Updates, incoming changes and a time-limited 6500¥ (50$) tier

Hello guys! I hope you're having a wonderful sunday. There's a few housekeeping things to talk about, but first, let me update you on the Liz + Tristana animation. So, a week ago I finished the raw animation, Pyreaus helped with the script and dialogues as usual, and it clocks at 12:58 at the moment. I might add some extensions to some looped parts later on, but that's the "sketch" that we're working with VA's to record to. I'll let you know when the recording is finished and I can start polishing up the animation! Meanwhile I'm hard at work making assets to make the laboratory look less empty, also there's a small Vex animation coming up (around 1min+) as a filler content. Changes to tiers From the moment I started creating this world I tried to keep all the content released for free immediately to the public, with no benefits to supporters, as I strongly believed people should only donate if they really want to. However, as we're now progressing into the territory of hiring voice actors, I have people helping me with scripts, quality assurance and the quality of animations go up, so I had to buy a ton of extra hardware to keep up. I thought The Ritual would bring the numbers up a little bit, but it's quite the contrary, I lost around 25% of supporters since the release. So yeah, I need to do something about it, because at this rate I won't be able to continue creating. For now I'm just implementing basic changes that most similar creators have. Animation releases (the bigger ones, 1min+) will be available a week early to supporters of 600¥ and higher tiers. The 6500¥ (50$) tier makes a comeback for people who really want to help out to offset the costs of VA, sound etc. By subscribing to this tier, you'll get a special role on Discord, access to the WIP channel, where I'll be posting all the internal rough previews and test renders. The 6500¥ (50$) Discord role is acquired when you get charged for it and bot gives you the role and it will be active until the Liz+Tristana animation is released, even with just one payment of 6500¥ (50$). Additionaly, 6500¥ (50$) supporters will get a place in credits if they want to. It's opt-in, so you will have to specifically tell me that you want to be included and with what name. There'll be a post created for that. What's more, as a 6500¥ (50$) supporter you can request project files or current updated character Blender files. Please keep in mind that they'll be provided as they are and as I'm using them, they can be rough around the edges. And some common sense applies, I keep the right to refuse ridiculous requests (for example full Ritual project files are 200GB+, I don't have hosting that can handle that). -- All animations will still be released for free for the public, supporters just get them a week early! Once again, I'd like to thank you for all the support! You're awesome guys!
