Progress Report, 10/11 - 23
🕑 Added 2023-11-10 11:46:23 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to another attempt at a brief progress report!
Ivy project is finally in a really good stage for animation, with all necessary VA work finally having undergone cutting and trimming, and the process of inserting them into Blender being in the works. Alexia and Void's voicework are both beyond excellent and I'm truly fortunate to have found their talent for this project, which I fully intend to create a product worthy of. Motivation is running incredibly high, all the while the body faulters (I recently turned my hours around back to daytime from night shifts, so my mortal shell is struggling), but I remain convinced that I will be making rapid, and steady, progress over the coming weeks or however long this will take. The release date is still up in the air, but suffice to say that this is an incredibly important milestone for the project - I have never poured VA resources into a project without finishing it in the past, having even working through semi-burnout thanks to it, and in this event I am nowhere near tired of seeing Ivy's jiggly bits before me. On the contrary, I think this is already some of my, if not the best work of mine to date, so I hope to put it into a polished, solid state before delivering it into your hands.
Less Popular Ladies discord vote and Alley Crew Scenario poll are both underway, and it's looking like we're getting more surprises in terms of top contenders. I've since long given up on guessing who will make it to the top, having had my predictions humbled by my backers one too many times in the past. As a certain blonde man once said while racing down a tunnel in a jeep, "it's not over yet", so I won't be calling anything until the voting closes.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. Having stared at sound curves for quite a lot of hours my eyes are getting on the tired side, so I'll probably spend the rest of my Friday, paradoxically, simply listening to audiobooks or similar while getting some sorely needed rest. I hope you're holding up well out there folks, wherever you might be. We live in a pretty crazy world at times.
Take care of yourselves, and each other!

Thank you for this enthusiastic progress report, DH, but please take care, and keep away from a burnout situation, be it semi- or full-. No one has to gain from it, starting with your family. So please have a nice and restful week-end once in a while !
