You've all (not) been waiting for it. Here it is. ----------------------------------- Sept. 2022 - After scraping the previous version of this project and starting this one, I was in quite the dilemma. While I still wanted this to be the best animated one of the series, I realized that I was aiming too high for my skill level at the time. Therefore, the plot went through many rewrites. As you can tell by reading the original Notes and Credits on this release, many of the plots sounded very similar to my plan for the other project, while some sounded completely different. In the end, I settled onto an idea where the gang stumbles into a stereotypical western town and experiences some stereotypical tropes of the western genre, such as Mexican stand offs and wearing silly cowboy-esk clothing. They were also gonna meet Clint Eastwood who would help them fight a boss and continue on their journey. However, I never got far enough into production to decide what this boss would be. Another noticeable difference between this version and the last version is that this one is wayyy shorter than the other. While V1 was happening during the backend of my active years on Scratch, rewriting the plot of this episode took so long that by the time I started working on it, I had already announced that I was going to be less active on Scratch and I definitely kept to that. Most of the walking animation you see took a month to make. Not because it was really hard, but because I would only work on it in between my high school classes. Also, motivation was hard to come by. This is because of a mixture of personal reasons and also the fact that most people involved in this series had been long gone from Scratch. Most of them I haven't seen for years at this point. Eventually, without even finishing the opening sequence, I decided to give up on this love project once and for all. After all of these years, I hope there is somebody out there who will appreciate me sharing these two attempts and continuing something dedicated to the friends I made on this platform. I highly doubt it, but I figured I had nothing to lose by sharing these anyways. So have fun, and for all of yall who have been there since the beginning, thanks for everything. This is for yall, even if it's nowhere near finished. I'm sorry.
CREDITS: Ramones- Intro Song PKMNRanger, Sterlon, Blooper-Raptor, and Projectos- Main Characters (As with the other version, the notes below are original and from the time this was being made) FUN FACTS: Whoo, boy. This is quite possibly my biggest project to date, especially if we look at how long it took to make. SEVERAL years. Whew. Now, granted, most of that time wasn't spent making this, but I digress. Here ya go: -This project went through several plot rewrites, I believe this is the fourth version -Some scrapped plot ideas were: We enter a boss battle with a big monster and beat him using the power of Heavy Metal and randomness, We enter a cave in the mountain (which is just a section taken from the game Doom) and we go in and get roasted by Imps and Hell Knights, We save a man from the mob and he tells us where the treasure is (even though we already have a map, so that would be kinda dumb), I make reference to the amount of time that's passed since the last episode by letting each character go meta and notice the differences between then and now, etc.
