I'm back!

A lot can change in 2 weeks

So I'm no longer homeless, which naturally is great news, and means I can start working on Faraway again!

I'll also be able to continue having the filmed sections, once I pick a corner and build the set again. Luckily I kept everything from the old one in a box so I don't have to re-buy everything

once I've finished organizing all my stuff, which is currently spread haphazardly throughout my place, I'll look at an estimation of when I should have ...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes ♫~

Life has been... wild, but that's far from unheard of to me

I am actually in my last month as a housed person, as by the end of September I will have transitioned to living in my car

Wowwee-zowwee, amirite?

It's a long story for a different day, so I'll just stick to how it all relates to the future of Faraway

The TLDR is that I have NO intentions of letting Faraway die because of this change, and I have some plans in place for how I will be able to continue p...

Episode 1 (the second in the series, logically) is done and live!

I have to give a MASSIVE thank you to some incredible friends who took part in voice acting for me and made this what it is, Vincent, Lou, Mikayla and Lloyd, Bryn

And to everyone else who was there through the arduous process, being as excited and enthusiastic as I was and giving me someone to make proud if I coul...

The Infamous SpacePort

I really loved making this frame from Episode 0 - Pilot

I actually made a 3D model of the port in blender, angled it the correct way, then sketched the 2D print on the right (the left was just a sketch I did by eye and isn't correctly to scale like the full one is)

It was a challenge getting the facets on the dome correct in the full version, as well as all the little layering lines. I had the idea for the ring being invisible in the center before I did it and I just love...

Episode One and what Faraway IS~

I have already had voice-actor recording sessions with two out of the five actors featured in the first episode (along side myself of course~) and the remaining sessions will be taking place this coming week

Ep0 only featured myself as a voice actor so I filmed first, then recorded all the vocal work, then edited it all together

For Ep1 I have changed up the order- I am recording VA work first, then I will be filming the visual parts, then recording my own VA work, then editing of...

Have You Seen This Rock!

Welcome to the Faraway patreon page!

I currently have zero budget to produce it with, I only have whatever scraps of my disability benefit are left each week to scrape it together with.

Patreon will hopefully support Faraway to build towards the potential I know it has that is currently trapped behind a pay wall (like everything in this world) -__-  

My first goal is to buy an ACTUAL camera, as I'm currently using a 3rd-hand webcamera that is genetically identical to a ...
