Plans for 2025 (Patreon)

2024
As an introduction, I would like to summarize that last year I managed to render animations in 4K. I switched to the Cycles engine for even better quality. This was mainly an improvement in the case of fluids and shadows. Because of this, there was a small improvement in each Tier, T1 received 1080p resources and 4K is available from T2.
I introduced Trello and an excel table to manage workflows. Trello is mostly for you, with a roadmap, statuses, etc. The table is for me. In this I keep track of how much time I have spent on each project. This way I will be able to estimate the time spent on the next projects more accurately in the future.

2025
Upcoming Projects and Order
I think most of you are interested in this, so I put it in advance. The list is in order. I would like to spin out the short animations in the first half of the year.
GK P4 BTS animation (current project)
GK P4 ATWT animation
Halloween 2022, 2023, 2024 combined extended ver. with full VA
100K Twitter reward animation
Poolside VHS edition with retro Lara skin
Poolside BTS animation with tentacles
Poolside 2 animation with anal scene
LiT8
Halloween 2025
GK P5
All of this will not fit in 2025. If LiT8 can come out at the end of the year I will be very happy.
Moving to a new studio
The next big step is moving to a new, bigger studio. This is expected at the end of February, beginning of March. I'm trying to time it so that the projects don't stop. I'm really looking forward to it.

Lara model improvement
I have a lot of ideas for this. I'll explain in detail in a separate post. But I would like to say a few things. First of all, I want to improve Lara's facial expressions. And make mocap for her. Add all the clothes from now on and later. Restore the pubic hair. Several versions, in several lengths. Work on the body deformations. The impressions on the skin from the contacts. Make it as soft and human as possible. Be able to tense her muscles. And of course update to the latest Blender version. This will be a longer process. But I have to finish it before LiT8. After that, Greta will also get a quick improvement. And Doppel will also get everything. Lara clone.
New supporter tiers
This has been moved from last year. I would like to add two more tiers. One is about sharing source files. The other gives more insight into the background, into the planning.
Brand identity and website
This was also a plan from previous years. I will start working on it after I move. I would like to change the logo a little. On the one hand, to make it more usable, simpler, and a little friendlier.
Production improvements
I have come to the conclusion that the most optimal length for longer animations is ~15 minutes. So that is what I will aim for in the future. This means that I will break up a larger cinema into sections of this size. For example, LiT8 and GK P5 are both designed to be 15 minutes long.
I continue to look for AI solutions that could help my work. Here I am primarily thinking about completing subtasks.
More audio tracks. As an experiment, I will make extra audio tracks for GK P4, which you can access by uploading them to a separate folder. So, anyone who is bothered by the male moaning can replace it with a VLC or CMP player.
Webshop
I've received some interesting inquiries in recent months and I've had some ideas before that I should make physical products in some form. I thought about 3D printed Lara models. Existing and new posters. Even a more exciting scene from the animations.
Recently, a sex toy company approached me to collaborate. You could order Lara's favorite hole for yourself and enjoy it anytime while watching the videos. Or the gatekeeper’s huge... Would there be a demand for this?
Thank you for reading. I look forward to your opinions in the comments section.
