    We need to have a difficult conversation about Glitch Productions...well, difficult if you're a hater! As to be expected, the more Glitch grows as a studio, the more pessimistic people seem to be about it. But like it or not, they're putting in the MOST work to fix animation's reputation in the mainstream with their shows like The Amazing Digital Circus, Knights of Guinevere, The Gaslight District, their partnership with Lackadaisy and the upcoming pilot GAMEOVERSE! Let's talk about it!

    They literally said they are focusing on finishing digital circus first. They have a timeline. The word of the day is "patience"

    • @JenyaFio
      @JenyaFio 2 months ago +83

      Impatience is a sin, and should be treated as such. Time is only important when something is scheduled to happen at a certain point of it, and yet some people use it as an excuse for acting in abhorrent ways.

    • @KemoniAnimations
      @KemoniAnimations 7 days ago +1

      @JenyaFio I agree with what you're saying, but the random religious stuff with "impatience is a sin and it should be treated as such" is pretty annoying considering not everyone believes in "sin."

    • @JenyaFio
      @JenyaFio 7 days ago +1

      ​@KemoniAnimations Except what I'm trying to say has nothing to do with religion in any way.

    • @JenyaFio

      ​@KemoniAnimations If you think the word "sin" is purely religious and can't be used in unrelated contexts, then you clearly aren't more intelligent than people who refuse to accept scientific facts due to unwavering beliefs in such texts.

      While it's true and I don't think Glitch is evil, in the webcomic scene, there's two examples of Glitch-like companies that were originally thought to be great but were secretly evil and imploded in controversy. Recently, the web comic collective HiveWorks, a company that was "for arts by artists" and once had some of the biggest names in the scene was revealed to be horrible to work with and everyone kept quiet for years out of fear. Previously, there was 4 Dimension Entertainment, the publisher that originally published Lackadaisy plus big titles like the Meek; the owners were literally unstable and caused one artist to drop off the face of the earth, abandoning their series with any former artist fearful to talk about it because they don't want the owners to harass them.
      Again, not saying that Glitch is like that but when it comes to the indie creation scene, there's a history of a company positioning themselves as the best case to help small creators, get all the big names just to slowly have cracks form in the background.

      @harmonetheanimationaddict4419 2 months ago +109

      Closest to “evil” you can get with them is apparently years back, there were stories of one of the brothers treating the staff badly, but to Glitch’s credit, they did apologize and it seems like things have been good with management ever since.

      Envy is a terrible sin..
      It's becoming all too common in the era of social media, yet there are those who are successful or popular by just being humble and themselves.
      Those who are humble last longer than those overly prideful and envious.
      Being humble is not the same as being sloth, being humble is the balance between pride and sloth.

  • @SuperDestroyerFox
    @SuperDestroyerFox 2 months ago +4560

    When it comes to “They’re only making pilots not full shows” yeah, that’s what a pilot is. They make many and they greenlight a few.
    Glitch just so happens to keep getting bangers that are greenlight-able

    • @ChiknButter
      @ChiknButter 2 months ago +338

    • @Max-iq8hi
      @Max-iq8hi 2 months ago +155

      They're not just making pilots. They DO continue their series! We just need to wait for some updates! Murder Drones and TADC got to make new episodes for example. We just need to wait patiently for next episodes of KOG, TGD, and Gameoverse

    • @damonlam9145
      @damonlam9145 2 months ago +55

    • @DToonz343
      @DToonz343 2 months ago +268

    Kinda crazy people are this worried about KOG not getting picked up.
    Sweetheart, they spent the last year building up a 2-D animation team and they’re selling merch for the show at hot topic. It’s gonna happen

    • @BlueSoulGamer
      @BlueSoulGamer 2 months ago +13

      I don’t doubt it will be picked up, though I understand the concern.
      It was a small bit overhyped imo, like how 99% of the episode’s world building was dedicated to bashing Disney rather than developing the plot/lore, or how the action scenes were cut unnecessarily short. Don’t get me wrong, I love bashing Disney as much as the next guy, but story-wise it can’t be the only thing you focus on. And the action was the other main selling point for me, only for them to quickly move on or talk it out, or end it completely offscreen. The pilot definitely has its flaws.

