Plans for a TTS error series created by Gemaconda date back to February 2014. A video introduction on his secondary YouTube channel teased a TTS series then known as ''GoAnimate Windows Errors''. However, plans for this series were scrapped soon after. Following this, Gemaconda continued to hint at plans for another TTS series concept.

In November 2014, a second attempt at an error series was made with the sucessful uploading of ''Windows XP Errors'' Episode 1. After that, Gemaconda posted on Skype that if he could find a Microsoft Sam online voice on his Chromebook, ''Windows XP Errors'' would then be cancelled in favor of the other series. There was no online MS Sam voice at that time. On December 10, 2014, in a skype group, series developer [[User:AceOfSpadesProduc100 TV|AceOfSpadesProduc100]] suggested that TheVideoKid782 could use IVONA voices to create a TTS series. In the next comment in the group, TheVideoKid782 approved the concept, and produced the series premiere. The episode was uploaded a few minutes later.

At the end of the 2010s decade, there were talks of the show finally moving to a Windows laptop. Nearly all of them fell through - until 2021. However, the computer sucked. It did enough, though, to get the ''IVONA Eric Reads Funny Signs'' finale produced in a Windows application in March 2021. It would go on to be the only Windows production in show history.
On May 4, 2020, a Chromebook, originally shared, was brought to the house. However, production has functioned differently from how it did in 2016-17, namely with editing moving from Powtoon to Kinemaster.

It is believed that the aforementioned RP chat disappeared from chat histories due to groundings and loss of interest. Additionally in July 2017, TheVideoKid782 made a permanent switch from Skype to Discord. While there is a #roleplay channel on his server without a storyline and IVONA Eric character emojis exist, it is unknown where the future of the roleplay remains. As of December 2018, there are no plans to continue this roleplay series.
