Weekly Update: Nov 22, 2024

This week, I'll just be talking in general. So first

Game Update:

I tried to work more on the game but it was when my art funk was slowly coming back. I did get more of the options menu understood, got a mute button and resolution down. As well as learning how to divide the audio and assign them to each volume slider lol :p

That being said, I think I focused too much on the options cause gameplay got nothing done, unfortunately.

But this next week, I...

GLaDOS Animation WIP #4

Link: https://youtu.be/tzShnn8xdDE?si=gP6eRrhwhLS-ZKz9

Well, I think I got way more progress here now that I focusing on inbetweening rather than flourishing up some animations. Might hopefully get this, at least, fully animated on December

Sorry for the slow start, this art funk was kicking my ass but I am recovering and am able to work more consistently now instead of getting tired after 15 ...

Weekly Updates: Nov 15, 2024

So this week, I've been struggling to do a lot of progress while also wanting to play Brothership while also dealing with some weird art funk~

But progress was made, and game wise, I can say plenty of it!

So:

Game Update

Game Title: Still Pending but I thinks it should be like Belly Buster's or a fancier version of that lol

On the game front side! No gameplay to show, naturally lol

BUT

I did get menu's working~

GLADOS Animation WIP #3

Link: https://youtu.be/9hCKtrbQ9RQ

So I will explain in the weekly why I don't got a lot here done, but here is some of the rough animation done. I think I am gonna focus more on inbetweening first before I continue doing rough animations. Probably helps more if I do it that way lol

Silly Pops: Knock-Off Doll

This was an idea I had when thinking about making a Makeshift campaign for a Blake Doll. Don't know when I'll do something like that but with Twitter crumbling and starting over with Bsky, I feel I should wait a bit before I know I have a dedicated audience who can make that dream into a reality

With all that said, hope you enjoy this silly comic.

There won't be two this month, it was suppose to be that way, but starting the monthly Silly Pops with 2 comics in the first two months...

Weekly Update: Nov 8, 2024

Okay... I don't have much to update on, except that the storyboard of the first GLaDOS animation is done~

Game wise, not much except I know how making a character in Godot somewhat works. Hopefully next week I got more to show. Very sorry that this week has been minimal

Just a lot of thing, elections, the post-election mood, Brothership release...

Yeah a lot happened this week lmao!

But I promise, next week they will be a lot to report both animation and game wise!

The Turnabout Buffet

November Patreon Drawing is here and its Maya Fey!

I was tempted to try and make it accurate to the game's style but honestly, been itching to try and draw her in my own style. The last time I did it, I feel she didn't look right, so this is my retribution from that uwu

Also here's a version without textbox or podium

GLaDOS Animation WIP #1

Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/U6zF-5eZc_w

Its not a lot and its not even GLaDOS but I did think it be fitting to start with this scene for getting into animating GLaDOS :3

Just a simple 10s storyboard for now. Hopefully something more in the future!

Weekly Updates: Nov 1, 2024

First day of November and its the first update of the month!

So, what do we got?

Glados Animation

Well, I spent most of the week collecting and trying to edit together a string of scenes (with the lines) to animate over before giving up and deciding a better thing to do is to animate each line individually. unless of course I can edit together a few lines to animate a 1 min portion lmao

Also, plan update

1. Wheatley will show up as well, voicin...

Yeah, this week's progress update will be minimal

Yeah sorry, its Wednesday and I have no real drive to get into my projects today BUT I will try and have something to show on Friday when the day comes around. Just been low energy this week

Hope y'all understand

Suggest GLaDOS lines to animate

Well, animating GLaDOS voicelines snuck into first place to my surprise. Truth be told, if it ended in a tie, I was gonna flip a coin.

But alas

Anyways, I will be animating a couple of GLaDOS voicelines, picking my favorite. Maybe roughly 10 lines? Maybe more.

However, if there's a line you really hope I'll do, tell me! I honestly have no limit currently to how many I'll do. There's like 30min of voicelines to choose form out of the Portal 2 lines. I dunno if I'll do Portal...

2025 Patreon Exclusive WIP

My partner and I started playing Horrorvale recently and we really enjoy it

Also there's a partner is a gremlin who eats candy enemies and is very unhinged about it! So naturally, we had thoughts. A lot of thoughts. Enough to make me wanna draw a bunch of fanart for this game but no desire to post it publicly and thus fill up 2025 with a lot of HorroVale themed exclusive art lmao!

Ridiculous!

I'd highly recommend HorrorVale, its such a good rpg with great humor and fun. Go t...

Weekly Update: Oct 25, 2024

Restaurant Game (Name Pending)

I am scared :3

I have been working on it tho, drawing it up placeholder stuff and thinking of stuff.

Here are the placeholder assets, they're separate parts but I got them all together like this to make...

BNB Update: Assets Done

Here's an update on the Buffet Night Bursting Bonus Song

The assets are mostly done, until I get the song and plan out more animations to go along with it~

So here is what I am gonna do. Come Friday, I will contact my composer again and ask for progress on the song. If its not done yet, I will post a video showcasing the assets, using the Roses Song and will consider that project, for time being, as done!

And then a poll will be put up Friday midday

BNB Update: Need input

Hey ho, so the BNB update is nearly done, all that's missing is the music and the BF directionals

Now here's the thing, I have no idea what to do for directionals lmao. I got a few ideas

One is presenting the BF Directionals as ascii art arrows. Like so V

Another is just having the Ah Eh Uh and such as like written on the dialogue box. Like so V

Side Note

Probably should've said this in the big announcement post but real quick, the list games to choose from will focus more on smaller projects even after I do this one simply cause I wanna make the other concepts too and don't want bigger projects taking away their opportunities to be made.

So think of it as tiers of games to choose from

For now, we're on the tech demo stage of games to work on.

And soon, we'll expand onwards to short but meaty experience games!

Until re...

Charge Bot 3D Model + FBX file

ZIP File Here

The 3D Model of Charge Bot is mostly done. Substantially, over all. Like there's a lot I could do to fix or smooth or finess this, but overall, I'm kinda done working on it. I'm happy with what I've learned

Mostly Bone placement, weight painting, texturing and posing! So, enjoy these render images if you want, enjoy the FBX in the zip file...

This week has been a bit low on the progress department, didn't do much. I had some chores to take care of, Brothership info to gush about and low energy overall, sorry y'all.

But I do enough to report on progress! And that I shall do!

So, not much on this front to report. Got most of the assets done and should be set to start animating! And once the composer is done with the song, I will finish the rest of the assets to go ...

Silly Pops Animated: Careful What You Say

So I finished this early! Lmao! I just got a bit excited to finally have this old animation done that I took some of my free time to finish this!

So enjoy this early access to the last Silly Pops Animation a friend voiced for me years ago. Unfortunately, said friend has since lost contact with me, I have no clue how to reach them. So I can't link to who voiced these characters. I apologize.

A poll for what I'll work on next will be up tomorrow~
