    Sorry to hear that Dogg. Hope the next step presents itself soon.

      Sorry about that [MENTION=3144]Dogg Thang[/MENTION]. What was your business, by tge way?

      Comment




        This makes me mad. It's almost as if Cressida Dick, who recently denied the Met is not institutionally racist, is trying to get a job with Trump when she inevitably is forced to stand down.

        If it were a copper (PC Blakelock comes to mind) or an abducted white toddler (Madeleine McCann) then there would be infinite resources to keep the cases open and ongoing.

        **** the racist Met.

It was a weird decision to come to in that it wasn’t that we couldn’t keep it going, it’s that we couldn’t keep it going while being true to why we set it up in the first place and so it seemed right to let it go. No idea what comes next. Well, at least everything else in the world is going great so... oh.
          Sorry to hear that Dogg. Very principled decision and I'm sure you'll go on to success elsewhere.

              Thanks guys. I appreciate that. It is sad and what has made it even more bittersweet are the messages of support we've had since announcing it, especially from people who've been our crew with many of them saying that we've been the best job they ever had. It's sad we don't get to continue that because I know it's a tough workplace out there for them. But really, it's not actually terrible. It's not our first choice, obviously, but our hand wasn't forced and having control of that and knowing it was the right thing to do without having our backs up against the wall (which would have been rough) has made it okay. It was time to call it.

              Still sad though! We actually achieved a huge amount in our short time. We have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for.

                  Really not sure. Maybe, although I have some freelance work on right now that might make me exempt. I'll look into it, thanks.

                    Think it depends on if the closure was as a result of the Covid 19

                      Ah okay. No it was unrelated.

                        Sorry to hear this @Dogg Thang. You're an exceptionally gifted artist - I still remember the sketches you used to knock out for us forumites back on Swapnote on the 3DS - and I can't imagine you won't find a meaningful and rewarding new outlet for your talents.

                          Sorry to hear the bad news Dogg Thang, I've only seen a couple of your images but they were so good I wished I could produce similar art.

                              Wtf? So financially you were ok? But shut it due to “not being true to the original idea”?

                                Do you have any animation on youtube? Must say the nursery rhymne animation looks lucrative on there! There are a lot of studios making them, of varying quality, but most are in the millions of views for each video.
