Stickpage Competition - Discovery Gone Wrong
Hello. This is my first try at a competition entry and hopefully first long animation in quite some time. I'm going rather experimental with this, trying alot of new things.
Hopefully it all holds together in the end ^^; . Keep expectations low, that way it will look better XD . Thanks for stopping by.

-Update Log-
Jan 4 > Jan 7 / Brainstorming ideas
Jan 8 > Jan 11 / Continuing refining ideas. Make some tests to better understand requirments for idea
Jan 12 / Finalizing story. Start entry proper. Make first backgrounds
Jan 14 / More backgrounds made plus assets. Audio collected
Jan 16 / Created the wip thread. Added screenshot
Jan 21 / Mostly doing background work. Also did one of the harder animated sequences.
Jan 24 / Still doing background work. Losing pace a bit
Jan 27 / Screenshot added. Working on various parts of the animation
Jan 30 / Re-evaluating plot. Likely going to reorganize it and add/remove scenes from the plan. Finished a few scenes from the intro
Feb 5 / More limited, scattered progress. Still working on plot points
Feb 9 / Progress starting to speed up again but feeling very behind with alot more still to do. Intro part mostly done. Music done. Need more direction on the main animations construction
Feb 13 / Stalled again. Screenshot added
Feb 17 / Redid a scene. Other minor progress
Feb 20 / Plot adjustments mostly finished up
Feb 22 / Mostly completed one of the chase scenes. New screenshot (first creature tease)
Feb 28 / Scattered progress. Finding it hard to construct new scenes and what they should be of
Mar 5 / Filling in the gaps between scenes. Regretting going for pro instead of beginner
Mar 9 / Managed some more of the tricky parts but still very behind. Commence panic
Mar 11 / Assembled the various parts together. Mainly doing inbetween scenes, plus finishing up details in otherwise finished scenes.
Mar 12 / Another scene finished. Animation is about 120 seconds long atm
Mar 14 / Having issues working out and creating the last few scenes. Getting some annoying glitches too
Mar 15 / Few more scenes completed. Fixed some of the glitchy errors. Nice seeing it all coming together
Mar 16 / Last 3 (difficult) scenes. Then adding audio. :Update: Animation finished. Most audio added. Just needs fine tuning
Mar 17 / Animation finished 100% ^u^
