$2 Tier Discord Final Warning, Progress Report, 31/01 - 25

Hello everyone!

This is the final warning that the $2 tier will be getting Discord access come tomorrow Saturday 1st of February. Again, this will not confer access to content channels and is strictly for community purposes and fairness, given Substar's enforcement of all tiers having Discord access.

For those with their Discord accounts linked to their Patreon accounts who are not interested in such an arrangement, they can opt out of their Discord access to my server specifically by going here on Patreon:
Settings -> More -> Connected Apps -> Discord

For those who are interested, here's how you can link your Discord to your Patreon:
https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-Getting-Discord-access

When you arrive to the Discord please do read through the #rules page before proceeding to Post. I'll have an announcement ready as well in that specific channel with the above disconnect instructions so you can find them easily.

In more progress related events, Scene 1 of the Ivy project is now finished. It was a bit of a pain working with and around my older animation style, and the project will persist at 30fps 1080p owing to the intro simply being unable to handle 1440p due to the scene load otherwise immediately making it crash. This all said, Scene 2 will begin production next Thursday and should see a lot of progress given the scheduled time dedication. I still don't have an actual release date that I can approximate for it given that I will need to contact some more VA talent once I have a better overview of what I need from them, pay them and then get their work, but I've made more progress in the past few weeks than I did for several months last year, so the new schedule appears to be working well.

Chun-Li's model saw some rework as well, and has replaced her old one in the gallery. Suffice to say she's a bit thicker, particularly around the legs, than her previous incarnation was, and she's been hitting the gym a little more. Sheeva from MK9 (my preferred version of her out of all the games) also joins the gallery, and while her model does have its quirks I think she could perform pretty admirably if given the chance.

My mind is tired, but I do think this was it for this week. New password for the archive will be generated on Saturday as well, so the old one will cease to function.

TL:DR:

$2 tier discord invites on Saturday, final warning
Ivy Project Scene 1 finished
Chun-Li updated and Sheeva added to gallery
New archive password on Saturday (1st of February)

Thank you, folks, as always, for your continued support and for your kind words. January is always a rough month both in terms of the weather (or available light up here) and money wise, so I hope you all are doing alright out there, all things considered.

Take care of yourselves out there, as well as each other!
