August Newsletter
To get the ball rolling…
Though we’re just starting, there’s been a lot happening with regards to the creative construct that is antonymZoo Studios. Having started the planning process in May 2020, antonymZoo aspires to provide a wide variety of products and services to an eclectic community of gaming, art, and roleplay enthusiasts. Earlier this month, antonymZoo suddenly went from a “planned sole-proprietorship” to a “planned LLC.” Gaining five unique team members, antonymZoo Now has a total of creators: ACN, AmbiLati, Lebi, Dapper, Kaien, and Faelen. All of whom first met each other on the Crystal Data Center of Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV). All of us here hope you like what we create and stick around to see how antonymZoo continues to develop.
So began a nostalgicEscapade…
Starting anything online can be a long and arduous journey. With such a broad medium as the internet, we have to ask: How do you get your content noticed by the right people? And how can you stand out from others who are doing the same or similar things? For antonymZoo, it means supporting each other’s interests and ideas within the team and fostering a welcoming environment for our prospective community members. We won’t be putting our eggs in one basket, so to speak. To account for this, we’re arranging our business structure to fit our products and services into themed groups.
The nostalgicEscapade project consists of two different Twitch streams and a group roleplay that will be turned into a Webtoon comic called, Beneath a Withered Moon. We’ll post detailed updates and information on the nostalgicEscapade project and any new additions to it through the changeLog Archive on Tumblr.
