First post for 2018!
Firstly I'd like to thank everybody who's been hanging along. Your support is still worth so much, though the values I keep will be the same. So if you're not satisfied on certain months content I'm not policing you to support.
This is still to avoid stress on the patrons and on my side, as you know I'm not making nearly enough to switch to this being my main job....

Here's a quick summary what's been going on!
# Official discord channel is here (Join in and ask and chat with some friendly bunch!)
Join in trough this link! Ask me for your patreon status honorary role!
# GameDev course is over!
Now finished with the school, moving to do what I've wanted to do for a while. More stable streaming...
If you've followed my twitter you know this month is my last one in the school, next week I'm attending PGconnect in helsinki demoing the prototype and pitching the idea of my game.
So finally you can also expect me to get more active in here as well!
Thanks to those who've stickied around still, all your support has been awesome even trough the quieter times now. I've had ups and downs in life and art. But such is life. In general things are looking good now!

I feel bad for not doing patreon posts or vlogs for a while, I just wanted you guys to still know how much I appreciate the bits you can spare to help.
As you might know I'm still going trought the gamedev school, currently working solo with the prototype some of you might have seen. I've been going trough documentation and courses for unreal engine from scratch. The prototype I built from ground up including the controls and camera so all the "logic" and the brains I made from ground up. Whic...

It can include characters themes or ideas and such.
I need to get this stress tested so if you can browse this gallery a bit it'd help out! Dropbox might drop the public folder feature soon enough but I still want to keep your access via browser available if possible since I believe in simple things that work. Even though resilio sync is a simple and functioning software I want to keep http-access as a legacy way of accessing the share.
I know it's harder to monitor the abuse but I don't believe in DRM at least in one that makes your life harde...
2017-03-17 23:44:44 +0000 UTC View PostSince I believe in simple things like returning content for your support not in complicated prize tiers. Just one support and all love-mentality.
I'd like to know why did you start supporting me and what would you like to see more of? Themes, characters and so on.
If not in the poll, specify on the comments section! It would give me the generic idea what you guys and gals enjoy as well!

I'm gonna start by thanking for your continued support and understanding on these tough times. Everything's been more slow than I'd really wanted it to be. But hey I'm still a one "dog" operation for now.
I've done staggered schedules in drawing, streaming and continuing to research more on 3D since it's essential to realize the trailer.
Your continued support has allowed financial ease while I've been unemployed still and I have some results to show as well. Be reminded though as it say...

Also including the talk from the beginning of the quick chat we had in picarto for those who didn't catch the stream. I'll put things in a nutshell into text here so no worries if you can't watch the whole thing.
I'll try to answer probably the most important questions (in my mind) you can also write your question into the comments section I'll get to it asap.
Status of the project?
Not bad though last month I didn't get much done in any fronts, I've felt so...
Noteworthy stuff
-Dogefolio progressing nicely (but slowly), still excited to deliver this to you awesome people!
-Will update dogefolio wips to patreon/dropbox folder as I get stuff done
I totally feel like last months I've only ranted and been tired on my updates on you guys. But I've gotta be honest... I feel like I've been under a train or something. And I know why... september is coming. I've been always sensitive to how much light is available and I usually go...

Not really related to art but... related to your continued support!

TLDR text version below.
As you've noticed things have been more quiet still, I've had my dark patches of life as well. Things are now starting to look better though which is always good.
Next update will most likely be wips of the upcoming dogefolio, I have some illustrations ready for it already. And like I've said for patreon supporters there's no need to purchase or pay for it. It'll be automatically be available for you in the patreon share when it's done.

Hello again everyone! It's nice to see that you've still had faith in the project in these hard months. But if you need a break, like I said you can take one if needed.
Currently I'm recovering from a tooth extraction, you've seen me be at the dentist quite alot. The backstory for that is because accident three of my teeth were filled badly... (I really didn't have time to push a thing for a treatment failure) but I might look into it.
Basicly it means the fillings had air in the...

Hello everyone! Finally feeling better as well I'm still sorry for slow update cycle. If you need to have a break from donating as well. But stay tuned, all the hard work will pay off in the future.
I don't want to spoil you too much (snippet as the header image, and oh boy no it's not from a still image) We've come far huh? But I'm excited to show off this when it gets fully done. Sometimes working on this has been tough as it comes animating is tough... not even including all the t...

