# Project: 863

Hello fellow people of Subject 4. This Wiki is specifically designed to help you navigate Project: 863 better. For those of you who don't know, Project: 863 is a fiction story made by Spellbound Inc. (Formally known as Hi5 Studios) The Company's CEO is Matthew Fredrick also known as Matthias. He and his team have dedicated their work to making a story so compelling it draws in the viewers and makes us happy and entertained. You can watch all the content at OVERKILL on YouTube. They also have a second channel that they started in the very beginning of season 2, where they react to theories, fan made art, and also memes. That channel is called We are 863 on YouTube.

## Format Change

Below is a message that Matthias posted on June 20, 2022 on the Spellbound Discord, regarding a major update for Project: 863.

Hey everyone , I wanted to give you a heads up of some changes that have been happening internally. I'll cut to the chase; 863 is changing formats.

### 863 Videos

What does that mean? The story will no longer be in video format on the Matthias channel. After the final episodes of Season 4 come out, theres about 2 more I believe, there will no longer be any uploads on the Matthias channel. That's a huge bummer, we know. There are a lot of reasons why, but at the end of the day, it simply wasn't sustainable, it has been losing money for over a year. If I didn't love the story so much and want it to live on so bad, I would have (should have for business sustainability) sunset the story over 6 months ago. You all know how hard we worked on this and how hard the team tried to get this to work. The reality is the format is just a bit too new on YouTube and the content is hard to approach for new viewers since is a story evolving over hundreds of episodes.

### The Story Isn't Over!

That being said, the story lives on! I didn't want to make this announcement before we could figure out how to keep this alive. We love this story so much, we still believe in its potential and we still believe in you, our community. We are investing in this story to keep it alive. The 863 story will be moving to Substack in novel form. Details will come soon, but what that means is the story is moving to written form, when members subscribe and support the story, they will be able to read a chapter every week. It will most likely be 4.99 a month, that 4.99 will help keep the story alive and we would love your support for it, about 4-5 chapters. If you cannot afford it, we totally understand, seeing as previously it was ad supported. For viewers that cannot afford, we will be releasing some canon short stories over the coming weeks on our substack for free so go ahead and subscribe for free and join the community over there at https://project863.substack.com/

### The Story

I know this changes things a lot, but we are really excited to continue the story and furthermore, this new format will allow us to tell the story in ways that weren't cost feasible before. Now you will be able to really feel the story on a new level, get inside characters heads, actually go into the past and see some of our unseen characters. The story will be written like a novel with the chapters coming out every week starting August 5th! Later on we would LOVE to release each season of chapters as a full novel if there is enough support from you guys! Since the chapters are every week, the story is still immersive to your reactions, insights, and findings! If anything it will be more immersive because we won't be stuck producing so much physical stuff, instead just writing a world we hope you will love!

### What About The Discord?

The discord isn't changing! This is still a safe place for the 863 community to theorize, converse, and have fun.

### What About The 863 Team?

Everyone's job is safe! We are all moving over to DOPE or NOPE and we will be focused on making the best videos we can for you on that channel. We have a LOT of fun videos in store for you and we really believe this is going to be the best use of our time in how we will create an immersive value centered company that delivers amazing content for our viewers.
