In short: Youtube's not sustainable for general animation anymore. It was already a very rough environment, but it's gradually been getting harder and harder to keep up to the point where, even for an established channel such as our own, it's just not possible.

We used to be able to barely keep up, but it's gotten to be outright impossible.

Maybe there'll still be the random project by us here and there, but animating full time (for Youtube anyway) is too much of a risk to keep doing. Maybe Youtube will change, or maybe a new avenue will open up. (Here's hoping that Vidme does well https://vid.me/SFS_Animation)

We're eternally grateful to all of you who've stuck with us through the years, and we feel you guys are hurt by this just as much as we are. We hope we'll see you guys around, and and maybe that one day we'll be able to return to doing animation full time.

Seeya around.
