I can't believe it, but the project is finally finished! The format is completely different to what it initially was (basically a visual novel type thing) so it's definitely not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but thought I would share in case anyone is curious how it turned out. Not sure if the rating is correct but there's swearing and some blood etc. in the video so just playing it safe lol.

There's drama, ghosts and weird magical shenanigans! It's partially voice acted too :)

Here's a couple screenshots as a preview:

EDIT: Thank you so much! I've got enough answers now so the form has been closed ^^

Heyo!

This may be a long shot, but I'm currently writing my thesis and looking for some participants in a little study related to animations and visual novels. Basically, I made two versions of the same story: an animatic (rough version of an animation) and a short visual novel. You would watch the animatic and play the VN (online version available), then answer a few questions about the experience. The VN can include brief descriptions of violence depending on the ending(s) you get, thus the T rating on this post.

Here's a link to the google forms survey if this sounds interesting!

Thank you and have a nice day! :)

Testing if the gif works lol

Wowee, thank you so much for the support! I'm very glad people seem to enjoy what's out so far of DIMENSION4L, and I'm sure the rest of the team appreciate it too. :")

DIMENSION4L - Episode 1 Teaser

Hey heyy!

It's been a while, huh? I haven't made horribly much progress on DIMENSION4L, but I thought I'd still share some updates:

1. I finished writing first drafts of the scripts (yes, all the scripts!) and am now in the process of getting feedback and making adjustments. After this I'll start making thumbnails.

2. I decided to sort of start from the beginning. Episode 2 is almost finished and most of it I will keep as is, but EP1 I will redo completely because it doesn't reflect the characters or the plot accurately anymore. This also brings us to...

3. The animation itself! I've been playing around with a kind of cut-out animation (not puppets per se as they don't have rigs, but anyway) that will hopefully help me animate faster. I won't make any promises just in case, but I'll keep experimenting to see if I can figure out a method that suits this kind of project best. Most likely I'll use frame-by-frame for more complex shots and the puppets for simple animations like characters just conversing.

To end this post, here's some very early thumbnails I started making because I just couldn't wait; these are still subject to change if I edit the script.

Hey, y'all!

Part 2 of DIMENSION4L received an overwhelming amount of support, thank you so much! I appreciate and read through all the reviews and honestly didn't even know how to respond to all of them. If any of you are interested in seeing my progress with some behind the scenes content, I have a discord server for the series where I post stuff somewhat frequently.

Also, have a little background for good measure.
