That's a behind the scenes picture of the last released screenshot for TEWP4!
For the past few days, I've been animating TEWP4's third scene, which is one of the longest scenes in it. I'm very happy to say that the animation work on the third scene is now complete. The fourth episode is now two minutes and twenty seconds, which already makes it longer then the first part. But it doesn't stop there. There are thirteen scenes in all, and the final script is six and a half pages, which means that's about as long as the final short will be in minutes. That makes me about a third of the way done, which is great. If you didn't know already, I've been composing music and adding sound effects as I go, instead of waiting until all the animation is done. The reason for this is that it lets me tweak it as much as possible during production.
How close will this short be to the previous shorts? There's a theme, and the old episodes didn't have one. I also moved the title of the episode until after the theme instead of before. I no longer stick a LockedOn watermark on it. However, there will still be a credits sequence and an after credits sequence, so make sure to wait until the credits have stopped rolling. Coming up soon in my scene roster is the sneak peek that plays at the end of the credits of Part 3. I'll be recreating the old scene, which is going to be really fun.

Did you know I have a bandcamp page? No? Well, you may have spotted it among the site links on my YouTube channel page, but in case you didn't here it is!
It's full of stuff that you can't hear anywhere else, like two extended The Evolving World theme songs, and other exclusive content like a Pageturner album and the soundtrack to the revised versions of TEW Parts 1, 2 and 3. On top of all that, each song has a separate song artwork!
In case you haven't been keeping up on my Scratch page, Pageturner is now being split into four games, each with one mystery each. That makes it a little easier on me, and it moves the release date up for you!
