Yea, kind of the coolest episode that's ever been done thanks to the fancy connections of Josh (aka "Babyface", aka PsychoGoldfish) (ps. he knows Tom Fulp)

YEARS improving and putting the literal brain matter to the grindstone just to refurbish, refine, and redirect.

The greatest thing MADNESS: Project Nexus has achieved in the past seven(ish) years is the sharpening of Krinkels and The-Swain's minds and skillsets. Having to stew a game over the course of 3/4 of a decade with an idea that continues improving, adjusting, and evolving to become a living, crafted handiwork thanks to the willpower of the developers wanting to deliver to the fans.

We're talking work that hasn't been paid for yet being given to this love child like a coparenting agreement.

Krinkels comes into the fray having celebrated Madness Day 2021 and with only one goal in mind: releasing MADNESS: Project Nexus within the next few days. A culmination of an elaborate project expanded across a large learning curve with the love from what Madness represents to a community that finally, officially, gets to see the light of day.

The-Swain peerlessly accepted this project onto himself knowing full-well that at least the next few years (every couple of years) would be dedicated to improving this project. Much of what Michael Swain's direction has been focused towards is within the reticent of MPN. What does it mean to handcraft a unique experience? He's here to tell us.

AlmightyHans is fresh off the scene of their Madness: Project Nexus Release Date Trailer and is ready to crack some skulls and roll some heads just to get into character for playing as the live action version of Hank, the beloved icon we've all come to know. Does this mean we'll have more Madness Live Action shorts? Maybe a movie? Only time will tell.

(InputUnknown) Chase has the common courtesy to *gush* about Madness with us and go over the challenges of shooting a scene in a laundry room and spending 2 months or so editing ketchup on a hotdog. Directors, filmmakers, friends, two of the minds behind Skel Studio (Hans and Chase) explain their ambition and love for Madness's various aspects with the Madness crew, Krinkels and Swain themselves.

Huh, wdym you didn't know gunpotence was a word?
