Sheela Model update for Tamer Videogame

I haven't posted anything for the videogame in a bit, so there is a bunch to write about. I'll make a quick summary.

- Game is going much quicker than we thought. We are still thinking it will take 2 years, but we'll have a playable combat demo done by the end of January 2023.

- Models go through a few different phases: 2D concept art, 3D sculpting, 3D pixel modeling, rigging, etc... I'd say about 60% of the dinosaurs are through 2D concept art, and 40% are through 3D sculpting. Only Jinx is through the 3D Pixel modeling, but he's looking awesome. I'll post some stuff for him soon.

- We are testing 3 different female modelers for Sheela. We'll pick the best one of the three and use him for Galmine, Trel, and Kacerie. Those will be the only women in this game, since the story will go to the end of book 2.

- The video attached is the first artist to finish the bust (head) for the Sheela model (we are waiting for the other two to finish). The model is based on the 2D concept art done by the same artist who does my erotic art. You can see the art in the bottom left hand corner for comparision.

- The first 8 seconds of the this video show the FoV (Field of View) that is correct given the concept art. THE REST OF THE VIDEO IS TOGGLING THROUGH DIFFERENT FoV's. It's like looking through various fish eye lenses of a camera. Don't be all "OMG that looks so weird. She looks wrong!" it's just an example of how different she'd look depending on FoW changes we can make in the game system.

- There is going to be a separate Patreon for the videogame when we have a promotional video (which will probably be Sheela running through the jungle away from a dino). There are many reasons we are doing a different one, but the top two are:

1) I am not actually managing the video game stuff (I have a director who is super awesome who is doing pretty much everything but the conversational script writing), and he is better suited to give weekly updates and manage the flow of concept art and movies to you guys, and

2) This patreon is going to be to support the Tamer visual novel and erotic art work for my books, but it's really author focused. I'm counting on a lot of new fans coming to my books from the video game, but video game business is just way way way bigger than novels. I'm one of the best selling fiction authors for men in the world, but the amount of $ I make every year is table crumbs compared to the top video game studios. Way more people play games than read books, so I need a support platform that is 100% devoted to the stuff that the game studio is putting out. 

I'll let you know when the new patreon for the game will be up, but it will probably be 2-4 months. If you are going to do one or the other, I'd prefer you stay with this one, since it's supporting the visual audiobook and the erotic art, and I'm 100% confident that the gamer community will over support on that videogame patreon, since the community seems to go crazy for any videogame that has vaginas in it. Seriously, there are tons of vaporware erotic games out there with Patreons making more per month than what your favorite authors make all year, and none of these games have any kind of development movement. They are just scamming horny dudes. It's pretty sad, but also means that I'm going to come into this industry, deliver an amazing product with my awesome stories, and take all the $$.
