Update (September 2025)
🕑 Added 2025-09-17 14:31:13 +0000 UTCFirst and foremost, my apologies for the lack of posts so far this month. I've been hammering on with the first shot for the upcoming release, and am finally nearing the tail end of work on that.
For the sake of visual clarity, I added an intermediary shot, which grew in complexity as it progressed. Given the amount of additions made to the initial board, my earlier hopes of having the release complete (excluding face animation) by the end of this month is null.
With that in mind, my plan for the rest of this month is to complete this current shot, with the new face implemented to get that long overdue demonstration of the rig in action. It'll be about 10 seconds give or take, though I hope post reveal the complexity required to have the sequence flow smoothly will somewhat justify the shorter length.
From there onward, there will be two transition shots, each a little over 5 seconds in length (potentially longer, but definitely no less) to complete, then one slightly longer sequence at the end, which lasts about 15 seconds or so.
Once that is complete, it'll be a process of applying variance to the looping sequences, such that they dont appear mechanical or rigid. At this point, I'll have a final length drawn for this part, and will be able to begin collaborating with VAs to begin the audio process.
As a very conservative estimate, all animation should be concluded by the early November for this part's release, at which point it'll be a case of liasing for audio+post production. When that time comes, I can put it up for a vote whether people would prefer to wait for audio or have an earlier release while audio is pending.
I'll be announcing the release publicly closer to the time, so do not by any means feel obligated to stay subbed for that. Furthermore, the video will be available for anyone that's been subbed at any point post 2024, regardless of duration. Patreon is a dreadful platform and doesnt have a specific way to do this, so just dm me when that time comes and I'll send a link direct.
Thank you again for your continued patience.

I think you're too hard on yourself. I think most of us have already said that we're 100% fine with you taking your time, and I can't think that's changed too much. Your work has been worth the wait so far, I'm cool waiting.
