Status update and poorly-timed setback.
🕑 Added 2025-04-03 18:48:55 +0000 UTCHey, I said I'd let you know when I've reached the next milestone (i.e. the next lewd scene) and I've done that. This lewd scene is stupid long and extensive, by the way, by my count 129 renders and 22 animations. That's a hell of a lot of work, but I hope it does a lot to make the moment not feel like a throwaway. There's a slight chance that such a long lewd scene might be overindulgent, but that's really only something I'll learn by putting it out there and getting feedback. I like to think it justifies its length.
Anyway, now for something cringe. Remember at the end of my last status update when I said I knew I'd forget to write about something, yeah. I forgot to mention that I took a little while doing commissioned animations for the game Companion of Darkness by Berkili4, and how that also dug into some development time.
Well, after doing that, Berkili4 has offered again to hire me, and I've repeatedly declined, citing that it's too time consuming and that Realm Invader needs my attention. Just over a week ago he hit me up again, this time emphasizing that he needs an animator as the other one he could rely on has health issues. I once again respectfully refused so I could work on my game, wishing Berkili4 luck in searching for another animator.
Well, he didn't find one. I'm not going to leak DMs, so you'll have to take my word for it, but the man is desperate and has pretty much exhausted all options, every animator he found either wasn't interested, or asked absurd prices.
The point I'm getting at here is that he was at his final straw and I took the offer. He largely increased how much he was willing to pay and it's clear the guy isn't trying to take advantage of me or anything. He wants 6 animations. 6, exactly. And I'm going to do them ASAP. I know this is really shitty timing after my last status update, but I want to emphasize that I'm only taking the job because he was out of options. 6 animations aren't many but a setback is a setback, and I'm sorry it's come to this in a direct contradiction of the declarations I made in my last update. As soon as the job is done I'm going straight back into Realm Invader.

Ayo np man. Get that bag. I'll be here regardless. It is kinda funny to see this now, after I played through most of CoD on Friday lol. Hope it goes well!

All good. I might actually get back to Companion of Darkness knowing that you worked on some of the animations
