HELLO first of all I just want you to know that I genuinely really appreciate you, making animated content is a buttload of work that's often underappreciated but thanks to your support I'm actually able to continue with my passion instead of downgrading to like...top 10 videos or something LOL
...I'm not like, quitting or anything I just felt like saying this because people who support artists are genuinely cool as hell and you deserve more appreciation for that <3
Anyway, the update; Chip's Adventure part 2 is finally out! I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it :D Gotta say though I'm a little demotivated by the general reception of it, a lot of people seem to think it's just a trailer/ad for my game :'D Like, it's inspired by my game but it's still a stand-alone series that will have an ending that doesn't require playing the game, and I'm not sure how to better convey that it's a prequel series that's just set in the same world as the game. I guess it's the length of the videos that makes it come across as an ad/trailer, but considering it takes me a month to make one 2 minute episode, you can imagine how long it would take to make a 5 - 10min one, as much as I'd love to do that :'3 OH WELL, I'm still passionate about it and I plan to put everything together into one "movie" once it's complete, which might be a little easier for people to watch. But in terms of Chip's Adventure in general, I want to keep it interactive and there will be a few more fun things you can vote on to appear in future episodes :D
My next project is gonna be the Road Trip part 3! The script is done, and I planned to record the audio this week but I'm still sick and it comes through pretty bad on the recording 😭 I'm hoping my voice will be better by Monday so I can record then, in the meantime I've started scripting a cat-related animated short, which uhh.. unironically came to me in a dream LOL
In general I wanna upload more frequently this year and I'm thinking of livestreaming more often/longer while I work on vids, it's just a bit of a mixed bag with streaming my process because sometimes it helps me concentrate and sometimes it has the complete opposite effect and I end up getting nothing done lmao I think I just gotta try it out though, and get over my anxiety that I need to be yapping constantly while i stream lol
Final thing I wanna talk about before this turns into an entire essay, I'm gonna be at Dokomi again this year! I still don't know which hall I'll be in as I applied for the Artist Alley (my preferred option) as well as as an Exhibitor (more expensive but higher chance of getting accepted), and I still haven't gotten a response about my Artist Alley application :'D But at least I know I'll definitely be there! Aaaand I've also applied for another con, Eurofurence 👀 I don't know when I'll get a response but I think I have a pretty good chance of getting in, so hopefully I'll see some of you either there or at Dokomi! :> I'd love to do more cons next year, but tbh I've been having trouble finding ones I'd fit into (like 90% of the ones in Germany are anime related lol), if you know any you'd like to see me at feel free to let me know :>
Okay I THINK that's everything for now..thank you for coming to my TED talk
