I am going to graduate from university!! That doesn't mean I will be more active on this site. I may not be as occupied currently, but I want to study an actual animation software in my spare time now that I am done studying in school. While I have a YouTube (and monetised), I may not go further in my position in the future, so I may still be looking for a job to earn a living. This is why I want to study a software instead of being in Scratch for so long. Even though I have said I am done with it, I still use it as animation software here. As I stated before, Scratch is a good free "animation" software. However, once you know how to code, animate, and master the tools of Scratch to create whatever you want with your artistic skills, everything is just an endurance test. It is possible to create long animations here and add complexity, which people thought was impossible in Scratch, even vector rigs (look at the spriters in Scratch, like me). Getting closer to my 10th Scratch Anniversary, I can do all these, but they take so long! This is why I decided to switch. That doesn't mean I would quit, though, as I need to know when to leave. No matter how much I depart, with varying reasons on each attempt, I ended up looping back here. This is why, from now on, the upcoming projects here will not be as intensive and long as my previous projects. They will more likely be fillers than anything. I want to move on to a new software not only to be more flexible and eligible for animation gigs but also to improve my workflow. Animations in Scratch take unnecessarily long, even with my own workflow animation template. And yes, I can ride the waves to be known in the YouTube community as that one niche animator who animates in Scratch, but I have many ideas which may take less time if I use a different software. This unfinished project was one of them. This is the opening of my next big Pizza Tower animation (not Chopping Board), and it would use the remade sprites I made. However, it got postponed when I got exams (when my hiatus began), and "Cooking With Peppino" was rebranded. Even though this animation won't be finished, the concept of this may be transferred when I find suitable new software for longer animations. However, I was also making another Pizza Tower animation for this project, which is the secret project I alluded to about three months ago. It's around 90% done. That project will probably be the last main project for this site for a while (unless complications happen; you'll understand what I mean when the animation is done and published on YouTube). So yeah, it's been a while. I hope my three-month hiatus didn't kill my relevancy lol (probably did, but who cares) Also, the Scratch servers have been acting wonky recently. I know it's a good thing I made a habit of using offline Turbowarp editor for my Scratch projects nowadays, but I swear this site has been going on maintenance more times than the number of times I leave in a span of two months. The entire site even went down one time; what is going on?
