HEY GAMERS it's really early in the morning when im typing this but i literally couldn't wait any longer LOL
I'm PROUD TO ANNOUNCE that Dread Me Not: The Animated Series is currently in PRE PRODUCTION!
So whats that mean exactly?
Dread Me Not is a series I started in 2018 as a webcomic. It only lasted about 50 pages, but I eventually decided a webcomic was NOT the best way to tell the story, and would require me to compromise on my original vision for the series, so I put it on an indefinite hiatus.
I've continued workshopping it over the years, and a lot of things have changed since the initial release! I hope those who enjoyed the comic before will like this story even more!
The changes in the series story are the result of a clearer vision overall of the messages I'd like to convey.
The series officially entering pre-production means that you'll start to see more and more updates as time goes on!
The plan at the moment is to produce six episodes (between 10-20 minutes each) as a first season, and then begin releasing them publicly.
There is currently no release date because this project is just starting to get off the ground. Many portions of the script are completed, as well as multiple pages worth of storyboards.
In the coming [Amount Of Time], you may see posted casting calls, or announcements about the official Dread Me Not team! I've already gotten a few folks together (to be announced at a later date) that will be helping me along with this project, and I'm so excited to share more details with you!
Again we all have a lot of work ahead of us, and it'll be a while before DMN is actually something you can sit down and watch, but despite this, I hope I've at least gotten you a bit interested in what the future holds for these characters.
I'd like to cap off this long thread with a brief story synopsis:
Dread Me Not is the story of 3 strangers meeting in a desolate place known as "The After". There are very few other people around, and powerful creatures known as "Rave Demons" roam the land, attacking anyone they see.
When the cast awakens in this strange wasteland, they resolve to team up, protect each other, and help anyone in need that they come across.
Dread Me Not explores themes of loss, friendship, queer relationships, reconciling personal trauma, navigating the slow and difficult process of healing, and much more!
Please stay tuned for more updates. As a small team of myself and friends that volunteered to help, I ask that you please be patient while waiting for more info. This is very much a "long-haul" passion project that I will be hard @ work on for many months, and likely years ahead.
