Hi all, thought I'd do an experimental "episode" of some kind. Lots to improve (any voice actors/sound guys here?) and excited to see where to go from here.

Shameful Error: Missing subtitle for Pathfinder at 2:03 "...for Viktory. And all that."
A bit of an exposition heavy episode. Too much to listen to and not enough to see. Will keep a better balance for future episodes.
Rendering is still a pain. Quicker render times means noisier and grainier image quality while better quality means very long render times.

Also thank you kindly Maarten Bonder and Havoc of the Ren-X team to allow me to use their music for this episode!
One of the more complicated episodes to design. However, less dialogue does make it relatively easier.
The episode was originally longer but the scope of the "first act" turned out to be more daunting than I anticipated.

Sorry for the delay folks! What do you think?
Many thanks go out to all my patrons, the voice actors, the crew who have helped me technically and the fine people at Discord for all the laughs!
This episode was conceptualized as a Halloween episode (so late) due to a Patron's suggestion. Didn't really know what to do for the underground sequence but it eventually evolved into what you see here. Hope it is as fun to watch as it was to animate to these talented VAs!

What happened to Episode 07? Well essentially, I don't think my skills are ready for the story I want to tell for EP07 yet. EP08 is supposed to be the easier of the two. Apologies in advance and I hope the 'plot' isn't affected by this odd chronological order! This was a challenging episode to make and I hope everyone enjoys the hard work everyone involved has put into it!
