Hypothetical, but let's say if a new high-quality Indie Animated Series started charging for post-pilot episodes as an alternate form of series funding, how much would you be willing to pay for each episode? #indieanimation #indie

Somedays just make me feel like I need to give up everything I've tried to work for and have no clue what to do at all 😞

I'm finding what I most struggle with is making dialogue not direct. IRL, I can get confused easily by things not being direct, but people seem to prefer non-directness, so my Brian runs in panic mode, not understanding how to word something or if it sounds ok at all

Frustrates me trying to write something, and dialogue almost always stumps me completely. I always feel uncomfortable being in a convo that even when writing one out, it never feels right. 😞

Apparently, someone pointed out that it could just be a bad tangent and rushed Photoshoping job in the image rather than AI. What are your thoughts?

Does anyone else feel that Indie Animation channels need to do ALOT more cross promotion with each other to help bring attention to other series/channels?

The Internet Archive has tools that let you manually preserve a web page snapshot, and check to see if older versions are backed up, just in case that’s relevant today for some reason. web.archive.org

Chances of the blooming Indie Animation field getting effected really bad by the incoming tariffs starting tomorrow? Worried about it being most likely, but we'll see.

The caveat is that you have to feed your own data to be copywritten, but real world examples have shown that process is gonna be frustrating for EVERYONE BTS and will only result Gen AI phasing out of the process entirely by the end of the year (2026 if studios remain as stubborn as they are now)

I honest to God just want some big miracle solution to the animation job crisis to show itself already. Like, say, former managers/mid-level execs starting new independent studios. The reason I keep spitballing possibilities, no matter how fanciful, is in hopes one of them will eventually manifest

I recently got into a debate about whether or not BlueSky is viable for marketing an Indie game. So here, lets see how many wishlists we get from this post. (Yes there is a non-VR mode for steam) More info below 🧵

I know I'm a broken record but studios are going to lose amazing animation talent they'll never recover if they don't start making things again. ANY cartoons. We're years into the overcorrection from Peak TV and yet execs and studios are still terrified to green light even surefire established IP.

Ever since I lost a decent paying Indie Animation job years ago, I feel like I've been struggling to keep afloat. I do not want to give up on one of the only things I feel like I'm actually good at doing, but it feels like life really wants me to just give up on everything. 😔

Wishing Indie Animation wasn't dependent on having an audience cause I'm either constantly worrying about people not liking my stuff to the point where I can't continue anything with no support, or just feel like I'm failing at building an audience by being inconsistent with posting work

I feel like Indie Animation really needs to find ways to promote itself beyond social media, or at least find a way to make ads that can be put through YouTube videos.

I feel Indie Animation, despite growing more and more, is gonna take a hit from these tariffs coming in soon. With audiences needing to save what they have for essentials. Hopefully, people can still support somehow, or these tariffs get backtracked very quickly

Want to make more comics and small bits involving VSH and Mythix so bad, but I hate writing dialogue so much or it just feels way too much like I'm talking to myself all the time that it always stumps me from doing anything at all 😞
