Animation + Programming Update

Posted by CrabbWalker - September 12th, 2015


Hey Guys!

So, it's been about a month without any updates to the art portal or my news feed, since my new schedule puts me at around 12-14 hours of work a day. 3.5 hours for programming, 6-7 hours for work, then I'm putting in 1- 3.5 hours a day into animation during the week. On the weekends, I'm catching up on my animation, working 3-5 hours (or at least try XD) on Saturday and Sunday, plus any updates I might have. Thought I'd share what I'm working on so far...

Right now, I'm learning how to access and set up projects through the terminal (command prompt) with Github, and the programming languages Ruby and Python. Their module for how Ruby works is a bit complicated, but nothing too fancy. Currently building a responsive website from scratch from what I'm learning in class. With gaining more knowledge on different languages, I hope to integrate this into structuring a better animation site for my web series.

In regards to my animation, I'm still going strong! Due to the pointers, praises, and criticisms I've read in the comments from Episode 1, I took a slight nose dive into altering my script. NOW, I think it feels solid in terms of progression, plot, and motives. I've also took the initiative and wrote the ending for my series as well (DUN DUN DUNN) In regards to originality, I just tried to keep calm and...let ideas just flow to my head lol. The amount of animation I have planned for this is quite huge, and even more challenging than what I've expected. I'm currently working on some challenging scenes that has stifled my progress, but that's good for me because that means I'm learning. I'm afraid the darn thing might take me a year to do...but I'd rather have quality over quantity ;) On a side note, my background work has improved dramatically, and the atmosphere I'm developing for Nami will be unique. I'm excited for what may come in the future! I'll keep everyone updated. See ya, Newgrounders, and don't forget to share my first episode with everyone, and if you want, support my patreon, even if it's just a dollar.

That background as absolutely beautiful!!! Since I first saw your stuff I said that was your strong point, but my fucking god, that is genuinely breathtaking to look at. I'm sure what you'll finally finish up with will be awesome, keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! I will keep you posted through Newgrounds, Twitter, and the blog on my Nami website :D

I agree with @1bnKalbatin awesome job with the background work. And I'm also looking forward to your next episode.

Thanks, likewise with Jungle Hunt 3. Avid fan here :D
