Progress Report + Notice

Progress Report:

I've completed the intro and started working on the second scene. This one will be pretty short (around 20-30 seconds), as it’s mainly for storytelling purposes. Next, I need to decide whether to insert another brief scene to continue the story or go directly to the one I’ve already prepared. So, depending on my choice, there will be either three or four scenes.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll have the budget to commission a voice for this animation, as it’s already 2 minutes and 10 seconds long, and I’m not even halfway through the final scene. I may end up adding some money from my own wallet, even though that goes against the purpose of the Fanbox and Patreon.

Notice:

1. As soon as this animation gets released, Septemeber scenes are going to be considered as expired.

2. A user made me aware that my past scenes have been uploaded to external sites. People paid for these scenes, yet someone among you decided to spread them for free. I’ve already managed to take them down, even though I had to share personal information to do so. Quite honestly, I’m genuinely upset. I knew this might happen eventually, but after only two months? Really?

I wanted to create a more relaxed and open relationship with my followers, but I suppose I’ll have to go back to setting clearer boundaries. I've been handling issues in private messages at all hours, even when I was busy with other things. And this is the thanks I get.

So, I’m retracting my previous offer: the scenes won’t be free. They will only be available to the "Super Supporter Tier," as before. I had planned to make them free to ease the pressure, but at this point, I honestly don’t care. I’ll still be working at my own rhythm. In the past, I’ve rushed to ensure people got something worth paying for, but I’m stopping that now. When I started the Patreon and Fanbox, I intended to create one animation per month, but I consistently delivered more than necessary. From now on, I’ll be sticking to the original plan—one animation per month, regardless of the amount of scene data in it.

This doesn’t mean I’ll slack off and just make a few short, repetitive loops. I’ll put my usual effort into every project.

Do I feel bad about going back on my word? A little, but I also feel betrayed.

I’ll eventually find out who redistributed the scenes without my permission.
