Two.. months.. left..
Well, it's officially crunch time. I developed a somewhat casual pace of progress alongside recreation, work, and sleep, but with less than two months remaining, it's time to light the last few boilers and push this engine full steam ahead. I truly don't have too much of this animation remaining, but the big epic finale has me somewhat nervous. Music is pretty much all taken care of, and I'm happy to say that DotM: Overtime's soundtrack will be a mix of both original music created for the animation, and music from right here on NG! I wish I wasn't a dumb 12 year old and had some sense not to use copyrighted music back then for the previous episodes.. hnnnggg.
I don't really have too much else to say. Work has been strange as our business hours have changed drastically due to a Covid scare with some of the other staff, so my sleep cycle is now almost completely unhinged. I've gotten sick twice since January, but otherwise, I've been doing fine. With DotM: OT, I feel it's added a sense of discipline to some aspects of my life. For example, I haven't drank any alcohol in over four months. There were a few times in the past where I danced around the textbook definition of an alcoholic- out of enjoyment, habit, and the worst coping method for depression ever. At this point, I just kinda figured I didn't have time to be drinking, didn't have time for the hangovers, and something about the idea of drinking and working on something so huge and important to me just doesn't sit right.
I'm also taking a break from video games and the rare instances of social interaction I do sometimes have. Basically, I'm holding my breath on a lot of things until this big bad boy is pushed through and polished.
OVERTRY
Ah shit, no way
