Instead of a spherical person, today I thought I should just upload an aesthetically pleasing default Blender cube.

Anyways, onto the update.
October so far has been quite a busy month for me, especially this week, so I haven't had a ton of time to work on the animation recently.
On top of that, I have a really bad habit of making changes to the model that require significant changes to the animation.
I had the entire sequence animated (besides lip-sync and polish), but I just couldn't stay happy with it and that's why we're here.
This project is getting ambitious, but I'm not toning it down.
So I'll cut to the chase, I'm putting it out when I think it's done, no ETAs or release dates, just when it's ready.

The idea was that I'd just have the sequence, but after writing the script for the VA, I kinda made it into a basic story, which from what I've seen is the first of it's kind on this medium.
So far I believe this upcoming animation will be the first 3D animation sequence with an actual story behind it, although it's quite a basic story still, it sets up a few things I want to do later down the road.

One of which I'm actually going to talk about.
I recently tried a prototype of a game called "The Tale of Ebony Floe" from www.deviantart.com/puff-knight and it sparked my desire to build a game.
What I'm currently trying to work on along side the animation is what I'm calling "The Expanstriss", an action game where you control the Expanstriss and use her expanding abilities to defeat foes.
I'm putting out the prototype when it's also playable to some degree.

And my last talking point, these things are playing into what I'm calling the Expansion.
(God damnit I need to stop with the inflation naming stuff)
Basically what it is is a universe featuring characters like Ayna and the Expanstriss, and building said universe with new characters and stories.
The upcoming animation sets up a few things in this universe that will play into the Expanstriss, and I'll expand on the universe from there, I already have some interesting characters that I haven't shown off yet.

It's ambitious as hell, but I want it to be.
I want to bring this medium to new heights, tell new stories, test the boundaries, and maybe capture the attention of others outside of this community.

See you when the animation is done, or when the prototype is finished!
