Hello Hello

Hello, friends. It's time for another update, and this time around, I might just let this one stick around a bit longer.

I've been deleting my previous updates to keep my "Welcome to my Page" post at the forefront. It's a small preference of mine. Both that, and I dont wanna overshare progress. I like when things remain as a surprise. That being said, let's get on with it.

On a personal level, things are great! I've been on a positive trajectory, embracing my true self without the need for pretenses around others. I've also been mindful about the company I keep, weeding out negative influences and focusing on keeping positive people in my circle. Im especially not associating with a fellow content creator some of you may know (I programmed a game of theirs here on Newgrounds) due to morals and personal reasons. Some of you might know who im talking about, some not, but I feel it's worth mentioning. It's been quite the journey, and I'm content with where I am now. We're moving forward, gamers, and we will continue to do so.

Doodlepup's reception has consistently amazed me. The reviews and votes received have made me feel like a real game developer™️, and that's a sentiment I can't quite get over. I wanna eventually explore new programming languages. But for now, I'm sticking to my roots for now. (I love you, Flash ❤️)

Speaking of creative pursuits, alongside my art, I've been chipping away at a couple of projects. Ive had art block for a bit, but the fact that some of you enjoy my work regardless warms my heart. I've got two game ideas brewing—one slightly more ambitious than the other.

I'm working with a couple of friends on the bigger one. The smaller one is more of a "me" thing as I just wanna make stuff that I and my friends would personally enjoy. 10 out of 10 would recommend doing stuff for you instead of other people. Feels nice. Nonetheless, I wanna post it anyway because the Newgrounds API is just so fun to play with.

Doodlepup took half a year to develop, and I'm hopeful that the upcoming game won't take as long. But hey, if it does, so be it. I wanna share some concepts that I hope will be fun to play around with, adding a bit of extra charm. Its like...a digital fidget cube.

Had an idea for the play button for the game. it's a first for me to delve into "complex math" stuff in Flash (its basic mathmatics). Surprisingly, I made it out alive, despite my mathematical shortcomings (I'm really fucking stupid)

I've also got a couple of sketches to share, one of which was kindly done by Cootie. As we gear up for this new game, I hope you guys like it. If not, totally understandable. The vibe might not be your thing. Or the game might end up being too boring for you. But now matter what, I'm gonna try to make it enjoyable for as many people as I can while also enjoying the time I spend working on it. I'm aiming for a Newgrounds-friendly vibe without diving into unnecessary edginess. Your support means the world, and I can't wait to reveal more as we progress.

In other news, I have been making cartoons. Some are either too short to post on Newgrounds, so I just havent bothered uploading them, or I refuse to finish them because its like.. "Omg this is so funny" then I turn around and its all "what the fuck was i thinking this is dull as hell."

Ive been meaning to make a trailer/teaser for the bigger game I'm going to be working on. But voice acting and music arent really my fortes. So im just waiting for motivation to roll around while simultaneously working on my smaller game.

Ive been working hard!! Not only on projects but in IRL. So we ball.

Im doing great and I hope you guys are too.
