What's going on with the release schedule?
The release schedule since the start of The Castle Eschatonica has been really erratic and seemingly getting worse. I understand that things happen, but assuming that the aim is still to release a new episode every Thursday, there have only been 4 episodes out of the last 8 that were fewer than five days late, none that have been on time, and 7 out of the last 15 weeks have been skipped, by my count:
Thursday 12th February: The Castle Eschatonica 01 released on Feb 14th, 2 days late.
Thursday 19th February: The Castle Eschatonica 02 released on Feb 25th, 11 days later, 6 days late.
Thursday 26th February: The Castle Eschatonica 03 released on Mar 1st, 4 days later, 3 days late.
Thursday 5th March: The Castle Eschatonica 04 released on Mar 8th, 7 days later, 3 days late.
Thursday 12th March: The Castle Eschatonica 05 released on Mar 15th, 7 days later, 3 days late.
Thursday 19th March: Skipped week.
Thursday 26th March: The Castle Eschatonica 06 released on March 31st, 16 days later, 5 days late.
Thursday 2nd April: The Castle Eschatonica 07 released on April 7th, 7 days later, 5 days late.
Thursday 9th April: Skipped week.
Thursday 16th April: The Castle Eschatonica 08 released on April 21st, 14 days later, 5 days late.
Thursday 23rd April: Skipped week.
Thursday 30th April: Skipped week.
Thursday 1st May: Skipped week; according to Bluesky, a new episode should have released this week.
Thursday 8th May: Skipped week.
Thursday 14th May: Skipped week.
The only communication has been the post two weeks ago about the episode coming out on 1st May, which didn't happen. Everything else has been coming out more or less on schedule, with the usual variation, except for Media Club Plus, which is between seasons but was coming out fairly reliably during that time.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is everything okay?
