Hey everyone, Marie here. Sorry I missed last week’s update. Below is a consolidated write up from James about the last two weeks of production. Miro and the production team have been very busy, but I’ve been told we’ll be releasing the next short animation soon.

This week we’re finalizing an animation featuring Cerene as a dickgirl and Tifa riding her hard in our club scene. We want a more hand-held camera style and we’ve managed to showcase some improved jiggle as well as a nice hair sim on Tifa. We’re working on two angles on this animation, with one camera showing the whole action and another focusing on the insertion.

We've continued setting up the rigs for our Bloodlust characters on the Blender side of things. This doesn’t mean we haven’t been working with the characters up until now, we’re just perfecting the characters to be able to streamline production even further when we fully switch to Blender. We’re looking into how we can create an easily interchangeable mesh with things like genitals already applied, to simplify setting up additional characters. At the moment, an OBJ file export from Daz seems to be the best solution.

Our goal is also to continue building on the Bloodlust universe, to that end, we’re delving into characters’ histories, their motivations, ambitions, etc. Cerene at this point has the most divergent background as she’s not from the usual noble Vampire stock like Lanessa. As for Sophia, we're expanding on her relationship with Lanessa in and around Blood Crown.

Update edit (29 January 2022): Seed of Rebirth animation looks good for publishing before the end of the month, as does the sexy Cerene walk. CyPunk we won't be able to wrap up this month, as there's still some fixes and rendering. Miro estimates 1-2 weeks for CyPunk.

I am glad you are giving us some more details about the Bloodlust universe. Up until now we've only really got some bits and pieces about the characters through pre-release events and the first bloodlust-movie.

FYI You may know it already but there are Add-on that helps you import a character from Daz to Blender. I may be nearsighted but right now everyone would like to know more about Blood Crown than Blender (which will come after that). About the character's background, if you have a hard time thinking of it, set up some polls to urge all patrons to participate(which be ignored or not is depend on you).

When I see the universe in this post, it reminds me of No way home. Why not try using that portal in BL: RD in use to bring Sayako and Tara into the world of magic and dick. lol

I could have sworn I saw something about a bloodlust Christmas date, or was that for something else?

Oh boy, you've got some catching up to do. Mosey on back in the feed.

Asking this straight out: "Will we see the Seed of Rebirth and CyPunk animations that were already promised to us (even if they are unfinished) in November-December 2021 and then delayed and promised again for January 2022 during the last few days of this month ? Yes or no."

So at the start of the month we had the Seed of Rebirth, a Cerene walk animation, and the CyPunk animation on deck schedule for completion this month, and then an ass jiggle animation. This "hard riding" animation seems to have come out of the ether. Any word on the ones that were originally planned? Having a little trouble following the pipeline to be honest and when things that were scheduled to release at the end of the month are disappearing from updates again, that's quite a concern. Also still unclear on what this blood crown blender transition means as far as main release is concerned. Is the main release being re-done in Blender? I'm OK with tying up lose ends given how long we've waited for the first short animation with dialogue (Cyberpunk) but we're starting to slip pretty hard here.

Unsurprisingly we're still where we were almost two weeks ago. Content slated for November-December, that derailed Bloodlust, has not yet been delivered. The last piece of actual content was 3 weeks ago and it was a Blender test video from a potential collaborator, not even something from the team... I can't help but Notice there are no details about the Maya side of things. Transition to blender is nice and all, but that is in the far future. Why isn't there any info on the Maya vids that are stalling Bloodlust? Nothing in the info above, or any of the latest updates, is in any way explaining to us what you are doing to release the next chapter of Bloodlust. It would be nice for you to share your ideas about your characters, motivations, dynamics etc. and not just talk about you 'delving' into them. Even if they are works in progress it would be nice to see them so you won't spend 3.5+ years to deliver some fan fic level stuff. I wonder for how long Miro and Co. will keep this grift going, because I can't call it anything else at this point. At a certain point in (probably early) December they would have realized they would not finish the Maya stuff even by late January and just say, "Fuck it, let's get back on track with the real important stuff". But no, they persisted. At this point it feels mostly like an excuse to fuck around. I know the saying about never attributing to malice what can be explained by stupidity, but I refuse to think they are this shit at their jobs. I mean they were able to accurately predict when Bloodlust would be released for almost an year, if it were not for those pesky small videos, right :D? So how long do you thing it will be before you are finally back on Bloodust 100%? If they are not done by the end of January will Miro abandon them and go back to Bloodlust? Or will these small videos be used as excuses for months to come? Perhaps whoever is in charge of speaking with us lowly patrons can tell Miro we need some real info for once?

