Edit: Uploaded a YouTube version of the animation because Google Drive is limiting playback, this is the first time this has happened so I apologize for the inconvenience. I've also updated the Google Drive file in an attempt to get past the limitation for those who want to view it there, but I'm not sure if it'll work, so I'd recommend watching it on YouTube!
The ROM is still being decrypted, but I've managed to recover a cutscene from the game, and restore it in a playable state. ;)
All jokes aside, this project was super fun to make, and really made me think outside the box on how to make an animation akin to an actual N64 game. They say that setting boundaries and restrictions on a project forces make you think of new or creative ways to solve problems, and I completely agree now. I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I hope you all enjoy it, every second creating it was a blast, and I hope it shows in the animation.
It was also a wonderful step away from the Office Animation, which is now entering it's 3rd month in full development, I've been grinding away at it for a while now, but taking a step back to finish another project in between has refreshed my energy to get back into the more complicated projects. I learned a ton from this experience, and was able to try things that I wanted to attempt in the Office Animation, like transitioning to new models for the rounder shapes so I'm not pushing the limits of models unnecessarily, and managing longer animations, because 64BB is my longest animation ever. 4 and a half minutes isn't super impressive in my opinion, but it's double the length of my usual animations, and I'm pretty proud of that, even tho this animation is pretty dialogue heavy lol.
But overall, again, I'm really happy with how this turned out. It's definitely one of if not the most interesting project I've worked on so far, and I hope you all enjoy it! :)
