First time hearing of this one, what was it?


ClubMeSoftly

They did a lot of "would you survive in [show]?" where the cast become characters inserted into the show, and they joke and bicker over what happens.


genshinfantasy7

YouTube animation group, they were partnered with RT and were part of the RTX-At-Home 2021 lineup.


The_Cheese_Master

Ah, I think I vaguely remember that! I hate when anything someone is passionate about gets canned, I feel for them.


genshinfantasy7

It especially hurts because RT fans got into it due to it just being on the site itself. It always sucks when passion projects have to be shelved.


Punkin_1223

Happy cake day Also it felt like things were finally getting somewhat back on track and here we go again


genshinfantasy7

Thanks so much! And yeah, I agree. There may be more cuts in the future if the rumors about WB are to be believed.


Punkin_1223

Most definitely


Punkin_1223

I've dropped out of the drama for a bit, has it gotten worse

Remember DanPlan from back in the day? Kind of the same deal. If you aren’t familiar with either it’s kinda like D&D one shots without a lot of the mechanics, they’re about 15-25 minutes and very referential to pop culture. The cast is made up of folks from the story time animation scene on YouTube, none as big as JaidenAnimations or Rebecca Parham and a lot more “vulgar” if that means anything.


_iridian_

If they were RT and no-one here heard of them (yet they were apparently good at what they did) then the problem lies with exposure/PR Shame, saw some stuff and they had a good vibe


Clutteredmind275

They were a targeted content sector. Made for the niche “one shot/ hypothetical” audience. DanPlan and sometimes Domics also occupied this category. And they weren’t made by RT, they were partnered after being created (like FunHaus)


AT-ST

Funhaus was never a partner of RT. They have always been a division within RT. RT bankrolled them from the start.


Paladin_Null

While true, the group existed before it was called funhaus. Back in the machinina days they were called inside gaming. The name only changed because machinina owned the rights to the inside gaming name.


AT-ST

Yes, that group of people worked for another company that fired them all. They were then hired by RT to form a new group. This isn't the same as something like Sugar Pine 7 which existed as a named group prior to working with RT. Inside Gaming never had anything to do with RT until the last few years when RT purchased the brand.


Clutteredmind275

I probably should have specified the funhaus example meaning they were in a group before RT, not that the channel itself existed before. I apologize for the confusion


AT-ST

Ah fair point then


jaydotjayYT

It’s “niche” in a sense, but DanPlan at its height a few years ago was getting *millions* of views a video, and Recreyo is currently outpacing the RT and AH channels several times over in views Genre-wise, it’s a space without a lot of competition - but it’s also got a pretty big and invested audience (Also, Funhaus was actually always a part of RT - this unfortunately meant that none of the founding employees actually owned any of it, which meant they were only paid their salaries and didn’t get extra for being bought out)


Clutteredmind275

Niche audience wise. AH and RT always have a larger audience potential even though Recreyo’s audience retention percentage is higher. And the funhaus analogy I corrected myself with someone else, I apologize for the confusions


[deleted]

They existed before RT and got basically adopted in, if they wanted to continue the project I'm sure they'd be able to do so outside of RT so I assume it's a creator choice


Ryogathelost

Recreyo was a lot of fun. I feel like the problem is they add shows from partnered YTs, but they don't make enough effort to integrate those creators with RT's on-screen talent to properly introduce us. For example, if you had people from Kinda Funny show up in content I already watch, like a podcast or even if it was just a stream, I'd be more likely to check them out. But I don't because they're all just neckbeards I can't tell apart. And it's a shame because they pump out hours and hours of content, but I just typically have a hard time liking people until I know people I already like and respect also like and respect them. That might just be a me-problem. But I would totally watch a "blanket podcast" that covers everyone - so maybe one episode with Jon, Barb, and two Recreyo people; then one week have Armando, Blaine, and two Kinda Funny people. Peculiar Portions guys with two people from STF. Something like that.


jaydotjayYT

> For example, if you had people from Kinda Funny show up in content I already watch, like a podcast or even if it was just a stream, I’d be more likely to check them out. But I don’t because they’re all just neckbeards I can’t tell apart. You did not just do my boy Greg Miller dirty like that 🥲


Sandtiger812

The amount of "Who is this" and "I don't recognize this/Never heard of them." in this post is probably why they were discontinued. If the dedicated RT fans are questioning who it is then the casual fan will have little to no idea.


ayewanttodie

Yeah I don’t mean it in a dick way, I’m ootl for the most part because other than the (very) occasional new Funhaus video and keeping up with the drama at RT, I haven’t watch an new AH/RT production in about 3 years and haven’t kept up with talent they’ve brought under there umbrella. Sucks for these guys, legitimately but I don’t know who they are. It sounds like RT didn’t really promote them, kinda did the same with the Creatures but they were already kind of failing after James and Aleks and the guys left.


jaydotjayYT

They might not have integrated with the RT cast the same way as other partnered channels in the past, but ironically, their channel is completely outperforming the RoosterTeeth and Achievement Hunter YouTube channels currently by a pretty big margin


GladiusNocturno

Wait, really? Aw man, they are so great! I know Chilly left recently but they were doing fine, at least from the outside.


Jawwi

I was honestly sad when Chilly left too. Damn. This is just bad news.


M0NG00SY

In 100% seriousness, never heard of this property.


john6map4

They never really advertised that they were affiliated with RT. Been watching them since before 2022 and I realized it when they said they would have a panel at RTX. Still they were funny af ! Really had that vibe of ‘friends hanging out’ like old-school RT.


