Please enjoy this beta render of the sword used for for Hyper Ellie's hyper animation!

We have an background story for the Hyper animation by Rapha who implemented it:

"Initially I was thinking about the sword being dropped in a pond, then Mother Poppo appearing with two totally-not-HEllie's swords, asking for her to choose, somewhat like Aesop's fable. So I needed a version of the sword that could be moved around, so I modelled it o.o

Then I thought about using it, then the engine made sure to step on my hopes and dreams, and writing new stuff on DX9 isn't recommended, so I decided to prerender and use as place holder.

Then I realized that making it appear nice, make sense and not be a 30 second story would be impossible.

Then I reduced it just to "Lost the sword" -> "Found the sword" -> "Yay"

Then I progressed to make it a reality, then in my head the units and the field were in the way, so I thought about doing some action likes on the background, cause it would be cool. But then it would be more complex and I was thinking it was going to release on new year. So I settled just for the field BG with the faces as emotion indicators.

Then I asked for the final version of the image from Coffgirl.

But then the field BG became just weird in some fields, so the solution ended up being a close on HEllie, then the faces became irrelevant, so they disappeared. The end o.o"

By the way, this post is available to Patreon supporters only for a week, and will then become available for public viewing. We're thinking of mixing in this kind of posts too, let us know what you think!
