My hope is that at least it gives people some time to come up with an alternative that can ingest Flash files in a more graceful way. I know Harmony has some import scripts, but they are not very good. It'd be a GREAT time for someone to make a Flash clone that can read that mess.

The one downfall of ALL of these ipad based softwares is that none of them work in vector…. which, is really the kicker and the thing that makes none of them professionally viable. But as far as usability, I really love Calipeg. Built by animators for animators for sure.

Dreams aint anywhere NEAR a competent software even with its more recent updates. Calipeg is a much better ipad based animation software (and exports to Harmony). Toonsquid is often recommended too tho ive never personally worked in it.

People love to hate Animate, but it's capable of doing things faster and cheaper than just about any other software out there.

Harmony is a much more powerful program, but for basic tasks you use a hammer, and Animate was that hammer. As we know, Adobe hates its customers.

Not selling the rights is whats insane to me. Like if you dont want to maintain it any longer (lets be real theyve never properly maintained it), pass the torch to someone else who will?? Get some money for your trouble and let someone who cares more do something real with it.

They're afraid of becoming irrelevant and trying to keep up with new technology except they've picked the wrong thing.

HOUGH ITS SO CUUUUUTE thanks so much imma print him out for my wall when I get home :’] 🦎

Oh, if it helps, species names...

Lil Mans is a v. tristis orientalis (Freckled Monitor, subspecies of v. tristis tristis the Blackheaded Monitor)

Pesto is a phelsuma lineata (Lined Day Gecko), but she's on the dull green side and doesn't exhibit any of the red or blue colors.

THIS IS A FUN PROMPT THANKS FOR DOING THIS and no pressure ofc :']

Lil Mans is a MENACE (see: nervous wreck) who loves to be exploring and hates to be handled. Def a Ranger, but like, a desert ranger. Kids in the outback.

Pesto is a Rogue. Elusive. Tiny. Will hide. Wishes to not be perceived. You WILL give her all your gold and behold her glassy wet eyes.

high key though Im not posting art to bsky at present because it does so poorly and feels like a waste of my energy. If you wanna catch my work you gotta go to tumblr for all of it, tho I do sometimes put noteworthy things on IG. Its the way it is

This is extremely tragic but I feel the need to add that the San Gabriel Mountains' scenic roads are SO outrageously dangerous. You have to be extremely careful driving up them. The cliffs are so steep, and they're not that well guarded. Please don't make the same mistakes if you're ever up there :(

I am sorta posting on IG too but I can feel myself receding from there as well so dont be surprised if theres larger gaps there.

It’s wild because I definitely think Harmony 25 is an absolute winner - it introduced some features that I’m so excited about I’m sad my workplace isn’t using it yet. But they did say p explicitly that once you move into 25 files have to stay there… which… isn’t great, yeah.
