Alpha Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi @El Squibbonator, happy to see a new player join CAYOM. I would recommend that you not use real-life major distributors or production companies for your films like Paramount Pictures or Warner Animation Group. Other players typically create their own studios to distribute and produce CAYOM films (e.g. Numerator Pictures, Blankments Productions, etc.). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I'll change it for The Insect God, but in the case of Frankenstein Jr. I felt like I had to make it a Warner movie because in real life, Hanna-Barbera is more or less joined at the hip to Warner Bros. There's already a The Wild Thornberrys movie on the list that has Paramount listed as its distributor, since The Wild Thornberrys is owned by Nickelodeon (both Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures are subsidiaries of Viacom). So there is precedence. Edited February 16, 2021 by El Squibbonator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is precedence. There really isn't a precedent. The Wild Thornberrys is an anomaly, and it should probably be changed by the writer of the film @YourMother the Edgelord since Paramount Pictures as a studio does not exist within the CAYOM universe. Hanna-Barbera may be owned by Warner Bros. in real life, but in CAYOM you might as well classify it as an independent production company that gets contracted to work on films distributed by your studio, since Warner Bros. doesn't actually distribute movies in CAYOM. Any other examples you would find are purely anomalies, simple as that, nearly all CAYOM movies are listed as being produced and distributed by the players' own studio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just changed the Paramount thing. That one is my fault, as I thought subsidiaries were okay, and I have fixed the issue. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 In that case, I'll change Warner Bros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) We’re about ten days before Y8 is scheduled to open.

We probably should get closer to March to assess the situation, but I think some people may actually want to take until April. Also, Penpal has been moved to Y9, according to studio plans.

Rorschach Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Yeah, Penpal and Abomination aren't happening this year. Unless I have a breakthrough with one of them and am able pound something out in a couple days, which I'd rather not do lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I thought Frankenstein Jr. was also scheduled for 8/9/Y8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) This is going to sound douche-y, but I would personally want the push-back date to be March 15th, March 22nd, or March 29th if there is to be any push-back date at all. My perspective is that passion for the game slows down if it stays within given year for too long of a time. The calendar posted above states that the schedule only needs 23 more films to be posted, so I don't believe that the deadline woulhave to extend past March. That's the only thing I ask from the perspective of a diligent film-poster is that the push-back date does not touch April.

El Squibbonator Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 How many movies am I, as a creator, allowed to submit? I've done two so far-- one which has been added to the schedule, and one which has not. Is it worth it to put in a third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Squibbonator Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 So why are only two movies listed on August 9th, even though I've written up another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) @El Squibbonator Yourmother's list is simply an indicator of dates that need another release to be placed on that date; when it says "1 film needed", it's saying 1 film other than Frankenstein Jr., and the other films (Speed and Folklore) are films previously planned for that date which may or may not fulfill that specific slot. In short, Frankenstein Jr. is still set for August 9th, but if you do make more films for this year, you can use that list to help you choose a date for films you might write!

Because the OP hasn't been updated yet. I'd suggest looking at the "last edited" insert at the bottom to see when it was last updated compared to when you posted your film.

El Squibbonator Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks for clearing that up. Although, I do want to give other creators a chance to breathe, since there's a limited number of slots left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
