GISSY-LOG ARGCHIVE 1.
Reason for the Archives: Honestly, inserting so much code on the Gissy-Log page with the Neocites Coder has been TOOO much of a hassele and has has become super slow. So, that's why there is an archive.
Gissy-Log 4/7/23 - Changes from Initial Concepts to Final Projects (Part two of the last log)
Hello! Hope you've been well! So, initially this was going to be a YouTube or WeVidi video but I've decided that it would be best for me to just discuss about this in a Gissy-Log. Sooooo, let's talk about something that I am sorta going through. It's nothing too serious, don't worry! It's just just more changes on the horizons. But Possibly for the better.
But before we get to my works specifically, let's talk about in a general sense
So, time and time again, there is thing that happens that the final product always tend to be at least slightly different from the initial concept, regardless of which medium. (Live Action, Animation, Comics, Video Games, etc.) but why is that exactly.
Well, in terms of being in any sort of industry (which is usual tied to something business related), it's more or less requested by the network/maybe streaming service, publisher, and/or producers. Like, to be a weeb for just a moment, an example I would like to bring up is Sailor Moon.
Like, there is a stark contrast between finalized designs:
And the first (?) designs:
Now granted, with the initial designs, there is a reason behind them, since Sailor Moon was (and probably still is?) meant to be a spin-off sequel to Naoko Takeuchi earlier work, Codename Sailor V. I don't exactly know why the designs changed but really, it could be for the best, given how unified the Sailor Senshi are in the finalized versions.
And in terms of indie works, sometimes, it could be as simple as the fact that maybe the creator of said work aren't really feeling the initial concept of a story anymore. I'd recommend watching SchRibbit's video about What Happened with Jaden Unshaken, since they briefly mention the many changes their characters went through over the years in that video.
And you know, maybe what was said in that video is way more on the point then what I would have said about it.
But for me (a dumbass), I don't normally change from initial concepts all too offten. There are a couple of reasons for that.
- I'm a stubborn asshole.
- If I have an idea, 9 times out of 10, I just STICK with the idea and how its intended.
- More so, say like I'm in that middle of making a project, there is a chance I'd want to stick with the ideas I had I wouldn't want to change shit while in the middle of production, unless it's a something I'm practicing with.
Now, I know that may sound super arbitrary and you'd be correct. But really, that's just how I roll most of the time.
..... Key word being "Most".
Because, I have come to the acceptence that some projects would need minor or major changes to make it more passible or really for my own comfort (we'll get to that when we'll get to that....). And I have two examples I would like to bring up.
One is Carrot Fluffs 2023 (Initially called the "Carrot Fluffs Remake")
Yep. We be talking about Carrot Fluffs, homies. This one is a more digestable story.
So, initially, I wanted to remake CF back in 2017/2018. It was going to more serious and has a lot more lore to it. Hell, there were was a part I made for my Day of Fate ~Spirit vs Spirit~ Multi Animator Project that was indicating as such. Then I realized a couple of things.
- There is still potential in the humor from the old fanime version.
- If I were to make it more serious, I'd had to drop the "Carrot Fluffs" title.. and I, a stubborn asshole, wouldn't want that.
So, I opted out the more serious tone in favor of a more slice of life comedy with some Fantasy and Sci-Fi Elements (Mages, Scientists, and humanoid-lookin' aliens). Not to say there won't be any serious moments but they won't be as frequent as I initially intend back in 2017/2018.
...
So, yeah, there was that. But now we get to another project I have that has a more sad and crazy back story for its initial version. And it's the project that I hinted about in my last post; the one that was (and partially still is.) in hiatus.
And that project is Exploring the Mysteries of the Multiverse
Strap yourselves in folks.. it's gon' be a long one.
So, I thought of this story back in 2020/2021 (so the covid years.) and really, it was essetially taking some characters I got from OC trades (as well as adding characters I design myself) and putting them into the Multi-Realm/Isekai story.
It was going to be more serious as well, due to some of the characters backstories.
That part remains true but there is more to this.
There is going to be one big group of 8 Main characters fighting the main antagonist(s). I debated on whether I'd want it to be an animated series, a web novel, an audio drama or a series of illustrations before ultimately deciding that this would be an RPG Maker Game with animated cutscenes.
