Info
Hey everyone,
I wanted to clear up some confusion regarding my recent animator situation.
Unfortunately, the animator I had been working with had to step away due to health issues. If things improve, he might return in the future, but for now, nothing is certain.
Since I’ve received several messages asking whether this animator with health problems is Atemsiel (who has done animations for me before), I want to clarify: No, it’s not Atemsiel. He created the Noel animation in Chapter 9. The animator currently on break—the one with whom I had planned a longer collaboration—was responsible for the Cia and Amy animation in Chapter 10.
As for Atemsiel, the updates in his Discord server summarize everything well. For those who aren’t in his server: Atem is "MIA" for me too, that's all i can say.
The Search for a New Animator
With my animator stepping away, I started looking for a replacement but ran into several challenges. Most skilled animators were either fully booked or already committed to other projects. When I did find available artists, the timelines didn’t match my development cycle, or their prices were way beyond what I can afford with my current Patreon income.
That said, I’ve found a short-term solution for now.
I’ve found an animator! Well… more like I’ve found one again. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anyone new yet. But after whining so much in Discord DMs to one of my old animators, he finally took pity on me and agreed to do my animation. (Although, let’s be honest, it was probably less about pity and more about the much bigger sum I offered him this time.)
So, to make it official—Gary, the dev of Realm Invader who made the Clara x MC scene in Chapter 10, will also be creating an animation for Chapter 11. While I know he has his own game to work on and this is just a temporary solution, but thanks to Gary's help i have at least more time to find a new animator
