Working on Cereborg: Inception

Greetings, minions of evil!  I am taking a moment away from my projects to give you an idea of what I am doing.  I have been working on Cereborg: Inception.  To help give you an idea of the vast process something like Slugs and Bugs takes, just like this one, I first have to create a rough draft.  I have done that, it took several days.

Next, I have to do the design.  Therefore, for example, for the Cereborg title screen, I literally spent over an hour making the animated gif, and then it took another hour for me to decide on the right blue for the text on the front screen.  I then wrote a bit about each of the main 'playable' characters, and carefully chose precise color text for each one.  In other words, in a week, I spent almost 20 hours and I have finished 5 pages.  Well, not finished...

The next thing that I will do, starting this every eve, is finding pictures I can use for manipulations.  This can mean so much.  I will spend days now, weeks, scouring the internet to find models that have enough consistent photo shoots that I can use to make the scenes from scratch, like I did with Justine Joli.  Then a month or so from now after I spend eight hours a day, every day, looking for shots, I will have to spend months making the manips.

Then I will spend weeks writing the scenes and story, and finally, I will spend another couple of weeks recording my sound effects and trying to pick music that works.

So, there you have it!  I am hoping to release this Cereborg story within a year from now.  Remember, if you happen to be rich, and want to see more of my work come at much faster rates, then please Patreon me!  In addition, if you cannot spare money, fret not, this work will be free to all!  It's just that I work 45 - 50 hours a week, and then work on this every night.

Oh, I just realized, I should probably post a link to the preview I made of another project I am working on...
