*April Update* (Patreon)

Hey Gearheads!

A lot accomplished in a short period of time.  I'm excited to get back to work, so I'll jump right into it.

The Website Patreon integration is finally LIVE!!!! 🥳 

We've rebuilt the website from scratch and integrated it with Patreon, so with a couple clicks you can access all the past VR Video content in a super clean easy to view format.

Thumbnails clearly show you a preview of the scene and overlay buttons show you a screenshot from the desktop version or the public version of the desktop video.

There are 78 releases currently on the site, so there are still a couple more to add and we also left out a couple of the earlier test releases, that are still available in the archive.

We're also working on including the gaming content and making a special section for the bigger video releases, so you eventually won't need to come to the Patreon site to get past content.

Regardless of your support level, there's something there for everyone, so go check it out!

Great progress has been made for the Huntress Hole!  We've been testing different character optimization methods and first narrowed things down to 3 main methods for higher fps.  We tested with an army of 60 Penny's in an idle animation.  The first two methods we're ok and held steady at 50fps and about 80fps.  The third option is a little more limited for changes and can't be used for interaction but held up at 250fps, so it'll be great for background characters.  There's still some testing needed, but we can continue rolling these changes into the Huntress Hole to get the current version running better while we fine-tune the process.

We also have a brand new much higher quality Ruby and can't wait to show her to you.  There is a preview on discord if your curious, but you should be seeing her soon.

We're also working to get the previews rolling out again for the new animations, starting in the next day or two and once they start back up it'll open the flood gates for more.

We've been spending a huge amount of time on the POV content and over the last couple of weeks, really been working on getting content prepped for next month.  By the end of the week, we want to have all of April's releases locked and loaded.  That way we can speed the whole month focused solely on the Huntress Hole.  We'll be making tweaks here and there on the big three (Azula/Raven/Kora), but aside from that we want to make sure a ton of progress is made so you guys can see all the stuff we've been working on.

Thanks again for all your support!  Even though the numbers Patreon is showing have been all over the place, things have held pretty steady this month with a bit of growth.  I hope you guys are looking forward to April as much as I am.  March was a huge leap forward and April should be even bigger!
