Well, we've reached the end of 2025, and moved on into 2026. Hot damn, what a year. We've just moved into a brand new year of endless potential and infinite possibilities, and well, after ALL that's happened this year, I can only imagine whats gonna be coming next...

So, why not take a bit of time to reflect and make a post about it?

The best way I can describe 2025 is both as the absolute best... and absolute WORST year of my life. SO much stuff happened in what ended up feeling like quite a short year. It was quite something to say the least, and admittedly I'm a bit unsure on how to feel on it all.

On one end, I ended up having so much incredible stuff happen and some absolutely unforgettable moments. I met a ton of new, interesting and talented individuals, some of which became incredible friends who I've gotten to have fun with, bond with, and explore a shared passion with in the realm of art. I got to make a shit-ton of artwork, including hundreds of props and textures, dozens of graphics, a little less then a dozen landscapes, several logos, and a bunch of fun renders! Legit I managed to create so much more this year then I have any prior year, and its been awesome. I got to start being much more open to collaborating with others creatively, which led to me joining so many different projects to help out. I also just had so many small but amazing moments with people, ranging from dumb bits, fun gameplay sessions, and just overall tons of incredible moments that connected me with the people who I deeply care for.

On the other end though... a lot of not so good stuff happened. I had to deal with tons of personal mental health issues, which I, for obvious reasons, wont go into, but it ended up heavily effecting my motivation and my emotions throughout the year, especially early on. I also had to deal with probably one of the worst examples of a dev team going wrong, which involved a friend group completely shattering, and eventually resulted in me losing several of my dearest friends, which hurt me in ways I couldn't even describe. This isn't even beginning to mention the current state of the world and ESPECIALLY America (which for both of our sakes I wont go into), and all the stress that has caused me and many of my dear friends.

Safe to say, this year was an absolute chaotic mess... but, regardless of it all, I still appreciate it. This year has been one of my favorites so far, and I can't wait to see what comes next, good or bad. I want to give a special thanks to all of my friends, family, and developer affiliates who I've gotten the chance to be with this year. While I won't go ahead and make a giant list naming everyone I know (god it'd be far too many names!), you know who you are, and I thank you. I'd also like to give thanks to all the followers who've joined alongside me for the journey. Whether you followed one of my older projects, followed for my art, or just wanted to stalk me, I appreciate you all. Thank you all for joining the ride, I hope you continue to enjoy it.

So, what's next?

2026

There's a lot I want to do in this upcoming year of 2026. I have no plans of stopping my art spree, and hope to continue creating tons more for all the different projects I got the lucky chance to join. I also am currently working on TWO unannounced projects of my own, which are currently residing in Pre-Production as we speak. There's not much I can say on them as of right now, them being early in development and me not wanting to spoil anything for them, but believe me when I say, there's stuff in the works, and I can't WAIT to show you whats in store for the future.

While I am not expecting these projects to be announced in 2026, I am expecting significant progress to be made on them, and I'm excited to be able to show you all what awaits!

Side from all that? Well, I'm gonna continue chugging along! Continue creating, make new friends, and most important of all, make some new and amazing memories along the way. 2025 had so much great stuff to offer, and I truly believe that 2026 has even more to offer! Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it be a mixture of both like with 2025? Well I certainly have no clue, but hey, one thing is for certain...

WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT

There's so much exciting stuff awaiting us this year, so, here's to yet another year of fun, creativity, and absolute chaos!

See you all, and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
