Progress Update #107 (Patreon)

Hello, everyone! I'm currently working on a Ririka animation. It started as a short, but now I think it might work best as a regular video. And I wanted to finish it this month but I caught a nasty bug a few weeks back and it's been a bit rough. Things haven't been very productive.

One thing that helps is that I can use backgrounds from the game in this animation. I found this application called Unreal Unlocker, that lets you take control of the camera in the game (and sometimes the command console too) and fly around all over the place, so it's very easy to capture any angle I need from the environment.

It takes a bit of time to compose the characters in the scene and tweak the lighting, but still, it's a lot faster and easier than painting all of the backgrounds. And I think it does look really nice after the characters are done and textured. So if everything works out the animation will be ready in April!

And this is the secret project that I mentioned in the last update. Holo X Break a new co-op beat 'em up game made by the HoloCure team, and Kay asked some of the artists in the community (including me! :D) to make a few emotes for the game. They are unlockable so I'm not going to post them here yet, go play the game and try to unlock them all yourself! It's out today and you can get it for free on Steam! Go check it out!
