Road to Alpha 1! (Blog #2)
🕑 Added 2025-06-04 18:02:00 +0000 UTChey guys welcome to wednesdays blog update!
I HAVE DREADFUL NEWS D:
Since Sunday, I wasn't as productive as I thought I'd be... across Monday and Tuesday I was just finishing up what I set out for myself on Sunday. To my credit, I haven't done facial animations for almost half a year, so I did have to relearn a bit how they work for Futabanana. It is also a bit of a lengthy process, every different expression has to have an alternate blink phase, a closed mouth, slightly open mouth, and wide open mouth... as well as different jaw movement animation frames depending on how FAT they double chin is.
I also made it a bit harder on myself by giving her extra faces (see bottom right)
I am happy with how the faces came out, but YES I am still REELING with how long this took... At this rate, I need to spend Thursday working 20 hours straight.
Wait a minute
BOOM!
Tomorrow in the Fatsona server, big metrack is gonna be streaming king gizzard and the lizard wizard's whole massive ass discography (including the as of now unreleased Phantom Island), and working all the while. It may not be the most fun or engaging event I've hosted, but if you're looking for some background music to play all day while you do whatever you gotta do- look no further.
I'm gonna be working on various different Fatsona things, I still have to make another Character's render for Futaba's story, and also draw Chihaya's other chickens. I suspect these wont take the full 20 hours, so I might also work on some menu screens that aren't quite done yet.
Speaking of the Fatsona server, I posted a big fat futaba final render tummy in the #spoilers channel. Here's a picture of a sand dune.
Agenda for today: give Nym a facelift. Past Thursday, I gotta get on the writing thats still incomplete. I also gotta find a new voice actress for Bathyal, and send in new lines to Nym's. Waiting on work from others might be kinda time sensitive so I gotta judge what's needed for the build before going in widdit.
Thank you for reading, see you guys Thursday in stream and I'll be posting a new blog Friday :D- Metrack
