Thank you and May the Fourth be with you
🕑 Added 2020-05-04 21:28:13 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Thank you for the continued support! I'm very sorry that I haven't been able to be more interactive or respond to the many messages I've gotten. My anxiety has been unusually heavy as of late, what's going on in the world and all, and I hope that it'll ease up a bit soon so that I can get back to my normal self.
Work is still coming along and the animation looks to be about the size of Shrunk and Drunk Part One when finished, which is more than I had initially intended. I'm at over 2,5 min of animation already and that's without any fluff.
Speaking of which, as some of you probably already know, Shrunk and Drunk was taken down from PH. There was a DMCA-claim against it but it doesn't say why. I uploaded a version without music and hopefully that one will stay up. The original is still available for download from here.
I've posted a work in progress preview separately where I showcase some physics I've added to the latest animation, where a will-be prey-item gets shrunk out of his clothes! It's pretty cool and new to my work.
Thanks to your generous support, a few weeks ago I received my first ever VR headset. The technology is amazing! And it has so much potential for our little corner of the internet. That is definitely something I'll look into in the future, once the software and such has matured and the hardware gone more mainstream. I'm considering having a go at a 360-VR earlier, though, to test the waters.
Anyway, first things first; I've got to finish "Force Feeding" and then we can look to future projects.
May the Fourth be with you, everyone!
Cheers,

Thanks for all of you're hard work despite everything that's been going on in the world.. Hang in there! Hope to see this new production soon. Guess it gives us something to look forward to. Take Care.

I am a little new here, but I sincerely hope that you are doing alright Wiking! You do outstanding work that makes some triple A companies look like amateurs 😋

I hope you can enjoy the nice wheather if you have it, Wiking! :)

Hope you're looking after yourself as best you can. Things are super weird right now and it's ok to feel all kinds of off about that. On the DMCA stuff, apparently Eskoz had some videos taken down too and he doesn't even use music!

Damn right. I thought it would be at best an impressive tech demo like so many other VR "games" but it's not. It's actual goddamn Half-Life, but those zombie corpses are all gooey and damp and right up in your face!

Be sure to check out Half-Life: Alyx. That game is amazing. The only VR masterpiece (so far). It would be a waste to have a headset and not try it out, it feels like VR exists just so we can play Half-Life: Alyx. It might not be that inspiring when comes to making a pre-rendered monoscopic 360 video, but... But it's 98% positive on Steam! Please! Give it a shot!!
Ooo did you get an oculus quest? VR certainly is amazing! Like you said a quick maybe 20/30 second POV video in future would be a good way to 'experience' it. Good idea with the 360 degree though as people with phones can experience it too

Love it, but pleeaaaase take it easy, I mean it! Getting work done faster is not nearly as important as your mental health. I would rather wait an extra month knowing you feel better than getting it early with you having a nervous breakdown. I know that most will agree with me here

Hi Wiking!! So hopeful that you can feel better with this circumstances. Your work is the probe about your dedication and so much time. I am so glad to be a little part of your work and the thing that you like. Where could I download the original version of Shrunk and Drunk?
