sunday update stuff! a return to Destination: The Planet and a likely long-term break from animation...
🕑 Added 2024-09-22 23:32:47 +0000 UTCi think after almost 2 years of struggling and failing to work on or complete any major animated project, it's time for me to call it quits on animation as my main line of work, at least for now.. the more time goes on, the more i've struggled with it and the harder its become to make anything, especially anything i'm happy with. i'll go into it more later with a better explanation as to what and why, probably in some public form, but that's how i'm feeling at the moment.. i apologize for that, i wish it wasn't the case but it's just how things have turned out.
that said, i'll still be very busy with other things to make and show! right now i'm testing out a return to Destination: The Planet, a little game i made and released a little demo for last year. this time, i wanted to try out a new character style and inject a little story with some more character into it! it'll basically be a complete re-vamp of the first demo i released, being a re-make of the first area with all sorts of new stuff to dig into with all sorts of new mechanics and features all-around! thankfully i have the backbone of the original demo to work off of so it's not like i'm starting completely from scratch or anything, stuff like the movement system is likely to stay largely the same.
i feel more optimistic with my video game work as opposed to my usual animation work, i feel its something i've still been able to consistently get a lot done with even during lower periods! it helps that it keeps my entire brain busy while im doing work on it so there's no space for my mind to wander off into unpleasant-ness as is often the case for animation.

I love the little jump sound effect

I came for the animation, but I'm more than happy to stick around to see whatever creative project you want to do. You have a very unique style and I'm excited to see what things you make!

Honestly? I started following your animation cause it really gave me 90s feel good cartoon vibes, especially leaning towards Parappa, and you continued to nail that vibe and aesthetic with Destination: The Planet, with a very PS1/PS2 era gamey vibe. And that's HUGE with people in the indie game scene right now. If that's what you wanna do then go for it. I have a sneaking suspicion you'll get a lot of support for it :)

It’s sad to hear BUT DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, game creation is so fun. As long as you do what you love it’s always the right path.