And really, that was for the initial finalized concept, that could've been ready to be in the devolopment stage.
But then... the shit happened around me behind the scenes happened.
I won't go into it here since it is personal, but long story short, because of everything that happened around me, I've decided to put this story on what was supposed to be indefinite hiatus. I wasn't exactly the happiest camper in the world. But then, after having an idea for another project which I finally named Evavesto (it's the Evil Zone inspired project I talked about in the previous log), as well as being granted full rights to a character I designed for another project (and planning to put to said character in Evavesto), I've deiced I can go back to this concept but... make very few but very huge changes.
Firstly, Instead of One Big Group of 8 Characters, it would be four groups of 4 characters.
A reason for that desission is because I'd still want to keep the character designs for this. It's just at the moment, because of how much shit around me has changed, I might as well make huge changes like this to make it feel less awkward for me to work on it. Consider it my rebellion phase, if you will.
That would also mean some dynamics would change too. Luckily, most of which aren't really drawn so I guess I'm good in that department. Atm, there are 8 open spots but I would probably use designs I got from previous OC trades... or maybe just do more OC trades with folks I don't do OC trades with as often (if at all).
Instead of EtMotM being one big thing, it might be a series of slightly smaller connected projects.
And at the moment, I am debating on rather I want to stick with the RPG Maker Format or change the medium for the billionth time. Hell, it could either be back to an animated series or maybe I can go back into the feild of web comics for this project. With those, I may need some assistencs in the art department. (And animation department, so I choose to go into animation)
And because of factors that quite frankly, I won't bore you with too much of the details as that is its own seperate subject matter alltogether, EtMotM would be connected to Evavesto, which would also be connected to Seven Guidances to Wishful Safety.
That's right homies, this is gonna be a weird ass Trillogy/Tetralogy of Multi-Realm Stories, written by my dumbass. And given that EtMotM on of my more serious stories, there is a high chance that Evavesto might come out before this one. And unlike with EtMotM, which is flip-fliping what medium I would go for, I at least know what type of media I would like Evavesto to be!
Oh, and if you are wondering how SGtWS, Evavesto, and EtMotM could be connected and be part of a trillogy/tetralogy, despite being vastly different stories from one another.
While, the connected part is classified... for now. <u<;;;
But how they could be part of a trillogy/tetralogy?
Well, it's sorta like how folks view the first Key Visual Novels (Kanon, Air, and Clannad) be part of a trilogy.
And the reason why I also say "tetralogy" along side with "trilogy" is... that is due to the fact that there might be a chance I'd make a forth entry of the Gissy Multi Realm Story Collection. Why? Because I've lost control of my life.
But.... we gettin' a lil' off track here. Might as well be back on the main subject at hang.
So yeah, those are the two rare cases of me changing I had thought out conceptially to what they are at their current states. And while EtMotM has a HUGE under construction tape all over it (since Evavesto is a thing), Carrot Fluffs 2023 (while still a WIP because I need to write more of the script for the four final episodes of it) is way more finalized and I'm all the all more happy for it!
I know that it's rare for me to change shit and not stick with what I initially had but really, as I brought up a professional example and an independent example; changing from initial concepts to how a project would currently be is actually kinda common and I was (and kinda is, depending on the project) an outlier to the norm. But hey, some changes might be for the best.
... or they can be part of my rebellion phase.
Either perspective can work.
But that is all I can say on the matter. Hope ya''ll have a good one and take care!
Gissy-Log 3/9/23 - Changes and New Buddings
Hello! Hope you've been doing okay! I know that's it's been a hot minute. Let's just say that I have some things to think about, as well some changes (both sad and kinda releaving.)
Let's start with one thing related to the site. It ain't sad but man, is it a little embarrassing..
Long story short: There were some dead links in the "cool sites" section that appears in some of the pages of my site. I was informed about that and I wanted to scream until the cows come home but I couldn't because I was in a call with a close friend of mine. So, just today, I removed the links until further notice. It blows but it's whatever.
Now for some other types of changes.
