Hey all, time for the March 2024 Update!
Up first, I'd like to link to the Mystery Skulls Forever Lofi album!
This was the thing I was alluding to the previous month, though at the time I was only expecting the Ghost Lofi version and not the entire album!
For the visual side, I asked Gene over at Jellybox Studios to see if they could come up with a MSA version of the "Lofi Girl", of which Vivi was kind of the obvious go-to choice to substitute in with that! They did a great job with it and we are grateful that they could help us out, so if you want to catch more stuff from them, go check them out over here!

Also, there should be multiple versions of each of these videos, be it the individual tracks, or hour+ long versions! Go check them out over at Mystery Skulls's channel!

Main Video News-
We have reached the point where we have run out of Rough Animation shots for our Freelancers to work on! This leaves us with a few Rough Animation shots that the main team wants to handle, largely involving Murder Mystery shots that were dependent on Backgrounds being established to be able to properly work with the perspective of the shot.
Speaking of Backgrounds, the colorization process is beginning to ramp up, but we don't quite have anything to show off at the moment. We are getting excited to start fitting them with the animation soon!
Animation Clean Up is getting quite close to turning in all of the epilogue sequence. I wouldn't be surprised if we wrapped that up for April! That would just leave some of the stragglers in the main sequence to clean up along with the aforementioned shots that still need their rough animation. Personally speaking, I'm currently doing clean up on what I think is the last clean up shot for the new character. I was also able to complete the final touch up pass for the huge giga-shot we have, so that's nice to have out of the way, it just needs a crazy amount of effects applied to it now!
