Well guys…we’ve reached the end of an era.
For those unaware, Luke has announced that Smg4 as a series is coming to an end. The finale will be a movie on the 27th of December and after that, there will be no more Smg4 videos. Glitch will still be continuing and the Smg4 channel will be left preserved…but it still hurts.
I started watching this channel as a teenager just as the Waluigi Arc was taking off. I was there for Tari’s introduction and I never missed an upload since. This show, it’s made me realise the comedy to be found in life, gave me something to look forward to and yes…it even inspired my greatest accomplishment.
Crystal was just a dumb fan-fiction idea I had that turned into a story expecting barely 10 people to look at it. But now? 101 followers because of something I created. I’ve dreamt of being an actor my entire life and this story, it felt like something I could call my biggest accomplishment.
Which is why it pains me to say…Volume 4 might very well be the last of its kind.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not cancelling the rest of volume 4, I fully intend to deliver, but…without the original to base off and take inspiration…I don’t see how I can make full fledged stories like it going forward.
I do have ideas for the future, maybe some…future oneshots a few years down the line. Alice and Emily grown up, Crystal’s journey into adulthood, even a crossover at one point. It’s just…not how I wished it could happen. Don’t expect a Volume 5 or 6 once it’s done.
I know, it hurts to hear…but the news hit me as well. I had some concept of a 3 year plan for the series going forward, I just…never expected it to actually end. But I guess that’s the lesson here? Nothing lasts forever. It hurts, but it’s true.
So to Smg4, on the slim off chance you see this, I wanna thank you for all the work you’ve done. Your series brightened my life with laughs for so many years and you will be missed.
And to all you guys…thank you. It’s not goodbye yet, but…soon.