Sadly, due to some things that lead to a project related to this die harder than my brain, I sadly have to put one of my projects into indefinite hiatus. And because of the fact, I have to put the characters on private until further notice. And it's a shame since it's a one of my more serious stories but it's probably for the best since:
A.) It's related to a project that is dead so there seems to be no point anymore.
B.) I need to learn how to start dropping projects since that is basically normal for those who have a lot of creative projects.
The latter one used to be SUPER difficult for me to grasp and that is mainly due to the fact that I kinda built myself a reputation of being able to finish projects....
.... mainly in the Fanime Community and there is a reason for that. You see, back then (and even sometimes now), there's always folks wanting to start their fanimes but then they don't finish them. It is something that 9 times out of 10 doesn't I don't end up falling into. Now granted, I did have the higher advantage of making my series in a visual novel style format soooooo I'm not sure if that is exactly fair on everyone else who was (and still is, in some cases) in the community around that point. With that said, some folks regarded me as the person who always finishes their fanime. Hell, it might've lead me to take pride in that. (One of the rare cases I take pride something, holy shit!)
That said, I think this mindset I have of keeping up the reputation finishing projects quickly is something I should let go of when it comes to projects. At least with some projects I feel like I should drop, I can say that at least there are no episodes/demos out so than no one will ask like "Hey, when's the next episodes/full game coming out?" or them getting sad about the project being dropped.
So, at the very least, I can take solace in that.
Anyways, now that we got the melancholic stuff out of the way. Let's go for the more lighthearted stuff.
So..... context:
One night, my friends and I were on Kosmi and were having fun with the PSX emulator that the site provided! We were mainly looking at games that were released in Japan (exclusive or otherwise). And let me tell you, there were a LOT of games, even we were limiting to those that released in Japan alone.
Anyways, you are probably wondering what is even the point of this.
Well, as we were going through the games there is one game that caught my attention more than the other games that night.
Fuujin Ryouiki Eretzvaju.
Also known in the west as Evil Zone.
What helped caught my eye was the banger opening:
(Yes, I have seen the Western Version of the OP that replaces the song with a different one altogether. Tbh, I kinda hate it. But, that's just how I personally feel.)
And the more I look at this game concept and story wise, the more it was filling up the hole that the project that was related to one of my more serious project was once in. Hell, I mentioned this to the friend that made the project that was near and dear to me and interestingly, they even said they were glad that I found something that I can take inspiration from... which is something that I am doing.
I'm taking some of elements from Evil Zone (characters coming from multiple dimensions to fight each other and then the main antagonist and having their individual stories presented like a different anime.) and applying to a future project of mine!
I already gave some characters some designs and their own concepts for their stories that relates to the main plot of the project!
...Oh and the project itself is sorta going to be like an RPG made in Ren'Py (Similar to Zucchini Royale!)
Don't worry, I'll still be making RPG Maker Games, if I want to make something that is a little more quick! It's just for this newly thought out project, I want to use the battle system ZR had
... that and also give some gameplay for people to chose a character for, since this is gonna be made with RenPy.
That said, I know it ain't gonna be a fast project since that are some factors that would make this different from ZR:
1. This is mainly a solo idea.
While I'm probably gonna have things like Picrews and ask some OC design trades to help me deifier characters, this is mainly a project I'm gonna write the story for. ZR is, without a shadow of a doubt, a collabrative work. (which I am happy on how that turned out. ^^)
2. You can choose a character, instead of being stuck with a defacto "main character".
I made a character select screen template for a reason. Yes, the fun for some visual novels is that you can name the character you are playing as but in all honesty, I wanna save that mechanic for stuff like slice of life VNs, dating sims (if I ever make one.), something like The Three Doors, and something my own path of making something like Culinary Kakkoii.
3. Like, with Evil Zone, there is probably gonna be some voice acted cutsceces.
Mainly talking about for when the character goes into a battle, it'll start with the narration from the character being like "Next time on [Insert their anime title here], I will be battling [Insert whoever they are fighting here]". And with something like this... I may have to go onto Casting Call Club for some of the characters.
4. I'd probably would want a break from this and maybe work on other projects
I still have other ideas for smaller projects so it might help to do. That and I have IRL circumstances to deal with
....
