Episode 9 Progress - 3/7/19 (Patreon)

Hello friends,

Over the past month, the episode has made significant progress.  At this point, I don't even know how to quantify it.  I now have a rough draft of the full episode.

However, my situation at home and my personal life has come to a point where it is very difficult for me to focus and work effectively.  And there is still much to do.  So, in an effort to lock this project down, I have resorted to something unconventional.

After I send off this message, I will be driving for four hours into the desert, where I have rented out a hotel room by a river.  I intend on locking myself away for the next 8 days and finishing all of the remaining animation for the episode, turning the rough draft into a final.  There is a total of 21,725 FRAMES of animation for me to finish.  Some are significantly harder then others.

When I return, the remaining time of the month will be used for lighting  (which I intend to hire someone for) and rendering (which I acquired a render farm for).  At that point, after making the final adjustments to the sound, the episode will be complete.  If everything goes according to plan, you shall have your episode by the month's end.

Thank you for your continued support.  I will update you if anything comes up.  You've been everything to me.
