if you’d like one or if you think one of our other characters should also get their own shirt. The Hand has one, soon BWAHAHA will too, but if you’d rather have the Corazons or Mum or ZBBBD, shoot us an email from the contact section at the bottom of the page. If we get enough response, we might make some available for purchase. (Right now you pretty much have to work for us to get one.)

Keep an eye peeled for updates! It’s getting exciting over here.
