(There is a TL.DR. at the end of the post!)
Ahoooy me hearties!! Quite a nice view, isn't it?
What you see here is the result of quite a few nights without sleep and maaaany cups of coffee! A two-minute video is going to be revealed and delivered inside the end of the month package for all my Jumbo Popcorn Cup supporters! yet I couldn't miss the opportunity of sharing the news (and this little loop) with all the crew!
BIIIIIIIG shoutout to FruitBloodMilkshake that made such an amazing rigging and system of physics! Without their amazing job, this wouldn't be possible!! And big, big thanks to LeGourmet, who connected FruitBloodMilkshake and me, and many other artists when the captain needed them the most!!
You are my heroes!
Thank you to all my sailors! But special thanks to all those who chose to support me on the higher tier, because thanks to you, we made this possible!! You are the best, and the best you deserve!!

Notes on the content and animation:
Since I've been experiencing quite a few issues with the animator I was heavily counting on, I decided to animate my pieces by myself. Unfortunately, finding the people I would work with (that would live up to the quality I was looking for) proved to be quite a time and willpower-consuming task. Not to say, also the issues with the previous animation and the new wild taxes that appeared out of the blue... which left me with very little determination and energy for everything that had to be done. But mostly without time.
After organizing myself (More or less) I realized that weeks have passed, and my schedule simply stopped existing. Finally, the last week of November I could gather all the tools and people, and made it happen in quite a record time!
I already contacted a Voice Actress, who proved to be more than capable of managing the challenge of Jester's voice and has already started with it! Same goes for the sound designer, yet that might take a bit longer. So please be a bit more patient with the mixed version with sounds for this one, as I will update it as soon as it gets done! (Most likely the first days of December!)
Nothing more to say than invite you to join me in joy for this new adventure!! Which I really believe it's gonna be incredible!
This is just the beginning!
TL.DR: I lost a lot of time at the beginning of the month due to plenty of issues. Recovered from these and ready to go. Finished animation will be delivered to all my Jumbo Popcorn tier($10) supporters and updated with sounds and voice the first week of December.

Listening to: Clairvoyant (Two Steps from Hell)
Thinking: This might have taken loads of time... I'm gonna improve that with the next ones.
Feeling: Pumped as hell! Ready for the next adventure!
