The Kickstarter + Ersatz Updates (Patreon)
Content
First off, if you haven't seen, the Kickstarter is live! Funding is going great and I've been contacted by quite a few dub teams that want to do volunteer work, so even if that particular stretch goal isn't reached, some dubs should still be available.
Secondly, Ersatz is going through a 'second pass' - applying notes from the draft cut, re-rendering awkward scenes, adding some softer transitions, etc. I estimate the final cut to be done by the end of september, coinciding with the end of the campaign. This works out because I can hand it over to my audio team while I work on fulfilling the merch orders. I'm not sure how long audio will take so I can't give a final estimate on when Ersatz itself will release, but it looks like we're still on schedule for late 2025 - early 2026. When the pilot is out, so will a general merch shop to help fund any other creative endeavours.
Thank you so much for the support everyone!
