This was technically finished in 2025.
This is a project that... took much longer than expected to finish. What doesn't help was that there were long gaps of me making progress every now and then.
Probably the key thing missing making this was that I should have done a complete script of some kind (which is why this animation ultimately lasts three minutes), and make storyboards throughout the animation. It was only in the "fake pause" part where I started to do a little bit of storyboards (back in September of 2025).
In the latest art piece I made, I said there I wanted to finish it before the end of the year, but that time has passed now in NG's site--even though I live in a PST time zone. I guess uploading it in the first day of the year is better than nothing.
Pardon me for some mistakes (like certain noises) that you might notice in this animation.
I may have a clearer list of each specific sound/music track I used in this at a later time.
Hopefully whatever I make next doesn't take as much time as this did, and probably in a smaller scale too.
And have a happy new year.
