Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly progress report!
Let's keep it short but sweet: major steps forward on both Lady of the Woods 2 as well as Project Blitzball this week.
Teaser for scene 1 of LotW2, which animation is now largely finished:

Scene 2 is underway, with the core animation being established and will feature, I hope, a rather radical scene transition that I haven't attempted before. It's related to the image above, so there's the teaser for that :)
Massive sound-extraction project is finally finished. It didn't sit well with me to just leave it half-arsed like I did last time. "Enough" sounds doesn't cut it, so now I've extracted literally every single Lulu sound from FFX. I might consider getting into FFX2's files just to scrounge up whatever dialogue she has there, but I have a feeling that's something for later.
Post-HDD transfer appears to be functioning well enough. Aside from a ton of standard folder pathing that I've had to sort out, SFM runs much smoother as a program on my new hard drive compared to my old one. The goal is still to have Lady of the Woods 2 finished by the end of the month, so let's hope my job and/or health doesn't throw any curve balls our way shall we :)
The AI for Blitzball in the game is also too dumb to manage anything but a 5-0 victory, but I believe I have found a work-around! Why this? Oh who knows :)
As always, thank you so much for your continued support, and for all of your kind words! Good to be back in the saddle again, and although I have a persistent cough, at least the cold has subsided to what's considered normal at this time of year up here :)
All the best, and take care of both yourselves and each other! This world could use a little more kindness :)