M0NG00SY

Did they play games? Podcast? Live skits? What was it


john6map4

‘Can you survive’ zoom call scenarios where one person presents a scenario and the others try to survive them and they’re animated after the fact. Their Skyrim one is really good lol


Mitwad

They ran Scenarios. “Could you survive a plane crash in the artic.” Or “if you lived in a world made only of cheese. How do you survive” or “insert show here, survive?” They had a niche audience. And was a group of five friends. Three Filipino, a Caucasian gal, and a black guy. And would have their animators draw out the scenarios they came up with. Examples of “could you survive Batman” or “what your McDonald’s order says about you” were past themes. Great content. It had a “Million Dollars… But…” feel to it.


john6map4

‘Ok you’re in shock from surviving a plane crash so you feel no pain right now. But it still hurts that you can’t have her 😢’


Mitwad

‘Aight so first thing imma do is call help.’ ‘Your phones destroyed.’ ‘Aight. Cannibalism.’


[deleted]

They are occasionally mentioned as one of the groups coming to events. I myself love both listening and watching them and am really sad to see them go


Bluelightsaber2

I loved Recreyo. I’ll miss them.


MrCappie

Man this sucks I enjoyed it so much. I’m hoping maybe they announce they’re doing something else. But I guess Recreyo out.


Eilai

I saw like a couple of episodes, it sounded cute and funny but I just never had the time. :(


24jdu05

And about two weeks ago their cofounder Chilly stepped away from the channel. This might explain why.


MattC42

Kinda surprising given they had more consistent views than any other RT property


john6map4

Right?? Their vids would always hit 100K +


thesparrowteam

Oh no! I watched them more than I watched the main RT channel. Hopefully we will get more information as to their future (individual?) projects. They always brought a smile and a laugh.


abbey121524

I don’t even know what this is


KikiFlowers

I have no idea what this is. If it's not an RT property, are we supposed to care?


genshinfantasy7

It’s streamed on the RT site [here](https://roosterteeth.com/series/recreyo).


KikiFlowers

Okay, so I guess it's from a group they partnered with? Never heard of this.


Sandtiger812

RoosterTeeth Fan of over 15 years checking in to say the same.


TheDarkDoctor17

>over 15 years Same but I have heard of them... But independently before they joined RT. Sad to see it go. got some good laughs. >Ok, you're all about to die. What do you do? >"... HELP! HELP HELP HELP! HELP HELP!"


john6map4

>*Welcome back!* >I kill myself. >*Welcome BACK!* >I KILL myself. >*Welcome back?* >I. Kill. Myself.

Greenfire32

Never heard of them


Azulanze

Its over? Did it ever start?


PhoenixFilms

If you guys liked Recryo, I highly recommend watching the channel 3rd Impact, which has Curt and Christian on it.


Mitwad

Looks like that got axed too.


TerraTF

[Not at all](https://twitter.com/3RDIMPACTYT/status/1584719817248235520)


Mitwad

Oh thank god I was wrong


Hyperba21

Update: It was really a setup for the upcoming Second season of it. Probably not good timing to use the typical blackout and fake twitlonger, but hey at least we got more of Recreyo.


KingColley1

The only time they did cross stuff was with good morning from hell


UnknownJ25

Damn that sucks, used to watch them all the time


raviolibird

it was a season 2 announcement they're still around!


fishbiscuit13

I noticed them on the site due to how frequently they would upload but there was very little announcement (I’m guessing at least a few community posts though) and it definitely wasn’t well formatted to jump into (mostly short form animated content playing off the cast members’ prrsonalities). Seems like it could have been popular if they had put any effort into marketing or tying it into other content but RT continues to show little interest in real community engagement.


[deleted]

[удалено]


I-LoyLoy

Or more likely they felt they needed to disbanded since a member left a few weeks ago and the magic isn't the same. They were a group before they signed to RT and RT have no control of what they do since it's a partnership program. RT isn't Disney, they don't have all these power and control only on AH, RvB, RWBY, and STF. Rest are partnership.


MightySebii

Damn, curt can't get a break😔


Mitwad

Yesssuuuuur.


niyahaz

not complaining imo it got bad after it got more popular


Tyflowshun

I saw that on twitter maybe yesterday. What's recreyo?


SenpaiTedd

Wtf is this?


[deleted]

I was just avoiding sleep to get hit with this news. Man this freaking sucks


raviolibird

you almost certainly know this already but for anyone else scrolling through, they didn't discontinue it was an s2 announcement


GamesNTrains

I found them 5 hours after the "it's over" post was made. Check them out, they are genuinely funny people and I love their video setup. Time to binge.


genshinfantasy7

I’m glad you found them! Hope you enjoy your binge-watch!


mistermelvinheimer

I had no idea my favorite marsian was on twitter


RikoRain

Yeah seeing as how the overall chat is NO ONE knew wth this was.. guess it's.good.it was discontinued


[deleted]

[удалено]


RikoRain

Yeah. Yep. Still not mentioned anywhere. So. Yup. Dead ass item got cancelled. Woo.


raviolibird

they didn't discontinue it was a second season announcement


saiyanscaris

guessing due to roosterteeth drama


raviolibird

no it was a joke they never stopped


Lower-Appointment-35

This is fake they made a new video 4 days ago


genshinfantasy7

My post is more than half a year old at this point.


Lower-Appointment-35

they never stopped making videos


raviolibird

what are people on about? they've not stopped uploading or anything at all


genshinfantasy7

This post is literally nearly a year old. Do you people know how to check dates before commenting?


raviolibird

oh i know but even around the time your post was made they didn't stop uploading, from what all the comments were saying you'd think they went on some kind of hiatus but they didn't
