Underverse and Metadora updates.
Since I’m almost done with the Underverse 0.4 release, the 1st season finale for Underverse, I wanted to let you know what’s coming next.
I’ve decided to take a very long break from Underverse and Undertale. Animating this upcoming episode left me very exhausted. It’s the longest animation I’ve done so far, and it’s going to be the last one. Honestly I’m tired of working for so many months, everyday, for more than 12 hours straight just for one animation. I don’t want to get tired of my job as animator. I love what I do, but my health just can’t handle with it.
I can’t promise you I’ll make more animations about Underverse/Undertale this year, if so, It will be very short ones since I’m quite interested on making the 10 XTale timelines. What I’m trying to say is: don’t expect for an Underverse 0.5 and the other episodes.
I want to start making different content for my Youtube Channel and my social media. Content I’ll be able to release more often, at least once or twice per month. Especially with videos that only last around 5 or 7 minutes.
I’m willing to reach this shedule goal with my original project, Metadora.
For this year, I want to make some animated shorts before starting with the true episodes, which I’m currently posting them on my Patreon in storyboard format as a reward for all my 5 dollars and up Patrons.
The reason I won’t show the true episodes yet, it’s because I will need a huge cast of voice actors, both in english and spanish, sound design and music, even if the episodes are planned to be short, these animations will count with high quality voices and sounds, and if I want quality, it’s obvious I must pay for their work, I want to pay them for their help!
That’s why I don’t want to take risks with the first episode, and I’m going to try to call people’s attention with the animated shorts instead that won’t require long dialogues. If there’s success, maybe I would be able to create a kickstarter for this, and also for my own animation studio with better equipment.
If you’re interested on watch the storyboards while I’m working with the shorts, I’d be super glad if you can support me on Patreon, even spreading the word will help me a lot.
Starting a new project that doesn’t have a huge fanbase like Undertale is so hard, but I’m willing to do everything to continue my life as an independent artists with my original projects. And I trust all people that are following me to keep going and stay here for a long time.
So, that’s all I wanted to say. Thank you so much for reading this post <3
