Attsri Studios

*Crumbling Under Expectations*

**Attsri Studios** was a studio and brand created by Chris Cuypers in 2016. It was meant to be spiritual successor to EXO Sphere Studios that would attempt to reignite the ideas and goals EXO Sphere had. Unfortunately dues to Chris not having enough support for the studio, Attsri Studios was shut down and deleted on April 5th, 2018.

## History

After years of doing the GojiFan93 YouTube channel, Chris began to feel a burnout and wanted to branch out and do other things. And so come 2016, Chris decided to return to his EXO Sphere Studios roots and made a new studio that would be spiritual successor to his old High School group. He called it *Attsri Studios* (the word Attsri being an anagram for Artist). This was going to be the creative venture that would be the thing to quench Chris' creative thirst. He could do anything he wanted with this platform. He went to work on making the social media platforms and branding logos, and got to work quickly by already starting his first project. It would be an old game he made back in the EXO Sphere day, a breakout-style game with a Godzilla theme over it, and a sequel for that game. With these in progress, Chris tried plugging and sharing his new creative venture with as many people as possible, thinking that *"surely people will come to this because I'm GojiFan93!"* However, that harsh dose of humble pie would hit him soon enough.

Chris would continue to work on this newly found studio and the GojiFan93 channel at the same time. There were even some projects that he joined both brands together for. Throughout the year he made some small low-budget video games using an engine called Game Guru, a software he had been a fan of for many years and had a lot of fun making content on. Chris made six games using the engine under the Attsri Studios umbrella. These included a FPS series called, *"Shoota-Man,"* and a 3-D platformer that was a parody of sorts heavily inspired by the Crash Bandicoot series called, *"Slam Raccoon."* With each game released, Chris tried to get as much attention for them as he could. Unfortunately, he wasn't seeing the numbers or the number of people he wanted to see viewing the new projects. He felt frustrated because it seemed like people only cared about his Godzilla channel more than anything else he did. When the games were finished releasing, they didn't receive the attention he wanted them to and he started to feel defeated. His YouTube channel was still dominating he did creatively, and it seemed like he couldn't escape its grasp. He tried other ideas with his new studio to try and see if anything would catch. Nothing did.

In 2017, Chris retired from the GojiFan93 channel and was ready to put all the effort into Attsri Studios. Unfortunately, as the years went on, the studio didn't performing well. If fact, Chris was putting more money into it than he was putting out. At this point, he was already frustrated at how the GojiFan93 channel seemed to be looming over him no matter what he did. He feared that people would only see him as GojiFan and not Chris and felt trapped into doing something Godzilla related and anything else would be considered a creative failure. Then two projects he was leading (Kaiju Fantasy Battles! and Kaiju Horizon) didn't help. Combined with his unhealthy mindset on the studio, two failed projects and living in the shadows of GojiFan93, Chris had finally had enough. On April 5th, 2018, he put out a video announcing that Attsri Studios would be shutting down and deleted, with the explanation given that the studio just wasn't making the numbers he needed to see it become a successful and worthwhile venture. Another reason was that Chris decided to continue school by entering Penn Foster college, and would go for a Veterinary Degree as a backup career, because of his love for animals and to have something planned in case his future doesn't involve being in the entertainment field.
