SM64 Monthly Report: June 2024

Another month, another Monthly Report!
Info on this month's stories:
1. Saturn Studio Updates
Saturn Studio versions 1.4 and 1.4.1 were released this month. The animator-focused version of sm64rise's Saturn project forked by Saturn developer Domincentek now includes the ability to spawn NPCs and certain objects as character models, the ability to heavily edit the savefile, and a new World Simulation, which allows machinimists to playback in-level action for any amount of frames they choose. (By default, all in-level action is now paused.) World Simulation can be accessed through the Options menu under the Machinima tab.
Also included in this update is a fix to a bug which saw the game crash when warping from the Chroma Key Stage level to certain non-course stages (such as the Castle Grounds and the Castle Courtyard).

Machinima Motivation
It was a fairly impressive month for machinima quality, driving motivation up 30 Points. Despite it being common for a high increase in motivation to be the result of a machinima trend, there was none this time around.
Machinima Milestones
Congrats to all the machinima milestone achievers of June 2024! As always, sorry to anyone I may have missed.
Machinima of the Month
Machinima of the Month June 2024 goes to Shyrx's World Traveler 64: Episode 6 ~ The Concealed Keyhole. This machinima delivers crucial series components of action, worldbuilding, and a bit of mystery in an aesthetically satisfying way. Watch it here: • World Traveler 64: Epi...

This month's interview guest was SNG1, machinimist, resource author of a widely used animation pack, and shorts editor for SMG4. SNG1 talks about his machinima process and an ongoing project, and gives some bright and inspiring words in more than one answer.