TheGreatCornholio

I don't think we'll get an answer. It took them 2+ years before they even give an estimate on the big movie. And they either massively miscalculated or outright lied to us.

IBT

Safest assumption to make is that anything involving characters besides miro OCs are "animation tests" for new animators/developers to join the production team. One of those Try Before You Buy kinds of deals.

Anonymous

Yeah it's interesting those seem to be the only videos that are coming out lately 🤔

IBT

Personally, I'm more interested in the "world building" of characters mentioned in the last paragraph. One Of These Vamps Is Not Like The Others with regards to Cerene v Lanessa leads in all kinds of fascinating story and character development directions. Also, Sophia and Lanessa having more of a relationship than at first assumed (wait, you two know each other?) is of intense interest to me. Part of what makes vampires so potentially erotic and sexy (especially full package futanari vampires!) is the web of bedroom politics and power plays you can get up to with them ... involving lust, hunger, loyalties (divided or otherwise), and of course a whole lot of darn good ravishing! Sex that happens FOR A PURPOSE with an agenda behind it is always going to be more impactful and carry so much more meaning to it than sex that happens "just because" (or worse, for no reason at all). Winning someone over with a good ravishing fuck is going to be so much more memorable and impactful than simply having sex because it's "only to be expected" and therefore a meaningless fuck that carries no consequences to it (like a one night stand).

Honestly it's not ideal but it's at least something to talk about. I miss the forums where it was easy to go back and forth borderline fan-ficcing (as much as I hate fanfiction) when there was no content to talk about.

Anonymous

Yeah i feel you Still waiting after 2+ years Now i am getting really angry This is ridiculous

Anonymous

Just stop these short animations and image sets and concentrate on the big main movie to finish! After 2+ years it could already be a hollywood blockbuster. So what is going on???

Ryupyroa

what is this patreon holy fuck lmao

JohnboyX

Yeah I feel you it's beyond ridiculous at this point how they break promise after promise after promise and can't stick to a single selfmade deadline 🙄 . Newest obviously being (after Miro and team had to delay Bloodcrown from Christmas 2021 to a yet to be decided new date) the originally planned for November-December 2021, then January 2022 and now highly likely not arriving until February Seed of Rebirth and CyPunk animations 😑 . At this point I'm pretty sure the only way we can expect some honest, transparent and empathic communication on this whole mess and not another response that sounds like it has been written by a narcistic/robotic corporate overlord is if many many Patrons suddenly decide to cancel their subscription cause at the end of the day it's all the same like with any service/business and the Affect3D Patreon is no different. MONEY TALKS !!! Sadly looking at the numbers of subscribers I don't see this happening at all so rinse and repeat with the tone deaf communication it is 😓 . As you see my blood is boiling as well and indeed has been for quite some time 😡 .

Alyssa

I'm enjoying reading the comments more than anything else here lately lol. You guys need to focus on one thing, the Bloodlust movie. Pretty sure huge majority of Patreon subs signed up just to see that. So disappointing lol.

Ryupyroa

While I agree with you 100% IBT, we can't even get the sex animations. It's safe to assume world building and context done through animation will never happen. Can't wait to read the bloodlust novel in 2025 to prepare us for the bloodlust release in 2027.

IBT

My point is that hashing out world building and character stories doesn't have to be bottlenecked through animations. Coming up with Good Ideas™ for who the characters are and where their character development arcs are coming from and going to ... that doesn't require animators or render times. Developing GOOD STORY IDEAS aren't contingent upon a production pipeline. Doing things with those Good Ideas™ so as to realize them in animated products ... okay, that I'll easily grant is contingent upon the workflows and pipeline getting sorted out. But the writer's room tussle over characters and story ought to be done BEFORE moving into animation ... not during (or worse, after).

Aspyr

Every time there is an update, it's the same thing - more delays. Every time there is an update it's the same comments - whining about the lack of content. I realised that the problem is not actually Miro...... it's us. We are rewarding this business model every single month we hand over our cash. On a previous update a fellow patron made a really interesting comment, they said that it would have been cheaper to just buy the sets off affect3D than to pay monthly to this patreon. So I am going to stop talking with my words and start talking with my wallet. By the end of Feb if there is no meaningful content I am ending my pledge. I have been here since day 1 and at some point I need to wake up and face reality. Maybe I am the only one, but I am hoping my fellow patreons will echo a similar decision or this will go on for another 10 years. Us patrons need to be vocal and need to be united.