Sooooooo, yeah. I'm not expecting to finish this particular project as soon as I would for more simpler projects like any of my fanimes or hell, even some of my previous visual novels.
With that in mind, I am looking forward to thinking more about this project!!
And speaking on the upside of projects, I have gotten 5 episodes of Carrot Fluffs 2023 scripted!! Now, initially, I have been thinking of shooting 20 episodes for it but due to how long I have been going with this, I may have to chop it up to be 10 episodes. Thems the breaks, I'm afraid.
Anyways, that is all I would like to say. Thank you for taking your time to read my ramblings. I hope you have a good day and take care!
Gissy-Log 12/29/22 - A Year Recap
Well, it's nearly the end of the year and what do I think of it? It's..... a bloody rollercoaster
I won't go into too much detail as some of these are very personal to me but just know that they happened.
Initially I was going to record myself voice this but I have a lot more to say so I've decided against it.
So......... let's begin, shall we?
The positives:
Well, aside from the fact that there was one huge fun event (which I will not get into because it is personal to me), I got two games created and finished this year (three, if you count the collab VN I did with a friend). And hell, I was able to talk with folks I never thought I've been in VCs with. Granted, I'm still awkward as all hell, don't get me wrong. However, it is a start!
The negatives:
Aside from one thing that kinda just made me feel super down (I'll get to how much that affected me internally in just a moment), I had to deal with COVID-19 this year.... yeah, you can see why this is bad already. Granted, I was able to heal up afterwards but it's just so aggravating because I've spent two bloody years trying to avoid covid. Lo and behold, I ended up getting it this year! Bleh.. Also, personal family issues weren't exactly helping matters but sadly, that is par for the course, if we're being generous.
How I'm feeling:
A ray of mixed emotions, in all honesty. Because on one hand, the positives of this year were really great! But on the other hand.. the negatives really killed some of the high spirits I had.
Hell, due to one of the negatives, I was kinda feeling absolutely demotivated when it comes to creative works and was not able to draw as much as I would've liked. Luckily, that did kinda change when I got back into thinking about Carrot Fluffs and wanting to properly remake it. (This could be the nostalgia talking but hey! It's something!)
With that said, I'm still feeling a little depressed and have been going through my own 5 stages of grief.
And if I'm real for just a moment: I'm just tired. Like, holy shit, am I bloody drained from all the emotional stress that.... admittedly, I had thrust upon myself for the past few months.
Yes, you read that right: I have put a lot of emotional stress on myself and due to that, I have not been in a good headspace. However, I will try my best to be strong. It's not going to be easy, though.
So............................
What I may do moving forward:
Well, I am going to continue with creative projects but I might be rather slow with them. Hell, I've been preparing the sprites and soon will prepare BGs for Carrot Fluffs 2023 since I am doing it for the 2022/2023 Fanime Weekly Challenge (I wasn't really feeling the story I initially had for that challenge after a bit) so then making the VN frames will be a breeze (The only things that I will draw in the duration of the challenge are the CG frames).
I'm also thinking of reaching out to folks more often: Some people that I have been recently friends with this year, some old friends I haven't properly talked to in ages, folks I need to reach out more often and some I never thought I'd reach out to until as early as December 6th.
I think it's about time I start expanding my circles. Don't get me wrong, I'll still stick with the close friends I have currently but due to a lot, it's hard for me not to feel down about what's occurred. So, maybe doing just that might help me get into the acceptance stage a lot faster?
As for other things.... I dunno, tbh? Last time I tried to plan shit for the new year, some things did not go as well as I hoped (Still sad about SheezyArt dying again and losing my mind on how BuzzlyArt ended up). So, other than the Carrot Fluffs remake and wanting to start reaching out to folks, I honestly don't know where to go from here.
Hopefully I'll get back to streaming, since A.) My sister's car is fixed. And B.) Despite not being active, I've seen that I have some new followers. And not gonna lie, I miss interacting with the chat.
But we'll see what 2023 takes me, I guess.
Part of me does expect the worst, due to the negative shit that did happen this year but another part of me does hope that they will be good things for 2023. Like, not just for me but for my friends and those that chose to associate with me.
I also hope...... that 2023 would also be the year of new beginnings. Because outside of anything else............ That's what I'll be hoping for.