Hello everyone! Sadly this mont has been more quiet than I'd really wanted. I have couple interesting pieces under work but life and car repairs have taken most of my time.
Now I'm feeling really under the weather... cold maybe or sinus infection. Had some slight fever earlier. Now I have this tangy sweet smell in my nose. So it might be the sinus thing... salt water nose rinse ahoy.
Going to call the doctor tomorrow just to make sure. I called them earlier but they said it's pro...

Can you guys survive trough the rambling vlog? Who knows?
Anyways putting some of the hilights to text for those who don't want to watch trough unedited footage.
Tiredness/fatigue
I'm having lots of this still, reason for it is unknown, might be stress related. I've also given a diagnosis for depression but hey who doesn't have worries in life?
Doing this project and content for you guys when I'm unemployed really makes me feel better since I can ac...

Lots of rambling in there now since we did it live, no editing. Showing some tech, talking about things.
Next time I'll have a short list of things to talk, less rambling!
(New post since youtube decided to be a pain about the accidental music playing in the background)

EDIT: Had music accidentally playing in the background and youtube content id started shouting at me so, redoing the video later today! Sorry for inconvenience. (Hey at least I can make it shorter)
Since I think it's a patreon creator's responsibility to keep you guys up to date on things you're supporting.
Let's do it in a short sweet and effective way.
- I've been posting you guys more wips even earlier in the sketching cycle
- Hopefully you're noticed the commission queue moving nicely in FA
- Been doing round robin on commissions, trailer and such.
- Ask questions if needed
Funnily enough there was a day I said I'd never do art as my j...

If you have time and you're supporting in here hop in the stream!
Year 2016 is here! Starting by thanking you all again for the continued support!
I've seen the support count drop by two but I know people have reasons of dropping out.
Still remember that you can skip the monthly payments whenever you require to do it since I'm not gonna lie I've been in dark places then and then after the breakup. You shouldn't worry because I'm not planning to give up. I've been working a lot on getting you something cool to show off how much things have progresse...

This month I've been doing lots of travelling etc! So feel free to skip the month's payment if you feel like it!
More updates will start rolling after the new year's!
Happy holidays and a good new years!
Hoping to see you soon!
I can happily report that there's been some good advancements on the trailer once again. (You should be able to tell from the header image itself) Just doing a monthly update to tell we're still on the tracks to completion.
All of you I want to credit in the credits roll if we get that far!
Still super excited to show you some more progress but... let's let it be a good surprise. Of course keep your expectations (hype anyone?) on a realistic level. Since this is my first "proper"...

In a nutshell if you don't want to watch trough
-I'm doing fine but money's tight (But still don't feel like I wouldn't survive without your help. So I will have food and shelter without helping too.)
-Your patreon support helped me fix my car it wouldn't otherwise had been possible. Thank you so much.
-I can't pause patreon so feel free to skip month's payments if it's quiet I still need a bit time to recover from the breakup I had. I'm sorry if it's bothersome for you to do i...

Join in https://picarto.tv/metalfox and follow.
I'll upload the vlog here later on.
Sorry for the late update!
It's still been a bit more quiet on the art side of things for my liking, but I've taken it a bit easier now for a while as some of you suggested. I appreciate your help and caring a lot.
That doesn't mean stuff hasn't been worked on either, header image is from the trailer/test thing. It still requires work but I'd say it's doable now.
Interesting things ahead, thanks for sticking around!
If you have any ...

Trailer is being done again, sharp eyed might have spotten some of the new speed animated frames in the patreon folder.
I moved into doing a bit of my own stuff since I really didn't feel 100% in a way and whenever I do commissions for money I want to put all the quality I can into them.
I'm feeling slightly depressed from my 8 year relationship it's taking a toll on me mentally. I just need some time to re-learn to live alone which is always hard but doable.
- Secure an apartment (check)
- Paperwork mostly done (check)
- Stabilize and secure the income (underway)
But yeah so far things are good, as you've noticed I did drop some new arts on the patreon folder too. If you have problems with btsync or you do need the web address to the share let me know.
Sorry for being a bit slow on the updates now been quite busy, but remember you still have the full right to skip payments if you ever need to.
