    We've got the project on the back burner currently. The trailer was a bit of a wake up call as to exactly how much work it's going to be. The rendering of the 3D graphics alone took a high end workstation over 4 straight days to do.

    There is also the considerable work of collating of all the material. And there are the costs associated with all of the films needed.
    The final product will not be monetizable, due to the limitations of Fair Use Copyright. Therefore we're exploring the options of Patreon or some other form of donation system to try and make the project sustainable.

      Hopefully! As stated in the comment above, it's been put on a backburner because of the huge amount of work that it will take to complete it. Just producing the trailer was a bit of a wake up call.
