Update 21: Progress
Added 2023-03-01 15:36:11 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Being a mid-project update, there is usually not a great deal to talk about, I've decided to split up the edging lab into 3 pieces due to the added complexity of what was happening.
In the original box the machine followed a fairly standard pattern, only slightly changing timing depending on the voice work I got back from the VA's
For this revisit, I wanted to take the experience up a notch, and since the theme is edging, I wanted the machine to be responding to the reactions of the individual, we're here to imagine what a sophisticatedly perfect edging experience would be like.

The original box was based on a much, much more limited budget you see, so I had to try and make sure I got as much mileage out of each persons involvement, in this case the sound designer, so I was careful to not change the timing too much between the different girls visits.
This one however, is much more tailored to each girls reaction, we spent a lot of time imagining how each character might challenge or be challenged by such an experience, so each of the girls visits would be markedly unique.

Hence the decision to split it up a bit, It took about a month, end to end, to model, texture, work out the little issues that crop up, animate and render mercy's section, I'm just waiting on the SFX for it now which I should expect end of this week/beginning of next depending on the sound designer.
Mercy's section runs just shy of 8 minutes, so she will be first, then Ashe, then Sombra, Each one will be about that long, maybe a bit shorter maybe a bit longer.
Once Sombra's is done, I will also release a supercut, which will be all 3 girls being edged respectively in the order I'd originally intended for the entire experience.

Of course, this isn't just edging: With each girl receiving an ending of some kind at the end of their respective experiences.
It's a very exciting project, and Improves on the original box in every way, I hope you will all enjoy it! And you should get your first taste of it very soon.
In other news
Since I have some downtime whilst I wait for more voice work and finalisation of some scripts, I have started another little project to work on in the mean time.

Extremely WIP
Spider gwen, milked by aimee, using tentacles, I'm intending on this being a very short piece, a few minutes max, so I can get it done within a week or so. I'm just making use of time that I'd otherwise just be waiting for other bits of work.
Thank you all again for another month of overwhelming support! More updates as they come!

2023-03-02 10:10:14 +0000 UTCLove the idea. Just not a fan of mouth/face coverings. It hides half the face, prevents talking, makes vocals muffled and limits character facial expression. I loved the full visual and verbal feedback in AIMEE vs Mercy and Ashoka's last one had some good expressions. Of course I'll still watch these though.. ;)

2023-03-01 23:29:37 +0000 UTCWell. Once the last one is ready. Everything is ready. No reason that sombra can't also be on its own and part of the supercut at the same time.

2023-03-01 23:26:18 +0000 UTCWill each person have a separate release, with the supercut coming once all of them are done, or will they all be released when the supercut is completely?
