UPDATE: This episode has been tampered with by mysterious forces. Click here for the canon version.

This is the sixth episode of Roasted Meatloaf, originally made in 2023 (though I think production started in 2021 when the fifth episode was being made.) After the efforts put into the previous one, I decided to make this one a bit simpler. Despite that, the methods of production still evolved a bit.

This episode moved away from recordMyDesktop for the screen-recorded sequences and instead utilized Deepin Screen Recorder, which at the time I apparently had no idea apparently originates from a Chinese Linux Distribution named Deepin, which was previously based primarily on Ubuntu and Debian. I'm an Ubuntu user myself, so I guess that's why I got it through the software center around that time.

The graphics for this episode shifted back into primarily being made using GIMP. However, Inkscape still remained involved, both for reused elements such as the Inkscape version of my character as well as some newly made assets.

Jeff returns as a main role, although he has no lines. Alongside Jeff's return to the spotlight, some elements from previous episodes also play a part. Additionally, this episode confirms that Jeff is also called "J. J." sometimes, which I developed upon him theoretically being a "Jeff J." of some kind.

I experimented a bit with using 3D Blender graphics within the 2D world for one part. There was a bit of an animation error with it, but apparently I couldn't bother myself to fix it so I just put up a sign on the wall in the previous shot that explains it in-universe.

Speaking of Blender, I've decided to pivot from using Clipchamp to make the credits and re-renders for these version to using Blender for those tasks instead. I just sort of felt like pivoting towards a somewhat better way of editing things. However, I did write out the credits in Clipchamp before deciding to switch to Blender, and I had to consult that so I could copy over the text, so Clipchamp is still credited for having some kind of involvement.

Oh also the opening logo text slightly changed again for this episode. I guess I kind of had to do that because it opens on a white background so no one could see it if there was no outline, but the addition of an outline will also remain in use for later episodes.

That's the bulk of the details behind this episode I guess. Enjoy if you'd like, don't if you'd rather not.
