Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Greetings from past the middle of October! I wrote a post not long ago, so not much has changed—it’s still the same old story... it’s getting colder and darker by the day; there’s less and less sunshine, and it’s already dark by 6:00 PM. Well, that’s only natural for this time of year—I’d recommend taking plenty of vitamins! I’m still cycling, and I refuse to let the weather get the better of me—you just have to dress warmly. You’ve got to keep your enthusiasm up and never give in! I’m still looking ahead toward a bright future. Wishing you all the best, too!

Main thing:

Let’s get straight to the point. Let’s get to what everyone—or at least the people on my team—has been waiting for! :) So, here it is: the premiere of 'Reduce 3 - Episode 2'—arriving today! Quite a surprise compared to the last episode, right? :P You didn’t have to wait too long this time—less than 4 months—which I think is pretty quick. I know it would be even better if it were faster, especially since we have some cool "skins" (new interface designs) ready for November, December, January, and February. As for when Episode 3 will be released... well, we’ll see! As you know, this installment of 'Reduce 3 - Episode 2' comes with a "Happy Halloween" theme. The animation itself (excluding the intro, epilogue, and end credits) runs for 110.5 seconds—not bad at all, I’d say. This episode might not be as mind-blowing as the previous one, but it’s still pretty cool. Cheers!

Extra thing:

Hey! That’s not the end of the surprises! Here’s another poster—this time for my belated birthday! On October 6th, I turned 40! Well... I’ve had a lot of crazy situations and problems this year, but things have turned out okay in the end—even if the year has left me feeling quite worn out. Oh well, that’s life! 40 years old already—time flies! The most important thing is to take good care of yourself so you can live forever :P Hehe, or at least try to live a long life—long enough to achieve all your goals, especially the ones that take a bit more time... So, a huge thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes! As you might have noticed, everything—including my profile—is decked out in a "Happy Halloween" style! It’s a unique month, and like any other, it deserves to be celebrated in a special way.

I think the poster turned out great, so please comment and rate it here:

@Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Mazurek, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n? My crew, you can now see it in the project preview - Reduce 3 - Episode II (mp4)

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Greetings from late September! The weather is getting cooler—at best, it’s hovering around 15–18 degrees. It’s getting cold now. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't—you never know. A month has passed since the last post—not too long, and things have been fairly bearable. As usual, I’m still riding my bike in the mornings and evenings. Well... I broke up with my girlfriend; it turned out she didn't really care about me. I did everything I could for her, while she only made an effort when it was convenient for her. It turned out she was a spiteful, selfish person... oh well, it is what it is. As my mom says: I have no luck with women. Anyway, never mind that. I wish you happiness and good luck in life!

Main thing:

Now, let's move on to the next topic. Here is another character reveal poster, featuring the "seventh" hero (a newcomer making his debut): Mr. Mate! @ChordC, this is likely your favorite poster (among the recent ones). He is one of my favorite characters, too. Let's start with his appearance: Mr. Mate. He is certainly dressed quite differently from the others—mainly because this is his "work" outfit, and no one dared to take it from him. He sports a unique and stylish mohawk—one of a kind! He wears incredibly durable, epic armor—a hybrid made of modern materials and featuring stylish embellishments, including a skull on the front and an "Easter Egg" on the back that you’ll have to figure out for yourselves. Beyond its looks, the armor offers excellent mobility without restricting movement. Additionally, the character is equipped with a handy storage pouch on one hip for small items, such as a lighter. The other hip holds his weapon of choice: two deadly butterfly knives that have witnessed more death than the Great Flood—fitting, given that Mr. Mate is a former assassin who spent a long time working for that corporation. He boasts a 100% success rate on missions, approaching each one with calm professionalism—moving like a ghost. His special abilities (aside from superb combat skills and reflexes) include "Quiet Movement"—allowing him to move silently at will, often creating the illusion of vanishing and reappearing unexpectedly—and "Perfect Killer," enabling him to hunt down and catch his prey like a true predator.

