[WIP] Sad News
Hi.
I'm pausing the bill for this January and there will be no upload this month.
Because I couldn't pull off any video this month.
Here's what happened.
At first, I thought I could finish the HMV project in time so I grinded for it, but as time went by, i've figured that it would not be done as i intended.
So I changed the project in the middle of the month, so that I could meet the schedule, the regular upload, but that didn't work out either.
I'm sorry for letting you guys down.
Here's little peek of what I've been doing. The unfinished projects.
HMV
Regular Project
For February, I'm going to upload the regular project one.
And I think the HMV will be served in March.
Again, I'm really sorry.
I feel like i ruined all of your happy new year start.
It was really hard call but I had no choice.
See you next time.

I'm begging you sir...! PLZ make some tiny impregnation scene sir...!🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
I need a ZZZ HMV from you king 🙏🏽
REAL
hey, your are all good. Sometimes things don't go as planned.
r u ok?
I’m fine. The video will be uploaded this weekend.
I absolutely love your HMVs, especially the Wakamo one, and will be excitedly counting down the days til I get to see what you cook up with Karin/Asuna. Take as much time as you need
gotta remember everyones human and got there own stuff goin on. If you need that extra time to deliver a great product cudos to you. Means you actually care. Hope you have a great new year, and that goes to all.
HMV! HMV!
If you keep working on something new, it's never sad news.
Don't sweat it. The quality of your work is always worth the wait. I respect the decision to pause billing, but personally wouldn 't have cared if there was no upload either way, because I know that when there is one it will always be peak.
Always happy to wait for peak content
A chisa vid + blue archive hmv sure is worth the wait. Just keep cooking and take the time you need to drop the usual peak content
Shit happens. Most people here are subbed for the really great quality of your work, not for the quantity. Same goes for me. Happy new year!
It's nbd, but that Chisa vid can't come soon enough. Looks great.
Croove!!! You make incredible stuff and just because you need some more time to cook up some incredible stuff doesn't mean you have failed or anything!!! You are working hard and definitely deserve my sub money even if things take longer to produce! You rock man!!!
I said I would stay subbed if there was no video upload before. I don't plan on changing that. The Arius Squad video is your top masterpiece, still very amazing to this day. If you need more time to create another eternal master work, then take all the time you need.
Always happy to see progress on HMVs. I trust you've been hard at work. Thank you for honesty in your development. Please rest and celebrate for the New Year <3
not a sad news for me! glad to have the chance to peek on some snapshot! really looking forward to your upcoming masterpieces!
I always respect your honesty. Don't worry I can wait. I hope to see your fantastic work at Feb.
December's a time for rest and relaxation. No worries from me about missing January since I know you're quality will be worth it in the end. Cheers
今までの作品をゆっくり見直して待ってますよ
You always make top notch videos, don’t even worry, it’s well worth the wait. Do your best to just enjoy the holiday and get some much needed rest!
All good, big dawg. These things take time. Please do not beat yourself up over it. Waiting is an easy game to play— continue at your own pace and don't overwhelm yourself.
Take your time! Your work is worth the wait!
It's not about speed of production, it's about quality of production. I will patiently wait for something rather than be fed something perceived subpar. In this corporate climate of meeting fiscal quarter deadlines to appease investors, and pushing out whatever and hope you still have a job after. I want you to take your time make the thing you want to make, and be satisfied with it. It will show through your work that you did what you wanted and even if people don't say it in certain terms they will come off with a feeling of quality that others aren't doing the way you went about doing it. So don't beat yourself up to much, shit happens, just be transparent and say like you did that you made an attempt and it didn't work out, but it'll just come out later when it's good and ready.
We're here for the perfection of the art, not the speed that they're created. All great things take time and I don't care much for how long it takes, so take as much time as necessary. We'll be here when it's ready.
Quality > deadline. ALWAYS.
