Upcoming projects - November 2024

General Announcement

Previously, the "Baldsverse" and the "Chef Cinematic Universe" were two separate but overlapping continuities. It has been decided that as the two fictional worlds have grown, it is unsustainable and too confusing to maintain them as separate universes, so it has been decided that they will be merged. There was an existing multiversal event in the Balds lore known as "The Apocalyph" (Inspired by Chris Chan's dimensional Merge), however in terms of writing, there has only ever been before, during, and long after the Apocalyph, so it has been decided that canonically, as a result of the Apocalyph, the CCU and Baldsverse have been merged into one universe, and this extends in both directions time-wise (I.E, the chefs have always been in the baldsverse and the balds have always been in the CCU, they just never met). In future writings, there will be crossover, and as a general rule of thumb, everything previously written is still canon (unless it conflicts, which nothing seems to so far, but if it does just ignore it lmao)


Videos

Scrannin' with Jack: The Chicken Championship (Previously: Scrannin' With Jack: Jollibee) (In production)

Channel: Jack Lad

Due to several unexpected delays, and the prioritisation of other projects, this project still does not have a release date. However, the scope and scale of the project has been massively increased, instead of focusing on just one establishment, Jack tries chicken from multiple places across Liverpool


The Torture Express 3 (Planned)

Channel: The Skengman

The Skengman will be finishing the trilogy of his classic series "The Torture Express" with an action-packed finale, involving modified office chairs to endure a dangerous course. This project is still in the planning stage


Movies

Taking the lead: A Bald’s Story (In production)

Director: Jack Lad

No new developments have been made on this project due to the focus being put entirely on the Balds Christmas Carol


Games

The Balds: A Battle against Communism (In production)

Lead Dev: Jack Lad

The First game in the BaldsVerse is an RPG created with RPG Maker MV. The game will portray the balds fighting against “Comrade Cyka” as he attempts to conquer the North West of England. The game will be made up of maps of different scales, from "wild areas" to smaller towns full of houses, all of which will be explorable, and packed full of secrets. The game will be packed full of visual gags and jokes, to reflect the comedy of the BaldsVerse and almost every item will be interactive. In the game, you take on the role of Cecil Cecil and recruit the other balds to join your party and battle Comrade Cyka and his underlings. Since the last update, the map has undergone a third and final complete redesign and expansion, and the story has been rewritten from the ground up to ensure a cohesive story that will feel like a lived-in world as opposed to a game written and made during its production.


The Balds: Adventures in Plumbing (Planned)

A second game is planned which will use the RPG In a Box platform. This was originally planned to be created using the unreal engine but as of the moment, we lack the experience to bring this about. The game will feature an open-world environment where the player can take quests from the Balds characters. The game will allow players to become the character Cecil Cecil in a 3D environment. The game will feature Cecil travelling to a Hogwarts-style boarding school, where he will meet many balds characters, but instead of a school of magic, it's a plumbing school. Since the last update, the games' platform and scope have been changed.