    • @Hey_SVO
      @Hey_SVO 2 months ago +11

      @BlueSoulGamer I’m more so talking about the success of the pilot overall and how people believe the despite the pilot getting 14 million views it’s considered a bomb. I’m sure there’s some valid concerns with the pilot but you can’t deny that it has garnered a massive fan base mostly thanks to the talent attached to it. Regardless of any issues with the writing, there is still a huge group of people that wants to see more.

    • @Imperial-Moth
      @Imperial-Moth 2 months ago +15

    "is glitch still considered indie?" Yes. They release episodes once in a blue moon. Amazing digital circus is only planned to be like 9 episodes. Knights of Gwenevere and that one zombie show have developed massive fanbases despite only having 1 pilot each.

    • @anotagoodname
      @anotagoodname 2 months ago +89

      People don't talk about it but Gltich straight up sacrificed making multi season shows like Meta runner every new show does not have a season 1 label. I think there was probably a point where Murder Drones was a multi season show but they are clearly moving towards more variety over multi season shows for their successes.

    • @marlom7882
      @marlom7882 2 months ago +8

      @anotagoodname 2 months ago +24

      @jaw5956 I agree especially in Murder Drones case there was serious harm done to the Shows pacing to fit it into 8 episodes, I don't think it was something forced by Glitch but I feel they only really only take shows that are intended to be 1 season long since they are afraid of a multi season show being unprofitable like Meta Runner even though some of their shows would work better with more episodes and seasons.

    • @Tenebrio-Morio
      @Tenebrio-Morio 2 months ago +35

      ​@marlom7882 the pacing of the ending is more a Liam Vickers thing, it's not something Glitch forced.
      TADC got a ninth episode because the final episode got too big, it wasn't outright favoritism or Glitch forcing Gooseworx to write one more because of its popularity. (Although its popularity did ensure it was something they could afford to do.)

      @sunfeatherX3 2 months ago +307

      Plus, it’s not such a cut and dry story! The merch itself isn’t villainised. The people like Frankie who still love the IP aren’t villainised. What IS villainised is the idea of growth without goal OR loving consumer base. Most of the merch gets recycled or into the ocean. It’s not like glitch is making so much merch people are drowning in it 😢

    I've never liked it when people hate on studios or creators because they get funded by large companies and called sellouts, because so many people don't know what that means, especially because of the double standard people have with it all, because when they fund and make their own projects, they get told that they're "too slow in production," and people drop off and don't continue funding it. On the flip side, if they get the funding that they need and are allowed to stream what they make to large companies (even if they're allowed to do their own things), they're called sellouts and losers and people still hate on them. I love indie art (though there's some that ain't for me) and even if they get a contract to make their stuff come out on bigger channels, they're still doing their best to remain with their original visions and stories. Glitch is still indie for sure

    • @thegiftedfire3470

  • @1.21jiggawatts2
    @1.21jiggawatts2 2 months ago +316

    I think the only problem Glitch has is the inevitability that one of their pilots is going to “fail”. Pilots aren’t just episode 1 for a new series. They are a test to see how people react to a new series to see if it has potential to be turned into a real show. While all their pilots have been awesome, there is eventually going to be one that just doesn’t land.
    While for a normal studio, a failed pilot is extremely common, but for Glitch it’s going to cause a lot of drama. Even if the show failed, there is a going to be a following of people who loved the show and bought the merch. There’s going to be cross promotion with their other shows such as their merch events and small references in the other shows. So it’s going to cause a lot of backlash when a pilot gets canceled because it just didn’t do well enough (or maybe some issue with the creator).
    And then that’s going to have ripple effects for their future pilots. People are going to be hesitant about buying merch since “What if this show also gets canceled?” They might not want to get really invested in the production since “The last time I got invested, it was all for nothing since the show was canceled.”
    You see what I’m trying to say? It’s something that Glitch is eventually going to have to deal with and I really hope they can successfully handle that storm

      I would not consider FNAF to be Indie Scott oversees stuff but most of the content the books and movies are done by big corporations while the games are done by a stable AA studio I can see it being the same category as Glitch when Scott was still making the games directly but it is not Indie now.

