Hi! A shorter update this time. (I want to spend as much time animating as possible.)
The animation is going pretty well! The majority of the sequences fit together nicely now, and I've started polishing while expanding more scenes wherever needed.
I'd share a clip as usual. But I don't want to make too many spoilers before it goes out.
But the completion will still take some months.
After testing some fluid physics, animating other bodily physics, adding more scenes, changing lights, designing more monster bits, and animating, I'll still have to put the clips together, design audios, add effects, and probably talk to a voice actress a lot to explain what kind of recordings I want from her.
So here are questions for everyone:
- Would you still prefer me to update the new clips?
I was doing it more or less monthly.
Doing it also takes a bit of my productivity time away from animating (and instead doing admin).
But I also think it is probably worth it to keep having bits of something new to see occasionally rather than having it all flooded at once in the final version. (Which art is perfect anyway? Smaller bits of a larger thing still count, no?)
It could also be fun to see the improvements made with every new update, even if my gallery would be just similar images multiple times in a row.
- Or do you prefer spoiler-free, and wait until it's all finished?
- How about an update every two months, somewhat of a compromise of the other two?
I have an alternative to releasing clips, which is using stray story drafts intended for the animation (but won't be used anymore because they didn't end up building quite the right theme for me) and releasing them as completed (short) stories.
This would also strain my time and dopamine away from the actual animation, even more so than doing an admin.
But it could also be a fun way to go about the stories that otherwise won't be used and shared anywhere else.
I'm keen on any of them. My only wish is that I was made of infinity. But alas.
If I can't decide with the comments, I'll probably just juggle between them and get the feelings for them all.
But still, let me know in the comments or messages if you have a preference. The feedback will help me decide which direction to take.
Thanks!
