Episode 10 Update - 04/18/21 (Patreon)

Okay - Here is the current situation:

In total, there are four musicians contributing to this project.  Two of them are completely done and have finished all of their work with me.  One is making the final edits to his final song.  The other has been working on his bit at a slower pace for the past few months.  Other than the very last musician, the music for the episode is virtually complete.

Since the last update, I had three characters to finish character animation on.  I have now finished two of them and am on the final character to animate.  This character will probably take me about two more weeks, given the length of his shots.

This is not counting the final character that I'd hired an animator to work on.  Unfortunately, after not hearing from him for the past two weeks, and then not being able to get a hold of him for the past week, he's just now informed me that his situation has changed and he will be unable to work on his character for at least another month.

After all character animation, I still have lighting and visual effects to do.  Once all of the character animation is done, I was planning on hiring out for particle effects and fluids, which is a process I should start now, but I'm currently struggling to shift my focus between animating, hiring, and directing.  I was hoping to lock down ALL character animation before tackling effects and extras, so this has really put a damper on things.  As for right now, I feel it is most important to continue focusing on the final character I'm working on.  The current plan is to finish all the character animation on my end, and then focus on everything that does not include the final character.

Apologies for the lack of regular updates.  I have been very stressed as of late and this project seems to be taking more of a toll on me that usual.
