My dear patrons,
thank you for your continued support.
Currently, the progress on Mona's part-time job 2 is about 70%.
At this rate, I should be able to distribute the workaround in mid-December.
My apologies for the delays.
As previously noticed, I'll be putting all my efforts into finishing the Mona series in 2021.
Preparations are being made so the November subscribers will be able to receive the reward.
(Tier 1 subscribers will be able to receive the looped animation.)
From 2022, I'll be changing the way my page works.
It will no longer be a monthly-based reward, but an irregularly scheduled reward in order to increase production time.
So the subscription will truly become a donation instead.
As reward becomes irregular, the page will now contain more in between production processes.
Gumroad page will continue to operate as normal, so if payment becomes a burden, you may always use that option instead.
As for the reason behind irregular production.
- First being, my failing health.
Currently, I'm doing everything but the few outsourced assets.
Partitioning of illustration, parts rigging, animating, sound sync, etc...
It has been a great burden for me to take on all the processes alone.
But because of the products I make, it is difficult to bring in assistants or collaborators.
I work 7~13 hours a day but it seems that my health is no longer the way it use to be in the past.
If I continue at this pace, I don't see a healthy future ahead so I hope to prevent anything big from happening in the future.
- Second being, quality.
As time passed, I became better and better at animation
and I also became capable of implementing so much more things I haven't been able to in the past.
But these require more time, and because I only have so much time at hand per month, I had to give up on implementing these elements in the end.
I've been sacrificing many rich expressions and so forth again and again that, I realized I can't make more fulfilling higher quality animations if I continue on this way.
I hope to continue to provide better work for a long time by making these changes.
I know this may disappoint many, and I'm truly sorry for you guys.