With that said, I hope you all have a good 2023.
Take care and Happy new year.
Gissy-Log 10/25/22
Heya. I know that it has been a very, very, VERY long while I made a Gissy log. A lot has happened.
Let's start with positives.
I've been wanting to do an RPG Maker Game for a long while and by the time the final quarter of this year was beginning, I finally was able to make one! It's called "A Cookie Tale". You might be able to find the download link for it on my "Misc. Works" page here on my site!
A another positive is that I finally have an idea for what I want to do for November- er well... more like anytime of the year before November of 2023. For those I kept in the dark, I am making a series for the 2022/2023 Fanime Weekly Challenge. And given that this challenge is an all year round challenge, I'd say that I can start on this any time I would like to! Which is good because, well.... truth be told, I'm not exactly in the best mind space at the moment.. which brings me to the negative..
Let's start with happened before time of what I'm about to get into:
So, around the end of August, I was tested positive for COVID-19. Long story short: my mom's came home sick. We thought it was a regular sickness but it turned out to be covid and it spread to the rest of the family (and my mom's boyfriend). Thankfully, we're all better now but man did that sucked.
Alright, now onto the thing that happened recently..
I won't go into too much details but let's just say there was a situation that kinda just... scares me. And aside from being productive with some creative projects (which is one good way to cope with it all) and talking to friends who are in a similar position as I was, I couldn't find any other good way to cope with all and I'm letting the stress of it get to me.
I just wanna preface this by saying that this is no one's fault. A lot has happened as aside from creative projects and talking to friends who were there, I'd haven't found any good ways to deal with the stress that, really, I'm putting on myself.
There had been okay methods, like going back to things I've find nostalgic (like watching DBZA (eps 11-20 to be persice) as an example.). A lot has to do with the mindset of "looking back to better days". However, there is one thing that did kinda lead me to this point..
...And that point is, bringing back an old imaginary friend.
I know that is sounds sad (and crazy) that someone who is getting close to their 30s starting to have an imaginary friend. And just to be clear, yes, I know that this imaginary friend (we'll call her Vina, just for convivence sake.) is not real and she is also aware that she's not real. However, for me, this is probably the best last resort because it doesn't involve me harming myself, unintentionally making shit worse for everyone around me, or something I might regret (like if I were to do something stupid based on my irrational emotions).
And the conversation that I kinda had with Vina was nice. There was one point were there was this exchange.
Vina: Ya know, if I was real to anyone else, I would love to meet your friends!
Me: Heh.... I'm sure they would've loved to meet you too if you were real.
And if you are wondering, this Gissy-log is the first (and maybe only) place I can talk about this. Lord know what would happen is I post this on Twitter. Some of the userbase of that hellsite does not treat folks with mental health all too kindly. I may mention it to close friends on Discord, since I can trust them not to judge me too harshly.
I thought I'd bring back the old imaginary friend because I feel bad that my stress is causing folks to worry and I kinda just need something to just help me put my mind at ease.
So, call it self-therapy, I guess. May not be as good as actual therapy (which I sadly don't have the money for; America's Health Care system is a joke) but it's duable, especially when I'm like, all by myself.
But yeah, that is that end of that. Hopefully I'll be in a better mindset but until then, I'll just make with what do.
Oh, and Vina says hi to you all!!
Gissy-Log 6/2/22
Hello! Happy Pride Month!
It has been a while since I made a Gissy-Log here! Well, I might as well give an update!
I have been running low for ideas for this website and I apologize about that. Honestly, I had been running low on ideas in general since I have been struggling with coming up with new ideas that might be viable enough for the event coming up in November. And the ideas I've mentioned in the previous Gissy-Log aren't hitting me as something I can do weekly.
I did had one idea tho! It's not gonna be a weekly thing (anymore) tho after a suggestion my friend made about the project but it is something I can do for fun; more so than some projects I have to keep on the down-low about. (I.E., keeping my more ambitious project a semi-secret so I don't cry myself to sleep if someone asks when they are coming out.)
With that in mind, I am back as square one when it comes to having an idea for the November Event. I.E., struggling to have an idea. It's the sad reality's but hopefully I'll get out of this rut! Someday!! Someday.... sunday.
