Okay. Scene F has now come leaps and bounds. The episode now looks roughly like it did when I imagined the idea years ago, so I'm happy about that. But I desperately need to wrap up these pesky loose ends.

Here's where we're at:

A - Complete

B - Complete

C - Minor fixes

D - One FX element, some detail adjustments

F - Detail fixes, texture fix, two FX elements

X - One lingering FX fix

I was right to fear Scene F. Too many special effects. So many tweaks and errors that just keep popping up as it went on. It's so bloated and some elements of this I hope never ever to have to touch again. I feel as though I'm still being hurt by my own planning bias - underestimating the workload and overestimating my abilities and efficiency. It's been killing me, especially with the excruciating render times, lag from enormous, bloated files, and small errors and detail fixes that seem to keep popping up at every turn.

I really thought I could just bang out a lot of these visuals on my own at the end since I knew what was needed. But I've since sent one of the FX elements from Scene F over to a different artist to finish for me while I take care of the final bits of F. F is so so close to finally being locked down, but has a frustrating amount of visual effects. I've now down all the hardest bits and am just trying to finish the last of it. Scene X has one small thing that I originally had someone else do, but needed to change up to get it right. That one's super close as well, but the long render times and complexity of it make it difficult to just tie up quickly. Fixes for Scene C have been rendering out in the background, and should be finished promptly. Scene D has one bit to tie down as well, and unfortunately, I have to be the one to do it because of what it entails. Right now the plan is to finish F entirely, then hard focus on the last of D, and we should have the sound complete by then.

I recently finished the last of all the major stuff on Scene F and sent it off to the sound designer, who is doing fantastic work. Scene B sounds perfect now. I'm very excited to parse out the climax with her, and that should be happening this week. Also, all the music is done, including the credits music. We've got a kick ass score that I'm going to have to release alongside this.

I'm really gunning for finishing this month, but I keep taking longer than I say I'm going to, and have been missing every deadline, so I'm hesitant to say anything more. I'm very upset at how overdue I am, and have been pushing everything I can to the side to get this locked down. In the very least, I'm satisfied with how it looks.

I very much appreciate those that have stuck with me through this. I do hope to have this for you very soon. Very Best Patrons:
