The people need me Cosima. Listen the last couple months have been pretty rough as I've sort of slipped into a depressive episode, and my job feels like it's taken over my life, but we're finally out of that tunnel and I'm ready to start on projects again, hooray. So what is this update about? Well, as you can see by the redesigned Cosima, we're restarting production. Luckily this won't set us back too much and if I can keep energy as high as it's been it shouldn't delay the episode from release. Why am I doing this? The script is in a state I am unhappy with and I think the characters don't look good in the photorealistic space. I also wanted to take some time to really just re-explore the characters design-wise. For Cosima, that meant re-adjusting her hair a little, and smoothing out her color palette to not have the contrast that sort of broke the design, instead of drawing attention where I wanted. I've also simplified the design somewhat. I want to take more time to explore the characters, I want the story to be more serious and I want to approach the characters. Hopefully the script will be done by next friday, and I'll start on actual production of the show. The resulting episode will probably be longer than the original script, mostly because I feel like the story I want to tell takes just a slight bit more time to really establish the lore, the liminality, and more. There will be an actual trailer hopefully by Mid-June. Also, I will be re-opening Voice Auditions for Mallworld! ! ! !
