Campaign news and what's up. (Patreon)

So I spoke too soon about things going back to normal after the storm. Turns out it's one of the worst 2 weeks of living at my place. We have power and one of the areas unaffected, but had to redistribute to affected areas til they got to fix shit up.

Everyday for 12 days, we have no electricity for 6-9 hours. Internet was as bad as one of their towers was hit affecting us to a crawl. I can't even load patreon to reply to messages. But I do read them from the gmail with its handy dandy dialup display option.

 Electricity has finally stabilized, internet is wonky but I can load up patreon more successfully now, so apologies if I was again out of range. Really wanted to keep everyone updated but the internet just won't let me and I can't risk logging in at shops specially in this country.

At the time of calamity, my daughter turned 3 last 27th, so it was also eating some time. Knowing I won't be able to do much anyways, I just did 2 hours a day coding since then and diverted my time finding animators.

I emailed a bunch of people already in my wanted list and attended local conventions and visited 3 animation studios here. There have been several people interested that meets the requirements but had no porn samples to show. They said they'll send over a loop or two, so I'll bring news when they do.

LUCKILY, in one of my wanted list and animator I have been following for a time now, Chris Armin is very interested to work FULL TIME for Divine Arms. (god i wanna cry) Just look at that awesome loop. Check this stuff on newgrounds, too!

And man, just look at the sweet animation. Perfectly fits Divine Arms if you ask me.

 

Anyway, I'm closing the deal with him soon, so I was wondering:

Should he follow the style I do for Siggy's face? Or let him do his own rendition? The hairstyle and everything will be the same but I'm wondering if he'd do the face instead. I'm personally fine with it, but I sure like to hear your thoughts.

Here's also what's going to happen and what he will animate as soon as he gets viperv official: The first area has 5 monsters: Ganker, Bloodhunter, Rapevine, Fungus Brute and probably Bloodhunter chieftain.

(great mother, internet just died again while I was typing this. smh)

He will do the animations on everything not covered yet, and redo everything I've done. The old ones I did will still be in the game but be optional or gallery unlocked. The same way that happens when I start inviting guest artists / animators. Our works go there while we keep everything consistent with Chris' style.

 

Anyway, we'll pay him well and will go about some legal stuff to sign and impose some reasonable rules, so we don't keep off track again. I never planned to do this solo and after some time that I was, everything was sad, heavy and stressful.

Early next year, we will also have someone manage the whole campaign, (weekly updates, animated sketches to show, etc.) run the planned website and hire extra staff for everything else needed to run this better than I do alone.

Anyway I still owe you guys the video update and I am working on it. All I needed was the power to truly stabilize and finish personal stuff.  Rapevine AI is still shitty. Once I get that better working, I'll start doing the new minigame.

Again, thanks for your support and your understanding.
