Progress Report: 28/11 - 25

Hello everyone and welcome to a brief progress report!

Ivy's project has once again come far, with the HQ renders now slotted into the Sony Vegas session and all the peripheral sounds except for plaps and squishes sorted. The plap and squish session is being made separately so as to save on system load, with Vegas being extremely prone on crashing, before I plan on slotting it in similarly - and that session reaches through Scene 4 at this point, meaning Scene 5 and the Outro remains in terms of those sounds, easily fixable in the coming weekend.

I otherwise only lack the VA work now and sadly the VA I hired has suffered a hardware issue that might delay things, though it is not certain, and I've got my fingers crossed that I'll be getting the VA work this weekend when I sit down to sort out the rest of the sound editing. Given how money has already exchanged hands, that the VA in question has already received replacement parts that he's working to install, and his lizard performance was absolutely stellar, I've given him a final deadline of the end of this year. If in the process of fixing his setup he believes that's not possible, I'll be given a refund that I can then hunt a new VA with, but I am hoping that won't be necessary. Either way the release this month is uncertain owing to this factor even though getting it out on the 30th would be my preferred release date, but you have my word that I'll be finishing the project the moment the VA stuff gets into my hands.

EDI's comic is also coming along, with Chapter 3 getting some love this Tuesday. The scene I am working on now won't be quite as long as the other ones, so I should be able to pose it relatively swiftly, even if it does have its quirks, and then get to the outro section. It's hard to gauge exactly how long it'll take, but while I don't see a release of Chapter 3 in December I imagine January/February might look plausible for it, though I can't promise anything there.

No gallery changes this week, though I've got my eyes on a few models that I mean to check out. More on that next time.

And speaking of next time, thank you, as always, for your continued support and kind words folks! The year is slowly coming to a close, and with December rolling around we'll have the usual holiday themed stuff going on with the content, so expect some merry stuff coming your way real soon. My eyes genuinely strain from having sat and manually placed plap and squish sounds for the last 4 hours or so, so I'm going to head off and get something to eat and a shower. Take care of yourselves out there folks, as well as each other!