      @CallMeDraga 2 months ago +19

      I understand what you're saying, but what you need to remember is that there's a difference between "owned" and "licensed." Sometimes a studio/IP may be owned by certain companies, but the license to show it may fall on another company (example, Vivzie owning the rights to HH and HB, but the production license is with Amazon) so rights to publish may study with the big companies but the animation studio still owns the IP, so they still have the ability to take time between everything instead of steamrolling through the whole process.

      Projects are barely getting greenlit and when they are it’s reboots or sequels and even then there is barely enough to pass around to employ people. Major studios are giving up on serialized originals and even episodic 6-11 comedy as they don’t know how to get the kids to watch their streaming services over RUclips(this is why indie animation is thriving). Many studios are cutting back on internal development for shows in favor of licensing foreign or indie shows. CN is essentially merged into WB animation and doing a small handful of ip based shows. Nick was killed off by the skydance merger and recently had several shows canned including a Garfield project because skydance wants to buy Warner. Dtva is only greenlighting nostalgic reboots aimed at parents and adults. A lot of the studios are giving up on making 6-11 and 8-14 shows in favor of outsourced preschool shows and a handful of reboots targeting millennial parents and childless adults.

  • @freewritingseer
    @freewritingseer 2 months ago +153

    My husband shared a similar sentiment, 'why release so many pilots but no more episodes for the series they already have?' and my answer was, 'animation takes a long time.' and I imagine that glitch isn't overworking their team unlike some corpos do - and now understanding that pilots are just that, /pilots/, concepts for /potential/ shows that aren't guaranteed to be greenlit, that sets more realistic expectations. While I have no doubt glitch will be moving forward with all the shows they have pilots for, it's understanding that - like for example, the Homestuck pilot - doesn't mean the project's future is secured. and that's what's so healthy about glitch's cycle, having merch available alongside said pilot, it establishes funds for the show before it's even started production, which serves to boost the quality of the finished show.
    Would I like things to come out earlier? Of course, I'm only human. But I understand how long animation takes, and if we want a good result, we have to be patient.

    My only, ONLY gripe with Glitch is that I'm getting tired of the "nostalgic childhood themes turned freaking twisted" gimmick: first with Digital Circus, then Knights of Guinevere, and now Gameoverse. I genuinely think they are the future of animation, given how chummy the industry is getting with AI, but they really need to start diversifying the type of stories they tell, instead of becoming a one-trick pony.
    It's why, out of all their pilots, Gaslight District is my favorite- it doesn't try to hide its darkness with a friendly veneer, and the actual twist is that the scary-looking protagonists are actually good people.

    2D animated shows are a lot harder and more time consuming to make than a 3D show. 3D shows have the benefit of being able to reuse assets - you don't have to redraw a character or background element for every frame/shot, you just need to reposition the existing models within the 3D environment that you likely already built early in development. Lets keep in mind that Knights of Guinevere and Gameoverse are two of Glitch's first 2D animated shows, so we shouldn't set the same kind of expectations in terms of release that we did for their previously 3D-only catalogue.
    I don't doubt that Guinevere is going to be greenlit, and likely already has - they just don't want to announce anything until they have more to show about its future, similar to what they did for Digital Circus and Gaslight District.

      The Gaslight District was created by a person who wasn't well-known before the pilot's release, so it's definitely not some popularity contest like you perceived. If you want Glitch to help you, you can reach out to them, but considering how they're already working on so much projects, there isn't a huge guarantee you'll get accepted just yet.

    Animation takes time rushing it will come out like slop rather than a masterpiece give glitch and the many animators time to reveal their works of art

    It's an odd to define category for when something stops being indie without a network deal. Like game freak who makes Pokemon had a smaller staff than glitch, nobody considers them a small indie studio aside from themselves.

    2:53 that was NOT the wind bro. Also, people need to understand that in the end, Glitch is a studio that actually cares about its employees and communities, it's us who keep them afloat with our views, us buying merch and us even spreading the news about the studio. People on the internet will fight about anything, it doesn't matter wether or not they are indie anymore, what matters is that they are providing us with content which we enjoy, and they are providing directors and animators an opportunity to work alongside multiple talented individuals without any of he stressed that come with being an employee elsewhere cuz we know they will be one of the last studios on earth to give up on their crew
