Its that time again! hope you all are doing okay. Berserk 3 is aswell. Atm Im pushing the production to be finished before the next madness day. IM NOT SAYING it will be published before madness day. because I want to do a little trailer for some teasinngggggg first. as there is good stuff to show! First of all. Some of you propably know I got engaged,so this might have a slight effect on the production. But well.... Before that my life mainly circulated around Black Berserk. but now, I have a reason to occasionally take breaks to go on small vacations,which really imrpove my mental health which sometimes does gets a bit pushed around by feeling....Almost imprisoned by my own project. It does feel restraining.... knowing I could do tons of commissions faster and gain so much more money. Livestreaming every saturday, seeing only 1-10 people watching. But I still want to publish it. I'd say we are well above 50% done with production of berserk 3 you'll see a great improvement in Voice Acting, Ill say that in confidence,And Im doing my best to not make the talking scenes so Jarring. Trying to breath alot more character into these Madness puppets. Trying to not make the Dialougues so straight to the point and instead more realistic and belivabe.

IMPORTANT ANNOUCUMENT!

SmartMonkey did a great job on one scene,however,he cannot continue further. so I am inviting anyone who wants to help out in animating one fight scene by clicking on the link to my discord server on newgrounds linked socials and text me directly, I am offering chance to help participate in a big project in a fun enviroment, and MONEYYYY reward. (Don't be insecure if you're unsure about your skill. we can make it work!)

In few days Imma sneak in my kofi a few teases so If you want,become a member to see these early! The new episode so far has many scenes around fighting,soooo action hungry people will eat well!

That will be it for today. stay safe and stay healthy friends!

Its been more than a year since the last time I posted a news post on my newgrounds. To all the people who think that I was slacking off, you couldn't be more wrong.

many of you wonder when Berserk 3 will be released,and I want to finally tell you my first assumed time,I will definitelly do what I can,to post it before madness day 2024.

I dont want it to take longer than that. We got great progress so far, there is lots of eye candies to see in the next episode. What we hate in black berserk team, is repetivity. that is why we take great care in innovating my animating tricks. I took a break for about 7 months from berserk as I suspected that it might've actually had impact on my physical health. not gonna lie, I think I was pushing my body to the limits with episode 2. that is why I took a break. with Episode 3 I also need to pay attention to incredibly long line of commissions that people are waiting for. But Berserk is moving on steadily. It takes time,and it that is unfortunate, but its the way it is with animations. keep in mind I do almost all the graphical and animation work on it. now I have an occasional help from friend shadowcop who ocassioanlly masks things and draws certain weapon angles which is always a good help. Of course what update would that be if I wouldn't show some sneak peeks to give you a hint on what is curently happening.

Here is a certain character recycled from Cancelled Fall Of Helios Collab. Loved that character,so I got an approval from DREADMAN to use him here. 

If you ever want to see how is the Berserk progress looking so far, you can always check my youtube channel in saturday at 17:00 Polish Time,as I stream there everytime at that time. 

There you can always ask me any questions you'd like to ask, and enjoy spending some time watching the progress.

I wanted to add a P.S. that the development is of course moving on steadily,but I really wanted to say something important. Due to the dissapointments I faced with episode 1 and 2 viewership,I need to say that I learned something, Numbers....dont matter. Because I prefer to have a small community made of people I can call devoted friends that I can talk with,rather than an army of people that just slightly care about my works. But... I need to ask you guys a favor.... Despite that...I still need episode 3 to reach out to as much people as possible.... I cannot do this on my own anymore... I was not even meant to do ep 3 on my own... Development of ep 3 went absolutely not the way I wanted it to.... I need help from other people that would like to have fun working together and share Ideas in form of animation help. So once ep 3 releases... It will be our job together as a team,to make sure to post it and show it to as many people that could like it as possible. Even if it doesnt work... Ill do what I can to keep berserk going maybe in a form of diffrient type of animation,or comic or something else,cuz like I told shadow, I am not planning on giving up on berserk,oh nonono there is nothing to discuss. but if it works.... It may be an absolute game changer that can put the project high up. So please... Remember our team will make berserk... But it will be up to people to make sure,that berserk will be treated right. I belive in you friends. as always, stay safe.

Thanks to the support of my Kofi supporters,The money has been finally gathered,to start working on ep 3, I don't recall If I already told this or not,but no Black Berserk this year,because this year we had to gather the money to pay the animators for their job. each episode,I want to be the best as it can get,and each year its harder and harder to make every episode better and better.And let me tell you animating ep 2 all by my own,was a torture,pain,and regular headaches from the computer screen that I will never forget.That's why I wanted the help with the next one.Despite the fact that a large number of madness community is nephobic from what I managed to see from krinkels stream chat.Which causes a large number of people in the community to don't like my series,but however,there are people who love it from what I saw and people who support it,and some people who publicly review it extremly good. I thank these people,my supporters,my friends alot. Without it I would propably gave up,but thanks to you I still stand I will do my best to make black berserk better and better,today basically marks the first day of works on ep 3 and Idk when it will be released.Propably not madness day since I don't like to compete honestly,and I prefer the release date to be able to give the movie chance to stand on its own.Ill gibb some news from time to time during the development.stay safe and thank you all for being intrested.Love you guys.

I really wanted to thank for the wishes and presents for the birthday! Actually I didn't expected to get that much tbh,thanks TheSimple,Rockluki,Kyu and OmegaSN for presents:

You might wanna check it out,maybe something will interest you?? ;)

buckle up guys,in a matter of days/weeks,a "Voice Actors Needed for black berserk ep.2" will drop. So stay tuned. There will be plenty of new roles to grab!

Just wanted to say that berserk hit beyond 36 thousand views,awesome,and you guys were very positive in the comments,Im proud of it,but the real berserk main storyline will be beggining in episode 2, I hope that this series will inspire animators to make alot more voiceacted animations,I already saw that a few new animations with voiceacting came out after berserk's pilot was released,Im glad that it happened,Ill do my best along with the team to make sure that berserk's quality of Voiceacting,animation and graphical style will improve and improve. Thank you for support guys,Episode 2 already in production since 2 months.

I think I might start making free madness Characters sprites and backgrounds commisions for people,because I recently noticed that most of the stuff that im making is mostly for me (without including many ocs as gifts I made for some people,and stuff that people didn't used anywhere),so I might start some in the future,not yet because i have quite few things to handle,so once ill get through them and buy myself some time,I might start doing them

I love madness combat alot,it is a community where i started getting my animating skills,however...when im looking at various youtube animations from other communities...i feel like im not that experienced,I want to explore the art of animating alot more.

i won't learn anything more by animating just sprite animations,that's why ill animate some not madness related stuff in the future,don't worry im not leaving madness,im still gonna animate it,but i wanna put some other type of animations on my channel to learn new and new things,explore 2D and maybe 3D animating,here's a little sneak peek from hazbin hotel fan short that im animating,and stay tuned for black berserk madness animation,it will be released this madness day! And i hope you'll like it,i hope that madness:black berserk series will become something big for my channel.

So the animation that i was making is finished,just sounds,thumbnail and music needs to be added,im planning to do a trailer for it because it will be better to release it on madness day,its gonna be hard for me to just wait for it so im gonna do a trailer for it.Here's a small screenshot from it

Hope you like it and you'll be sadisfied once it comes out,its a little more than 20 minutes long,and it only took 6 months to make,including gathering team,making all the sprites and backgrounds,That's crazy! hope,you're doing good guys! see ya!