But that is it, hopefully, you all have a good rest of the day and take care!!
Gissy-Log 5/2/22
So, as of me writing this Log, this will be more of an "food for thoughts" log than a "oh hey, an update!" log. But this is something that I have in mind for a bit since like one morning a couple of days ago.
I was thinking about how YouTube basically and how it basically kinda screw over users with a smaller follower base. Likewise, it might've also screwed animators of that size as well.
Now, I don't really want to get big on YouTube, especially when there are stories on how some of the fairly popular YouTubers had to go through leeps and loops with the current system in order to stay in the algorithm and that.... sounds like hell, truth be told. It sounds like something that would be a detriment to my mental health and is too anxiety inducing.
Me and another friend of mine who goes by "KHFMcAwesome" (who previously had the username "UltimateUKFFFan", some of you may or may not seen that name) both agreed that this idea that having YouTube as a job is not really the best for either of us. I know I haven't attempt to tried to make YouTube as my job but KHF had for a bit before he has an IRL job. Hell, he even tried to apply for ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (now known as Channel Awesome.) and given what happened behind that company, it was for the best that he got rejected-
But going back to the main point, I trilled off of it for quite a bit. Though, even with the fact that I never wanted to be one of those famous YouTubers, I'd still find it frustrating that discoverability is difficult, especially when it comes to animators, feels impossible due to the algorithm.
Now, I know one could make the argument that animators can just set up a Newgrounds account and just post their animators there. And that is a valid argument. I have an account on Newgrounds
Two problems, though.
1. Copyrighted Music is not allowed on there.
Now, this is a not issue for those that make their own music or use music from the Audio Portal. However, this an issue for those that... say like that want to make a music video and they wanted to use Bad Apple... just as an example. I don't think that this sort of thing is allowed on Newgrounds, if you want to use the song that was made in 2009.
Or better yet, if someone wanted to use songs for their projects and they use the Azumanga Daioh OST (as an example). There is a pretty high chance that will be removed off of Newgrounds.
Yeah, they had flashes with copyrighted music in the past but that was before 2015. They got rid of them since then.
2. It might be hard to convince some folks who don't like it join it.
Due to the long history of problematic users, some folks wouldn't want to join Newgrounds because of that
I know this might sound silly to some but eh.. bad eggs can really ruin a site for some.
So yeah, those are the key issues on why not many folks are joining Newgrounds
And semi not related to those issues but
With the animation community that I'm in (the Fanime Community), Newgrounds is a whole other beast all together. o_o;; NG has been around since 1999 wheras fanime (At least the concept of "Fan Anime" and calling it a fanime) had been around since only 2006/2007.
So there were some discussion on some Discord servers on how there needs video sharing site for animators (or even folks that just do all sorts of PV stuff, like motion comics, Key-Frame Stuff, Visual Novel Style Web Series and has some other stuff on there like Timelaspes for making an art peice/animation. And while Newgrounds is the best alternative for posting your series/one-shots on there, it isn't exactly good for speedpaints. x__x; (And again, refer to the two issues.)
Lately, I have been thinking about alternatives because... well, ever since shit with BuzzlyArt and the Elon Musk Twitter buyout, I just became so burnt and numb to everything, including the shit happening with YouTube. I just want a break from it all.
And then I remember PVHub.
To quote and semi-paraphrase from a Creative Studio Forum post about it:
"PVHub is a community based website dedicated to Picture Video(PV) creators. Picture Videos are any variation of your drawn work in video form (animatics, music videos, fanworks, full animation, etc.) You can go here to share your art, view other's creations, check out their resources and tutorials and chat and make friends with other members!"
"You can share basically anything visual! Whether it be an animation to a song you really like, a speedpaint you did, or an animated short, upload it here and share your latest work! You can also share drawings in the art section! Fan creation or original, both are welcome!"
So, that sounds like, the best idea ever.
Sadly, it didn't last too long. It started from 2013 (I assume?) and then shutdown in 2016.
It's more or less due to the fact that the Admin and Mods had their own lives to deal with and probably didn't had the time to run the site anymore. While it is understandable, it is also kinda ashame that this was the fate for PVHub.
