Encounter 2 - Work in Progress (1080p60FPS)
Added 2021-11-23 05:25:21 +0000 UTC
Aaaaand it’s here! A preview at the new animation, at long last! I took a couple of extra days to make some music for it and also do a bit of color grading. My reasoning was that if it’s out, it’s out, and I frankly didn’t want folks to see this in such a rough state.
1080p/60FPS (Mega): Link
1080p/60FPS (Youtube): Link
And hey, look at that! Youtube links! I’m aware that patrons occasionally had issues watching these animations on MEGA, which is why I recently set up a new Youtube channel. It will be used for both public, as well as unlisted Patreon versions of the animations, which will always be uploaded as high-framerate versions. Of course the MEGA links will stay, as patrons should always be able to download the near lossless versions of these animations.
Note that despite my animations being quite tame, I’m still putting an age restriction on these to avoid having any youngsters stumbling upon these animations.
As previously mentioned, there are still multiple scenes missing here, including one major one that takes place inside Zoe. I’ve also thought about an additional scene inside Zoe’s gullet to better tie the swallowing part together. I’m estimating the runtime of the final animation to come out somewhere from 8 – 9 minutes once everything is wrapped up.
Considering there’s still a bit of work ahead of me I’m estimating the final release to be somewhere around late January, especially considering some of these scenes still have a decent amount of animation in them. I’ll of course keep you posted with new playblasts, but note that the next one might take a little while since the internal scene still needs a bit of preparation before I can start properly animating it. I’m also burned out beyond recognition due to having to do work for clients and my company on the side and not having had an actual break ever since Covid started. I’ll still do my best to keep up with my schedule here whatsoever!
Big thank you to all of you for patiently waiting on this! I can’t wait to get back to animating and finalizing this episode, so for those that can still wait a little longer, I’d recommend to not watch the preview and wait for the final thing! (:
if this is just a WIP. the finished version is going to be huge.

Everyone talks about the vore, which is wonderful as always, but I mainly want to talk about the camera positioning. Throughout the entire mouthplay part, so many camera angles and positions just worked wonders at capturing every moment in just the right way. So, excellent directing and "camera"work!

I actually work in the game industry as an environment artist. And I must say this is some impressive work! Plus you made Zoe really adorable. Great job! And your compositions are pretty stellar as well.
Keep up the good work, and as others have said please dont burn yourself out. I have burned out twice in my life and it was not enjoyable at all.
Would like to see you do this full time at some point. We need to go on a Patreon recruiting bonanza. :D

Aye, someone ended up sharing the link. It should be back up, though! And I was planning on doing a mini animation with that some time, hah!

I barely had time to download and watch it, and it's so good. Can't wait for the full video. You could make a full self aware game if you wanted to. It'd be so good and fun to play

The video went private on YT.
I assume because people A. didn't read the text that told them not to do that, or B. did anyway after seeing it.
P.S. I hope we get more of Zoe belly dancing in the future.

Another thing I forgot to mention, I really loved the way you put the return of the ps2 girl in this one, when I saw her I was like "no way, she's alive." I always love the surprises you put in your animations.
Michael Lee Vogel
2021-11-23 21:52:53 +0000 UTC
Man, seriously, in a dialogue like this from her, I fall so deeply in love.
And also:
For the fact that it's still a work in progress animation, I have only one thing to say: WOW.

Amazing work! The graphical fidelity has truly been pushed to a new level. I can only commend you for the detail in the environment, animations, and of course on Zoe.
The sound and voices are also great for the most part, but obviously there's a bit room for improvement – though I'm confident that'll be mastered in the final version!
Compared to Encounter 1, this one seems to be more strongly driven by story and entertainment. The relationship development over these 2 episodes is quite fun to watch!
Immersion was an aspect that Encounter 1 managed to deliver outstandingly well – and I mean, really beyond any other animation ever! Encounter 2 gets this point across too, although I was left a bit unhappy when the immersion broke in the final few scenes as the perspective switched to third person. Perhaps those shots could be better off as "bonus angles" (just like in E1).
If I had to choose which episode I personally liked more, I'd probably go with E1 for that reason. Regardless, this animation is an enjoyable, fresh take and surely a personal accomplishment for you too :)

You're very welcome cake, I also enjoyed the music, it was so soothing
Michael Lee Vogel
2021-11-23 17:36:32 +0000 UTC
This is...wow! What an atmosphere. I really like how you set the scene, how you take time to just let the shoulders of the viewers drop so one can take in the story.
I feel that using headphones is a must. The soundtrack and effects is so soothing and takes the experience to the next level.
What a job you have done, and are still doing! If I was wearing a hat I would take it off. So much respect for how much passion you put into these (as you say) questionable films. I wish maby a bit too much that I was living in that village, but thank you so much for making this come so alive.
But seriously, take good care of your self. To burn yourself up is no joke. Sometimes one have to remember that you need to get your head above the water and breathe. I wish you all the best. Take care and don't worry too much about what others want.

Animation is incredible, and I love the vibes, but there's a little to much dialogue for my tastes.
Not that the VA isn't doing a good job, just that it's kind of immersion breaking where there's so much talking going on.
Idk about everyone else, but with POV the goal is to imagine yourself as the person. Kind of hard to do that when I'm constantly hearing someone that isn't me.
Seriously though, great work

Amazing ! ^^ Already top tier work and animation, and to think it's only a preview.
The writing, with the back and forth between Zoe and the Hero, is hilarious !
Where can I find this Mint Conditioner ? ^^
But please, don't burn yourself up trying to do everything too fast. Keep some time for yourself to recharge your batteries.
Take care, and congrats ! ^^

Very much, the voice actors are always a ton of fun to work with! Sadly one of the actors was still missing here, but he'll be there in the final cut!

Really happy to hear that, Cougr! Writing this episode was a ton of fun, especially knowing I have capable voice actors now. Gen blows so much life into Zoe, it's always an absolute treat animating to her lines! (:

Aye! I always tend to get an anxiety overload posting the actual animations, so I'm super happy to see you liked how this turned out! :)

Wow this is absolutely solid. I can see why it's been taking so much time. You've been working hard and the voice actors did a great job too.

Your work keeps improving every video. It's really amazing in quality and scope. Zoe is just so delightfully horrible, cute, sensual and fun to ridiculous levels. I'm so glad you keep doing these things for us to see and I thank you for your efforts. Do what you need to do. You are well worth waiting for.
