Weekly Update: 25 October, 2026 

Hey guys!
 

This weekly update is still focusing on animation work!  The main batch is juuuuuust about done. The “finale” animation of this major sequence is maybe a few more motion tests from final rendering. Still got 3 more animations after that, but the overwhelming bulk of the animation work is done, and soon we can get rolling on forward progress.

Animation work is one of those things. The update that first introduced Kiara as a major character showed me that. That was nearly 5 solid months of animation work, that amounted to about 3 minutes of linear progress. The unfortunate tradeoff. Particularly with *branching* animations. But I can’t WAIT for you guys to see this newest batch! They’re coming out really good!

It’s probably a little too early still to judge it precisely, but I imagine this update will be ready within 2, maybe 3 months? Animation work always makes it hard to gauge (have I mentioned that animation work slows things down? XD). It’s not a guarantee, but it should be around there.

The OTHER problem with animating, is that the closer you get to perfection, the less impressive it all seems. It just looks “normal”, so the brain doesn’t really clock it as anything noteworthy. Lots of invisible work, but Supporters have seen one of the upcoming animations in its final form, so I hope that work is still noticeable. 😊

 
Anyway, that’s the update. Still on animation stuff, probably will be for another 1-2 weeks? The big bulk of them are done now, but still a handful of smaller ones to get to. 
 
If you have any questions, let me know!
