Hi all, earlier this month I released the first three episodes of my cartoon "The Unyielding Alchemist" in the form of a 40 minute long compilation video. I'm happy all you guys really liked it, it's currently my highest rated animation on Newgrounds and has over a thousand views. I've even seen fanart start popping up, shoutout to @Gandarga and her awesome drawing of the main villian!

If you haven't already seen it, what are you doing? go watch it!

In this update, I'll be discussing both the status of the next episodes, as well as an upcoming re-release of the 3-part premiere on Newgrounds as 3 separate videos (more on that later on in this update!)

I haven't decided when or if I will post the episodes on YouTube but if you want to see them posted there, let me know!

Status of the Next Episodes!

Episode 4 "Mechs n' Wrecks!" is already fully animated and has been for a while, however I need to re-record audio and complete editing which will take time (this process also took a long time for the first 3 episodes!) so I'll work on that once my 6 week long semester break comes in June/July, so that episode will release in August. Episode 5 is almost done too (although work is currently paused), so that episode will release only a month after Episode 4.

In the meantime here's some screenshots from the next episode as a "sneak peek"! 

A mysterious new character! What's his deal?

Alchemist confronts two alien invaders!

Who are these guys? Find out when the episode comes!

Status of Release Schedule

In the meantime, with the permission of Tom Fulp, I'll start reposting episode 1-3 as individual videos on here to lower the barrier of entry (easier for new viewers to watch 3 10-ish minute videos than one long 40 minute one!), so I'll be doing that between May and July. 

So the current season 1 schedule looks like this:

Apr - Premiere Compilation released

May - Episode 1 re-release

June - Episode 2 re-release

July - Episode 3 re-release

August - Episode 4 release

September - Episode 5 release

October - Short 1 release

November - Short 2 release

For the re-releases, I haven't picked specific release dates yet as I'm going to try to target less busy days (hard to predict when those will be!) so that we can attract new viewers more easily.
