AHD Tribute - Future Retro - Early Access

Goes live on Saturday

Patreon Update - 3/20/2025

Greetings!

We know it's been a while since we've made an official Patreon update, and we do apologize for that. We've felt that we haven't had anything too major to write about. However, March and I have been sharing screenshots and videos of little things we've been working on, such as MIDAS development and models on our Discord server. If you haven't already joined it, I'd highly recomm...

General Update - 8/3/2024

Hello,

Next Animation

We are currently working on our next animation, currently named "Rails". The main concept behind this animation are individual instrument notes and/or instrument "triggers" fixed to vertical rails where the instrument "players" and/or instruments are traveling on separate vertical rails. Hence the current working title of "Rails".

"Full Circle" - Drum Camera - Early Access

We meant to get this out sooner, but some annoying rendering issues delayed us. We'll put this out publicly on Wednesday.

Quick Update

Hello all, we are sorry for the lack of updates recently. We took an extended break due to burnout, personal issues, etc... Zach is back to work on modelling Mushroom Crisis, and I am working on MIDAS V3 while he's modelling. We just wanted to give a quick update that we're back at it, and we'll probably have some stuff to show in the next few weeks.

May 5th, 2024 Update

Hello, just want to give a brief update on what we're up to:

Full Circle

We did not anticipate Full Circle blowing up in the way that it did; we quadrupled our subscriber count, gained 60,000 views, and finally became eligible to join the YouTube Partner Program. We also gained a significant amount of new patrons (welcome, by the way). Thank you all for pledging your support!

Full Circle - Render Development Stills - Early Access

Full Circle - Early Access

We'll be releasing the video publicly on Saturday

Patreon Update

Hello, we want to give a small update:

Zach is currently on vacation and will be back soon. When he's back in a few days, we plan to begin rendering Full Circle. We only have a couple things left to adjust.

Our plans after that are to start a new animation project from scratch and focus solely on that rather than a combination of things at the same time. We want to see how quickly w...

Full Circle Progress Update #3

We've been working on polishing the fine details of Full Circle for the last month. A lot of the hard work is out of the way; most instruments have gone through a final check to make sure everything works and looks correct. The only exceptions are the vibes and the guitar, which still need work done. The guitar has barely anything done on it; it's been a very hard instrument to get right, and w...

Early Access - Pipe Dream Single Shot

We'll put this up publicly on Saturday.

Hook/Full Circle Progress Update #2

The music composition for the animation, now named "Full Circle," has finished, and camera work has begun. The music is now entering the mixing process but won't be complete until cameras are finalized for animated panning and volume. We've done some cosmetic redesigns to a few instruments as well as completely rework certain aspects of others, primarily in the interest of making the instrument...

Hook Progress Update

For the last few months, we've been on and off working on an original project (currently named "Hook", subject to change). Most of the visual work is done (modelling, lighting, shading, etc...), and the music is almost done, so for the most part, we're just in animation mode right now.

Most of t...
