Just a bit of a visual update and some behind the scenes footage.
Hello. I also like looking at illuminated screens as well as pressing buttons. We have a lot in common!

Love this series. It gives me a nostalgic, happy, "sit on the couch in front of the TV" feeling each time I watch it. If you ever need some kind of help with this series I'd be more than glad to try. Be it musical or financial.
Let me know.

...which brings up an important point: can you get ad-revenue from posting mp4 videos here?
As someone who grew up with crystal radio kits, I sincerely hope your clunky hardware will be the least of your worries in the near future.

Yup. i've made a couple bucks from Newgrounds so far; I just don't see a way to do inlaid video ads to help revenue further. I also monetize YouTube where I can; the funds from video sites cumulatively is enough to offset the cost of our website; not much else.
a *GOOD* working system for Delura is going to be around $2500, the plan is to set the crowdfunding goal to about $4000, and use a portion of the extra funds to update our software and give our contributors a small reward as a thanks. Assuming the crowdfunding falls through, I believe I may be able to get an acceptable alternative system for around $600 if I transpose the graphics card from my old system to the new one. At least i've already received a few donations since I started EP 005.03 totaling $220, so I may be able to reach the alternative goal over time as long as I can build enough from revenue sources.
Another source of revenue is non-intrusive banner ads on the Delura website, I'm just waiting to finish EP 005.03 to put them in.
Before content-sales can happen (premium videos/shorts, extra episodes, etc), the hardware absolutely has to be replaced. I'm pretty confident that this will become the largest income-earning aspect of our series once in place... I want to stress that this will be done on top of what we already do (comics, video installments, frequent updates).
