Emergency Update on Jinx! To the Bunker, people!
🕑 Added 2020-12-22 19:39:39 +0000 UTCSo, got some news this morning regarding Dorn, our lovely VA for Jinx, who gave what I believe was a stellar, accurate performance in Jinx Tickles Akali.
https://twitter.com/DornVa/status/1341394554390507521
She has injured her back, and is unable to complete her current recording projects, of which Jinx Machine Tickling was one. I have been working on the block out, modeling, etc, and expected to get the audio within the next few days when this news hit.
Our primary concern is making sure Dorn is healthy! She's a talented VA, and a good person.
Of course, this does leave us in a pickle. I would rather not re-cast this role, as she gave what I thought was a borderline iconic performance (at least in our little niche here), but I always want to provide the content that is voted on!
A possible plan of action is to present another vote based around a machine tickling scenario for the current big project. The scenario would be the same across options, and the character would be up for vote. This is so that I can start work immediately on modeling the scene while the character vote is on-going. Due to this, I also think it's likely I use Overwatch characters, so that I can set the style in stone.
Assuming Dorn is healthy by the time this project is complete, Jinx Machine Tickling will then be the next big project, and I will hold a new vote for the smaller project that period, to make sure backers still have a chance to get their input.
Given the circumstances, does this sound like a reasonable plan of action?
If so, look for this vote to go up today/tomorrow. And if you're on Twitter, be sure to send Dorn some support! While it sounds like a full recovery is likely, back injuries are no fun, and I'm sure she would appreciate it.

Agreed! Take her time and come back healthy. Thanks, Bill.
BaronStrap
Will do! And yup, that's the plan! Will have more info going up soon.

Yeah her getting better is DEFINITELY the priority here. We won't try to rush her in the lest bit then!
Costa
Oh shit, that's awful! I hope she has a speedy recovery. Let her know all your/and her fans are rooting for her. I feel as if putting this particular project on pause until she is better is fair. Start work on something else in the meantime? I gather that's what you were saying, no?

Sure thing. Hope I can inspire you. For now, please pass on our love and support to Dorn.
BaronStrap
Same!
BaronStrap
Thanks, Dark! Yeah, all in due time.
BaronStrap
Thanks for the understanding, Marvin! We're all pulling for Dorn. I'll keep your feedback in mind.
BaronStrap
For sure! I see her coming back strong.

Praying for her speedy recovery! A new scenario seems like the best option for now.
Dark Tickler
Health must always come first. Jinx isnt going anywhere. Hope she heals up well.

That sounds very fair. Health and support is a lot more important that amazing tickle videos. I'm very happy to wait. An in between mini video (maybe a nice desperation tickles one) would be amazing and very fair.

Hope Dorn a safe and speedy recovery! Another tickle machine scenario would be amazing!
