March Update

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well 💖

First, an update on Arc 10. Last month, I finalized the script and reached out to all of the voice actors. Almost all of them have the script and are working on recording, I'm just waiting to hear back from one of them. If you didn't see yesterday, I opened voice auditions for a few small parts which you can get more info on and apply for here! I also started designing character outfits on my streams. I'm almost done with those, which I plan to finish in the next few days. After that, it's on to backgrounds, and there are a lot 😭 My goal is to finish them all by the end of this month so I can hopefully start production in April.

Arc 10 has a total of 15 parts, plus a detailed credit sequence (so I'm really counting it as 16 parts). A good amount of these parts are on the lengthy side, so I don't know how long this arc is going to take me to make. At least I don't have to animate hair blowing in the wind this time 😅

I'm planning on launching the next Office AU merch collection sometime this month 👀 Everything has been designed, I'm just waiting on a couple of manus to get back to me. More info on the launch and Patreon-only perks will be revealed soon!

I mentioned this on one of my streams, but I'm planning on publicly live streaming my entire process of the first part of Arc 10 once I start production on it. The final animated part will still be released here first. I think sharing my process will be helpful to those who are interested in seeing it, plus it'll give an idea of how long it actually takes to make these episodes.

A few other updates: Next weekend I'll be away visiting family, which means this week I need to focus on getting work done for one of my clients since their deadline is next Tuesday. After that, I can focus on the Office AU again. We're also finishing up the house renovations (yay!) and we're going to start painting today. The house is my priority right now since I really need to get back into my office (working in the bedroom and living room has not been ideal). Hopefully if nothing delays us more, the timing should work out perfectly with the start of production on Arc 10, and then I'll be able to really focus on it 🤞

Whew, this was long. If you've read this far, thank you! I still can't believe I'm at the beginning of the end of the Office AU. Thank you for supporting me through this journey and I can't wait for you to see what I have planned! 💖
