Succubus animation, there is no release estimate for Final yet

Hey,

I've noticed some people claiming there's a release coming in August. I'm not sure where these people have gotten this info, but it is false. The final release for the Succubus animation is still months away. I won't give an estimate on the Final release, until I'm reasonably certain, that I can deliver in that time frame, nor have I done so at any point during this project. This is due to the heavily missed estimates during Dimini Part 2

What is estimated for end of August, are the playblasts (WIP previews) for Ending 2 & 3. Ending 1 playblast was released a bit over a week ago. So story wise the clip is almost finished, but there's still a lot of work to be done before final release.

Things left to do, and rough estimates for steps:
  • Endings 2 & 3 (Roughly 1 Playblast's worth of work) (Estimate August/Early September) Done
  • Lipsync (Estimate Early/Mid October)
  • Some missing secondary animations (tits, tail and other things that mostly just "follow" along) (Estimate Early/Mid October)
  • Some animation polishing, possibly some re-timing of some shots (Estimate Early/Mid October)
  • Some minor animation polishing left
  • Simulations (At least hair, possibly some liquids, will need to experiment if I can get considerably better results with it, compared to what I can do manually) (Probably roughly a month's work? Depends on the quality I'm aiming for)
  • Master's Clothes for the intro parts (This and the remaining steps will likely take anywhere from 1-2 months, and while unlikely 3 isn't impossible either. Again depends on how much work I want to put quality wise)
  • Lighting
  • Material Tuning 
  • Rendering (Around 1-2 months for this and the remaining steps)
  • Post processing
  • Some potential final audio tweaking 

So, while I'm nearing the ending stretch of the project, a lot of those remaining things can take a lot of time to do. I'm fairly confident the animation will come out during the 1st quarter of 2023, but as always, I won't make any guarantees, until I'm close enough to release, that I'm essentially certain there wont' be any bigger delays at least.

Xvideos Channel

Hey!

I'm just posting to inform people, that I have a verified channel on xvideos, that I'll be using for distributing my free content in the future, as a replacement for pornhub:

https://www.xvideos.com/channels/eskozgts

I've uploaded a few of the more relatively recent videos there already. I likely won't re-upload any of the older content though, as a lot of that can already be found uploaded by other users, and it's available through here either way.

If you're curious about the current status of the upcoming video, see this post, that gets updated every time I release a playblast to subscribers/patrons:

Basically, there's still a few minutes left to animate in total + lipsync and polishing. Then there's simulations for clothes/hair/liquid/particle effects and so on, where needed. Followed of course by lighting, rendering and post work, and probably some final touches to Audio, although most of the latter is already done.

I'm relatively optimistic, that it'll be out some time around Summer, but I can't make promises, since there's really no way to tell what will happen in the future, be it unforeseen issues with the work itself, illness, or the current unstable situation in the world, especially since I live in a country neighboring the main cause of said issues.

That's all for now! Hopefully it won't bee too long until the final release of the succubus animation! I certainly would like to move on to something new at this point!