Hey your videos are always worth the wait its no big deal! you don't have to rush
Asuna + Karin HMV?? we will be blessed So here's what I think about the monthly schedule. I'm a web developer, and of course, tech companies LOVE their AGILE and one-to-two-week sprints. From my experience, it rarely leads to increased productivity. What it does lead to is a lot more time wasted on constant meetings, and faster burnout. Tech-debt accumulates, features are delivered half-baked, and eventually you just give up and go looking for a different job. It's not sustainable. I've seen this with Kickstarters, Patreons, Early Access games, and other, similar projects. Pre-emptive optimization kills projects, and these kinds of projects are 80% pre-emptive optimization, because people want their monthly builds, that are playable start to finish, bug-free, well-balanced, well-performing. That's on top of community management and weekly dev blogs, of course. That's what I think about Patreon schedules. I get the concern, people pay monthly and so they expect to get a product for their payment. I pay 5$, I get video, repeat each month. But it leads exactly to this kind of situation. You felt obligated to deliver, didn't feel the quality would be satisfactory, pivoted to a different project in hopes of delivering SOMETHING, which also didn't work out, and now you're burnt out and angry. And this also affects us, the supporters, because we'll end up getting a lower quality product in the end. So by all means, take all the breaks you need. You don't have to deliver every month. Upload a video when you're satisfied with it, and not just because it's the 30th and you need to get a video out the door. If you won't do it out of concern for your own well-being and artistic integrity, then do it for us, so that we get something that much better than if you rushed it for a deadline.
Croove! Really, it's totally fine. Sure, it's a bummer we'll have to wait. But as the saying goes, art can't be rushed. And im sure it's safe to state for all of us that it's the effort and passion that we support. Without that, it'd just be slop. Right? Results only matter when theyre worth a damn. Thanks for keeping us in the loop about it. Your respect for your fan base is encouraging. So long as i got dough in the bank account, you'll have my support!
You got nothing to apologize for brother, things happen. Don’t let deadlines get the better of you, I rather see you in good mental health than an animation anyday so don’t push yourself. Remove the NEED from your head, you don’t NEED to meet the deadline you aint reporting to no boss, pace yourself and relax and keep it stress free.
Croove your videos are always worth the wait. I think many of us appreciate quality and understand it takes time. Also life happens so it's not your fault! We will patiently wait for the next video ( ◜‿◝ )♡
You actually do not need to get out a video every month :D For example Vicineko get new vid more or less once a year and still charges every month ;) Getting out a good video is important, not that it comes out once a month. Happy new year to you too!
No problem Croove, you do amazing work and I have no problem waiting for final products that you're satisfied with! I hope you have a great new year!
Your videos are so worth the wait. Have a great new year and I can’t wait to see what you do in 2026!
Its fine, we will be waiting. Happy new year! :D
Take your time and happy new year
Even this update is enough to fuel me for the month, the upcoming projects look very nice!
No te preocupes tomate tu tiempo, seguiremos apoyándote 👌
The HMV project looks so peak, take your time boss💪
This is not necessary, bro. I thought something had happened to you.
Peak content is always worth waiting for. Take your time and we’ll still be here.
It’s better we have a perfect finalized HMV than a rushed one. Don’t worry Croove!
What do you mean "you feel like you ruined all of our happy new year "?? You just revealed that you're making the HMV with Asuna and Karin which are two of my favorite waifus! You made my new year party even freaking better! I cant wait so see how it'll turn out! Keep up the great work! And have a happy new year!
Croove, you're being too hard on yourself. Quality takes time, and you've done nothing but quality. Take your time, you ain't let anybody down
Your Quality is impeccable, so waiting a bit, feels like a reward.
It's okay Croove. You deserve a holiday. Go have a nice one like we all do!
You ruined nothing, take your time! We will happily wait for quality content 👌🏻
Understandable
Don't beat yourself up over it. You've been delivering pretty consistently, cut yourself some slack. Have a nice new years!
Take your time, boss. Don’t burn yourself out on our sakes.
