R.I.P. Achievement Hunter

2008 - 2023

It was fun while it lasted.

[monarchisms]

for the red web fans- a six-minute update was uploaded, detailing the future of the podcast in light of rooster teeth shutting down. here's a quick summary of it:

rt is winding down in these next 2 months. red web is under rt, so red web is directly affected by the shutdown

as said by trevor, they're still working on it. they're unsure what will happen, but they're currently looking to see if they can continue the show, either still under the name "red web", or at minimum continuing the show "in some form"

trevor notes that he and the crew believe it was "the honor of a lifetime" to work on red web, and appreciates all the support. he also notes that he's incredibly grateful for the opportunities the show has given everyone that's worked on it. they can't respond to every comment or dm they've gotten, especially in the last few days since the announcement, but they see them nonetheless

the podcast as is will go on through mid- to late april as they consider what comes next for the podcast

all 5 of the book club episodes have already been finished. they will be coming out every friday through the end of march (the 29th). no new episodes after that will be recorded

the crew is still planning a big video finale, "something big and exciting". could serve as the end of a chapter to red web, or as a way to say goodbye. not a lot of details on that, however, because everything isn't set in stone, and trevor doesn't want to promise something that might not exist

he explains that months of content were planned out before the shutdown announcement, so they'll try to at least "cherry-pick some of their favorite topics that they had in the immediate runway" in order to go through some topics that trevor considers "very fun"

trevor also teases that the last episode is "oddly poetic" and encourages people to share their thoughts and theories, as always

trevor then shares everyone's personal instagram handles, just in case they can't access red web's official social media accounts: - jillian: _jillen - christian: xchinyoung - alfredo: alfredoplays - trevor: _trevorc

OMG TREVOR?!! 💍

[simplaertes]

kinda insane that achievement hunter is like. gone. not that i didn't see it coming--the era that things like them thrived in has passed and it was time. but i spent half my life just..... with them, in a way. like, i was twelve when i started watching. there are times of my life that are unbreakably intertwined with achievement hunter.

i'm glad they're each getting to do what they want. i'm excited for dogbark, i've been following matt and jeremy on twitch forever now. since they've said let's play will stay around in some capacity, i'm excited to see how that works, and hope it means they'll only play games they want now (randomizers? super bunny man?), but even if they don't it was wonderful while it lasted.

idk i'm not sad, just... melancholy might be the word? sort of a 'goodnight my sweet' kinda vibe with me today. i'm... really grateful it existed. last year changed my blog name after literal years of it being achievement hunter-themed and while i pulled away that doesn't negate the place it holds in my memories--the place it held in my life.

idk. it wasn't perfect, but i'm gonna miss it. i'm excited to see what comes, but a little hollow now that it's gone.

i guess what i mean to say is: thanks for the laughs, guys. see you on the other side.

the core members of AH have the potential to do something very funny now that the Joneses are blond: I think Trevor, Alfredo, and Joe should all go back to being blond as well so we have a diverse cast of. a bunch of blondes

I love this 😂😂😂

[theangryinsomniac]

Hello??? More people need to appreciate this

[taylors-a-goblin]

If I had a nickel for every YouTube series I've watched, where the combo of a lanky white guy and a scared Hispanic/Filipino guy investigated haunted locations together, I'd have 2 nickels, which is not a lot but still amazing.

Something haunted this way comes… and it goes by the name of #Ghostober! 👻

Holy shit LFG! These two are too damn adorable together!

so this is the unintentional part two of that summary post i made with geoff talking about the end of achievement hunter. for this post, i'm going to try my best to sum up what michael, trevor, and joe (but not alfredo because he was sick at the time 😔) have said about what will happen in the future on the penultimate episode of off topic, #403. there won't be a transcript this time as i am busy with schoolwork and stuff, so i'll try to make this summary as filled with as much accurate information as i can to make up for it :)

so basically,

trevor starts off by saying they'll be doing the last of various series to wrap everything up. he also notes that some of these finales will be "more nostalgic"

one of the series finales that's up right now is vs episode #150: joe vs BK. the game they played is cooking mama!

