The game was gonna be M rated. Dumbledore said the f word twice in the draft I sent them.

Matt

There was a side quest, and I was really quite proud of it, where the player, following the revelation that Lord Voldemort had been killed attempting to destroy Harry Potter, sends potions and other goods to Iran to get the funds to defeat the remaining Death Eaters.

Matt

regret to inform you all, after viewing the trailer, that Warner Bros has opted NOT to use my script for the new Harry Potter game that sets the game in the 80s and features Margaret Thatcher meeting with the Minister of Magic in an attempt to recruit the player, voiced by Don Swayze, to infiltrate a Soviet-operated school of wizardry in an attempt to stop World War III. Lea Thompson played the love interest. Very regrettable to they've chosen not to use my story.

Matt

Had to pull out the original mouth shapes from My Little Brony today for a gag that none of my modern audience will understand. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876095

Matt

People are gonna be like “wait, you were just sad?? ffs Matt”

Matt

Hope nobody finds out I wasn’t addicted to drugs during my hiatus, cos that’s usually the only acceptable excuse.

Matt

Got so disappointed… an absolutely useless kid I’ve been trying to get to quit for so long told me today he was quitting… and then he took it back because he thought I’d ask him to stay and give him more hours. He’s really overestimating just how much he contributes to my front end.

Matt

Is that what 19 year old me intended? No, it was literally just “lol Nazi” back then, but uhhhh that’s the intent now

Matt

Ultimately I could make a pretty good argument that the joke is not *actually* poking fun at German companies with origins in Nazi Germany, because that would probably be most of them, but that the actual target is the leniency with which Nazi sympathizers in the business sector were treated in the years following WWII. Eichmann was one of the worst, but in this universe, he owned a car company, so we let him off with a warning under the condition that he open a factory in Michigan - which he did, before closing it in the 80s and relocating to Canada for a tax break.

Matt

i made this car in 2016, when I was 19. This is the first time the badging - a very mature nazi joke, poking fun at Mercedes-Benz' origins as a manufacturer - appears on screen. Going back and forth on whether or not I want to retexture it to remove that. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876094

Matt

This is gonna be my first major cartoon since my brain started actively trying to kill me, so I'm very anxious about the release.

Matt

have to imitate my “old” style from when I was 18 because this cartoon has a flashback to the first Twin Souls and I want the new animation to match the old animation… but I think I wasn’t even animating proper walk cycles back then so this might not even be applety enough http://rainbowdash.net/url/876093

Matt

When I start a cartoon now I usually use a program to generate turnarounds for characters’ heads based on two or three keyframes. Speeds things up a lot. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876092

Matt

at the beginning of this series, five and a half years ago, i intentionally avoided using swears or edgelord humor to prove that i could be funny and tell an interesting story without resorting to vulgarity. 2022 Matt decided to put a chronic leaf on a main character's shirt. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876090

Matt

At the same time, it's not great feeling like you peaked at 19. I'm not sure I'll ever make anything as successful as The Twin Souls which often makes me wonder what the point of continuing to try to outdo myself is.

Matt

i do miss those days a lot but looking back getting all of that attention from kids on the internet when i was 19 did kinda mess me up

Matt

back when i was e-famous i used to get requests to draw weird Undertale AU stuff a LOT during streams. i usually ended up taking the banana and making the characters say terrible things to get people to stop. unsurprisingly, this only encouraged people http://rainbowdash.net/url/876088

Matt

My boss keeps messing with the schedules I’m making and over-correcting for me going slightly over budget. Annoying, especially because he leaves me with zero coverage. Today one of his changes literally violates union rules (unintentionally, I’m convinced he has no idea what he’s doing). I’m not gonna tell him. Just gonna let that powderkeg go off.

Matt

You know. Because Disney’ll sue me.

Matt

This two-part Swole Foods script parodies Wolfenstein, The Man in the High Castle, Doctor Who, and Homefront, and features, in just the first part, ten uses of the word “Nazi”, including one in a musical number that parodies Donald Duck in Nutzi Land, with all associated imagery plastered throughout. The characters are forced to dress like Nazis to blend in. One establishing shot has the Washington Monument flying Nazi flags. All of this is to say, I can’t ever make it.

Matt

Oh, what, your new President thinks the state should only cover 90% of your medical expenses? Poor you.

Matt

can’t take the news about South Korea electing a right wing president seriously because to them the Roosevelts probably would’ve looked like David Duke

Matt

Dr. Bees. Opted not to use the original artwork from the cartoon because Harry drew the lines very thin in this cartoon & it didn’t read well when shrunk down to emoji size, so I basically traced over it with a much thicker brush & modified the face, exaggerated the size of certain features, etc. to keep it readable on mobile devices. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876087

Matt

Another Killgar, essentially recreated from a screenshot because the original .fla was MIA http://rainbowdash.net/url/876086

Matt

Irving, the Socially Awkward Bee http://rainbowdash.net/url/876085

Matt

designed a few emojis for Harry Partridge’s Patreon Discord, which I run because Harry’s a bit computer illiterate. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876084

Matt

This sounds kiwied up but I’ve never helped a customer from the former Soviet Union who WASNT sending money for nefarious purposes.
