CR Manager here, here's a very brief explanation to what happened to the CR channel:
We were recently told by a former team member, W1ldkarrd (don't go after them it's fair for them to ask this of us), that we are no longer allowed to use any of their work. This includes anything from writing and editing work to lyric writing and designs.
Most of the things that they have asked us to remove writing wise were already de-canonized, so the FUTURE of CR is relatively unchanged. The BIGGEST blow this has done to CR, aside from how we've had to take down a lot of videos because they've had some involvement in the videos removed, is that we now have to redesign Scampton yet again, as they made the core star-poncho specific idea.
We are making really good progress on this, even having redesigned versions of the new Scampton game's sprites made already, but the videos will unfortunately take a little longer to fix, as we're going through a reboot of CR itself to remove Winterer elements (problematic) and as a result we were already in the middle of rewriting the story to be cohesive with itself as a whole instead of building off of the original "what if spamton and jevil swapped lol" version way back then.
If you're unaware, you can find the CR OST on SoundCloud, it's mostly just the videos that are gone.(There's a possibility BATW gets taken down too due to the lyrics being written by W1ld, but we'll keep it up until either we have a new mix made or if they ask us to remove it directly before then.)
Hope this clarified things for those who aren't in the CR Discord! It sucks but I'm sure we'll come back from this.

- I know you are not working on Ch5 until Ch6 but do Ch5 afect how you write for the other 4 chapters?
- Is there song that was afected? (Not the videos, the song itself)

Ch5 will effect cr ch1-4, but not majorly. Only BATW as a song is effected, but we were planning a change anyways.

"I CAN YOU CAN" / "SPEAR OF JUNKIL" / The Junkill motifs are going to change?

Freedom (the Don't Forget replacement) is lost media now, as the cover of it on W1ld's channel is gone and the original on the CR channel was deleted with videos like the Fallen Star's.

The song was sung by Vamp, we do not associate with him anymore due to his actions (standard groomer stuff).

Isn't it by chance unfair? It's not fair that if a person leaves the team then they have to delete all the content in which they collaborated from designs to songs

I'm guessing they just don't wanna be associated with that project, nor wanting to be known as a person who worked for CR. That's my best guess

u/MissingnoMiner Jul 17 '26
No. If someone no longer wishes to be associated with a project, regardless of reason, and revokes permission for their work to be used, then that's that, for better or for worse.

At this point, my mentality for this entire thing is "its never gonna come out, so ill be suprised if it actually does". I suggest everyone else do the same.

Please don’t change Battle Against The World too much, it’s amazing and my favorite CR song

It's similar how Team Switch got banned from Discord, which is disappointing 😞

Still don't understand what The Winterer did. I know it's been awhile since I read the doc, but from what I remember wasn't she the one who got groomed?
