Hey peeps
I want to start by saying that I have not seen the leaked footage. This post has zero spoilers.

This post is about animation and film production.

A friend of mine that I used to work with in game dev (he left for a computer animation studio) was unlucky enough to happen across the “leaked final episode” in his feed before he knew what was up.

However, he reached out to me and I think what he said may be helpful to many of us:

Hey so TikTok jump scares me this morning with screener footage from TADC Last Act. Like, don’t go looking for it because I know you hate ANY spoilers but if you see it by accident, like I did, don’t worry too much.

What I saw was not in any kind of cohesive chronological order (yes I stayed to watch in for a penny in for a pound bite me) but there’s no order to the footage, there is temp music stubbed in, and temp 3D artwork. This is marked as an accessibility screener so my guess is that this is their animation effects reel along with some dialogue and a bit of context.

You’ll like this. During the most important of scenes there is no character dialogue. Just like we used to do. So that bright light effect could be anyone*
Anyhow, may the gods be ever in your favor.

I removed identifying information but kept most of what he said.

What he said makes sense to me, and I hope it provides anyone else that was jump scared with a bit of relief.

In games we create these too for reviews and accessibility tests. Usually called a vertical slice— there are characters, VO, and *effects in there that will never be seen by a player- but we need them for other reasons like testing/reviewing.

I think whomever leaked this, leaked a vertical slice without knowing.

Hey, everyone! Recently, a Brazilian publisher recently leaked some parts of The Amazing Digital Circus' finale, including the ending. And since it got released, people (like the UTTP, apparently) have been spreading these leaks on some social media, especially some other ones like Twitter mainly. So in order for us to be avoiding the spoilers, I suggest avoiding going on any platforms, and just ignore all spoilers as possible. Like we're basically doing an Operation: Hear No Evil. (Reference to Regular Show.) So, please note these points:

1. These leaks for the last episode can be posted anywhere, so be cautious.
2. If you want to find a way to avoid them, you can try and get off the platforms.
3. Wait until you are planning to go to the cinema screenings from June 4th or later, or the official YouTube upload on June 19th.

Hopefully, with this knowledge in mind, you can be aware of the spoilers at any time you're looking at the series online. Be safe, my fellow hard shelled hamburgers!

(note: this post was originally posted on another site, but I decided to post it here as well so that it would be more aware to everyone here.)

I wish that we could all work together to make fake spoilers and atlest help the situation, these spoilers are getting way out of hand... I hope we can all work together is some way to divert the spoilers

DUE TO THE SITUATION OF THE LATEST EPISODE LEAKS THE SOLUTION IS TO CREATE FALSE LEAKS SO AS TO NOT RECOGNISE THEM FROM THE REAL ONES