Just my 2 cents, but I've subscribed a while ago not only to see things, but also/mostly to finance the project. I don't think it pays that much to release a super high quality 3D animation like Miro did multiple times over the past few years. Memorable and epic 3D movies, that I still watch over and over again. Remember that this is not a well oiled porn machine like big company names you can think of, this is animated porn with dickgirls. Kind of a niche thing, not so well greased up. Yet. So go on Miro and your team: we deserve a Bloodlust and we want it, but you and your team also deserve recognition and support. I love what you do, it is fucking high quality material, know it, own it :)

Ryupyroa

I do agree with you IBT, just poking at the dev pipeline. I would love to see some nuance and reason to the story bits we've seen. Characters make the sex scenes and it feels like the characters are hollow. It feels like we haven't had any development since the forums honestly lol

Anonymous

"not so well greased up. Yet" This would be a good explanation if many of us hadn't already been here for 10 years now since Ayako SA and have seen this happen over and over again. The difference betwen then and now is this project is now supported by several different established 3DX brands including it's own store and has an entire team backing it. Appreciate the idea of supporting the starving artist but this isn't that anymore. This is now an entire brand that's running a business and is making value propositions. I'd wager everyone here loves what Miro does. Nobody would be paying 5+ dollars a month and have supported for this long if the content this Patreon was originally built from was bad. When content is released and it's high quality, kudos are always given. You're seeing the responses you're seeing because the quality and depth of content coming out has been on a distinctly downward trend for a while now, and the explained reasons (shifting focus to different projects than what was originally pitched) aren't inspiring confidence.

Hey fanof3dartoftheworld, The Christmas 2021 release date was cancelled. This is probably the best post to get you catch up on the current state of things. https://www.patreon.com/posts/58430600 -Marie

affect3d_miro

SoR -- maybe this month. On Monday I was told it's probably either going to be SoR or sexy Cerene walk wrapping up this week. Cypunk probably more likely in February due to how complicated the errors on that one are. -Marie

IBT

There's a reason for that ... :/ When sex scenes cum(?) first and character development is an afterthought (if that) ... there should be no surprise that the sex scenes that result from that feel lackluster and the characters seem shallow and hollow ... because they are! And it's hard to have any kind of a conversation about stuff here on Patreon in any public way (can be done via private message, but that doesn't help spark more public conversations). The forums were much better for hashing out conversations. Over here, if you write more than 280 characters people start complaining. :(

Ryupyroa

I agree. The longer we remain under exclusively patreon messaging instead of some superior conversational forum, the more it seems like Affect3d and Miro have just become megacorp and no one give a shit about our opinion. It's been roughly 4 months and none of the major criticism has been addressed. It actually feels like whatever is happening at their studio is getting worse since Christmas.

Ryupyroa

Not trying to shoot the messenger but February for Cypunk is top tier comedy. Thank you replying with some information Marie. It would be a wasteland without you.

CumStyleSamurai

I'm def excited for lore, that's pretty cool. Also neat that Cerene isn't like... vampire aristocracy or something, that makes her character even more interesting to me.

TheGreatCornholio

So there will be no focus on Bloodlust in February because of the Cypunk video? Awesome choice. Can you tell us Marie why the 1000 patron videos were so easily ignored for years only to become a massive priority just before Bloodlust's release date? Also congrats on the teams failing their estimates by about 100%...

affect3d_miro

Hey EmEn, for animations we mentioned at the start of the month, I was told earlier this week that either the Seed of Rebirth or the sexy Cerene walk would be finished next, but also that another blender animation could wrap up sooner (I assume this is the one James mentioned). The Blender animations can seemingly pop up out of nowhere at times because we don't announce these ones until they're very close to being done. This is just because we don't want to announce anything that we might cancel or that the assigned animator might not finish. It did sound like we'd be seeing one of the three mentioned above by the end of the month, but I will check in with miro this evening to see if I can get you and everyone else who is asking some updated ETAs since, like others have said, there's just a few days left in the month. Regarding the Blender Bloodlust transition, everything in the November 8th text update still holds. Pt. 1 is still being done in Maya cause it's too far along to abandon. Pt. 2 will be done in Blender, so all the assets in Maya are in the process of being ported to Blender. The stuff we release on Patreon from the Blender team will like end up in the fun stuff section of the main release (for anyone not familiar, the fun stuff section is just extras scenes we pack in as bonus content with main releases). -Marie

JohnboyX

At this point I'd just like to already see that troublesome CyPunk animation that has been forever in the works appearing unfinished or not so we can FINALLY move on to what most Patrons actually demand to see for a long long time actual Bloodcrown content including information about an updated release. Can't you talk some common sense into perfectionistic Miro Marie seeing how you're the voice of reason here and like the only empathic person who actually gives a damn how all those angry/heated up Patrons (myself included) feel ? Thanks for listening and enjoy your weekend 😉 Yours sincerely JohnboyX
