Switching Directions for the third time

I have been attempting to get some projects off the ground but have been plagued with software issues and computer issues. So not for lack of trying but depspite working pretty regularly since September on things I am yet to produce any animation of a finished quality. But I have succeed in a few things

1. I have learned how to Rig in ToonBoom and understand the jist of rigging in Flash

2. I have completed two decently functioning rigs in TB that can walk run jump and talk

3. I have stories worked out for a ToonBoom and Flash Project with storyboards

4. Ive gotten slightly familiar with the basics of Adobe Illustrator

But my toonboom license has expired and Flash CS6 doesn't seem to want to function with Sierra so these have to be set aside for now. I need to raise a bit of cash and buy a computer preferably a desktop. I know i can get the cash by the end of March somethings just have to fall into place for that

So for now I will focus on TVP since that seems to work ok on my computer. Which is fine since I prefer frame by frame animation a hell of alot more anyways. The plan for now is to get the structure finalized on a few characters (probably crazy rabbit, the Charming Man, and the new Cody) and create a series of walk cycles with personality to try and get to know TVP. I gotta get back in the groove of animating and walks are great for practice. I need some finished walks anyways.

After that I would like to do a dialogue test with the Charming man, There is a multiple character scene I wanna do with the New Cody so I'll probably be Viz dev-ing that while I do the walks and Charming man.

At that point I hopefully have a computer, a couple finished walks tied down and a short dialogue test with the charming man. Then we can see about Flash Animate and building the rig for the backback boy and Mrs. Sun and here flower daughter.
