Animation Update

Hi Patrons, here's a frosty update on the progress for GG Story 0, which is now 59% done overall. There's been a slowdown in "film output" since we're now tackling some of the most technically complex scenes in the production.

The keyframe density for the current sequences hover around 60-70%, which means for every 24 frames per second of animation, about 14-16 of them are unique drawings. The backgrounds are also going through some heavy movement, making the whole section dizzy-ling dynamic (and expensive!).

Still, the team and I are pumping frames out with pace. Everyday a little more of the assignment board is converted green.

New Blog Post

The other night I decided to finish up a blog-post that had been sitting in draft form for several months now. I talk about the paradox of learning things, and why I don't write as many "motivational" blog-posts these days:

Stream Holiday Update

A lot of you already know that I update the Twitch stream with Christmas themed stuff, so just take a look at some pretty pictures and screenshots:

Annual Membership Offer Idea

Later this month, toward the end of 2020, I'll be enabling Patreon's new "Annual Membership" feature, which allows you guys to pledge and receive full year's worth of perks and updates. It'll help save on transaction fees and I think comes at a slight discount(?).

To promote this new, simplified option, I'm thinking of offering some bonus merch (maybe 20 Gildedguy V2 stickers?).
