NEON JUNK CITY HAS BEEN ANNOUCED!
This is one of the games I've been working on! Neon Junk City is a cyper-punk point-and-click game about a female android trying to figure out a murder mystery! It's an artistically strong game that oozes style.
It's currently doing some crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Please check out the game on their Kickstarter and if you like what you see, please consider helping out the game by donating towards getting it made!

There have been a few requests for the original music used in my videos to get full versions. I've talked to Max the sound guy who has a hand on almost every video I create. And I will be uploading in the near future the Valley of Funk aka the Bowser World theme, and The Power Chiptune cover used for the 93' Movie SNES video. People have been looking for full versions in the comments, and when we can we try to use original or covers instead of the direct source.
We'll need time for Max to make extended tracks and for me to make decent visualizers. I hope this does two things, one get the music to people who would enjoy it separated from the cartoons, and also help boost watch time as people listen to these tracks.
I'll also be uploading later a Lo-FI Beat track made by Max as well, with visuals made by me. They're very cute, somewhere between SMB2 and Yoshi's Island, with a lil Kiki's delivery service for good measure.
Also later today a new Megaman short!
I currently have two shorts in the oven, one is Bowser World 1-3, which will be a lil longer than 1-1 and 1-2. I'm going to release the Cold Open as a preview (and to keep that steady stream of content going for you all.) And the second is a Pokemon-focused short!
Thank you all for supporting and watching my content. I know I'm not the most regular uploader, but what one-person animation channel is? Know what I'm saying.
Lastly, what 8bit-oriented shorts would you like to see? I want to add a few more easier-to-animate shorts into the pipeline.

Hey Fam!
I took last week off from Freelance and focused on making content for you all We've got two COMPLETED shorts, and a third mid-way production short. What's to come?
1. BI Bi Bowser, not originally a Super Bowser World, but realized mid-way through it worked as a second episode and I ran with it. It's a short about Super Bowser World coming out as bisexual and Kamek's reaction to the news. Zane and Michael both voiced this short free of charge due to me losing my source of income in Feb. They nailed it and I cannot sing their praises enough.
2. Mega-Musk, this is the first short to not feature Zane (and also have voice acting not by TTS) and it's the first short on the channel not written by me directly. I had my hands in the writing but long-time collaborator David Hurley, known at the Spriters Resource as Tonberry2k wrote this short. It features Chase Beck as both Megaman and Elon and it's really humorous. I'm pretty proud of the visuals on this one. Because it was 8-bit and animation took significantly less time, I put more effort into improving the in-game animations like running and jumping.
3. Friendly Floyd Commercial / Super Bowser World 1-3. Originally intended to be 1-2 of Bowser World, I decided to push it back for Bi Bi Bowser. Partially because Bi BI Bowser NEEDED to come out this month for Pride. Many know I had this short done up to about midway through last year before I had to go on an almost year-long hiatus from making videos. Previously I was too busy managing my job, but now I'm struggling with freelance since the job let me go. But to keep this channel from dying I've been doing shorts more regularly (Style Swaps, Obscure Mario Character quizzes.)
Not a bad week. I've considered doing pixelated watch me draws, and doing more long-form talky videos as well. I just gotta figure out what I want my focus to be.
Also if you ever want to support the channel We have a patreon!

Updates!
🎬NEXT CARTOON: CHUCKY'S KILLER TOY STORY🎬
Chucky's Killer Toy Story has finished visual post-production and is now waiting for our Sound Engineer, @MaxRepka (Toonocracy, Rocket League, Transformers: Cyberverse, Yo Mama) to do sound design on the new cut. I don't want to jinx it, but the goal is for April 1st release date. The final runtime cut of the short is 3:32 seconds, which is a lot more than than Animeme's cut at 2:40.
I will be releasing a Censored Version on Youtube and an Uncensored version on Newgrounds. (I might do an unlisted uncensored version for Youtube but we'll see.) The uncensored version will have a slightly different opening.
🌟CARTOONS IN PRODUCTION🌟
🎬MEGAMAN vs. Musk (Tentative Title)🎬
Written by David Hurley (uncredited story editor for stuff like Super Bowser World) wrote a script based off a prompt I gave him and it's pretty great! I'm excited to announce that @The_Chase_Beck will be voicing both Megaman AND Elon Music the cartoon. I'm really excited to work with both David and Chase!
🎬MARIO & LUIGI🎬
Written by myself, it's a sequel to Mario & Yoshi, but this time explore the dynamic between Luigi and Mario instead of Yoshi's relationship to Mario. Its going to also be Text-To-Speech because I find it pretty funny.
🎬SUPER MARIO LAND (Tentative Title)🎬
Written by me, I have yet to start production-production on this one. But I'm finally introducing Tatanga and Daisy into the mix!
🎬SUPER BOWSER WORLD 1-2🎬
Okay here's the thing... Bowser World out of all my content takes the most time, or atleast I like to put the most love and care into it. The problem is with my channel being unmonetizable due to not having enough views I can't justify putting the time into yet ATM. But it's been written, and the voice recordings have been recorded and paid for. Even some animation has been started! But... at this point in time it would be more beneficial for me to focus on short one offs with varies levels of effort to help group the channel's brand and get it closer to monetization.
However...
🌟PATREON🌟
I launched a Pumpkin Dragon Patreon last week, 21 one of you kind souls are currently donating $100 to help me stay a float and to support the channel. This is amazing! Every dollar helps. Does it pay rent no? But it does cover at least my Adobe subscription!
I'll make Super Bowser World a Patreon goal. If I can get to $750 a month of support from the platform, I will switch gears and make Super Bowser World 2 immediately. $750 doesn't cover my bills, but it does take care of my half of rent.
If you would like to support the channel - www.patreon.com/pumpkindragon
You get ALL patreon rewards regardless if it's a $1 or $20. I know that doesn't incentivize people into donating more, but I'm a firm believer that someone shouldn't get rewarded if they can only donate a dollar.
🌟DISCORD🌟
AND we have a Discord community.
discord.gg/b9SbDvKABJ
Currently 80 members strong, and is fairly active for it's size. On Tuesday and Thursdays I often do work-a-long voice chat streams. I want this to not be a place to celebrate me or my work, but a place where people can be empowered to be themselves or to be an artist. I have some custom emojis and the discord is still being built based off it's community feedback.
🌟FAN FRIDAY🌟
On Twitter (@/pumpkindragonHQ) I will be posting fan art of either the Pumpkin Dragon mascot or art related to my cartoons! I'm currently accepting submissions via Discord server, but I will set up an email once I get caught up with my laundry list of stuff I have to do.
Thank you all for watching and supporting!

Hello Pumpkin Dagon followers! I would like to announce that I have a Patreon, Ko-fi-, and Tip Jar if you would like to support the channel or myself the artist. I was let go of my job of 12 years and financial in a bad spot, so it would mean the world if you can spare some money to support high quality pixel animations!
Hell, if I get enough so that I can cover rent, I'll start working on Super Bowser World 2 immediately. The Patreon will have behind the scenes, scripts early, an eventual voting system on what shorts I work on etc.
Even if you can't support the channel or me finically but want to help, sharing the videos across the web on places like Reddit would really help me find my audience. Or just continue watching you don't owe me anything hah!

Should I consider a Patreon or Tip jar?

Would you like to potentially cameo or be part of one of my videoes? I'm currently requesting people to respond as if The Duck Hunt Dog just got canceled on Twitter. The goal is to make a Duck Hunt dog video where he addresses his sins.

Tweets in that Twitter thread might make it in the video!
