Get ready for November 24!

Hello Patrons!

At last I can confirm that Star Love Space Pirates is on track to publish on November 24, 2024, at 9am PT.

This project has by far been the most ambitious, outdoing any of the other large projects like Massimo vs Inicka, or Marutendo Presents. Really one of the hardest parts was to write (and rewrite) a script that works. The script became about 14 pages long, which is the biggest ever. I also had to learn blender and recreate the assets that were lost from the original animation. Though I had help from my animation assistants, delegating a huge amount of work and reviewing scenes was in itself a separate job.

So things piled up. I was getting overwhelmed, and this year I have burned out more than probably could be considered healthy. But by taking the times to relax, and enjoy life outside of work, I have not completely caved in. I think it is important to get that work life balance right.

That is why I reluctantly postponed the release date by one month. I think that was a very good decision, cause I am very happy with how this animation turned out!

In the next couple of weeks, I will vacation in japan, initially for my birthday (on Nov 25), but now I see this as a way to completely disconnect, and relax and enjoy life. In fact, Star Love will publish why I am in a hot spring, I think. So don't worry, I am not overworking too much!

I think though that this suffering is worth it (due suffering), and I can't wait for you all to see this animation next week. It really is the best feeling ever when my audience reacts to my animation.

Thank you for your support! And thanks to my assistants and crew for making this happen! I feel emotional writing this lol. Please look forward to next week, revisit Ryuta, Hikari, and Kazu, and meet the Big Bad Wolf!
