The Road Ahead - An Overview of the Project (Patreon)
Content
Now that GGEX Part 2 is taken care of, it's time to make a summary of where we are, where we're headed, and maybe even what's in store for the future. I want to start off by thanking everyone for the immense support! In only one year, we've managed to gain over 5K followers on Twitter and 380+ supporters on Patreon. We will continue to try and improve as much as we can, expanding the team and our efforts to sooner or later be able to call ourselves a full fledged animation studio. Now, to begin with the announcement, I first want to introduce the team members and what their roles are, as their parts are just as important (if not more) than just the animation itself.
Peculiar Musician (SFX work & OST)

Peculiar Musician has been and will continue to be responsible for the audio work on all major upcoming animation projects. I'm sure you've seen from the previous videos that his work is truly outstanding. On top of this, some animations with a grander scope (more on that later) will be including a custom soundtrack made by him. I've seen seen his musical talents and can assure you that you will be blown away by the music that he produces.
Mimekiru (Asset & Character modelling)

Initially I intended on working on assets all by myself, but as this task became more and more of a burden, I've decided to get one of my good friends on board, Mimekiru. Being much more proficient than me at both sculpting and hard surface modelling, Mimi is sure to impress with the insane amount of talent and attention to detail that is put in all of their works. Already busy with working on character models, Mimi will soon have the first set of assets ready. I can't wait to show you!
As a measure to be able to pay for these talents, I will be moving the early access perk to Mega and Giga supporters only, please see this decision as a motivation for Pecu and Mimi to be compensated fairly for their amazing work. Moving on, what comes after the second part of GGEX? Here's a 3-month roadmap and the order of animations to be released. Of course, all of these will be available on Patreon first, with a delayed public release. VR versions will stay as Patreon exclusives:
April
1. Kaga Approach (2 of 3 Giga supporter animation + VR version)
2. Nejire Crush VR
3. Evil Eye of Doom (Remade giga animation from last year)
4. Kasumi At Large (Kasumi Yoshizawa growth animation for NekoMMD)
May
1. Bea Gigantamax (Bea giga growth animation)
2. Growing Girl EX Part 3 (Finale to GGEX featuring 2 endings)
3. Lucina's Mega Crusade (3 of 3 Giga supporter animation + VR version)
June
1. Unnamed Futaba Sakura growth animation
2. Genshin Grow Part 1
3. Unnamed Mae & Celica Multisize animation
4. Prinz Eugen VS Purifier (Mega & Giga Multisize animation + VR version)
Bear in mind that these are rough estimates. Some of these will be released as WIPs first, with a final polished version coming later on down the road. Now for the final and probably most exciting point:
The next funding goal (Official OVA series)
As we approach the next funding goal, I'm excited to reveal that we will be working (actually we've already made a decent amount of progress on it) on our own OVA series! Featuring a fully scripted, storyboarded and voiced storyline, with all the twists, custom soundtrack, arcs and spectacle you can wish for. This is what we've been truly aiming to bring to you for all this time. Much progress has been made in the last year, and I am finally confident in saying that we are ready to make this series a reality! Each episode will be running upwards of 15+ minutes, potentially with VR versions as well. I sincerely hope you are looking forward to it! It will be a truly amazing journey. Of course I can't give an estimate on it just yet, as this project is incredibily amibitious and will take a much longer time to produce than the other major animations, but I can assure that it's coming, and it will be insane.
To wrap it up, I want to thank you all again for the amazing amount of support and hope you will be looking forward to what's in store next! The future is looking very exciting, and I am immensily looking forward to bringing you the best content I, or rather we, can.
