Hello all.

I have now taken a considerable bite out of "F" and all the hardest action parts are either done or at least in the rough draft phase.  I'm now coming to a point where I've gotten so nit-picky about how the rest of the scenes are to be animated that going through and putting together directions for animators is becoming just as much work as doing the animation myself.  I'm now running out of stuff to give others that won't require a considerable amount of direction, explanation, and correction from me.  From this point forward, I may need to just finish the rest of the character animation on my own.  I'll know more by the end of this week.  

The music stuff is going pretty well.  I like what I've been receiving in terms of the score.   Similarly, assets are still being modeled, and I should be receiving more shortly.  

Once the actual character animation is finished, my sound editor will need time to do all the effects, and visual effects, such as water, fire, and ice, have not even started yet.  Because of this, I'm still not sure when I can release.  However, now that I've had a few weeks to focus on it, I'm far less worried about "F".

In other news, it seems that the Patron-exclusive Discord does not seem to be active at all, and after consulting with the moderator, I'm most likely going to be opening it to the public and merging it with the Discord from my Twitch channel.  It will now be a "Shippiddge" Discord, which will be a hub for everything I do.  Patrons will get specific flairs, exclusive Patron-only areas, and really anything else you want to request from it.  I think this will be a better way to consolidate the Shipp-centric community I seem to be building.  Plus, now you won't HAVE to be a Patron of mine to participate in the community, and can invite your friends to join in.

That's all for now.  I've been lagging behind and really want to try to make these weekly again.  Thank you for all your support.

Don't worry about the release date - the quality of the episodes is more important than the time between when they're released. Good call about the Discord server - it would be nice if it were more active.

5000 frames gosh I can’t wait!!

Hey, its all right, as long as it comes out before 2022 take your time! The more time you put into it the better it will be and also healthier for you! Can’t wait to see the next episode.

Yes, quality > quantity/publishing time! In the past, I have only seen such projects from the side of the "quick consumer". But these people (also my former ego) are not really grateful for it. The stress is not worth it because it remains invisible and then people end up looking at the quality. I like the series and I'm excited to see what happens next. And I want the series to get the best quality it can have!

Rock Huh
