Hey everyone. I've got a lot of important stuff to talk about:
Rebranding:
The frog has croaked. I'm considering changing my username all applicable platforms. This is something I've been wanting to do for months, but I was uncertain on what to actually do.
My new username will either be Crimson-CS, CrimsonKero, or just Crimson (unlikely given the account's already taken), but I cannot decide which one to choose.
As a sidenote, I will still retain "Anonymous Frog" as a character, a series I may or may not bring back from the dead, and as part of my A+B music project, but it does not reflect my core identity anymore.
I may also need to move that name, as well as multiple projects, to another account.
I'd like your thoughts on the matter.
Current Near-Complete Projects:
I have three major projects that are almost complete and I'd like to get finished very soon.
Power Star Reanimated (the trilogy, the definititve edition):
This collab aims to recreate the original Power Star flashes by Daniel Sun, from the ground up, with over a dozen animators, re-recorded voice lines, and an original soundtrack composed by both me and @SnVplayer, to replace all the copyrighted ones we can't post here anymore.
I posted both my 2024 scenes to Newgrounds
(thanks for the daily 5th)
The full collab should be released by @Fyar on Newgrounds and YouTube. The soundtrack, as well as a collection of unfinished scenes, will also be posted to YouTube.
Beep Block Bunch
An audio collab that I hosted during the last months of 2024. It has been pushed back to February, should be out in a few days after I finish an animated banner for it.
BTW, that bird comes from an animation I did in 2022. I like simple blobby things, especially those about as simple to draw as Kirby.

Dipthong 3.
A 30 track album that's almost complete, but two tracks are giving me a lot of trouble and this forced me to miss yet another deadline.
Although I completed the instrumental to Parasocial early in production, I haven't been able to write any lyrics for it. OverParty, to a lesser extent, has this same issue.
Currently aiming for a February 2025 release, which I will get to after I finish Beep Block Bunch.
Bigger Upcoming Projects
My full plans for 2025 and the coming years are to get two original IPs off the ground.
Comic
I'm making a one-shot comic so I can submit it to @DannyGoodShirt's NG Jump contest. This will be my most immediate project moving forward.
If I can't make the April 1st deadline, I will consider expanding the comic past 15 pages.
Project Mystopia
I'm making a video game.
I've had plans for a big sci-fi video game as far back to 2021, even composing a theme song for it, but I didn't get much done aside from music and graphic assets, and even those are flimsy, so I have nothing to show for it.
But as of now, I've officially rebooted Project Mystopia. So far, I can't say much about it now but I will update you in the future (as in, after April, after I finish the comic).
That's all.
