End of February, Patreon anniversary news update

Hey guys!

This week marks the first year anniversary of the project. I never thought we’d get this far, but we did! All thanks to you guys. To celebrate I figured I would put together something special. A picture featuring most of our characters, why not all? Well someone had to hold the camera! If you want the full resolution render, you can find it here . Here’s to many more!

Plans for the future

As some of you might have noticed, a few weeks ago we broke through the $350 goal with some room to spare. Along the way I’ve been able to provide you most of the features and assets that were promised, but not all. It is for that reason that I won’t be adding any new goals for the moment. Instead I’ll work on bringing you those assets and features first!

Features and assets

The two big items that have yet to be delivered are liquid effects and new sets. Liquid effects have continued to be quite tricky to put it lightly, which is why you haven’t seen them appear yet. Though I can say that I am “close” to having a working example, which i’m hoping to implement for our current project, if at all possible. 

The new set pieces have uptil now been deprioritized in favor of creating new characters. But now that we’re starting to introduce non aquatic characters, it would be nice if they had a physical place where they could interact with eachother. 

Dolorcin  had some ideas on the equipment we might find there. 

The original concept was always to have our characters reside someplace, not merely roaming the deep blue, the first iteration of which was already present in my first animation . That’s something I’m eager to bring back and continue to develop.

Characters

As far as characters go, I think we have enough dolphins for the moment. We’re missing some female versions for some, male versions for the other, but that aside, we’ll be looking to expand our character pool! Dragons, dinosaurs, maybe something fluffy like an otter? I’ll be putting that to a poll.

That’s about it for now. Work on the current, gigantic animation continues. By god is it massive. I’ll get it done, but for now, as always, comments and questions can be left below. If you want to hang out, join us on discord at https://discord.gg/9S2AFY6

Take care everyone!
