🕑 Added 2020-08-25 22:32:26 +0000 UTCAm here, friends. It have be very difficult month. You here not for "life story" of Dreamer, and I do not like to excuse make, so will short explainings:
- Thursday, I have funeral visit go.
- I now REQUIRE wearings of glasses so can see, and is difficult become the normal with.
- The unrest of politic in East Europe is cause internet connect difficult
- I have problem with parent relationship with that is some difficult cause
- Mal0 x Puro animate was have many error that cause problem of expensive rendering retry require :/
These all is problem that am doing fix now, and is the enough fix that keep workings can, but also is maybe make thing some slow. for the more understand, I explain to translate friend, and he is write an explain for you more understand...
--------------------------------------------------
Dreamer's translation friend here.
TL;DR: Dreamer will be aiming to release an animation every 2 months instead of every 1 month from now on, though you should still see frequent WIPs and drawings/paintings.
For the last 2 years, DreamerTooth has consistantly put out at least one animation every month. Compared to other animators that have release schedules as high as half a year, this pace is incredible and something that Dreamer is very proud of.
However, it has had negetive side effects. Unfortunately, due to spending so long sat down and staring intently at a screen (and also being unable to sleep due to stressing about getting work done), Dreamer has developed a series of issues that - due to her dedication she at first refused to believe - have had a negetive affect on her health and lifestyle, including eye problems, eating problems, a heart murmer and general irritability around her coworkers and other real-life figures. Whilst these are all recoverable circumstances now, this can only be done if we address the root of the problem as soon as possible.
Dreamer enjoys making animations for you, but she also enjoys being able to go out into a workshop to tinker and fix things, or into the open air and hike, and giving up or slowing down on any one of those things isn't something that's easy to do.
Stopping yourself from doing something you enjoy is DIFFICULT, but for the sake of their health, this is something that must be done. Therefore, dreamer has decided to cut their production schedule down, reducing the animation schedule to once per two months, which should free up roughly half of her schedule for more relaxing (and, yes, away-from-computer) activities. It also means more reliable uploading over periods of holiday or disruption (such as the current issues with internet access in Eastern Europe as a result of the unrest in Belarus). Finally, it means that renders can be ran for longer, meaning increased cycle times and in theory higher resolutions (subject to funding remaining constant)
Most importantly, it maintains the health and the safety of someone who's brought us all a lot of high-quality stuff, and who continues to improve with each upload.
This shouldn't change the teirs too much: you'll still get to see animations at least one month early, and $10 patrons will see their name on any animation that they've been pledged for in the two months prior, same as normal. But regardless of that, we did think it was important to let you know that the regular 1 month upload schedule will be eased off for the time being, for the sake of everyone involved.
Dreamer told me to give you all the biggest expression of gratitude that I could muster, but honestly I don't know any english words which properly describe how thankful they are for your patience and support, not just in these "troubled times", but also during the calmer periods. You've all genuinely made a massive change for the better in how secure and comfortable she feels, and I would also like to thank each of you in how much you've done for one person.
Cheers

Take as much time as you like; your health is far more important than your work. I'd still trust you to deliver regardless of how long you take.

I think i speak for most to say we are just happy you are ok! Please do focus on your heath dreamer, make sure you are in a good spot health wise first before all else. The schedule cut back is a great idea and i hope it helps you find a good balance to do both things without having to make much sacrifice. Take care Dreamer!
