Yet another status report

Hey,

So, the past week hasn't been very productive for me. I know I didn't give a deadline in my last status update, but I was planning to have the PB released by now, so I wanted to at least write a status report.

It's starting to be pretty clear I need to do some changes, as I'm having a lot of trouble getting motivated for this particular project at this moment for whatever reason. Maybe it was too soon for me to try to attempt to go full steam ahead with a larger project again. Or it's just the other projects I'd rather be working on, nagging in the back of my head. Like that one goblin character I've mentioned every now and then, and have been wanting to do since coming up with devil's cookie, for example.

I'm considering pushing Dimini down in priority, to a background project, that I'll work on the side slowly every now and then, when I feel capable, rather than it being the main project. Although I'll of course finish the playblast for the first minute of footage, before doing so.

Instead, I'll likely be focusing on projects I want to do the most at this very moment. So mostly shorter animations, a few minutes long at most, with varied characters and scenarios. Things that I can experiment with more, rather than something that makes me feel tied down on what I can and can't do.

I'll think on this more, and what direction to take things, as I try to finish the second PB for Ch2Pt2. But what I do know is, that things cannot continue as they are, and that I need to change something, or I'll end up not doing this at all for much longer.

Alternatively a much longer break might help as well, where I freeze my patreon/subscribestar for multiple months. But that's the last option I want to consider, and I'd like to avoid it as much as possible, so I'll try pivoting to things I feel I'd find more interesting to work on first.

Anyway, I'll keep you up to date on what I decide on. And regardless, I'll get the second PB for ch2pt2 out first, let's say before the end of next Wednesday, regardless of its status at that point.

I truly apologize for my tardiness during the last weeks. I know you are here for the content, and not to read my status reports, so I will do my best to get back on track!

That's all for now.

Status update

Hey,

Still here. I'll post the latest playblast as soon as I have it at the 1 minute mark. which shouldn't take too many days more, but I don't expect it to be out before Wednesday. I'll refrain from giving a deadline estimate, since if I do that, I know I'll end up using the entire time I've given myself!

That's all for now.

Hey!

Still animating, progress is a bit slow right now, but I'll post what I have animated before the end of the week, regardless of where I'm at in progress at that point. There's some stuff going on in life right now that's affecting my emotional state, that I'm not comfortable elaborating on too much.

I know delays right after a break aren't exactly a promising look, but please don't worry too much! I'm doing mostly fine, and I don't have any plans to drop out of doing this stuff in the near future at least.

Just a quick heads up, sorry for the delays.