after the series finale of off topic (#404 lol), the final AH video ever will be a let's play in the remastered version of burnout paradise, and the cast will consist of geoff, jack, trevor, and michael. this is a callback to the first ever AH video they did back in 2008, and it's already been filmed! trevor says it was more emotional then he thought it would be :')

michael explains that the video will essentially be a ~70-minute podcast. in it, they'll talk more about the end of achievement hunter, where the cast members have went/what they've all moved on to, and new projects that they'll working on. he also says that he thinks that people will call this video "cathartic" while comparing the vibe to their old gta v series, sunday driving

not as important, but michael said that he was mindlessly driving and turning in burnout paradise in the same way that he'd run and jump in minecraft because he "fucking hated" playing minecraft lmfao

as said before, they decided to close AH and start something new with dogbark instead of continuing like they used to. michael acknowledges that in the last few years, most of the crew had already left rt in some way or moved on to other stuff within the company, leaving just michael, trevor, alfredo, and joe as the most consistent on-screen talent by the end. *bonus bit that wasn't mentioned until later, but alongside these 4, jarren from the post team will be their channel manager for dogbark :)

as this group makes videos for dogbark, michael says that their stuff will be both "tonally different" and "very fluid" as they're still figuring it out as they go, noting that they were balancing it and AH/let's play content at the same time

michael also talks about how he's been doing what he's wanted to do at AH for a long time, but there were some things he still couldn't do within the constraints the AH crew had put on themselves

while there will be some gameplay stuff on the dogbark channel, as mentioned in this episode and the channel trailer, they will primarily focus on live action content. trevor makes a point by saying that the style/theme in the trailer will "not be pervasive throughout the entire brand", and michael adds on to that by saying the trailer "is at 100, but every video won't be at 100"

michael and trevor make a point by saying that there will be more variety, as in "a dozen little formats", not necessarily like the shows/series they made at AH, with joe saying that they're not trying to "tie themselves down" to strict uploads and such, like they were when they were previously fitting into a mold at AH

trevor says that he has seen achievement hunter, and rooster teeth as a whole, having a unique challenge ahead of them. he refers to making content that appeals to an audience who had been following them since the early days while trying to also find new faces, both out there in the audience and internally at the company, in order for AH to stay around

he also points out how difficult it is to do that with a long-standing brand that has had different eras of content, since there would be an audience with differing expectations for them. with that, it became hard for the AH crew to balance said expectations with the authenticity they tried to show in the content they created. the crew has changed as people alongside their audience, and the stress that came with it was challenging

michael stresses that the group not only chose to make a new channel completely, they also had to fight for it for a while, and wanted to slow down on AH content before properly closing/archiving the channel to create dogbark. beyond the struggles of creating something new from scratch, they now have the challenge of preparing the audience for the jump from AH to dogbark while thinking about all the pros and cons before going forward

this week (the week of september 18th) and next week (the week of september 25th) are the last weeks of new AH content. after that, there will be a 1 or 2-day break before dogbark properly starts making new content on october 2nd. trevor feels like people will get a better idea of what dogbark is after a month or two of them uploading content

finally (subject to change, of course), they want to aim for full uploads every monday and friday, with patreon-like exclusive videos with rt first every wednesday and saturday. one of the confirmed things to expect is a first-exclusive podcast. the first week dogbark officially starts, all that content will be public as a sample of what to expect, and every week after that will follow that schedule

[abbeysquidd]

It's the end of an era, folks.

Achievement Hunter has been a huge part of my life since I was 15. I am going to continue to be sad over AH coming to an end, but also looking forward to the rebrand with Dogbark.

It's been such a fun ride with AH, they have helped me through so many hard times in my life and I'm so lucky to have gotten to be a part of this amazing community.

This is the end of an era, but the beginning of a whole new one. I'm excited to see what Michael, Trevor, Alfredo, and Joe will do on the new channel.

Love you, Achievement Hunter. Thanks for some pretty badass times💚🖤💚🖤
