So guys! Dawn Somewhere has not been growing, and I've finally come to the conclusion that there aren't a lot of ethical ways for us to grow at all on Youtube. There are formulas that work on the platform, but if a person isn't doing viral videos or focusing on a third party's IP, the only way to succeed is to be somewhere else.

So to that end, we're switching tactics and moving away from Youtube and more into comics, where it appears that we can actually grow and compete by making fun and engaging works! Now, this doesn't mean the death of all Youtube content entirely, but I'll like try to devote between four to five work days to comics for now, and between two and three work days to animations. Animations won't come out as frequently, but based on how things have been going, it seems like that might barely matter in the grand scheme.

Youtube is nothing more than a hosting platform to us. We'll never grow here again if we don't grow somewhere else first. It's the unfortunate truth, and there's no way around it. However, I'm excited to work in a different medium, and I hope it'll provide an opportunity to tell a lot of the stories that have been kicking around in my head for so long!
