Hey gang! Just want to take a few to talk about what's ahead in the coming months!

First and foremost, here we have my first attempt at rotoscope animation! I decided to start with rotosope because I feel like it's sort of training wheels to getting into original animations. This is three seconds of a royalty-free video clip from a site called Pexels. It's thirty frames and it took me an entire day, but I think with practice I could get faster. The challenge will be learning to add unique features to the models, I think. I attempted to slim the waist and increase the bust of the model slightly, and as you can see it gets pretty wobbly in those areas. Still, I was excited to see this come together. 

So why am I just getting into this now? Well, the visual novel is nearing completion, and Kal and I are both starting to kick around ideas for what comes next. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of work to do on the VN. The ending calls for around four times the art assets of any single update released so far, but we're making good progress. Kal has started taking classes to expand his programming abilities for future works, and as for me, I'm thinking that whatever side project comes next will be in the form of animation. I'm picturing some short erotic animations released to everyone, with maybe some dev diaries/process stuff for the higher tiers to replace the loss of early game access and names in the credits. I haven't settled on anything solid yet, if you have any suggestions or if you've heard about what other animation-based creators are offering as rewards, I'm open to ideas. 

On the storefront end, we're looking to do a set of Liz magnets in the near future that I'm hoping you guys will like. The store has gone over great so far, but we're still looking for ways to improve it. Thinking we might put together a sort of customer review survey here pretty soon? Never done a survey around here before, be curious to know what your thoughts on that might be.

As for me personally, I'm in high spirits when it comes to my work, and looking forward to what new ventures the future might hold. I'm excited to be finally getting into the Warren and Morgan scene, and I hope you like the direction I've decided to go with it as it progresses. Still living the hobo lifestyle and saving up for a house to live in, trying not to drink too much, and blowing money on video games I rarely have time to play. Speaking of which, the perfect reviews and general fomo overtook me this morning, and I picked up Elden Ring. Looking forward to getting my ass whupped tonight after I finish work for the day. 

And that covers it for now! If you have any suggestions or feedback on anything I've mentioned, I'd love to hear it. Your input is very helpful and as always your support here is greatly appreciated!
