Hey everyone!
I wish I had good news to report this week, but I don't. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the VO from 2 out of 3 of my VA's. Without this VO, I can't complete lipsync and facial expressions. This is the primary reason why I really don't like to give ETA's for projects this complex. Anything can happen to delay the project. From waiting for voice-over commissions... to renders crashing... and to physics not behaving well, they all threaten to delay the project.
I know you guys have waited way too long for this project, so I'll at least give Huggers and Alpha Huggers something to eat until the scene finally hits Early Access. Shortly after this Weekly Update, I will post the "Rough Cut" or "VA Cut" of the scene. This is the cut that voice actresses use as a reference for their performances. It is the full 9 min 13 sec scene without audio, facial expressions, lighting overhauls, or completed physics. It also has moments of clipping that have already been addressed and fixed in the current version. If you're interested in watching this rough cut after everything mentioned, then you must be a Hugger or Alpha Hugger tier supporter.
As for another ETA for the project. Until I get the VO from the remaining commissions, I cannot confidently provide another estimated window for Early Access. Huggers and Alpha Huggers will have access to how completed the project looks. Just a heads up, the rough cut is subtitled. If you're worried about spoilers, definitely avoid watching the rough cut.
