In early 2014, Raven set to work, with fellow collaborator madformerspro on Dream Clouds, however an extremely troubled production ultimately resulted in the film's cancellation, which led to the release of Transition, an autobiography that details the troubled production, on October 15, 2014 at Octoberfest.
History would quickly repeat itself however with The Fall of Gary Bush in January 2015. The production received severe backlash by a fellow director to a point which Raven ultimately dropped production all together. The film was officially recut, reshot and remarketed to Reflection in March, the short was released on April 3, 2015 to a polarized audience reaction.

On September 2, 2018, they officially changed their username to Raven_Akira- after their Roblox Account was hacked. On June 9, 2019, Raven released Injustice: Mortal, a more complete version of Injustice, which they'd began work on 3 years before.
At present, Raven's been working on Black Sparrow a series set within the VSDU. Progress on the series has been slow, mainly due to Raven choosing to focus more on their personal life and relationships.
