Nico Update - Late Janvier, WLCW 2.0

Posted by Nicojian - 10 days ago


Just making a quick update for myself on this NG page, did another art/animation archiving action here so most of the stuff I made in January is up now lol. But I'll be moving to work on We Love Cold War 2.0 as my primary focus now, 2.0 basically just being a series of web shorts that'll hopefully be developed in sure time now that I have more experience, it's also this inherent desire I have to make the work better and "reboot" it since I feel like I've developed significantly in the year since I released the animation and I don't like the idea of just making more of the same thing endlessly, it needs to be better.


But yeah! Naomi and Valerie will come back soon with some extra flairs and facelifts and cooler gun action shit as ever. I have been trying to balance my health and work a bit more so the current GOAL is for a PROMO vid to be released is in early March, and then hopefully a full ANIMATION aka a short with a self-contained story, at least the first of many, to be released in April. Having produced just over 9 minutes of animation in 5 months has really given me some valuable experience but also showed me my limits and the need to work a bit smarter...


But yeah, otherwise, I'm back on my own again since the sponsorships are over, no corporate backing or funding, total freedom which is cool, but also scary. And stressful. No deadlines is kind of a curse to be honest since there's always just something I want to fix or change before release. In anycase, you can follow my work on Patreon or the other socials and I'll figure it out from there, 2025 will be a make-it-or-break-it type situation for We Love Cold War because I don't have infinite time and I've improved alot but I can't spend like a year per animation, two months each for the sponsored animations already feels like a lifetime, so I need to figure things out to make this series work as an independent venture or else it's just not going to happen.


But fingers crossed, see y'all around when I have some more art to post.

Nico
