We've hired an Animator!
It was tough, I had at least 5 people apply for the work of being an animator in a freelance capacity but fixed short term agreement. There was one animator who blew my expectations out of the park.
So a big welcome to Chups! Who will be credited as Lead Animator for Bryn's Adventure.
After completing an example animation which was the Anal H-Scene, it was an amazing result. So this animation is now complete and the even better news is that we've agreed to complete at least another 4 animations which 3 are all the H-Scene caught animations. The 4th is the School 3 After-Toilet one which is what I've been generating and polishing the graphics for. These animation projects will be all set for a short term agreement over a period of time that is well balanced and fair.
What this means,
Originally I would generate the graphics, polish them, and then sequence them in Photoshop one by one, with each bit of rigid movement. Then I would need to program at least 100 lines of code, with timing, which image, layers, sound effects, screen effects, dialogue. So this will save a lot of time where I can focus that back into programming!
So I will still generate the graphics, and polish them to a good quality. Hand them over to Chups and they will do the animation, and trust me. It is Smooooooooth. Then I will focus on SFX which should be really easy with timings. I'd like to share the example outcome, but you'll have to wait a little bit longer as Patreon won't let me share it as a public post. I'll post it for locked paid supporters at a later date.
Currently
I am working on the School 3 graphics, they're ready to animate. And boy, this scene is looking 'rough' if you get my drift. This scene will have 2 different outcomes after the animated scene to how well Bryn is known in the School District [Caught X Times in School District] and this will reflect in the End Game Scenes.
I will next continue to program this into the game, which hopefully now will be shorter now with animation work and get a quicker release of V0.94, and whilst I wait for the animation process. I will start looking into the tasks from V0.95 which will be re-generating new graphics of old scenes (Especially the first every H-Scene which now looks silly compared to the others) and look at the dialogue.
So hopefully with well managed tasks for each release, it can be quicker. Admittedly one of the hardest things was to sequence the existing H Scenes and all over H actions like that.
Thank You
But remember, this project is all thanks to you, the supporters. Because of you, we have been able to fund and hire an animator and a great one of that!
