I wish you the BEST amount of luck on this project. I understand that your busy with school, work, etc, but I hope that you manage your time well and hope you will be able to get through this. If you need to take a break, take a break you deserve it with whatever free time you have available. As for Kick-starter, I REALLY wish that went smoothly. I was surprised that not a lot of people donated because you are an AMAZING animator. But whatever you do I'll be glad to support you.

Sometimes it can be tough working on projects. You feel as if you'll never get it done and regret that you never released it but at the same time feel that if you rush you will never be satisfied with the result. It can be hard but you just got to keep working and ignore those thoughts.

Doing my best. I think the more experience you have as an animator, the more you know what you're in for in terms of the time it takes, which makes it that much harder to get the ball rolling.
