[Beat Banger: ENCORE] Ch. 2 (1.0)

Thanks a lot! Yeah, they’re slow. Their work is really good, but they probably only work 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and use more traditional animation for new scenes, which takes time. There are 2–3 animators, so I’m still surprised it takes that long. Music is faster, and the illustrator manages their time well. Animations take the most time. I work 8–15 hours a day. Dawna’s content took me 2.5 months. The next content will take 1–2 months since it’s only 8 animations. I mix Traditional and Puppet to save time, like most people do nowadays. Chapter 3 will feature Gale as futa and 3 new characters I created. I’ll practice character design and reuse them for my Visual Novel, which might get a prologue this year if I can find time between the Beat Banger mod and my short animated

Yes, one day, but not for now. For the moment, it remains Patreon-exclusive, and the free release of Chapter 2 won’t happen anytime soon according to the roadmap on my Itch.io page In short: Chapter 2 will be released for free on Itch.io after Chapter 4 Part 6. We’re currently at Chapter 3 Part 1, which should take less time since there are only 8 animations per chapter I aim to release new content every 1–2 months and finish the mod by mid-2027. Chapter 2 will likely be released around then, though I may share one or two animations along the way so people have something to see The video version of Chapter 2 will be on my Patreon this week, but the free release will take a long time, sorry...

Yes and no. To be clear, what’s missing is just one animation and the post-story. I’ll take care of finishing that this week and release an update for Chapters 1 and 2 to fix everything. I mainly wanted to keep my promise to release it. I worked a lot last week, but it wasn’t enough to finish everything in time. However, it will be done this week.

There won’t be a longer version for Chapter 2. However, the next chapters won’t have this issue anymore, as I’m going to switch to 8 shot for music tracks that will be around 2 minutes long, meaning about 15 seconds per shot. For Chapter 1, there will be two versions: one with Claire and one with Zoe, allowing for longer animations focused solely on them. This will be included in the update I’m releasing this week!

Yes, there will definitely be a video version for those who don’t have the game or just want to watch, but since it’s not complete, some small details, including the story post, are missing, it will be released later this week with the 2.0 update of chapters 1 and 2, so you’ll need to wait until then

I’m really glad you’re enjoying it! Regarding the voice, it’s Dawna’s original voice. I’ll make sure to add her name to the credits in the Post-Story with the update coming later this week (12-18 Jan)
