Animation Verdict
3 years ago
General
It's happening.
And, you're gonna get everything. The main animation, the isolated loops, perhaps some variants if people want them. The response to the funding page was actually very unexpected. If it was going to be anything, I expected it to be a series of $5 contributions or so, but the people who did contribute were much more generous than that and if I'm being honest, I'm not exactly sure what to say, so I'll just pivot to shitting on Furaffinity for a while.
Anyway, FA is booty. It's been a fucking week and animations are still broken and images are being re-compressed and worsened. Unless they're the most reckless web devs on the planet, they surely have backup code they could revert to from before last weekend and they're just not doing it, presumably because they don't actually have a server space to host these bigger resolutions they promised and were hoping you wouldn't notice how they pulled it off.
It's extremely annoying.
For the immediate future, I'm trying to hold out and hope that by some miracle this is the one time that the phrase 'we're working on a fix' actually means the same things the words do, because I'd really rather host the animation here, proper. It'll absolutely cripple engagement if I have to host it somewhere else and just post a link - humans don't complete extra steps. That said, you're all owed an animation so if this goes on for too much longer I will indeed throw it over on e621 and just...deal with it. They just had to fucking pull this shit this god damn week. It's almost comical.
But either way, thank you to everyone who contributed to that. It was much more than expected.
Going forward, I'm gonna try being nicer to my fans, and meaner to my dad.

Shitty that it's happening during an animation blackout on FA but happening all the same.
