I never hated you, but if I ever was antagonistic towards you personally then I'm incredibly sorry. Don't want any harsh feelings with anybody in this game. 43 minutes ago, Spaghetti said: I've been thinking about SPARK quite a bit lately, and I will say that my current vision for it is WAAAYYY different than its original vision. I'm almost not sure if I want to continue with characters I haven't touched for three years (in game time) or start fresh with something new. In an effort to buy time, a different animated film will be released in Y10 - a steampunk musical adventure. I have to say I'm getting similar feelings while writing Amulet II. Yes, I really want to continue it because I like the first film quite a bit and I like the characters, and I still have some interest in developing the world. But I really, REALLY don't like how the second film is coming out right now. I don't like writing films where I know the final product isn't gonna be as good as I hoped. I have a lot of plans going ahead, and it feels like sticking to this one part franchise and saying to myself "welp, I gotta get this over with" is kinda grueling. I think if I'm releasing it this trimester it'll be a pretty heavily truncated version, not the 11k+ behemoth the original was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm starting up on my three-hour animated epic (if Spaghetti puts his steampunk musical on December 18th I'll grab an early November spot) but I'm doing something else in the meantime to get my writing going. Look out for something, ahem, a bit unexpected in the next few days. No it's not Scrooge McDuck 2, it's too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about as long as the first Hunger Games book..... I have slashed it down to 30,000 words currently. It will probably end up with 13k-15k words. It has a lot of dialogue, which makes editing very difficult. I am hoping the story doesn't get completely f'd up. FYI just because this film has a long word count doesn't mean it is Oscar bait...frankly if this film gets positive reactions I'll be surprised.

Personally I don't think this is an Oscar film. The writing is good (at least when it was 91K long ) but I don't think you guys are gonna eat up the plot. I am keeping the plot under wraps but CAYOM has never seen a film like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Honestly think if I ever return it'll be to write a final Chuck and Liam movie and that's it. My creative pursuits have been taken up by more "actual scripts" stuff. That said, I've been toying with adapting Lucid into a TV pilot or writing a full script for Shiverin' Gulch so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
