Wishing you all a great New Year's to finish off 2017 as we enter the next 365 days of our lives.

In case you missed it, here's my part for the Tree Collab hosted by Hyun's Dojo:

Current Project Progress

STORY

FM3K's story has been solidified thanks to some of your guys' feedback.

Although it's not perfect, I am satisfied enough to produce the pilot, which will last for a solid 30-40 minutes of run time.

Besides, we're finally entering production!

GRAPHICS

I've actually begun producing code and assets for the game (as you can tell by the featured image).

I'm having a blast with all the cool 3D things you can do in Unity, which is the choice software this time around. Sorry Flash. The lighting styles and camera tricks you can achieve with specular maps are pretty sweet.

I plan to take full advantage of this for the project.

With the characters fully-written the episode, I can finally nail down their visual designs. Here's some drafts for a fiesty/feminine-looking Fox.

AUDIO

We've got PowerMeep back again doing original music for the project. For the main theme, we're going for a somber and contemplative vibe, which will eventually build into an adventurous melody.

I think Ben is having fun playing with his new (and expensive) sound packs, full of orchestra and some sci-fi instruments.

Plus, I've begun the audition process for the voice cast!

I'm new to the world of Voice Acting, so I was really delighted by the big response the casting call has received. We've gotten over 100 auditions for the 6 roles so far. A majority of which for the lead/supporting roles of Jack, Sarah, and Arthur.

It's so cool to hear actors' takes. Some are better than others, but listen for yourself!

If you fancy yourself a role, feel free to submit an audition. The lead roles are even paid (funded by you, The Patrons ™).
