Plans for 2022 and January

Hey guys!

After a short rest, I returned with renewed vigor. I hope the holidays have been at least as good for you as they are for me. My “new” studio was completed during the break. A tidy, nice little nook where I can work in peace. I've been planning this for a year. Now is the time. 1-2 cables are still in the way and pictures of the walls are missing. I'll take a picture after that.
There was also machine development. I replaced all my drives (faster and bigger), the power supply, reinstalled the windows. I will also share my setup along with the studio images. I have been using Cycles today and so far no error has occurred. I hope the past… knock-knock-knock
And the girls sent me the VA sounds for the Halloween extended animation. Many thanks to them.
And I started writing on new episodes and completely new stories. So, I have a sketch of LiT8 as well. Will be very good. I also came up with an idea for a Lara game.

Lessons learned from 2021
I set a lot of goals last January. And this year, too, I will write more than I can accomplish. But I don't think that's a problem. What hurts a bit is the fluid simulation and LiT7 production time. I think we can learn a lot from our own mistakes. I had plenty last year too.
What I definitely want this year is a smoother workflow and better transparency. (That was a goal last year as well :D) That’s why I already made a few changes. One such little thing is categorizing WIPs. I want to make an interface where you can easily track the progress of a project in addition to its status. Here you can access WIPs and much more information about that animation.
I also made a few changes that affect my daily life. Like fixed working hours, healthy and regular eating and regular exercise.
It’s all about continuous learning and development. This is well reflected in the episodes of the LiT series.

Plans

Improve productivity
This is the first point and perhaps the most important thing so that you and me to be happy with. I will plan my week and days in advance. But the work environment also matters a lot. A nice studio, a fast and powerful machine. I also brought back my monthly plans. This also helps transparency. I’m trying to let go of an idea or two sooner that I can’t do. This wastes less time.
In addition, I will no longer work on two large animations at once. I still do Gatekeeper and LiT alternately. When GK ends, I will only be working on them one after the other. Of course, this does not affect short “practice” animations. Like the corridor, Halloween, etc.
In the future, I will not be so fragmented with big projects. I'll try to spin them out as soon as possible. That way, I lose less of my motivation about the thing. And I can get into new stories sooner. Because that's a lot of it in my head.

Hello Twitter
Unfortunately, I neglected Twitter a lot, the main reason being Patreon. They also watch my Twitter and I had to delete a lot of content from there as well. It discouraged me.
But I want to be more active there. Show more news, share creative content or share with others.
We reached 50,000 followers. Poor Lara… :D She fucked. She has to hide that giga long toy. You can vote soon on Twitter it in which hole or will be ATWT. There is an option to work all three holes at once… :P

Improve facial animations
This is a high priority this year that will enhance the experience. I work with many cameras nearby. There are two reasons for this. One because I like to show close-up details from fixed cameras. The other is because it requires less work to animate the faces. I want to try face motion capture. And I pre-define a few facial expressions in the new pose directory. I hope you don’t have to make new bones for this. Fortunately, the VA girls have done a fantastic job so far and have been able to convey the characters ’feelings through voice.

Casting
We need new actors and I want to improve Greta as well. What is definitely expected this year: Improved Greta, Trinity soldier, Centaur and new centaur cock, Lara’s doppelganger, Greta’s special futa soldier.
I want to make the Trinity soldiers so that the base model is universal to the male or running version. Adjustable clothing, skin color and sizes. I'm going to cheat here. Their faces won’t be fully worked out, unnecessary. They will be wearing a mask, helmet, scarf and sunglasses or something. Of course, all the characters I made will be available to you.
I would also like to give Lara more outfits.

Website
Yes, it's an old wish. I need a place where you have all the information about me and the projects. That is the goal again this year.

Live and dream
It would have been nice to get to stream last year. Unfortunately, this is still an unfamiliar area for me and since I was constantly slipping last year, so I missed it. I hope I can start this year.

Improvements
Well, they will definitely be this year. Motion capture is very interesting to me. The purchase of such a dress is expected recently. Rokoko's new outfit arrives in January.
Mention of fluid simulation should be mentioned here. Which is something I need to start with now. The quality used so far for Gatekeeper is inadequate. I will try other software as well.
I'd like to try out the new Cycles render engine.
Unreal Engine 5 is still an option for us. I will definitely try it out for a short animation this year.
Many of you have asked me for VR content. It is possible that there will be such a video this year.
What else interests me is the X-ray. This is also sure to debut in 2022.

Production schedule
The production order for the big titles is as follows: Gatekeeper P3 and P4, Lara in Trouble Ep8, GK P5, LiT E9, GK P6 (final part), LIT Ep10-Ep12, Project Zygote, Lara in Trouble Season 2 (approx. 6 episodes)
This is not the 2022 plan, this is years of work. In addition, short animations and loops will arrive. I hope to continue to get help with this.

January plans
Of course, Gatekeeper is a priority, but there will be a few more important things:

• Halloween extended animation release with sound

• Halloween BTS animation from Gifdoozer's loops release (sound unknown)

• Twitter vote for 50,000 (public vote)

• Vote on an alternative version of LiT7 for Leshens (X-ray or futa)

• Halloween loop animations without pajamas release with sound for Leshens

Now I’m thinking of replacing the current hybrid centaur cock in Gatekeeper with a new horse-like one. I made this hybrid so they wouldn’t delete my video. But it didn't work. So why am I “censoring”?

Thank you!
