"So...it's already one month in. As I said in this post, I started another full-time job since last month. I'm working from home currently and that saves me a few more hours I'd waste on the traffic otherwise, but I don't expect this to last more than a month or two from now. With the extra time I have, I'm using it to finish as many flavor visualizer as I can. There are 6 more to go. To be honest, I don't come up with ideas for some of them yet. On the other side, the ideas for new menus are piling up."

Current Flavor Arts
Here are the new flavor arts we have finished so far. We will submit them to the Art Portal once all 10 are done.
Piano Flavored
Majesty Flavored
Air Flavored
Velocity Flavored
Space Flavored
Upcoming Menus
With some of these linked with an example, our to-do list for the upcoming menus is...
- A trance menu whose preview was uploaded somewhere in some Discord server
- A remix of a track from Phoenotopia / Phoenotopia: Awakening
- A remix of a track from Magical Tetris Challenge (a GBC game)
- An extension of a piano short
- A rearranged piano menu
- 9 remaining remasters
Other Stuff
We also have a change of plan related to the visualizer template: Migration (from After Effects / Blender hybrid to 100% Blender). We are only currently researching the possibility using the latest Majesty flavor visualizer, which was made in Blender. Our biggest concern for this matter is finding an intuitive approach for text masking. It is heavily used in the visualizer overlay, plus dynamic text content. Anyway, we are going to set this task aside until we finish both the current visualizer and Noisysundae HQ (website). The demo reel for commission work presentation is waiting in line as well.

I also had a work from home contract job for a bit, definitely led to more free time after hours which was immensely helpful for creativity. :P
Cool to see you and the team taking further steps towards 3D visualizers as the menu adds more items, and it's always nice to know that new sundaes are on the way.
Keep it up and stay safe!
Noisysundae
"Yes, it does. Also, perhaps it's due to the culture of my place, but not having to act like a well-mannered busybody all the time, ironically, keeps my productivity at its peak on both the company job and this one.
For 3D stuff, I have actually been going at Blender for a few years now, and most of the shortcuts are already in my muscle memory. The whole staff thing is just me talking to myself, though."
