Late, but Happy New Year Everyone! Here's some plans for 2026:
Sudrian All Stars Rebecca Story 2: Progress is being made on it, if all goes well it should be done by the end of the month.
Crystalized Chapter 5: Will begin development once the All Stars Story has wrapped up. Remember my plan. alternating between All Stars and Crystalized.
That's about it really. For now at least. Happy New Year
Hi I have a question what makes an au good? because I want to try and make some Sodor au stories
@John6840 Time, Effort, a good understanding of the characters, patience, and trying to make things make sense. Really what makes a good AU is down to knowing what makes a good story. Setting up something to pay it off later, giving characters an arc. That's what makes a good AU or a good story. Don't just throw blood death or jumpscares in for the sake of it. Originality helps a ton too. There's too many AUs that have to do with wars (especially with Germany) even though they don't make any sense once you think about it for more than a second. TLDR: You need to put some time, effort and thought into writing something. Don't just rush stuff out for the sake of it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
And we got images of the new Motorized Engines too.
Nia and James feel stretched out.
Thomas and Percy don't look too bad TBH.
Magnet couplings? Buttons instead of switches? Bogies? This is certainly interesting.
@IsleofPigsStudios, To be honest, I kinda dislike the idea of Trackmaster trains having magnet couplings. What's the point of that?
Those new Die Casts look... interesting
@Xylem3Keys Not the first time they tried to give Annie and Clarabel grey faces, except this time it might be coming to fruition.
@IsleofPigsStudios Henry looks pretty good and better than Gordon but I just don't get why their nose bridges were curved outwards. Why did they gave Annie/Clarabel a grey face? I guess same reasoning for AEG Harold. Make kids see the faces better but ironically they can perfectly see Annie and Clarabel's face in the TVS, CGI, and AEG. lmao
@IsleofPigsStudios Fair enough. And in truth, I am more concerned about the new 2026 project itself rather than the merchandise. I'm intrigued to see what it is.
New Video for Sudrian All Stars: Rebecca the New Engine. I do plan on adapting some of the stories from Sudrian All Stars, starting with the Rebecca saga. It's so much easier to adapt than Crystalized is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptUuNuyG21o
I wish anyone who spoils FNaF 2 a very pleasant "Fuck You"
@IsleofPigsStudios SPOILER ALERT! the toy animatronics are in the movie. CRAZY!!! AM I RIGHT??? *sarcasm*
No, Stepney and Flying Scotsman will not appear in Sodor Crystalized.
Something that bugs me about most AUs is the use of real world engines, especially if they die. Like, the engines still exist in the real world, so why kill them off like Stepney in Cold Wars or Left for Dead? That's always bugged me.
Yes, there was a scrapped version of Crystalized that had Scotsman appear, but even then he was never planned to die.
Besides, given when Sodor Crystalized takes place, Scotsman's doing rail tours or is at the NRM, and Stepney's on static display at the Bluebell, so it's not likely that they'll be able to make it to Sodor, especially given that Sodor Crystalized takes place during 2020.
The only way they'll appear is either through flashbacks, or seeing Scotsman at Vicarstown visiting. But that's it, and Scotsman won't even be on Sodor when shit hits the fan.
@Xylem3Keys Don’t remind me. I remember when that happened. Good riddance, that’s what I say.
@IsleofPigsStudios and yeah I was referring to SodorFalloutStudios. I have a screenshot of it before he deleted the video. Bitch didn't even said "sorry" after he was called out. Glad this bitch is gone for good.
@Xylem3Keys THAT WOULD BE EVEN WORSE! Not only does it fuck with the timeline since Awdry was an actual person, but again, WILBERT CREATED THE DAMN FRANCHISE! Don't drag him into shit ass AUs.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
If there’s any Christmas song that I would delete from history, it’s easily “All I Want for Christmas is You”
Seriously I can’t stand that song, it’s EVERYWHERE as soon as Halloween ends. It’s inescapable and I hate it so much
@IsleofPigsStudios all I want for Christmasssss… is… a new Thomas wooden railway settttttttttt!!! >:]
@IsleofPigsStudios I stress that's not because of the jar. We like the jar. We hate the song itself, it is horrible.
@IsleofPigsStudios My headteacher made a "Mariah Carey jar". If anyone plays or brings up that godawful song, or if it plays as an ad, he puts money in the jar and it goes toward class parties and events. Nobody at my school likes that song.
