Hello, everyone!
With the public and 720p release of Refuge on the 10th, my vacation officially ended. With the 10th being a Saturday stream, I returned to work on Overbreed Episode 1 formally on the 11th.
Storyboard Progress
My first order of business is to finish up the storyboard. As a brief overview of the storyboard, here is a convenient little checklist. X means it is done, ~ means it is in progress, _ means it has yet to be done, and O means it is b...

Hello, everyone!
As is tradition for me, I am taking the time between the early-access release of Refuge and the public release off as a vacation.
And as is tradition for me, that translates to working on things. Because I am physically incapable of relaxing.
I've been putting most my energy into Epilogue, because I'm just having ...

Hello, everyone!
I mentioned last week how I was going to be out for the weekend, so the work week was going to be a bit anemic compared to the standard. The weekend was fantastic, honestly much better than I anticipated (as someone who doesn't drink, a night out basically bar-crawling isn't exactly an exciting proposition, but spending time with my friends and just bullshitting and encouraging them to drunk-text their wives and fiancees made everything worthwhile).
And, perhaps m...

Hello, everyone!
I don't have a whole lot to report this week, but what I do have to report is a pretty important development!
The Claire/Jill video is rendering out in final 4k!
As of this morning, about 8 minutes have been rendered out. Rendering started Sunday evening, and it's now Tuesday afternoon.
My napkin math estimates the render will take anywhere from 5 to 10 days. With 8 of 22.5 minutes rendered across 2 days, that suggests about 6 days f...

Let's get straight into it!
Claire/Jill
This past week, I've been hyperfocused on getting the Claire/Jill video done and ready for its final render. I stated last week I was hoping to get the final render started on May 15, which by Job, is today. Did I make it?
Well, sort of. More accurately, "no but with an asterisk."
I managed to get all of the expression & gesticulation pass done (and I gotta admit it looks real...

Hello, everyone!
I haven't been so excited as to write a Progress Report as I am today in a very long time! I was so eager and chomping at the bit that I legit sat down to write it yesterday, before realizing it was only Sunday.
Let's just get right into it!
So the expression pass on Claire/Jill is taking a lot longer than I anticipated, because I didn't re...

Hello, everyone!
I apologize for this week's Progress Report being a few days late. On Sunday, I made the decision to put together the Life is Strange ladies, and I wanted to get these posters ready for the Progress Report. I hyperfocused on them between Sunday and now, but 3 full character models plus some props is still a lot of work. I like to think I work fast when it comes to model work, but anyone whose watched the modeling streams knows that an average character model with outfit...

I apologize for this update being a day late, my Monday was a bit whacked as I woke up with a killer headache and actually ended up just taking a 4-hour nap in the afternoon, which is something I never do. It kinda fucked up my whole day and I just didn't really have the time to put together the post.

Hello, everyone.
I intended to make this on Monday, but as is so often the case, I flew too close to the sun. It was 3am when I decided to start making these posters, wanting to share them on the progress report. Was nearly 7am when I finished. I was way too exhausted to write up this post then, and promptly collapsed into bed with the sun daring to shine on me as I tried to sleep.
My sleep schedule is incomprehensibly fucked.
This past week was one of tangents. Rather than ...

Hello, everyone!
Last week, I finally made the decision to actually keep a daily log of the work I get done. As hard as it may be to believe, but sitting back in my chair racking my brain trying to remember what I did while desperately scrolling through the Discord to read conversations I had where I discussed my work is not, actually, a particularly efficient way to write up these summaries.
So, let's just get straight to the details.

Hello, everyone!
Two Mondays in a row. Let's see if we can't keep this pace up.
Not as much to report as I'd like, unfortunately. It was one of those weeks where I kept falling down rabbit-holes and getting pulled away from things and wasn't able to really get into a flow state and be productive.
That isn't to say I didn't get stuff done, as the poster suggests. Just that I didn't really get much done of what I wanted to get done.

Been a while since I've actually made a Progress Report on time. Gonna try to keep things brief today, just as a fun writing exercise.
Primordium is quickly approaching the finish line! Last Saturday's stream saw us basically finish the tavern sequence for a 4k render, and I finished it up off-stream (nothing of note was done, just a lot of repetitive application of jitter; the only reason it wasn't done on stream is I had social obligations elsew...

A week of "missed it by that much"
I apologize for not posting last week. I had every intention to - specifically, to make the progress report post alongside the release of the Autorelease system, which was originally slated to be released on Monday. But then it wasn't quite ready by end of day Monday, so then Tuesday! But then it had last-minute bugs that had the potential to crash the entire infrastructure, so Wednesday? Wednesday finally saw it ready for rele...

Right off the top, the post image! I've been slowly storyboarding out Overbreed Episode 1. I don't have the time to commit to fully animating it, but I can steal an hour here or there to work on storyboarding it all out, so that when I am finally ready to jump back on full tilt, I have a clear direction of what...

Let's pretend that my making this week's Progress Report on February 1 was totally planned, and not just a happy coincidence resulting from the fact I haven't really had anything noteworthy to report this week.
Also, yep. You guessed it. The post image is another bait and switch.
Artemis and Medusa aren't the main focus of this post. Though they are part of what I got done last week. Read on and you'll get to them eventually.

Look at that, I actually remembered to make a weekly report!
I wish I had better news to report. As you probably noticed, the January 14 ideal date for the Claire/Jill video has come and gone.
The short and simple answer for that is that I've been in a bit of a slump the past few weeks. I made a tweet thread about it

It appears I missed last week's Progress Report. That's starting to become a habit, and I'm not terribly pleased by that. I won't lie, all the days have been bleeding together for me of late - so much stuff getting done, all the time!
The whole first episode of Primordium has been fully blocked out, and is awaiting voice lines. Half the voice cast got sick over New Years, so the January 7th stream ended up being spent working on a title sequence for the series. We...

I may or may not have forgot to write a Progress Report last week. I apologize for that.
The reason why I forgot about it, though, is because I've had a very... productively sideways two weeks. What do I mean by that?
"Sideways productivity" is what I use to refer to productivity toward anything that isn't my primary focus. It's making progress on things I shouldn't be making progress on. And boy howdy, does that summarize the past two weeks.
So, what ...

It's been a milestone day! Last week, I noted my aspirations to get the Claire/Jill video's lip-sync fully finished either Friday or Sunday, and get it ready for a sound-design render.
