Hey guys!

Im officially back to working on Reincarnation: The Root of All Evil with Chris! I worked on it about 2 years ago as a minor role, back then I did storyboards and rough animations for the Opening Cutscene, as well as the rough animation for Cerberus. 

Now Im the Lead Cutscene animator, so Ill be storyboarding cutscenes, doing the rough AND final animations for ALL cutscenes in the game. Im excited to be working on this again as I needed more variety in my life! Also, for those who didnt know, TROAE has officially been Greenlit on Steam!

Its nice because this is an adventure game as opposed to a slot machine (which is what I do at my current full time job as an Online Game Artist for a major slot machine company), so I can do the old "My Goal and My Fear" thing we used to do at Lightside.

My Goal for this game is that "I want people to feel as excited they got to a cutscene in this game as I did when I would get to cutscenes in PS1 games", the happiness and excitement when like Xenogears would cut to one of its anime cutscenes, or FFVII's bigger moments, they always felt special to me because they were cutscenes done outside of the game engine. I hope to capture that excitement here.

My fear I would have to say is probably just the usual deadline fears. Honestly I cant think of anything that could go horribly wrong with this. With Lightside it was easy to say "I hope people don't write us off as just another boring religious game", but in this case we aren't doing anything that has a negative stigma attached to it, so I suppose I'm really just hoping I hit my deadlines with flying colors (a loose fear, Dave Bruno always makes his damn deadlines lol).

All in all, glad to be back to working on something else besides Scaredy Dave or Slot Machines haha, this will be a fun change of pace. Scaredy Dave's game isnt dead, its just on hold until I finish this. In the meantime, check out this Run Cycle I made for the Scaredy Dave game... Its literally all Ive done so far! (well, besides the documentation for how the first half of the game will work)

I also drew myself as a demon...

Catch ya guys later!
