Progress Report - September 17, 2024

Hello, everyone!

We're still a bit behind schedule, but things are cooking along pretty well. The delays mostly come from two sources, one of my own doing and the other more circumstantial.

The circumstantial delay is personal, and all I'll say on it is that having friend groups consi...

Progress Report - September 9, 2024

Hello, everyone!

So upfront, let me start the post by saying that the schedule slipped. The target September 13 release is a no-go. I'm now eyeballing September 20.

Last week, I stated that my goal for this week was to get all of the detail animation done this week. That didn't happen...

Hello, everyone!

So far, so good. We're still on schedule. I've gotten all of the dialogue lip-sync done, which leaves detail animation and non-dialogue lip-sync to be done.

I also put together a potential trailer cut for when the project goes live. You can click here to view ...

Hello, everyone!

I am pleased to report that everything is moving precisely on schedule. Like, alarmingly precisely. Before writing this post, I jumped back to last week's post and reviewed the schedule I had laid out, and what all I said I hoped to have done by today. And I had managed to ...

Hello, everyone!

The Pharmmetra video is currently out for dubbing. It's a big project, clocking in around 15 minutes total, with 6 characters to be voiced. It's a logistical nightmare, and I am expecting it to take a few weeks for all of the pieces to come into play.

Hello, everyone!

Progress on the Pharmmetra video is coming along well. As you can tell from this week's preview image, an unplanned animation loop made its way into the project. I wasn't really sure what all to have DVa doing during this sequence - in the storyboard, Pharah's just holding ...

Hello, everyone.

I hope you all have had a better week than I. Cuz mine's been rough.

As you probably already deduced, this week's poster isn't of Pharmmetra. And that's because the project is in a bad state.

Last week, I noted how I had 6.5 minutes of storyboard done, with 7 id...
