Animation Progress & June Priorities Adjustment! (Patreon)

Good afternoon, everyone!

I'm constantly amazed by how fast time seems to go by while I continue to develop our next major breast expansion and height growth animation. I blink and another week goes by!

I wanted to take a moment to provide a progress update on how close the animation is to completion, as well as present some great news regarding Haley's Secret, the debut of Jacob and the Raven's Kiss Chapter 2, and our newest community-voted-on story! Let's get into it!

Animation Progress Update

Since last week, all environment and lighting designs have been completed. This has been the most ambitious yet rewarding design-from-scratch project I've ever done, and I hope the love and effort can be seen through the mysterious and creepy ambiance!

Not only that but all prop and outfit designs have also been completed. Lara Croft received a much-needed wardrobe overhaul to help show off those sexy curves. Something tells me she won't be fitting into them soon enough! ;)

I've begun posing and animating Lara Croft's acrobatics and setting up the cameras to follow her tactical movements and actions. She's searching for something! It's been a lot of fun, but it also made me realize how big of a task I have undertaken. Although Lara's hair and outfit physics are done, I have yet to work on the juicy soft-body physics of her... "larger attractions." This, of course, omits potential clothing ripping and other simulations that come along with a convincing growth sequence. I bring this up because I estimate this animation's development cycle to take another 2-3 weeks BEFORE I can begin rendering out each frame of this 1-3 minute animation piece. That would make for an awfully bland and uneventful June, right? Because of that, I want to temporarily step away from the animation and get some much-needed story updates and rewards for you all! This brings me to our next topic of discussion.

June Priorities Adjustment

"Beetlebomb, we need more story panels!" Thankfully, no one has angrily messaged me that yet! In fact, all of you have been so incredibly patient and cool about all the focus and time I've been putting into the animation. However, this doesn't stop me from worrying that I'm not providing enough juicy BE and GTS content for the month of June. So, I'm going to fix that! Starting immediately, I'm shifting my focus back to our stories. This means a CHUNKY Haley's Secret update followed by a big JRK Ch2 development cycle that will be accompanied by a bunch of new outfits, character reveals, and lineups.

I also wanted to quickly touch on the newest unnamed project, codenamed "The Mini-Giantess Prescription Pill." This was a story that you lovely individuals voted on a while back. I've since written out a large portion of the story and am SUPER EXCITED to get started on it. Like, you have NO IDEA how excited. It's going to be so good. However, as it is probably very apparent, I believe I've currently bitten off more than I can chew in terms of simultaneous projects. So, the plan is to have this story replace Haley's Secret once it is complete. I believe this decision is an important one because it will allow for the Lara Croft animation to NOT be a dead-in-the-water project, gathering dust and pushed aside for other priorities on the conveyor belt.

My hopes and wishes are that you all agree with this decision, but, as always, I'm eager to hear everyone's opinions. My passion to create the best of the best BE and GTS content is fueled by all of you lovely people. If you have a moment, let me know what you think! I'm open to other ideas and criticism.

With that said, here's what the revised June Priority To-Do List looks like:
June 2022 Priority To-Do List(in order):
1) Finish Gabby's Towering Solutions! (COMPLETE)
2) Libidine short-story continued! (3 panels) (COMPLETE)
3) Release of my next MAJOR animation project! (POSTPONED)
4) Several frequent Haley's Secret story updates! (IN PROGRESS)
5) New characters, outfits, and lineups for Jacob and the Raven's Kiss, Ch2!!!

Thank you, as always, for your amazing support!
