User blog:Notdn/I released Goofballs. AMA.

Goofballs was never going to get finished.

Entire script restarts began in 2014, the year the project started, and continued with increasing frequency throughout the project's lifetime. No one was entirely happy with what we were writing, and flaws were seen as an excuse to start over.

Plans for voice acting, animating, and editing were eventually just forgotten because the writing phase was taking way too long. At some point, Goofballs as it was originally intended died.

However, that doesn't mean I can't share this with you.

Currently what resides on the Goofballs page is a story, perhaps more interesting than the film itself would be, of its development. I went through and found notable reference materials we wrote and utilized in writing the script, as well as many of the major revisions that were scrapped. I invite you to explore the journey we went on to try and make this film happen, which ultimately failed due to our shared over-perfectionism and loss of motivation.

Goofballs will never be finished as a full film. I'm fine with leaving this project in its current state. In some ways, I think it's better that way.

If I were to scrap something together quick, release it, and call it Goofballs, it wouldn't be Goofballs. I wouldn't still have the same mind and point of view as I did back when these events were relevant and fresh, and the film wouldn't have much of a purpose for the community today, as a majority of its userbase is different. Sure, I could pass it off as a "history lesson" or something pedantic like that, but there would be no point as the issues that frustrated us back then no longer exist.

I just don't feel right throwing away the literal years of passion and effort that multiple people put into this project. I want some aspect of this to come to life, even if it's not as I planned originally.

Here, I would like for you to ask me anything about Goofballs, to which I will give as good of answers as I can. But keep in mind that this project started 5 years ago, in a different time, in a different brain, and my memory can only serve me so well.

I'm not sure what else to say about this. It's been a weird ride, not just with Goofballs, but with this wiki as well. I know both of these things will truly have a spot in my heart for quite a while.

Long live SBFW.
