Plotagon may be feasible as an alternative to GoAnimate, with some people using both platforms to ground their characters. However, in my case, I prefer using GoAnimate over Plotagon despite me using Plotagon media in my GoAnimate videos, and this video explains why that's the case, while also addressing some extra problems that no-one else has documented yet. You also get the additional privilege of seeing some Plotagon videos in 60fps instead of the usual 24 or 30 here :) This video is a bit different to what I normally make and it may be a little controversial, but at least it addresses extra points that many Plotagonists (and some GoAnimators) completely dismiss... one of which being the entirety of Plotagon Studio on mobile. Note that this video of mine is my humble opinion, and you're free to explain yours in the comments if you want. 📜 Chapters 📜 0:00 | A brief intro to Plotagon 1:20 | Plotagon's notable limitations 2:17 | Mod support between GoAnimate and Plotagon and my showcases 6:15 | Plotagon Studio's obscure mod, and the effect usage 8:13 | A historical Plotagon Story (the app and its Studio alternative) and its fall 11:19 | The "rise" of the all-new (?) Plotagon Studio 12:21 | Mobile Studio problem #1: The paywalls are worse... 15:51 | Mobile Studio problem #2: The global limitations... 17:23 | Mobile Studio problem #3: The subscription didn't help... 19:20 | Bonus: Plotagon's short-lived secret weapon 22:44 | The conclusion: Why I think GoAnimate is superior compared to Plotagon (well, to this day) 25:10 | Plotagon mods that unlock everything for free is no party 26:03 | Final wrap-up + bonus Plotagon playaround footage ✅ Corrections ✅ • The first Plotagon logo on the left at 8:24 was actually first used in 2016 to 2017. Before that, the app had a basic, thin-lined "P" on a pink background as its logo. The app also launched first on iOS in 2014.
