Production
The first draft of The Meeting, then titled "Pilot," was written on May 12, 2019, the same day Glitch Out!!! began. The original draft was written by ColorsphereJAD and CheezyVids, written in parallel to the original SMG4 story. Following the transition to Colorsphere however, the episode, along with the rest of the season, experienced major rewrites. The episode was animated in a span of 5 months from January to May. The episode was originally slated to release on May 15, 2020, but due to multiple errors and unfinished animation, the episode went into overtime, finishing around midnight. The episode released with many sound errors and animation glitches.

Trivia

 * The original ending had Desti trapping Meggy in a paint bucket and dropping it in a sewer, where it eventually surfaced in the kingdom, to set up for the events of SMG4's "If Mario Was in Splatoon." However, this ending was abandoned after Glitch Out!!! was rebranded to Colorsphere Studios.
