I have been too busy to spend much time on the site, but have still been cranking in the workshop. Finally have our first fully complete stop motion puppet ready to go. Zard Wizguy will make his debut in front of the camera on Thursday!

@ninevolt that sounds like an excellent phrase to slap on a zard sticker in the future haha

Tornadoes bonked our power but I've got a little bit of battery on my laptop and a hotspot for wifi so I can drop a quick update. We have been working a lot on our fully functional fortune teller machine. I decided I wanted to open source all of the stuff we are building for it so I created the Goblin Speaks Fortune Teller Framework. WIP but check it out: https://gobbolab.github.io/goblin-speaks/

A new video blog today, showing off some progress on the animatronic for our Goblin Speaks fortune teller machine and some pattern making for some stop motion wizard clothes. (Please don't tell Zoltar that we borrowed his voice for audio testing.) Also put a few items up in the store which is finally open. Mostly small things for now until we figure out shipping the more complex models.

Quick new blog today, back to the shop tomorrow! Usually I find it hard to stop working on projects and just relax. Trying to play a video game or something and my brain will just be like "GET BACK IN THE SHOP YA LAZY BUM!" But for some reason my brain has chilled out the last couple weeks, so I took advantage and went outside to touch grass, smell grass, eat grass and just generally become one with grass.

This blog comes in video form! By video I of course mean very hastily edited, roughly shot home video of us fumbling through animating a puppet armature we built.
Been wanting to make this update for a while, but been too busy in the shop to work on the website. I have added a page to share some silly gifs we make using snippets of our stop motion animation. The first gif is a few frames from our very own Zard Wizguy. What started as a project to make a single wizard gif has morphed quite a bit into its own stop motion short film. More info soon!
this gif dungeon will be a library of alexandria in no time
