Update: 11/28/17
Hey everyone, it's Mod F here. You have probably noticed that the date for a November pilot release has come and gone, and we're so sorry we mislead you on that front. Kit (Mod K and the project's founder) has just been swamped with school, and the rest of us have been... apprehensive about continuing the project without his approval. But I have some ideas about the structure, and you're all waiting for an update, so here goes.
Before the pilot comes out, we are planning on releasing a sort of teaser for the first episode, featuring about 3 or 4 scenes from the draft of the first episode's script. This is primarily for feedback purposes - what you like and don't like about the writing, music, voice acting, etc. I'm hoping that if I can get the project back on track while Kit takes his leave of absence, we could see this teaser released around February or March 2018, if not January.
For the new structuring of this blog, I was thinking of releasing bi-weekly updates letting you all know of our progress over the months. Here's one for this week:
Teaser Episode:
Writing: Because we are using scenes from the first draft of the script, the writing is complete.
Voice acting: The voice actors for Jackson and Dania, the only characters appearing in this teaser, have been selected. Dania's VA has recorded her lines. We are still waiting on Jackson's.
Music: The only music featured in this teaser will be the theme song and a special song written from Dania to Jackson. We are still waiting on the instrumentals for both pieces.
Storyboarding: Storyboarding has informally begun.
Animation: Animation has not yet begun.
Editing: Editing of the script has been completed. Editing sound and video files together has not begun.
Translation: Translation of the script has not yet begun.
In the coming weeks, we hope to receive the instrumentals for That's Life, our theme song, and Hey, Jackson, the other featured song. We will also endeavour to obtain Jackson's recorded voice lines.
I, Mod F, apologise for the long period of inactivity. We will try to keep you guys in the loop from now on. If you would like more real-time updates, you can join our Discord chat!
Thank you for your understanding and patience with us!
