COWCHOP/The Creatures Announcement TWITCH HIGHLIGHTS- UberHaxorNova (James) & ImmortalHD (Aleks)
Official Statement! This was on
Twitch as a formal announcement- the whole stream lasted about 1 hour 30 mins- summarised on Reddit as-
As of 4:18 PM
EST, April 28 2016, the Hub channel is tanking
James and
Aleks are no longer part of the
Creatures SHIP HAS BEEN SAILED
CowChop and TheCreatures are separate entities
They wanted to say something for a while, though the
Lets Play/RT integration made it difficult
They were planning to leave; Aleks was borderline done with TheCreatures a few months ago. Came back after
Secret Santa stuff; though, creativity and business management clashed constantly.
CowChop
DOES NOT
FIT to TheCreatures, and vice-versa, as seen by age-gated videos
CowChop compared to
Adult Swim shows
Aleks and James Duo
Streams stem the idea of CowChop
CowChop is part of LetsPlay (RT's Gaming), separate from
The Creatures.
All resources and equipment are out of THEIR EXPENSES; NO INVESTMENT FROM
Rooster Teeth NOR TheCreatures
James is the only investor for their equipment
CowChop is doing well, James hope nothing goes to waste.
Undetermined future for the channel; with only 2 weeks worth of content.
One month of layover between CowChop and the Creatures. Any past videos with them were prerecorded a few weeks ago
Intern Joe and
Aron have left The Creatures after meeting of planning out CowChop. Intern Joe sticks with James, due to him moving to
Colorado in the first place.
Aron's job was to work on the Creatures website. However, now with the RT integration, he had no job. Hence, his move to CowChop
Trevor is a freelance editor, worked some part on the Hub
James: "
It's not the interns/employees fault, it's management problems".
James and Aleks have not played a large role in the Creatures; they would have changed management, but they were not given the positions.
Creatively, they both played around Trevor's role, as seen in the VR video
Room for possible guests AFTER channel's identity and plan is determined
They will need to iron out the channel before relying on other people for ideas, and join in collabs
NO NAMES AND LABELS ON
PEOPLE (
Example: Dex on TheCreatures, with his label of being a
Creature)
NO INVOLVEMENT WITH THECREATURES FOR
PAST 2 MONTHS. PERIOD.
Takeover-like content, similar to the duo streams
The King is not coming back.
Tentative plan: James and Stefani vs
Artist Joe and
Spencer
Rocket League match
Planned for a while, during Aleks break
James wanted EVERYONE involved
Delayed for a while, then scheduled, then blocked by Stefani's schooling plan
Froze in time; no finale.
Road to E3 depended on TheCreatures plan. They will not be involved
Easter Egg Hunt did not happen due to CowChop launch
No plans for podcasts
Experimenting with the channel, doing risky plays
Staying with the office was a thought, though paying rent for three rooms would be too much and noising problems (Amount was close to double the amount of their studio)
Formulas and pricing were on calculations
Intern Joe and Aron were switching between the CowChop and theCreatures
Last interaction with
Jordan was at the
Grand Prix
If met again, they would be uncomfortable through creative visions
They are creating new stuff and okay with
Creature House nostalgia
Undetermined plans of staying, moving, who knows, maybe new state?
Collaborations could happen, who knows.
Shows announced/planned:
Amazon Stuff
Dark Side of YouTube
Imported
Games
VR Gameplay
They will be with LetsPlayLive2 and sharing new ideas
James answers as much as he cans, with justified answers, on Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, YouTube, etc.
Yesterday's video triggered this stream; they had to do stream to prevent assumptions
Stream VOD will be up, judgement videos will not be uploaded on personal channel.
They love their content on CowChop, and are now more energized and happy
They want to expand and do anything they want on either a studio, a house, or anywhere.
Motorbike videos on TheCreatures were warned by the Creatures
Office landlord and lawyer, and well as
Lush Pool
NO MORE LAWSUITS
CowChop merchandise coming soon, as well as James' Squiggly Cup, Cow will be their icon.
As long as fans watch the CowChop videos, they will keep going on new content
Aleks idea: "CowChop Tour to
Los Angeles, California"
CowChop invaded FunHaus booth
on PAX East, video coming soon
James feels weird being younger per person age under the LetsPlay (RT Gaming) umbrella.
Congrats James on 3 million subscribers
"What you see right now, is what you get
...We will plan accordingly and try to set something up specifically for them" - James
"
We are expanding on the idea of the Duo Streams from 2014"
Supercast will not be coming back; regrettable of announcing the movie
COMING SOONTM OFFICIALLY DROPPED
Phrase will now be forbidden on CowChop
May be pulled from Twitch for not having gameplay
LetsPlay/Rooster Teeth is their "basic Multichannel
Network (
MCM)"
"
I've done most of what I've set out to achieve on my own, and my only goal now is to make sure my friends are taken care of." -
