Enlisting help.

There have been some noteworthy developments recently which might be  interesting to you, so strap in.

3 days ago, I posted an announcement on the Discord server, reaching out to animators and offering to commission some of the currently required animations for the tree stump, as well as a variety of other planned projects to them.
To my great joy, I got multiple responses from interested parties, two of which are especially noteworthy.

The First and most surprising one was Kalmah. He´s the Author of a large expansion pack for submissive Lola and is an universal-talent when it comes to skyrim modding. From 3d assets over animations to scripting, hes easily on par with me, if not even better. Some of his animations are already part of my mods.

He agreed to help me with the current humping/chopping animations for the tree stump, and we already made plans for another new and very unique device after that.

The second Noteworthy contender was "Echo W", an animator from china who
already has published multiple high quality combat anims. Looking at the Demos on his youtube channel, there is no doubt that hes talented.

He pretty much sent me A set of images, (the first of which you can see above). And said: "Hey, Have you any plans for something like this? I really want to see this and will happily animate it." ( he worded it more politely, of course).
Faced with an offer like this, I couldn't really say no. So I´m currently designing a spawnable device/platform for this which he can use as a reference for his animation.

Aside from these two bigger names, there were multiple other folks who voiced interest in offerring assistance and had a basic Idea on animating, but these will likely require a bit more handholding before they can come up with something that can be worked into the game. We will se what comes of this eventually.


So, whats currently planned timeline?
ASSUMING the the external parties deliver as claimed, we will see the finished tree stump somewhere next week. The New Impalement platform I would estimate in a month, and another new Mystery device by march.

Right now, while waiting for Kalmahs animations, I will concentrate on ironing out the last hiccup with the spit-roast (high poly heads still cause issues here), and prepare it for public release.


Finally, let me apologize for the recent lack of new content. I know that this must have been frustrating especially to those on the higher pledge tiers, and I hope the currently planned collabs will result in a significant step up and allow me to make it up to you.

As always, thanks for your support and patience, see you next week :)
