So, I've been thinking about my animations for a while now, and seeing the changing environment on Youtube, how the algorithm is crippling growth, the requirement to chase trends, the suppression of reach if you don't upload [X] Minutes at least once a day, the messy focus on Shorts etc, and it's really starting to feel like a full return to Newgrounds is a wise move to make.
First on the docket, is releasing my Youtube animations (mostly Mortal Kombat Kock-ups) over here and seeing how it holds up. Sprite animation is always going to be divisive over here, and I know that, but it's my passion and I will fight for it.
I wish there was a way to do a little vote or something to gauge interest in my return.
Then again, I've been pretty terrible here, so starting from scratch might be my penance.

My current approach is to release on NG first, then Youtube later. NG's preview system helps from a technical standpoint by being able to preview projects before publishing them. By all means, please publish more sprite animations to here! The more sprite animations, the better.

Yeah, I get ya, there's been many a times I've released a video and wanted to change one or two elements 🤣 and had to wait until I do a compilation or an edit for a Shorts reupload