Now I've headed over to Mastodon (particularly the Yesterweb instance since I needed to get used to the main one) because I'm just been tired of doomscrolling while also seeing the "Yo, don't leave Twitter, there are great artists here!". And while I'm not really leaving Twitter, I just need a break. Back to Mastodon, I know that it's part of Fediverse, which is what PeerTube is a part of.
And suddenly, the gears in my head were turning...
and turning....
until there is a ding in my little brain and the though came up.
"What if there is a PeerTube but for PV creators"
And since that moment, I have been thinking about that all day when I initially thought about it.
But yeah, I think a PeerTube for PV creators would actually be beneficial because Newgrounds is strict when it comes to copyrighted music and YouTube is being a dunce, as usual.
And honestly, I would love to create a PeerTube for PV Creators.
There are a few problems though... that.. requires a lot of banwitdh and knowing my luck, I kinda get the feeling I would have terrible luck with it when it comes to technology. -.-;
And plus, I don't know how many folks in the feild of setting up a PeerTube would be interested in helping me set up a PeerTube specifically for animation.
And truth be told, given that I had a terrible time with my mental health when I was an admin for the dicord server "Fanime World", I sadly don't think I'm the right person to be an admin of that PeerTube, even if everything works in my favor.
So, as much I would LOVE to make a PeerTube for animators and PV Folks, I can't due to a number of reasons.
But in the meantime, until that day comes where either my mental health is better or got someone else to make a PeerTube for, I think making a webring for PV Creators will help out.
I just gotta convince folks to make their own sites when their time comes. (rather it's on Neocites or even GitHub)
But let it be known that a PeerTube for Animators/PV Creators is the dream. ;o;
Gissy-Log 4/20/22:
So, it's been a bit since the first Gissy-log, huh? Well, here is another one. ^^
We'll start some things related to the site before I go into an unrelated subject.
1. The site itself
I have made more updates to the site, I added the visual texts so that way it still resembles something of a 2008 person site with customization.
There are some stuff I need to do: Adding more characters (Especially those outside of Seven Guidances to Wishful Safety), fan-art page (I'm calling it that now to make it easier on myself and those associated with me), and the pages for friends idie projects. (Latter might take a bit.)
I also want to make an updates page for short updats on the site so
But I do think I take a bit of a break from development for a bit. As much as I'm thankful for what I had in recourses in the other stuff page, I should probably just let myself vibe
2. Thinking about new projects after my break from web series.
Yeah, so, as some of you may not know, I've been making fanime/web series since 2014 and had been on break from that since I was able to since an old series of mine, Penalty X.
However, I was honestly pretty bored by my break that that went back to a shitpost series to finish that one. Truthfully, I didn't really need to but it's funny. So I did, lol.
But yeah now I got three series done!
So, now that I got them done, I am in the feeling of "...... now what?"
No I'm serious, I'd have made so many web series around this point that I'm just sitting here like "What the hell do I do now?"
Now, there is something that is happening in November that I will not say since I'm sure to the general public, that is classified information. But all I can say that it's an event! ^^
Now, there is the possible idea that I could just make a new idea and role with that during that event. Hell, it was like that during the previous times
However.....comma...
I did have thought of some ideas under my belt if I don't
1. Carrot Fluffs Revamp
Yes, I would like to make a remake for Carrot Fluffs. More so now than ever when a friend and I rewatched the original and holy hell, it has the whole "first fanime" syndrome. Some of the jokes, I kinda just.... regret.
I have been wanting to remake CF for a while but I had a lot of other ideas at the time. I was thinking of having it go into a more serious direction but then remembering some of the jokes that are okay (and also the name), I've decided to make the remake more lighthearted and fun. It would be for the better that way.
2. Destent: Despite All Odds
Yes, something that I did for the Fanime Castle Valentines Trailer Challenge is one of my possible ideas for the future event.
Now initially for this idea was only gonna be for that challenge, with no intention of making episodes for it. I went ahead and made the trailer was because there was not much activity during the challenge so I made mine to boost motivation for folks to finish up there entries.
