Morevna: How do we deal with spoilers?

[Posted March 11, 2015 by n8willis]

The Morevna project is developing an open-source animated series using a suite of open-source graphics applications. But working in the opening poses an interesting question: how does one cope with spoilers leaking out to fans of the project? At the Morevna blog, Konstantin Dmitriev explains the process chosen by the project. "The content that classified as containing spoilers is published on the website, but hidden (locked) from the public view. When the new episode is released, all hidden content related to it becomes publicly visible. On our Patreon page we have introduced a new category of supporters – Premium Patrons. Premium Patrons have a special privilege for an early access to the hidden content before the release." Morevna only decided to move away from a feature-length production toward an episodic framework in January 2015, so it will be interesting to see how the new plan plays out.
