So. reREDEEMER has been out for two weeks, it has gotten a lot of praise (thank you!), and hell, it might even win this year's Pico Day! Who knows? But i can't just sit back and relax! My ape brain doesn't work like that! So i'd like to answer the question that someone probably wants to know:

What's Next?

Some folks have been suggesting MORE madness remakes! Which to that i say.... no.

Animating nothing but Madness Remakes for a year straight gets tiring, (reREDEEMER started production a week after DANCE PARTY!) I will certainly do one last remake, but that one has to be special since it's one of my favorites, and i want to give that one the best possible treatment it can recieve, so i won't start production until i have done a couple more original projects and have cleared my mind and improved my animation skills.

BUT, an original 3D Madness project is something i'll definetively do one day, i have many ideas on how it should play out but it'll probably be released in a future Madness Day, but not now.

As for what i'm doing right now, here's a little peek! Yes it's a Joel animation, every animator has animated a segment of his streams and/or songs at some point in their lives, don't lie to yourself.

This one will be over a minute long so hopefully i don't take too long making it.

Hopefully.

Hopefully.

It's been a while, hasn't it? 14 months to be exact, but the wait is nearly over.

Set your alarm clocks, mark your calendars and adjust your hourglasses, because MADNESS COMBAT 2: reREDEEMER is coming out MAY 6th!

As of today, all scenes in Madness Combat 2: reRedeemer have been animated. The whole thing is now watchable from start to finish.

I now have to add extra decorations, tweaked lighting, blood, bullet casings flying around, fixed SFX, that good stuff.

See you all in March!

I've been pretty silent regarding the MC2 remake over here. It's time to change that.

GIFs didn't work the last time i tried to add them so have some links!

Image WIPs:

Thanks to a friend, MC2R will make use of Cycles! A renderer which will allow for very fancy and realistic lighting.

Expect the final release to look better than the Sneak Peek!

Yes. The blood n' gore will be added, but the animation is a top priority right now! How can you make the frosting before the cake? That's odd. Don't do that.

For those interested in more personal updates, i've recently re-opened my ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/zayjax

I was thinking of doing Patreon instead, but i don't think i have enough stuff to offer aside from MC2R.

So ko-fi it is! If you like what i do, consider tipping a dollar! Even the smallest amount helps me in some way, or if you want a custom model made specifically for you, then guess what? Commissions are open!

I've given it a complete facelift to appear more professional, so go check them out!

I was barely a fetus when this released but it is worth noting that the 2nd entry in the Madness Combat series is Old with a capital O.

Here's some stuff to celebrate!

(hopefully final) Thumbnail.

Couple of WIP screenshots taken from wacky angles. Zombies not textured yet.

Current progress in it's most visual form.

SFX has been complete since the earliest days of production, just need to rearrange it because the animation is not identical to the original, but that can be easily done in less than an hour.

We're halfway there. The most annoying scenes have been dealt with.

Elevator scene should be fun to do. Hopefully. (P.D. it was actually really fun to do, took me 3 days to animate the whole thing! Wow!)

very cool thank you people of the new ground

Yeah it's been a while since i've shared anything noteworthy regarding the Madness 2 Remake.... So here you go!

The first* scene, almost fully completed! (There is no blood in here but it will get added once the main animation is done, which is not now.)

Go watch it on YouTube, because i don't feel like Newgrounds is an appropiate place for teasers, trailers and that sort of deal.
