So yeah, glad some users of Animate are still able to use the software. I may be one of the many haters of Adobe but I can understand the frustration of learning a new software.

But holy shit, has this been a wild couple of days-

LRP from last two posts: So, this is utterly hilarious that so much blacklash caused Adobe to back-peddle from that dunder-headed decision of trying to kill off Animate.

I may only use an older version of Flash (CS4) for certain situations but I know some peers have Adobe Animate.

Sometimes bullying does indeed work.

Adobe Animate is safe…for now at least.

INSANELY funny turn of events.

Me @ myself talking about myself: "THAT WAS HER MISTAKE"

Not all hope is lost tho, I can share some of my smaller animations there in the meantime. Here's hoping the file size requirement increases on of these days.

So, I heard SketchTube is live and I was excited to make my account there and get around to uploading The Mage of Silence

.....Only to realize that the first episode alone is 237 MB and the videos must be under 5MB.... Oops. 0u0;;;;

LRP: Sharing that specific post after hearing about the latest news in regards to Adobe Animate. (I have the installation file of Adobe Flash CS4 on my external hard drive for the longest while.)

But yeah, fuck Adobe; All my homies hate Adobe.

well, fine then, it belongs to us now.

I'll still participate in events like Indie Animation Day since by technicalities, a lot of my works counts as indie animation.

I just wanted to bring in my two cents on this phenomena.

So yeah, this has been my ted talk. ^^;

But back on main point, the raising standards for indie animation makes me feel awkward about using that label for my own works as well.

Maybe I'll adopt using as like homemade anime/cartoon/animation, lool

And if we really wanted to be fancy, we either had to save up to buy the software ourselves or resort to piracy for software like Sony Vegas (the most common software back in my day)!

And hell, I'm sure there are other hobbyiest communities that have a similar workflow to fanime.

Hell, back during the early years of the fanime community, due to the fact that Flash was expensive, people were making their own series via MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker. Literally, to this very day, we in the fanime community all have been making our own series with *zero budget given to us*!

I think what is also depressing about this is I recall a video in my recommended; it's of this kid who wants to make their own indie series but they feel that they need their own studio.

I'm like thinking to myself "Kid... you can just make your own series without needing a whole studio. 😭"

Like straight up: if the standards for indie animation keeps getting higher, I may snap and would be using the term "Doujin Anime/Doujin Animation".

Now, just to be clear: I know why I probably *shouldn't* so something like "Homemade Cartoon/Anime/Animation" might be a better alternative. >>;;;

This kinda remind me of a post I saw on this site that is in relation to indie games that is like "Yo, let these studios keep the word 'Indie', let's make use the term "doujin" games again!"

And while I know OP of that was partially joking, I cannot help but empathize with it. ^^;

So, I was going to rant about another thing but this one is a lil' more personal to me.

Truthfully, the high standards of what an indie animation "should be like" is kinda the reason why I feel slightly awkward about referring to my series of works on my animation/PV YouTube as "indie animation"

"Gissy, why tf were you trying to export an animation with an even smaller canvas size????"

Because a lot of old school fanime were in that canvas size and want to make a modern day equivalent who inserting gifs into Windows Movie Maker pre-Windows Live

As for the aformentioned lesson... welll

Long story short: In order to have the animation be exported, it must be around 720p or higher. Otherwise, you may end up getting the "failed to initialize mp4 export api" error.

It took me a while to learn that because I initially wanted it to be 480. ^^;

Soooo, for shit's and giggles, I have decided to test out the MP4 export that FireAlpaca recently have. (Yes, you can export your animations from it.) Outside of some frustrating lesson I needed to learn, I was surprised how well it turned out. There still no audio import but hey! It's something!!!

So, I speed ran the coloring process for the Valentines Minisode of The Mage of Silence. 0u0; I am very much too determined for my own good at points, LOL (All is left is waiting for 2 more VAs and BGs before I get to video editing!)

On a less silly (????) but still lighthearted note: TOMODACHI LIFE REAL IN APRIL!!!!

I never got the chance to play the 3DS game so this might be an opportunity to play it. I'm glad it gonna be on the Switch, alongside Switch 2. (I only have the Switch Lite)

I looking into the comments section of a video I was watching and I saw a comment that has the phrase "You guys cooked!", which is a positive comment.

But I almost read it as "You guys are cooked", and I had to do a double take, LOL

All that is said though, I am happy that I got JnR to exist in some way shape or form and it has open the gates of the type of medium I can do if I wanna give my characters voices!

Just.... man, the journey to this point is like.... insane, holy shit.

But yeah, all in all, Jades and Roses would've been a fanime if shit was not awkward.

If I were to remake JnR, there is a good chance it would've been a web novel, just on the so I don't relive the VA hell for it. ^^; (THIS IS A BIG *IF*, JUST TO BE CLEAR!)

That being said, however, it's no walk in the park.

Due to still feeling awkward (no thanks to my ex at the time), I did had to get help from a friend who is willing to take up the task.

That and Fellenor went through 3 VAs just to get the one who is willing to stick to the role.

It was hell. :'D

So yeah, that situation caused me make JnR into an Audio Drama. It was disheartening at the time but really, it's all for the best.

If anything, it does open with opportunities with what other stories I can turn into audio dramas in the future.

But as some of you may know, it became an audio drama instead.

So what happened?

Long story short: My ex made shit awkward, as he was desperate to contact me at the time. (Thankfully, not anymore as far as I can tell.)

Imma gonna say it here, just on the virtue of not needing to go back to the ex-birdy hellsite to get this information.

So, back in 2020, when I wanted to host the Fanime Bi-Weekly Challenge (which failed miserably; thanks covid), Jades and Roses was going to be a fanime.