Animation thing:

It’s time to show off some animation progress—specifically on 'Reduce 3 - Episode II'. All in all, this episode is 90% "complete"—at least in theory, since I’ve reached the final moment of this scene, which requires a significant amount of work; I still have to draw and animate something (I’ll make an exception and avoid spoilers here, though anyone determined enough could probably find them). So, it’s hard to say exactly how much longer it will take, but I can say that EP2 currently runs for 87.5 seconds (which is twice as long as the previous update). I think that’s pretty cool—not every scene will be the same length; some will be shorter, while others will be significantly longer. @MariogD will obviously start saying that the end is just around the corner :P He thinks that every time, because he’s not the one who has to deal with the various problems and challenges... Hmm, but speaking of which, I’m waiting for a review of the animation's current progress from you guys (my team)! I can't wait!

I think the poster turned out great, so please comment and rate it here:

@Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Mazurek, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n? My crew, you can now see it in the project preview - Reduce 3 - Episode II (mp4) and Reduce 3 - Part I (swf)!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Greetings from the end of August! The weather is unpredictable - it is no longer hot, but rather randomly rainy. Morning drizzle and lower temperatures in the morning are now normal. It's been a month since the last poster - I guess that's not too long and you didn't have to wait too long this time. I still ride a bike - I try to ride in the morning and in the evening, but due to the weather it varies... Recently, my girlfriend doesn't have time for me because she is dealing with important matters. That's why I have more time for myself - I can focus more on my project, but more on that in the next paragraph. I wish everyone good health!

Main thing:

And now let's get to the main topic, but first of all I would like to ask the entire crew to accept to be added to the project - 'Reduce 3 - Episode II' (@Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Mazurek, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n). Let's move on to the new poster - it shows the "sixth" hero in a new version - Hero #6 - Bill! Let's see what we have here - Bill is equipped with light mixed armor - leaves, grasses and a grasshopper. Thanks to the use of a grasshopper, it is slightly more durable than classic clothes. Just like the character - MariogD, we also have a bow and arrows, but unlike the others, Bill is a bit vain - he loves to dress up and stand out from others. At the same time, he pretends that he doesn't care about anything - so you can say that he is a specific hero... Additionally, Bill has a weakness - he loves smoking cigars - due to the circumstances, they are makeshift cigars. Fortunately, he is still young and this addiction has not yet destroyed his health. When it comes to character, he is grumpy - he often does not want to do what he is asked to do - he often does not hide this fact and you can see from his face that he would like to do something else - preferably warm himself by the fire and smoke a cigar.

Animation thing:

This paragraph exists because MariogD is a pain in my ass xD Hehe, just kidding! :P But seriously - it is important for my brother that I inform everyone about the progress of work on the project - in this case 'Reduce 3 - Episode II'. So let's summarize the progress - currently this episode is about 1/3 completed and lasts - 39.2 seconds. I think that's pretty good progress. I don't know how much time I'll have next month, but this episode is definitely going faster. Well, the ending itself will certainly be very difficult - I have to draw and animate a new creature.

I think the poster turned out great, so please comment and rate it here:

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Greetings from the beginning of August! The weather is fantastic – it's warm, sometimes hot, but bearable. Sometimes there are storms and rain, but that's how it is here. It's been two months since the last poster – yes, I know it's a long time... but that's because I've dedicated myself to my life – lots of cycling (morning and evening), diet (giving up many things), my wonderful new girlfriend (she's just like me and just as devoted and affectionate as I am). We spent a lot of time getting to know each other. Life goes on, but I see it in rosy colors :) Happy and long life to all of you!

Main thing:

Okay, enough sugarcoating and enjoying life :P Let's move on to the new poster – it features the "fifth" hero in a new style – Hero #5 – Delsin! Let's see what we have here – Delsin is equipped with very light and delicate armor made of leaves and grass. It resembles clothing rather than armor. However, this is no accident – ​​Delsin not change armor, he focuse on weapon – which turned out to be a good decision – because, as we all know, the best defense is offense. He is equipped with a Spear Launcher – arguably the most powerful weapon. It fires deadly spears with tremendous force – this weapon is advanced and has a complex spring mechanism – hard to explain – it's Mazurek's design. The weapon itself has one drawback – it takes a long time to reload (it takes a few precious seconds), but every weapon has its drawbacks. Delsin himself is calm and patient, so this weapon suits him perfectly - in a critical moment of danger he will not lose his cool.

