## History

The Family was created on August 14, 2019. Spindash originally created 2 characters: Gavin and Max. He also made a female character, and some parents for Gavin and Max. These three were going to be the main characters. Spindash spent months thinking of episode ideas. It wasn't until November 7, 2019 when he made the idea known to his friends. He made a script for the first episode, and sent it to his friends, which got positive feedback. When Spindash told his cousin, his cousin said he wanted to be a brother, along with his sister. This created Kris and Aly. In December 2019, Spindash and his cousin created the YouTube channel known as 'Spindash Studios'. They uploaded an announcement on the series. This ended 2019.

In March 2020, Spindash finally started animating. He animated for a while until April. He got back into animating on May, and stopped in July. He got back into animating in late August. He finally finished in September, and uploaded it on September 7, 2020. He soon started animating Episode 2, and took a break until December 2020. He was halfway through by the end of 2020.

In February 2021, it was announced The Family Episode 2 would be continued. It was soon released later that month. Later that week, he started Episode 3. But then, the data loss struck. Whenever Spindash had to put up his iPad, all the data would be lost. This caused the episode to be rushed. Spindash uploaded a video in May 2021 saying that Episode 3 will be shorter than Episode 1 and 2. Even though it was rushed, it didn't do so bad, and Spindash's cousin complimented him on the fact that it was still good even after being rushed.

Hours after the release of Episode 3, Spindash began work on Episode 4, and it was said that it would release on July 4, as it was a 4th of July special. 10 days later, it was announced 50 seconds of the animation was done. On July 3, part of the script was revealed, revealing thst Hailey's voice would finally be revealed in this episode, as well as a new design for Gavin and Kris' bedroom and original concept art for a water balloon fight from November 2019.

Soon on July 25, Episode 4 was delayed to August. Around 2 weeks later, it was revealed that Episode 1 will get a remaster, Episode 4 will release soon, and Season 2 is cancelled. Finally, on the first anniversary of the series, Episode 4 was finally released. Soon after, the script for Episode 5 began production. On September 29, the script was finished, and animation began on October 2nd.

On March 25, 2022, the release date for Episode 5 was announced, being June 26, 2022. Since then, little progress has been made due to Spindash's busy schedule, including school and the Five Nights at Wolfie's Remaster. Unfortunately, The Family Episode 5 was delayed to an unknown date. During this time though, Spindash had cast a new voice for Hailey, and some animation had been done as well. However, Spindash soon did a face reveal and announced that the episode will not be animated, but instead an audio drama. The Episode was released on November 25, 2022. It was received well among his friends and co-workers.
