Get ready for this! (NSFW below!)

hey hey hey~~~!

how you doing folks!? thank you thank you for being here and all the support!!!

i got great news (and kind of meh news you must have known)

about halloween! the last time i gave myself 9 days (or the whole november) to come up with something and..... that did not work out, he he he he

my plan was: re-do the bonnie scene and theme it around spookiness!
i would start with this:

but then, would i have enough time to animate both the guy and the girl? probably not, so i optimized and ended up with this:

now to animate it right?
it started out well, but then i noticed a problem.
the shapes were not connecting properly when the whole thing was being animated!

it is a common problem in 2d, but i could solve it if i developed a ligature system that could keep shapes connected properly even when animated!

so i did it, but it took like 15 days (12h a day * 15 days = too much time) and the results are:

WOAH! AMAZING RIGHT?!?!?!?!? BEST USE OF 15 DAYS!!

yeah yeah yeah... kind of a bummer... i was thinking about giving up... but then!!

i realized the reason this looks so cheap is because bonie is rendered in the SimplePaige style! 

so if i had something like FancyPaige, this would look great!

then i started coming up with FancyPaige thinking that if i could finish in a week (it took me what? 6 months for SimplePaige? sure...) i would have enough time to finish the animation!

but it did not go well. one week passed, and i had no progress... but then!!!

i figured out the problem! paige is not fancy! she is anti-fancy! i was not starting from zero on FancyPaige, i was starting on negative!

so who could be fancy enough already to do it in a week?

so, with a little bit of the forbidden knowledge, i dove deep and...

ARE YOU READY FOR THE GLOW UP OF THE DECADE?!?!?

ARE

YOU

READY

FOR

THIS?!

THE NEW PROFESSOR!!!!
LOOK AT THOSE LINES! LOOK AT THE SHADING! THE NUANCED EXPRESSION!

oh yeah! the engine has evolved to version 0.3 and can now do FancyModels!!!!
one step closer to our final destination...

ok ok... so what now? well, i could waste more time with nonsense that doesnt pay the bills (i say while staring at the formidable leaning stack of bills in front of me), or...

i could put it into a game! but what kind of game? how can i best leverage the engine as fast as possible? decisions decisions....

but that is the plan! make a game as fast as possible! this year still or bust!

what you think?! let me know!!

cya real soon~~~
