Great news everyone! We finally have one of the animations totally finished, (a small clip of the first is above) and are currently finishing up the other.
With this milestone, I believe I can confidently say that we will be releasing version 5.3 towards the end of this month. Spooky!
As mentioned before, we will be having an internal post-mortem to talk about scope and deadlines going forward. Also, our manager is going to be coming on board in mid-November to help prevent delays like this again in the future.
These animations are looking amazing, and I can't wait to show them off to you all! Stay tuned for more updates!
