Hi, My name’s Lucas Launay, a french dude who likes doing animations. RPDJ means nothing except sounding cool hehe.
I love Sonic, But my content is not fully based on it, I love retro gaming, 80-90s "Synthwave/Cities" aesthetic and racing cars, and a bunch of other stuff.
I post what I like to do here, from Sonic animations, to crazy stuff coming straight from my head. I make concepts, and most of all I DO HAVE FUN! ^^
I'm very thankful of the community that grew up with me, working alone for over 9 years, I will soon contribute to future great projects for the channel, for others or just for the fun of creating :)

Hello, and Happy holidays!
I wish to be in vacation too but my school doesn't let me have a deserved break, plus I'll have homework during christmas... T_T
Just to say, I'm finishing preparing a compilation video coming for around Christmas. At least to chill out rewatching my old stuff and adding some fun facts behind the creation of these. Plus I will tease a really special thing near the end so you better not miss it 👀
This was originally planned for this Saturday but with all the homework I need to clear before friday night, I prefered delaying it next week, between Wednesday to Friday max. (just before SMG4's final video)
Take care, and stay tuned!

Howdy everyone! I hope you're all doing well.
I've got some ANNOUNCEMENTS to make :
---
First up, I want to announce my collaboration with *Earthcore Media LLC* for an upcoming Sonic animated film, in association with *Child's Play* charity.
This is a 3D animated film we've been working around a year in the silence, it's called Metal Mania, and there's a teaser trailer coming out TODAY.
Watch here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7pfs...
I animated several scenes along with other skilled animators, artists and VAs (you may know some of them).
plus one special guest you might all know :)
I'm going to tell more about this project later.

For Christmas, I wanted to go back in time as we're dangerously close to the 10th anniversary of the channel ! And invite you to re-watch my old content in a *ONE HOUR COMPILATION* video. There will be funny references and I'll tease something big in the end of it 👀
Be ready as it's coming the 20th of this month!
This period is quite tight for me so for now with all projects + personal life stuff. I'm preparing big things in background but that's the best I can give for now guys.

Hi, long time no see heh?
I'm having a messy schedule at the moment, and I'm working on huge updates for the future of the channel so it's taking me a plenty of time (+restoring all my setup from my former laptop)
I'm on multiple projects at the moment, the first being a short animation for an upcoming event organised by Trinity in my discord server : an experimental Sonic Racing Crossworlds tournament that starts in 9 days. If I manage to release a little trailer/opening for a potential livesteam I'll do for this event.
-
I'm also preparing some big stuff around, I'm almost actively working on the 10th anniversary special video for the channel (I created in February 2016). a way to go back to my roots where it all started.
My team and I are also working on the next release of Team Sonic Adventures as we can, ACT 15 is quite complicated to do and we struggle finding free time to work efficiently, if possible we'll try to release it for Christmas (or at least something related to it)
-
I'm actively working on brand new assets, that I will soon share FOR FREE via a brand new Ko-Fi page that will replace my current YouTube Membership (the former members will receive exclusive content in return). I'm finding new ways to make my future videos. It will take some time before I come back to a regular video rhythm, but at least the quality of it should be very improved!

Howdy, I’m here again with the new setup.
I just posted a short demo video showing the new PC I received not long ago.
youtube.com/shorts/QM-Rljb-7z...
I’m slowly recovering my projects back but it’s taking some time because I have many files to transfer. And I have a poor connection for the past weeks so I’m struggling a bit to recover big projects like TSA.
So everything might be delayed again. I will need some time to prepare an update I’m working on for the channel. So there might not be any video for a little moment unfortunately.

Little note to Sprite Animation fans who can’t afford Adobe Animate or a Computer to animate.
I can suggest you this new starting tutorial series by my good old friend Doujin Pixation (literally the one who inspired me with Patafoin at the time)
He’s using ToonSquid on iPad, which is quite accessible despite costing a little bit to download (I think it’s 10 bucks).
I’m also planning to make another Animation tutorial in the future (both sprites and 3D) to showcase more advanced stuff and my own techniques.
Take care people, I’ll get you updated when I’ll get my new computer ✌️

Today marks the end of a journey with my trustful machine.
My laptop : Asus Rog Strix Scar 2 [GL504GS] has stopped working this morning. (While I was working on TSA lmao)
It cut off suddenly, and doesn’t respond. (Even without battery). A bit frustrated as I installed fresh new fans a few weeks earlier before going on vacation 🫠.

The good thing is : all my data is safe! (I took the precaution to put everything on external drives and so on). I’ll try getting back the data that is inside the computer in a few weeks, if they’re all safe. If not, I’ll just lose the last two weeks of work at the very worst.
I’ll invest on a new PC soon, I tried figuring out the problem and my entire setup is compromised. So repairing would cost too much for nothing. But for now I’m completely unable to work on my videos nor do anything related to it for weeks (as I was preparing something big for the end of the summer 😔)
I will upload the very last animation I did with that computer before it passes away. It’s a short I first put in instagram for a joke.
I will do another post soon to tell you informed of the updates. ✌️
