Episode 8 Progress - 01/27/17 (Patreon)

Hey there!  So, for this episode, I'm getting things a little more organized.  I'm determined to get an April release.

As much as I want to get this one out fast, I REALLY don't want to rush the writing process, as that will affect the series as a whole.  I won't start the voice acting until I'm completely satisfied with the script.  This episode is completely mapped out, but the dialogue still needs more touching up.  The more time I have to sharpen that up, the better.

The new characters in this episode have already been cast, save for one.  I have someone in mind for it, but until I flesh out the dialogue more for a test read, I'm holding off on confirming the role.

While the dialogue is being mulled over, I've been working on the character models.  All of the models for the new characters are now completely ready to go.  I've also been upgrading the models  of the returning characters to have a higher polycount and textures with better resolution.  This difference will likely be inperceptable to some, but it will make a huge difference in where I'm planning to take this series.  Overall, it just makes them look higher quality, especially in the close-up shots. 

This episode also includes a great deal of "Abominations" that I'm modeling.  I won't say any more about this, as it is a huge spoiler.  "H" is almost done.

I am also working with a 3D artist, who is currently working on the Scene Models while I'm doing Characters.  I'm able to comission him because of your support!  So thanks for that.

I figure by the time the models are done and the scenes are set up, the script will be ready too, and we can dive into animating.  I'll be sure to keep you posted.
