Sodor Crystalized Chapter 1 will be getting something REALLY soon.
          
          Why mention Chapter 1? The story already has 5 Chapters now, next would be Chapter 6 (the big one where everything falls apart for the engines on Sodor). 
          
          Well there's a thing called adapting stories. I'm sure I mentioned the Crystalized adaptation (more often on my YT channel), well I've made decent editing progress on it (I've got about 6 minutes of it done, and I've still got a bit to do) and hopefully it'll be done really soon.
          
          Don't worry about All Stars, I promise I'm working on that too. Hit the 1k word mark on Chucklesome Trucks so far. I'll have to work on an outline for Gordon  and Rebecca Coming Through as of the rewritten stories, it's the only one I haven't made an outline for yet.

What do you mean within the span of a day I would manage to edit together 9 minutes worth of video?

Oh god a trailer for Angry Birds 3 is out and man am I NOT excited. It looks like it’s going to make Movie 2’s mistakes, and I hated Movie 2 as well.
          
          The only bit I found funny was the soda bit at the end, otherwise this movie is just not Angry Birds and it’s gonna suck.

@Xylem3Keys That would honestly just make it seem like the drama is continuing in my opinion

@DuckAndAmyFan5741 Alright now that everything is deleted, I would want to apologize for lashing out at you again recently. I really fucked up. I really shouldn't have. I took down my response here as well. I would really thank you for apologizing to me for the face N word accusation. So now that was resolved. I think it really time for us to not see each other again. Not in a hateful way. But to make sure this never happens again.

I also have one more question about your sprite characters. So when you edited your sprites, on ibisPaint, how did you made the sprites look not blurry? I tried to make my own Sodor AU sprites, the same sprites that you got them from deviantart, but they look a little blurry when I zoom in.

IsleofPigsStudios

For the old sprites, I just sized specific ones up when I was done.
            
            But for both sprites, no matter old or new, I made sure to turn the “Display when zoomed” option to Pixilated, as these are sprites. When they were done, as I stated earlier, I’d upsize them around 300% twice to ensure they looked nice, big, and clean

Hello, i want to ask you something: So about a month ago, I’ve seen your Sodor Crystalized character sprites and they all look very good. How did you get Thomas and friends sprite front views and edified them for your Sodor Crystalized?

IsleofPigsStudios

@JamesXMollyStudFan12 I linked where I got the original sprites from on the Crystalized Wiki page (specifically the gallery). I used IbisPaint to edit the sprites

Honestly, I’ve been contemplating replacing the Roblox edits in both All Stars and Crystalized with Model/CGI Thomas edits. Not sure if I’ll follow through with it, it’s just an idea.

SuePodgorski

@IsleofPigsStudios If you really think it's best for you to replace the edit's then, then I support it.
            
            I did say before that the images looked a little flat, but I think I've actually gotten used to looking at it and it actually looks pretty good.

Roblox has done spotty stuff for a good long while. Even before the latest update. I mean, they banned someone who was trying to fight against predators for crying out loud. That’s not a good thing. 
            
            Again, I’m still unsure whether I should change the edits or not, but Roblox’s CEO being evil is a major reason why I’d want to make new edits

@IsleofPigsStudios Let me guess, it's because of the latest bad thing Roblox has done(the latest update).
            
            NGL as I feel like they should stay the same, I'm also interested to see how the edits would look.

Ok. I think I found a problem with the alternating thing. A big one.
          
          And that's motivation.
          
          Yes, alternating between All Stars and Crystalized means that neither one could get left behind. But at the same time, if I put one on hold to work on the other, and I don't have the motivation to work on the one I haven't put on hold, then both suffer. There was a 6 month gap between Forever and Ever and Confusion Without Delay. Crystalized suffered the same thing with a 6 month gap between Far From Home and Twisted Whispers.
          
          Of course another issue is time and the fact that now I write my stories on my laptop rather than my phone, which is convenient for having a place to keep my stories on, but not so much writing them, as I can't really take my laptop everywhere. Not everyday.  
          
          So yea, that's why things have slowed down for All Stars and Crystalized. I'll try to pick up the pace (I'm already at around 900 words for Chucklesome Trucks BTW and I haven't even gotten to Rebecca taking the trucks yet), but I may not be consistent with anything (saying that even though I never had consistency in the first place), so it may be a bit. Hopefully I'll get Chucklesome Trucks done around July, but no promises.

SuePodgorski

@IsleofPigsStudios It's okay, sometimes I don't feel motivated to write my stories, which can suck. But hopefully you'll get your motivation back and keep of going.

Kinda hate how both my Dark Realm and Old Crystalized rants have more reads than Sudrian All Stars Rebecca the New Engine.
          EACH mind you. 
          
          Do you guys only care about the AU stuff?

IsleofPigsStudios

@JackTheExK2 Fair point. Lack of motivation SUUUUUUUCKs. Plus it's only two stories so far and I've been doing the alternating thing, which on paper is good for ensuring neither get left behind, but at the same time lack of motivation could mean both could suffer as a result

Just an FYI, I've cancelled and deleted my second Sodor AU: Murdoch & The Takeover Of AI. I'm no longer going to make a remastered version of it. I even deleted Murdoch & The Takeover Of AI infobox on it's page. So, you can find Murdoch & The Takeover Of AI and delete the empty page.

Hi, I need your help. So, I changed my The Island Of Thomas/Mothas Corrupted EXE title name on my page to The Island Of Thomas/Mothas Corrupted Virus EXE. I tried to change the name, but I couldn’t. So, do you know how I can change the name that’s on the top of my The Island Of Thomas/Mothas Corrupted EXE page?
