HOLY CRAB !! 🦀 90k views in less than 2 Days?




I'm genuinely impressed... I didn't expect to see that this series would get this much attention again after these months :/
I knew there were hardcore fans, but 90k in 2 days I think that's the first time I ever get that on the channel.

------

first of all : THANK YOU SO MUCH ! This video was really hard to make it happen, we faced many issues to make this episode possible (especially on the 2nd half where there were big issues)

Big shout-out to ‪@Senator_Kujo‬ who contributed the most on this episode, actually there were meant to be more people involved such as ‪@jit_animation‬ for the fighting scene, and ‪@AlbinoTheHedgehog‬ for more hand drawn scenes (who went inactive due to studies), and ‪@MaxwellTheCat123‬ who could only contribute to one scene of this episode.

But we faced many complications for this one, most of it is due to my fault, my planning was poor and disturbed a lot by my studies, I took a long time before coming through something that could fit well because I wanted to put a lot on that fighting part near the end, but not everything was executed pretty well (I'm going to explain in a bit)

I went a bit selfish for the scene ⁨‪@jit_animation‬ (aka. Monk) was supposed to help me, I had very specific ideas but that was very complicated to translate and to split the work, because everything had to be in pace with the music, and I apologise for that.

I went through making a very epic scene, but at the cost that this scene has huge flaws story wise, and I received returns about that in the comments multiple times.


------

The scene when Shadows decides to betray Metal Sonic and later on Metal Sonic deciding to defend Neon was confusing. I tried my best to try making something that could be understandable, but it was almost impossible due to the fact that the build up of their character development was done way too late. And I couldn't spit everything in one single episode.

I noticed that issue during my big break after ACT 11, I knew it would be very difficult to come with something that could be logic in only a few episodes before the big fight.

------

TSA is my first big atempt in writing a story, so there are flaws for sure, It changed radically since season 1.
I hope it didn't annoyed that much, I see that you all enjoyed the quality of animation at least : )

I'll try to do better next time ^^




------------------------------------

Now about what's going next :



-We'll be working during this summer to produce ACT 15 and ACT 16, the remaining episodes before the end.
Stay tuned because we might upload it from September and the end of the year possibly.

-I'll be posting a few shorts and other animations during the summer too do fill the gap, I have things I wish to upload.

-I may announce something pretty big soon too.... 👀 (image 4)

Hey, one day left!


Tomorrow, I'm going to do a livestream before the episode drops out. Question, do you prefer Gaming or Animation Livestream?

for gaming I was thinking about a few games with some people on discord :

-SM64 Coop
-SRB2 Kart
-Lethal Company


Or maybe, I can simply animate the first animation of The Boys I announced months ago : The boys in Speed Highway if you're interested.

Howdy! Are you ready for this week-end?


I will do another post tomorrow or friday about the potential Livestream before the episode drops out, but first I've got to tell a few things here :


-The first one is : After ACT 14 drops out, I'll be quite busy with school work for a bit, so the video rate will be a bit slow unfortunately, but to compensate I'll upload a few Shorts of previous TSA episodes or some past content, plus additional short animations I've been working around.

-The second one is about the Membership system, I might not be the only one to think it but there are things that are not great about it, especially about the formula that says "Become the first to watch my videos" and "Get a chance to appear in a video".


It's been a moment since I wanted to change things up about this, first due to the fact that I post less often than before and second due to the fact that I don't really like how limited I am with Youtube's Membership tools.
@Trinity is the one who was subscribed the longest and I discuss with him often on Discord, and we put on the table about the fact that there's something wrong about the current Membership and it's quite unfair.


I'm going to remove the membership soon (or change everything about it), and replace it with a Kofi or Patreon, I'm currently exploring what this has to offer and I think it should be a bit better to give actual stuff to the fans from here, have a better follow-up of who is actually subscribed (because on youtube I can't find back people who are unsubscribed, and it's problematic). I wish to give exclusive content as well as free stuff like my own 3D models and resources from here.


I'm sorry for those who have paid the subscription and got nothing in return, I felt bad about it and I'm trying to find solutions to change that. I'm currently setting up a collab/cameo video that will be announced soon so I'm keeping the names I saved from previous months so they can have a priority if they want to participate.

It's close to the end 👀



Howdy, sorry for not giving news for a little while, this month has been tough for me and I was kept busy almost all time.
I'm now soon to be done with that big school project, and I'll soon be able to clear TSA ACT 14 once and for all.


@littleneonstar756 also told me that last week it was the 4th anniversary of TSA (the new version).
Happy anniversary to TSA (it took that long haha).

Hey! The Channel is 9 Years old now!

I created my Youtube Channel on February 26 2016, and crazy to know how far we've come in 9 years !
(I remember the time I asked my parents if I was allowed to create my Youtube account xD)

I wish I had something to celebrate that, perhaps we can try doing something this week-end on live?

--

This week has been really productive until now, TSA act 14 is getting dangerously close to being completed, and I think we have a chance to drop it next week!

--

Also, I wanted to say something about the Membership subscription, you might have seen that I posted a members only video a few days ago, and I just noticed that it was visible to everyone (I mean the video thumbnail, you need to pay to watch :/ )
That's something I quite dislike about it because YouTube is very limited in terms of gifting stuff to subscribed members, and I don't want private videos like this to be available in my video list like that.

I'm thinking about solutions about it (Kofi or Patreon) to test new ways to offer gifts to members. Honorable mention to @Trinity for being the most generous donator (and friend ;D ). He's also responsible for doing giveaways during my livestreams and that's also the reason why I posted that video recent days.


So yeah, I'm planning to re-arrange the membership thing soon, if you just want to donate to support me go ahead, but I think it's better that you wait until I change my offer ;) (the prices will not change by the way).

have a good day :)

Hello!

I turned 22 years old today, and I wanted to say thank you to all your kind messages you sent me on Discord ^^




I enjoyed my day, but this week-end I'll put some time for myself and chill so I'm not going to do a Livestream this week-end. We'll try doing one next week :)


I'm also in vacation for one week, I'll try putting my time working on Act 14, but I'll also have homework to do so I'll inform you of the progress and an eventual release date for TSA.

Howdy!

We're back on Livestream or not??
I'll come back animating this Saturday, but now we have finished that TSA Scene, how about we do some 3D tomorrow?


Would you like to see this 3D TSA Scene, or something new?
