News update - Further down the hatch (Patreon)
Content
We're almost there! The stomach/belly sequence, additional saliva/goo and the final tuning of the textures/lighting and I think we'll be able to call this one finished. There's the audio too although I will be outsourcing that to an experienced audio engineer who has expressed interest in working on this project. I don't know about you, but i'm pretty excited about that!
That said I am interested in you guy's thoughts on the new throat/gullet sequence. I've gone through several iterations on how to visualize it. A wide open gullet (looked too much like a tunnel and was plain besides) A clenched gullet (looked interesting but was visually disorienting) and finally the compromise you're looking at in the update. To give the idea of a narrow, tight passage that still lets you see ahead.
I cannot promise any changes, but your feedback is appreciated. I am especially curious about what you think I should do with the final moments before the camera enters the stomach. Note, you will be able to see the stomach proper as soon as the camera enters in the final animation, its just kept dark for the purposes of this work in progress.
Well, I guess that about covers it. In the previous post I expressed an interest in updating more often in the interest in keeping things rolling along, its been 11 days since the last news update, opposed to the usual 15. Its a start!
