Doesn´t proof the animator per se, just that someone animated it. This "animator dude" might exist that is also not the thing. What is a thing: There is a rymeing German saying which translates roughly as: Whoever lies three times, will not be believed anymore, even if truth is spoken!Oh dear. Maybe its preview of animation by the "non existing" animator some of you been talking about....
Gumdrop has lied too often, even well before this update void, e.g. one proven lie in early 2018 when he said the (then) update was over 90% finished and then weeks later had to admit he only had started making the update. But then again, Josh, you should know best, being a drinking buddy of him or gumdrop himself. So this example will not come as a surprise to you.
Under the line gumdrop lied so often and broke so many promises, any post with excuses pulled out where the sun does not shine, is suspect until he maybe releases the update. still it sounds more like keeping up the milking. We´ll see.
