Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.

Heya, I'm Avery! 💜✨
#Patchkins are plushies who were given a second chance by having their damaged limbs replaced and secured by magic buttons!

We have 4 designs unlocked so far and we're so close to unlocking the 5th!

Left side has a photo of a person wearing a black hoodie holding Ploosh the Pastel Fox draped over their arms. To the right of that is a photo of Echo the Eldritch Cat. Next to him are two rows of digital mockups for the other unlockable plush designs. Top row, left to right: Taffy the Clown Bunny, Gizmo the Retro Alien Puppy, Remi the Neapolitan Red Panda, and Kipper the Kidcore Tiger. Bottom row, left to right: Lune the Night Sky Jackalope, Rowan the Split Puppy, Teacup the Cherry Blossom Fox, and Jolly the Pastel Cat.

My campaign features the four hyena species, plus other animals in the stretch goals!

I love to draw species within a group and highlight their specific features and differences by drawing them in a classic cartoon style.
..I just think all wild animals are cute!

The main diamond-shaped pin designs with black enamel of a spotted hyena portrait with an orange background pattern, brown hyena portrait with a blue background pattern, stripes hyena portrait with a purple background pattern, and aardwolf portrait with a yellow background pattern. To the right the same set, but with gold plating and deep blue backgrounds. Rough sketches for the full body pins of the four hyena species. First factory sample photos of the striped hyena portrait pin. Rough sketches for stretch goal ideas with diamond-shaped portraits and full body pins including: Fossas, Golden bamboo lemur, Aye-aye, Crowned lemurs, Indri, Clouded leopard, Harbor seal, Binturong, Pronghorn, Thylacine, Ringtail, Corn snake, Jackrabbit, Maned wolf
