"Dog" is the current working title for the upcoming first entry in my sci-fi epic (I only use that term to describe the overall size of the work, not the quality. That is for the general public to decide). It will be both in illustrated and 3D animated formats. The visual novel version will come first so it will serve as the basis by which we will develop the 3D version. They will essentially cover the same the story, but the illustrated version will be more stylized, and the 3D version will be more realstic in art style. So far, 5 parts have been conceptualized (DOG being the first), but many more will come afterwards. I don't believe in using a particular character for too long so there will be many main characters over the course of the entire story, each with their own definite closure. As of this moment, we're planning on making all of the music for the animation ourselves, but that is subject to change as time goes by. The underlying platform for the animation will be the Source Engine with our own custom models and environments. I would like to write my own engine for personal achievement, but the most important thing is the story and time. It will take some time to get to that point, but we are planning on having spoken dialogue throughout the entire animation, so there will be a need for competent, emotionally-engaging voice actors. A specific timeline as to when either the visual novel or the animation will be finished isn't possible, but we do have a deadline. The final date that we would like to have the first 5 parts completed (hopefully sooner!) is September 14, 2019. Both the comics and animations will be completely free. The overall theme will be about war, but there will be many other themes such as the negative effects of drugs on society, love and loss, children, romance, and the bond shared by a father and daughter (which I feel doesn't get portrayed enough). If you'd like a more in-depth summary or have any questions about these projects please leave a message on my talk page or email me.