Animation thing:

We've just finished the premiere of Episode 1 – Reduce 3. We didn't win any awards, but that doesn't matter. The rating is currently 3.66 – which is quite good. The most important thing is that we managed to finish it and release it. As for current work – I've finished working on the Arena for Episode 2 (and, as you know, others in the future). I'm currently working on optimization, which is quite important. That's all for now, thanks and best regards!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Mid-June greetings! It's been a mixed bag lately – one moment it's supposedly warm and sunny, and then suddenly it's cooler and cloudy – you might get caught in an unexpected downpour. It's been 3 weeks since the last post, so it's not so bad. As for me, a lot has changed since the last time... Generally, I'm on a strict diet now (healthy small meals regularly) and eliminating unhealthy (fatty) foods, as well as giving up sugar, salt, and coffee. I know it's so sudden and a lot, but it's not entirely something I had any control over :P Hehe lol... Well, apparently that's how life is, things just happen and you have no control over them... if you want to continue living xD I won't reveal my illnesses to the whole world :P But I wish you good health!

Main thing:

Okay, enough of this nonsense :) Let's get to the specifics everyone's been waiting for – or at least I think so :P Well, I'm announcing to you <fanfare> that the premiere – 'Reduce 3 - Episode 1' – is next week! I know it's sudden and you've been waiting a long time... especially due to the delay caused by my illness, but it's just around the corner – June 23, 2026! – next Tuesday! We're all excited about this event, especially our fans! And speaking of the animation itself (without the beginning, epilogue, and end credits) – 378.1 seconds. That's over 6 minutes :) I think it's pretty good for a single episode. The whole thing will be appropriately "seasoned" with a proper (modern) interface! Cheers!

@Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Mazurek, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n? My crew, you can now see it in the project preview - Reduce 3 - Episode I (mp4)! Uh... I mean, not yet but - I haven't updated it yet, but I'll let you know...

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Almost-end-of-May greetings! It's been generally warm lately, so I can't complain, but... actually, I can :P Well, it's been a long time - a month (or more) since the last poster - that's because something unexpected and unpleasant happened to me on May 14th :/ From that day on, I started feeling weak and tired - "for no reason." However, as it turns out, that's when I caught 'Covid'... And on Monday evening (May 18th), the symptoms started. That day, the worst started - heat, headache, flushed face, etc. I admit, I didn't expect I'd ever get infected again... It's currently May 25th, I don't feel as weak as I did at the beginning, but I'm still tired - especially this feeling of heat and flushing :/ Damn it! I already miss the times before the infection - it was so free and relaxing - without any heavy feelings :P I don't know for what sins something like this happened to me - I haven't been meeting people much lately, and I only rode my bike around Krakow's Błonia... Well, it's day 9 since the symptoms appeared - I hope that at least it will last me until the 14th day (from the onset of symptoms) and that it will pass, because apart from the fact that it's very tiring, it's still starting to cause some irritation :/ Take care and I hope you don't get 'Covid'...

Main thing:

Okay – enough talk about so-called suffering :P So let's move on to the new poster – it presents the "fourth" hero with a new style – Hero #4 – Diablo! Well, let's see what we have here – Diablo is equipped with durable armor made of wood, a grasshopper, and pebbles – which act as studs – you can cut yourself pretty badly on them. And speaking of pain (I think that's the main theme of this news xD), he has special brass knuckles on his hands, which are movable – they can be positioned directly in front – for boxing with piercing damage. And speaking of movable elements – his mask can be raised and lowered (I ran out of space on the poster :P). Additionally, Diablo likes to use all kinds of spears – stick, wooden, and a stick-and-sharpened stone combination. Finally, I'll add that Diablo is very secretive and quiet (he never says anything), but at the same time he's always willing to put himself in danger and help others - like another similar character... whose name started with 'J'.

Animation thing:

I'd also like to say something about the animation progress - @MariogD has been complaining a lot lately that I haven't written anything about it lately :P Well... as you know, I haven't been feeling great since the middle of this month, and my productivity has dropped to about 40-45%, so you could say I've been making some progress - albeit slower, which is a shame because we were planning to release Episode 1 in this month. But now I'm sure it's impossible this month... hmm, I'll share some news with you - the current fragment - 1.3 - is 56.7 seconds long! This is the moment - Diablo and Delsin. Thanks for being here! Best regards!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

