What? I get up early to prepare for Halloween display work and no one posts an update? Are there no patrons on this thread? Get over to Cheeky's Patreon page and become one already so someone else can post these things!
Midweek Update
Patrons only
Oct 10 at 9:04pm
Hey Folks,
Just a quick update (it's almost 2am and up for work in 4.5 hrs, so won't babble on too long).
Firstly, I wanted to say thanks again for the support and the positive comments on Episode 7. It is really appreciated. I didn't know if it was the right call (postponing the party scene and concentrating Episode 7 on pre-party only), but I went with my gut and based on the feedback, so far, it looks like it was a popular choice.
I've been working on Episode 7x (or Episode 8 if it turns into a full episode, I still haven't decided, yet) since the start of the month (took the first two days off after Episode 7 dropped off). Because I was away last week (work trip), I didn't have access to my rendering rig, so worked solely on the script and a rough estimate would be that the script is approx. 40% done. I have some renders for the party already created, but this was based on the old party script that I have since scrapped, so I need to figure out which of these scenes I can still use . But I'm sure that plenty of them are still relevant.
Usually I work on the renders/script in parallel, so the process I used this time (script first, renders later) has worked out well so far and might be a process I adopt for future episodes (will see how it goes).
And lastly, I have started advertising for a new member of the team to help with the workload. Obviously having a second person on board will help with quality/quantity and the ability to get out an episode at regular intervals. I have a high number of applicants already, so it will take a while to whittle it down to someone who is a good fit for the project. Once I have someone on board, it will take a while for us to figure out how best to collaborate, but I'll keep you posted.
If any of you patrons are DAZ artists and would like to apply for the position, please send me a private message.
Thanks,
CG
