First of all, thank you once again for your patience and continued support. ❤️

Over the past month we've continued refining our production pipeline, with a stronger focus on print validation and overall model quality. While this has slightly slowed a few releases, we believe the extra time invested now will result in a much better experience for everyone.

📬 Production Notes & Adjustments

Prinz Eugen & Archangel Rias

Our goal is still to release Prinz Eugen before the end of July. However, depending on the outcome of the final print validation, there's a possibility she may slip into the first days of August.

Likewise, Archangel Rias is expected to release during the first 10 days of August.

Both models will be retroactively distributed to every member who was subscribed during July, regardless of their subscription status at the moment they officially release.

We sincerely apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience while we prioritize a smooth printing experience. 🖤

📌 Project Updates

Ember

Ember has been moved further down the roadmap due to both the complexity of the project and current artist availability.

Tharja

Unfortunately, the first production attempt by a newly assigned artist didn't reach the quality standards we expect from Hybris Studios.

As a result, the project has been discarded and returned to our production queue, where it will be reassigned to one of our trusted artists.

While this delays the release, we believe it's the right decision to ensure the final quality meets expectations.

Black Knight

Black Knight is currently undergoing extensive mesh repairs.

Due to the amount of geometry cleanup required, the project has temporarily been moved to a lower priority while we focus on completing the current production schedule.

Our intention is still to release her during the current production period, although we can't provide an exact date until the repair work is complete.

Finally, we'd like to give a huge thank you to everyone who joined or came back to Hybris Studios this past month.

Your support allows us to keep improving our pipeline, expand our team, and invest more time into quality control so every release meets the standards we strive for.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. 🖤
