Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you all an update on the state of my pivoting. As you know, I've been basically dead on YouTube for over 2 years. But recently, after watching old series like Primeval, Walking with Dinosaurs and Jurassic Fight Club, I'm starting to get inspired again...
I think I might start PDFC again.
Now I can't promise that I will start it, or if I start it I can't promise I'll finish it, because Pivot is very frustrating and time consuming for me (I'm a perfectionist). But I might give it a go.
Now, here's the deal: although I'm slightly motivated, I have no ideas for it. This is where I need advice. If I do this again I want to do it right.
I need some suggestions and ideas about how I could run this new series, to make it new and refreshing without boring me to death. I
need ideas on how to make the series more entertaining, and what features you guys would like to see in fights.
What dinosaurs should I include?
What other creatures should I do spin-off competitions for?
I need ideas for all these things. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
I also need some help for the new series. I have nothing; no sticks, no sounds, no programs, no nothing.
I'm going to need some help collecting + creating new sounds for use in the series, and also creating new sticks for creatures to be used in the series.
I also may need some help editing and sounding the animations, and making thumbnails.
Of course, you don't have to do any of this, but it would help immensely. I want you all to be a part of this.
I just want to reiterate that this may not happen, and I can't make any promises. That being said, I'm willing to have a try.
Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it.

EDIT #1: Hey guys. It seems a lot of you want some more diversification in the roster list. So I had an idea to make sure we get some diversity without leaving out old favourites.
What I'm thinking is that I'll create a list of 32 dinosaurs / creatures for each tournament and you guys can vote in your favourites. I'll explain how this works.
A list of 32 Jurassic dinosaurs is made. The public vote for their top 16. These 16 get into groups. Same for cretaceous.
A list of 16 Sea Monsters is made. The public vote for their top 8. These 8 get into groups. Same for any other spin-offs.
I'm also working on remaking the format of the competition. Tell me what you think!

EDIT #2: Alright guys, the creature polls are up. Sea Monsters and Monsters divisions won, just edging out over Air Monsters. Sorry Pterosaur fans. See the other stickied threads in General Talk and vote!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDIT #3: The polls were a huge success! The final roster is here. Now begins the process of getting stks and sounds for each one of these creatures. If any of you could possibly assist in this process, I would be so grateful. You guys have been amazing so far. Hopefully the first episode of PDFC will be up by sometime in October!
Also, a new poll has been added. Please vote for your opinion!

EDIT #4: Alright, there is an insane amount of creatures that need to be made into stks. Obviously I'm going to be working on some of them myself, but I'd be so grateful if you guys could help out If you want to send some stks to me, or if you want to have a try at creating some stks for the creatures I need, I'll leave the list below. I'll do the same for sounds. Remember; you don't have to help. You guys are already amazing enough.
List of stks to make:
1. Woolly Mammoth (Possibly In Construction)
2. Brontoscorpio (Possibly In Construction)
Thanks so much guys!

EDIT #5: The sounds are completed! I just need to edit them with Audacity now. Thanks heaps guys! Now for the harder part; stks. Again, any help is appreciated so much. I've already had some awesome submissions.

EDIT #6: Well, thanks to you guys and you guys alone, all of the Dinosaur stks are completed. This is so amazing and now I can make Meet the Fighters and start PDFC I couldn't have done this without you guys, thank you so much! I want to do something for you all to thank you but I don't know what, any ideas? What do you guys want?

EDIT #7: PDFC is out! Could not have done this without every single one of you so thanks so much! Enjoy round 1 guys.