Almost-end-of-April greetings! It was warm, then a bit cold... and then warm again. It's like a lottery – a crazy weather gamble :O But with time, the weather will get better and a bit warmer – warmer and warmer! Good, yes, it will be good! It's becoming more and more pleasant to ride a bike. All for my health, of course, but lately also for relaxation and inner peace. Because lately, I've been stressing out too much... Mom's surgery, a project, the situation in the world, work... I need to learn to not give a damn again (like I used to – two years ago) and not worry about things I can't control. I'm not doing too badly because as I write this, I feel much better and I'm focusing on what I can – work, cycling, and the project. I feel relaxed and indifferent – ​​whatever happens, I'll work on what matters to me! Adam hasn't had time lately, but I don't worry about it – if there's no time, there's no time, and that's it. Lately, I've been falling asleep after returning from a bike ride, but oh well—if you need a rest, you need one. Cheers and much rest to you!

Main thing:

And now for the content about Poster - I present to you the "third" hero with a new style - Hero #3 - Candy! As last time... hmm, I don't know if this character has any equipment :P You can definitely see that he has clothing (not armor, really) made of natural ingredients - he loves animals and wouldn't hurt them, but is he really? :O Thanks for being here! Best regards!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

End-of-March greetings! Spring has arrived and it's been quite nice and warm, although it's gotten a bit cold lately – you have to be careful not to get too carried away by this apparent warming up. You can easily get sick – colds and flus, so be careful – so I wish you good health! Well, lately I haven't been feeling depressed and lonely – I know how to organize my time, etc. Working on the project – 'Reduce 3', cycling and going to the gym (with Adam), work. However, lately I've been feeling a lack of inspiration – although it doesn't detract from my creativity, I feel underappreciated… well, of course, this is related to practically zero popularity, and when you create something great, there's a certain sadness associated with it, the fact that it requires a huge amount of time – especially since it's no longer some lame project, but a true giant. Oh well… everyone does their own thing, and that's it. Hmm, I still haven't figured out how to add movies to Netflix :P

Main thing:

But now, let's quickly move on to what I wanted to show you today! I present to you the "second" hero with a new style – Hero #2 – Mejson! As last time, we have a new character equipment drawn and described here (though there's not much of it...) – Mejson (me). This new heavy armor is designed to absorb most damage and is definitely not intended for archers or scouts, as it certainly restricts movement and slows you down. Thanks for being here! Best regards!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

March greetings... It's warmer, but well, it's not easy. I'm currently alone and I have to get used to this situation, but as I said... it's not easy... especially since it's been two years since I was alone. Well, that's how it is... It's a bit sad and nostalgic, also lonely, but that's how it is. However, it has its advantages - I now have much more time for the project and to focus on the gym and cycling (for cardio) - I'll try to ride before and after work. How have things changed for you? How are you holding up? I hope everything is going well for you.

Main thing:

After this sad, yet necessary, introduction, I'll move on to the project... Posters are my therapy, because I don't have money for therapists :/ It's true... Besides, it's a very addictive service. Ugh... anyway, who cares about Old-Timer's sorrows :P I present to you - the "first" hero with a new style - Hero #1 - MariogD v1! We have here an interestingly drawn and described new character equipment - MariogD. New armor, but certainly not the last! Cheers!

Welcome everyone!

First thing:

February greetings! It's still cold sometimes, and you can't stay outside for too long. But oh well, that's how it is... Greetings to each and every one of you! It was depressing... but now it's more or less okay, so it's not bad. How about you? How are you feeling? How are you holding up? It's already February... who would have thought time would fly by so quickly... but oh well. Well, I won't write too much this time - everything is slowly moving forward. All the best to you!

Main thing:

Without much further ado, I'll get to the point. I'd like to show you the finished (primitive) base – or rather, the black and white fragments of it, which probably don't reveal much :P Hehe, oh well... I admit it took me quite a while, but I'm pleased with the results – I think that's the most important thing. I think you'd be happy with the results too! I think it certainly maintains a high level of (new) detail and perfection! I think this is the first time I've written so briefly in Poster... but it's okay - I don't have the inspiration to write more... or maybe there's just nothing to write about? :P Cheers!

I think the poster turned out great, so please comment and rate it here:

In the next poster, I will (start) present... an overview of the characters - what has changed and what new things they have :P Maybe you could call it - character sheets :P Hehe... It's definitely something new :) I will definitely try and I have an idea to present it in an interesting way :) See you in the next Poster!
