WELP! It's finally out in the open. Took a while...but YEP, I AM MAKING A MASCOT HORROR GAME!

I'm MAKING a MASCOT HORROR GAME!!

I go a little in depth in the video, plus it's animated (if you can consider that animation). But there is more info in the description and pinned comment of the video.

I'm really happy to finally get this announcement out, even though I've been saying it over and over on my Twitter account. But to finally announce it to my YouTube audience and now here on Newgrounds, it's really exciting!

Anyways, go give it a watch, read the info if you wanna, and most important of all, share this around because I really really wanna make this into a full game in the future. And that is only possible if the more people are aware of it.

Anyways anyways, I shall get back to working on the game because development is going so smoothly right now. I hope to bring you guys a gameplay trailer sometime soon. But don't expect TOO soon.

Hi. To start off this blog, if you don't know what TWWK (The World We Knew) is, it's an indie animation project of mine. You can watch the first episode here: TWWK Newgrounds or TWWK YouTube.

With that out of the way, it has been 3 years since the first episode's release. And in that time, I have been working on Episode 2, in one way or another. Not even working on it for weeks sometimes. I even have a scrapped episode 2 animated slightly. But why has it been as long as it has?

Now a reason people usually would have is because it's a long episode or so much work is being put into it. But in all honesty, that's not entirely the case at all. Long story short, I hate this episode. Narrative wise...

The narrative feels very repetitive when listening to it over and over and rereading the script over and over. To give you a premise of how it is without spoiling too much, it's literally just the two focus characters talking to each other FOR THE ENTIRE EPISODE!! And with that knowledge, you may start to understand why it gets repetitive.

There is NO flow. It doesn't even feel like the plot is expanding all that much other than the first and last scenes. And I think that ruins this episode for me and that causes me to be very slow with the animation. Mind you, this episode is about the same length, maybe even shorter, than the first episode. So I can't give the excuse that this episode is longer than the first when in reality: it's not.

And I think the biggest struggle of this episode's production is, I can't go back. I would rewrite the script if I weren't already halfway done with it lol

That would just be a bunch of progress thrown in the trash. And I simply can't do that. Not right now, not this project. But I definitely think that this episode's lack of plot really makes me more excited to work on Episode 3 because there's more I can try that wasn't attempted in this episode.

All in all, episode 2 is gonna be wack. And I'm trying to force myself to actually work on the damn thing to get it out. Because ain't no way in hell I'm taking another 3 years working on this particular episode again! Sooo this episode will take some time to finish. Maybe it will be good, idk. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is a mildly disliked episode either.

Anyways, if you have made it this far, thank you for reading. And for understanding (I hope). You probably don't even know the show and just decided to read this anyways. But do please consider watching the first episode from either of the links from above.

Hi. Do you know fnaf? Five nights at freddy's? Freddy Fazbear? Did your mom drop you as a kid?

Well if the answer is yes to all of those, then if you're interested at all, why not go check out my recently released fnaf fangame, Five Nights at Daisy's! Now this isn't my first time making FNAD, no no no good sir/madam/theyem. This has been a game developed for years, then saw cancellation, then been developed for a month. Anyways, I'll shut up now so you can go play the game for yourself:

Hey all! I know I haven't post one of these in a while but I'm just here to quickly plug my YouTube channel which has more content on (duh). Just been having an existential crisis recently and wanted to promote it as much as I could because.. even though it's not much, it's still something special to me. I'll even leave a list of videos you should probably check out if you're skeptical. As always, thank you for your support!

Going back to Scratch

Animations

I must say, as of yesterday, I've been in an art mood, which further pushes me to animate. I've gotten some work done on several animations so far, and I can't wait for you guys to see them! In addition, there's a reanimated Untitled cartoon, Ney Adventure, and a secret one that I haven't announced yet, so be sure to be on the lookout for those.

Some WIPS:

A Secret Project

Other than animations, I've also been working on something with a partner for a few weeks now. I can't get into detail, and I don't want to get my hopes too high, but it will be a game. I'm only willing to share one wip for the project. Anywho, that's what I've been up to. If you want to keep up to date on updates, be sure to follow me here since I'll be posting that kind of stuff here when things get done! I love you all, and keep on sinning~

So I'm just thinking about projects I potentially wanna make into a game one day. I have several ideas and I just really wanna get into it. And though I'm learning to program myself I just look at other programmers and I'm like, "How do??" Which is funny when I think about it now.

And I'm even thinking of hiring someone as a programmer but part of me feels like I won't be able to learn from it. Because usually, I don't. I need to learn myself and actually do something. But I just like to think of having a team of awesome people to work with as we code a game together. Oh well, that's all I wanted to say today. Nothing special. Maybe.

This dude shit himself...

So yeah, I moved to Newgrounds because maybe it's cool. I'll have to see. But to be honest, I got here and I have no idea where I am. But I'm gonna conquer it once everyone goes to sleep! :D
