Getting the audience shouldn't be a goal
Yeah, though it does suck to put effort into something, especially something as time consuming as animating, and not have a lot of people see it. And yet I continue to make stuff, because I just enjoy doing it and I know if I keep at it, one day more people WILL be watching.
I am always hating myself though for not trying to be more disciplined and consistent with doing this stuff while I was in school, 'cause back then I could just do it because I wanted to and I wouldn't have to worry about trying to make a profession out of it, and I still shouldn't have to worry about that, but there's a whole lot of other things involved that do make me worry about it and well, now is no the time or place to discuss that, I think. idk.
weirdly enough. If people show up and subscribe, that's great!
I'm always surprised when someone subscribes to me. I've been getting like 1 new subscriber a day for a while now, and my views have been going up again now that I've been releasing stuff.
that let's play I did of evolved
Hmm I will have to watch this. After all, what kind of terrible person would I be if I were advertising my own stuff and not watching stuff the community makes? I mean, I don't usually have time, but I've been trying to make time on checking out a lot of the stuff you guys do. At least I've been more active here recently ;3
I didn't even upload the last episode of the series.
Fuck that reminds me, I still haven't uploaded the next page of Pollywogs, which I finished in like August of last year. I'll upload it eventually, as well as continuing that comic, 'cause that's a story I really wanna tell. Still not 100% sure how I should go about telling it though, 'cause I really wanna see it animated but a comic would take less time.
the best thing is to just keep having fun.
Yep, this is exactly the reason why I stopped making the Mach Adventures supercuts. I just wasn't having fun making them, 'cause i had already seen that footage so many times and it was just so hard to edit 'cause of how bad it was. The first couple that I managed to edit turned out pretty well though I think.
I for one am really excited to see where Mach goes, as well as everyone's solo stuff.
As am I. In a bit of a surprise, me and Alex have gotten to dip our toes into the actual world for film recently. Only as writers though, and for student films that Kyle is making, but it's still something, and still scripts that I'm proud of. So hey, we're getting somewhere at least.
Hell, we should all do some content together one of these days. We've got enough of us who are willing to play stuff, as well as plenty of streamers and creative people. No reason why we can't!
This is something I've been wanting to do for so so long. I've just wanted to do some sort of collaborative thing with a bunch of the members of this community, and just work together on some big project. Never knew what we could do though, probably because I was never really active. We've tried with letting people help with ambitious machinima's in the past, and that didn't really turn out well, but I'm sure with simpler projects it could work.
I know the community is into Guns of Icarus right now, and I've been wanting to play. Seems like it's always happening at inconvenient times though. I'm sure we'll all get to play and kill each other some day though.
One thing that came to mind when thinking about this, and I'm not sure if this is something I'm allowed to talk about but I will anyways because fuck it, we were planning on doing some sort of big "in character" Starbound series after that fully releases, similar in style to the Yogscast original Minecraft series, ya know, where Me and Alex have an idea of what's going on but we really don't know what's going to happen. I think it'd be cool to get some community members to help out with that, by playing npcs and stuff and whatever else would be needed.
We also might be putting together a light-RP server for ARK, and it'd be cool if some community members wanted to be a part of that.
I feel like my posts are getting longer and longer.