However, the more I thought about the idea, the more I was like "....gosh dang it, I wanna do this idea now. ;o;"
Back to the main part of this section
So, it's possible that I have ideas for the event in November but like I said, there is also the possiblity that I just go with a new idea. ^^;;;
Now, I mentioned this on my ToyHouse but I have been thinking of making a Seven Guidances sequel but I will not put that for the event. That is something I want to take WAY more time on then a series I would do in November.
But yeah, that's all, I'd like to say in this section.
Plus I wanna go into other mediums but that's besides to point.
3. Other stuff
This part is more of a journal then anything because I like screaming into the void. My corner of the internet is so obscure that it's unknown to the a lot of obscure parts of the internet, LMAO.
One thing I would like to so one of these days is make a music video where each part as different style of animation.
From the Frame-By-Frame Animation on RoughAnimator to Puppeting that I would do on HitFilm Express (latter being fun, during the times I practiced with it!)
Hell, I would even post some shitpost animations on there as well!!
....Yeah, the music video I would like to do would be very very silly. And was thinking of going for a song that is silly as this one in particular:
Though, I wanna go for a song that is around a minute because a song that almost goes a whole 4 minutes sounds like death. x__x;;;
But we'll see what song I would use.
In other news in this section, I know that starting next Wednesday, my mother and I are going to babysit two of my nieces for the weekend since my sister and her husband are going out for a 4 day weekend. It's gonna be weird since we have to be at my sister's place, then back at home with my nieces over, and then my grandma's place. Yeah, it's so it being stressful is something I might be stressed out about. I let my group chat know ahead of time since I feel it might be better that way.
So, that is it for this log. I promise that future Gissy-Logs will be shorter and more on subject (as well as making an archive zone, if these are too long). ^^;;; I have a high tendency to drone on and on and on about a lot of things and I do want to apologize for that.
Gissy-Log 4/10/22:
So, I finally got this website rolling. After months of it being dormant, I've sat down, used Sadgrl's Layout Builder and used HTMLG's Editor to get what are good codes I need, throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks, and boom, this site is viewable for the public eye! And plus, I recently made a guestbook page, which redirects to my 123guestbook back
Now, I need some stuff to do for this site:
- Add more OCs on this site
That would take a bit since I pretty much have more than 100 OCs at this point
- Make a image gallery page for my art
I mean hell, the reason why I've made a Neocites site was because I was not satisfied with how Google Sites handles image galleries. And one of the reasons why I wanted to put my art on there to begin with was because I was getting a little too aggravated with how we don't exactly have a good art site at the moment (BuzzlyArt was kinda the final nail in the coffin for me.) and while I'm still kinda posting my art on Twitter, the algorithm on there can be rather super disheartening.
So, yeah, I want to make an image gallery page here. I just need to figure out how to set it up
- Make an "Art For Gissy of Week" Page
Yes, you read correctly and are probably wondering on what I mean by that. Well folks, I can exactly blame you since this is titled weirdly
With that in mind, I'll explain:
This is basically a Fan Art of the Week Pages, except it's not just limited to fanart:
It also includes art that I've commissioned and gift art (rather it's requested art and art trades).
I'll be sure to credit the artist that gave me said art! If I can't find and/or remember them, then sadly, I can't really feature them.
- Add more visual text gifs
So, you noticed that for the welcome page, there is a welcome gif with "closest thing I'm willing to draw for a IRL" sona and my VTuber/PNGTuber/YouTuber Sona? I want to do something like that for other pages!
With the exception of the guestbook, I want to make more visual text gifs! It would give the site more sense of fun!
- Make an "Other Projects" Recommendations
One thing is for sure, I would love it folks check out my friends creative projects as much as if they were to check out my own projects.
So, I thought I make a page dedicated to that sort of thing!
Now, onto the conclusion!
I dunno how soon I'll get to these, especially considering the fact that I'm supposed to be on break with how much work I put on myself before (I had to finished two web series and two visual novels! Not to mention, I stressed myself out for a YT version of an audio drama.). Hell, I'm not sure how often folks update their neocites sites.
But it is something worth doing!
And don't worry, not every update will be as long as this. There will be sure updates!
If you have anything to say, feel free to click on guestbook at the navigation bar on this site!
With that in mind, I think I'm good here. I hope you all have a good rest of the day/night and take care! ^o^
