Hello, awesome patrons!
As usual, it's been a while. And not without reason. I've been very busy in many different aspects of my life, day job, side jobs, everything all in a mix. Though, it doesn't mean I've neglected the project. Renders are being made, ideas are flowing, stuff is getting done. Got the update flow and story mapped out, and now just making the scenes, animations and everything in between. Things are advancing, I want some real action to pop off in this one. Some real progress and advancement to happen in the story. I hope I can manage that and not stagnate. :)
I've planned this update to be relatively shorter. (I think I've said that before...) I want to make this production cycle and the next one faster. For the simply fact that I'd like to create a bit more frequency in updates. Perhaps gain a bit more visibility from releasing more often. So I'm thinking of separating Episode 9 into to two parts. It's less of a real split in terms of story, more just for the sake of production cycles. I've not yet set a deadline, but this one is definitely going to be released faster than the last one.
Other than that, I've been trying out some music sourcing options and I've found one that, for now, seems to fit and is not as expensive as my previous options. When the budget for the project grows, I will reassess this question. Last episode, almost entirely, contained new songs. And I got some positive feedback on those, so I think we're going in the right direction.
Thank you for your continued support. You guys make this possible :)
