Episode 10 Update - 06/22/20 (Patreon)

Hello everyone.  Here is my progress this week:

I am currently in the late stages of the layout of "C" and I've come to a point where I can no longer continue without the rest of the environment assets being finished.

I've been working with one of my 3D artists pretty hands-on with all of the "C" assets.  Another 3D artist has been making great strides with the main "F" asset.  I would show you the progress, as it looks really cool, but it consists of major plot spoilers.

We are currently behind schedule in terms of story boarding, and I need them to be done before I can take on any more animators to implement them or hire out my current one to do the vital action scenes.  I am now at a point where it is difficult to continue doing anything more in regards to layout.  I had to reconfigure a lot of stuff to make "C" work, because the version the artist is producing is very different from the original placement of everything.  Because of this, I am weary of venturing into F before all the assets are finished.

To be frank, this has probably been the worst week for me in a long time, both in terms of output and focus.  Drifting between wildly different scenes with different assets, and constantly having to fix different issues in each has really burned me out.  Because I'm waiting on others to finish their assets, going into the upcoming week, I'm going to start character animation myself.  I have enough right now to actually finish scenes B, G, D, and a good amount of A.  By then, the assets of C will hopefully be finished, and I can tackle that before starting F altogether.  

Jumping around between scenes has severely disrupted my workflow.  Starting now, I'll be doing one scene at a time and working on it to completion before starting on anything else.  Knocking out character animation for whole scenes and not having to worry about it will take a huge load off.  

Thank you for your support.
