Weekly Progress #55 (Patreon)

Sorry for the late post, but I've been focusing on finishing this Goku video, which I'm going to talk about.

This Week's Completed Videos
I finally...finally...FINALLY finished the Goku video. It took me a lot longer than I anticipated than I thought because I started graduate school last week. The one thing I'm starting to realize when animating these Xenoverse models is that the models feel extremely stiff. Even when I tried timing each body part differently, I feel like the models move like cardboard. I also find it strange because animating Saitama was pretty straightforward despite the fact it's a MMD model. I'm going to research ways to fix this stiffness issue in the future, but I managed to get the job done. The video will come out December 15th since I want to release parodies based on popular niches on my channel during this time, like Neptunia, Dragonball, etc. Here are a few screenshots for the Goku video.

This Week's Ongoing Projects
If you follow me on Twiitter, then you would know that I recently got into assembling Gunpla (Gundam Plastic ) model kits. It's honestly quite addictive. A...little too addictive. I even heard that these Gunpla models could also be referred to as “Plastic Crack.” So I was inspired to create a parody about it. I finished the script a couple days ago and am currently waiting for the voice lines. I also wrote the script for next year's Valentine's Day special which will be a Kancolle parody. I'm still waiting for one more voice line before beginning work on it.

If you guys didn't know, I asked my Youtube viewers what would they like to see for the next “It Came From The Stream” video. After looking at the results, it seems like the “Come Out And Play, Mr. Monster” clip was the winner. I'll get started on this ASAP.

In other news, I started to continue work on the Witcher 3 review. I also realized how I will be approaching reviews in the future. I will treat reviews the same way I treat animations. What I mean by this is that whenever I finish a review, instead of scheduling it on a different day from my animations, it will be that animation for the week. By doing this, I can add more to my animation backlog and I won't get stressed about working on reviews anymore. Hopefully. 

This Week's New Ideas
One of my Twitch viewers gave me a VERY good suggestion for this year's Christmas special. He suggested that this year's Christmas special should be focused on Death Note. Normally, I don't really like taking story suggestions because I feel like I'm stealing the person's idea, but that is honestly a great idea. I'm looking around for either a Light or L model on MMD and am going to contact a few people to see if it's possible to port it to SFM.

Another idea I had--well, one of the hosts for the DaiCast rather--was to do animations from the podcast I run. This will serve as not only good promotion material for the podcast, but it also can be good extra content for a rough month. I'll probably start looking into animatable moments next month.

And that's it! Thank you guys for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day or night! See ya!
