MIDNIGHT BADGE — OFFICIAL INTRO FIRST LOOK (Patreon)

Today I can finally show you the opening intro of Midnight Badge,

Everything you see in this video was created and animated by me in Blender. It is not AI-generated. From the characters and environments to the camera work, lighting, animation and final editing, this is the result of months spent building the project piece by piece.

I’ll share more work-in-progress material soon, including animation tests, physics experiments, unfinished shots and a closer look at how some of these scenes were made.

Lately, I’ve been dedicating most of my time to the visual novel because the design phase is finally complete. The story, characters, relationships, branching structure and overall production pipeline are now in place. WE're no longer trying to figure out what Midnight Badge should be.

Now we can focus on actually making it.

Although it is a visual novel, it won’t be limited to static renders. As an animator, I want its major moments to become fully directed cinematic sequences, with accurate character performances, physical interactions and a real sense of weight.

Alongside the intro, you can also download the first official Midnight Badge Character Bible, introducing the main cast without revealing the larger secrets of the story.

Thank you to everyone supporting this project. Your support gives me the time and resources to build something far more ambitious than I could produce alone.

The badge is real. The paperwork is questionable. Production has begun.

Welcome to Los Angeles.

Welcome to MIDNIGHT BADGE.
