Added 2021-10-26 08:29:00 +0000 UTCAlright, I'm just going to make it official, these regular updates are going to have to come monthly instead of weekly/biweekly/whatever. Going through a big transition at my real job so I have to stay on top of things so nothing falls behind there. It's pretty good news overall, I've just generally been too busy to think about updating stuff. But I definitely can't forget about everyone, so I promise these updates won't come less often than once a month.
So what's happened since last update? Here we go.
Most of my time has been spent editing audio for the Jessie x Arbok project. It's tedious work, and its a discipline I don't have as much practice in (though that's quickly changing). To make things worse, I decided to do all the editing in Adobe Audition instead of Audacity, so there's a learning curve to contend with. But I think I have the basics down and things are becoming a bit easier the more I work with it. I'm actually liking it a lot better than Audacity, the workflow is a lot less destructive, and it seems great for working on multiple tracks at once.
Despite it being slow and challenging, I'm pretty happy with how the sound is coming together. I have pretty much all of the sources recorded, so it's just a matter of time to cut it all together and get it in game.
I'm also considering posting a limited live version up on Newgrounds, if I do that I'll also post a standalone version here.
In other news, here's my progress on Samus:
She's starting to look pretty good, and I really went all out on the Metroids. I'm still trying to decide how I want to put the final scene together, considering using AfterEffects to composite the background metroids (I want them to be animated) because I'm not sure how Spine will handle that many objects. I could put it all together in Unity, but then I'll need more code and I risk it spiraling into a bigger project (then I'll want to add sound, and other stuff...). We'll see. I already want to add at least one, maybe two alternative versions to include some enemies from Dread. (Played it, loved it, ready to make some pr0n of it). XD
Not much else to look at, the rest of my time is just on private commissions. (Feel free to DM me if you're interested).
Thanks for your support this month, see you next time!
