I just wanna say right off the bat, I'm happy for making OneShot art. It is always a blast making it too, one of my favorite things is always seeing OneShot streamers play this wonderful game. I know I havn't been very active lately nor doing OneShot art in 3D lately. I've been mostly doing alot of collage work lately with occasional streaming of pixel art, random games, and 3D art making.
Lately, I've been depressed and having anxiety issues over past drama, recent drama, and people that just keep seeking something out of me for something I never did. It's been a re-occurring theme for the past two years for me. People that have stuck with me, keep encouraging me to continue but I mean I'm such a weird and sensitive bean that any sort of drama towards me kicks off my anxiety instantly. So if you keep getting a cycle of this drama for months and months . . . you can start to see how this becomes problematic for me. My overall problem lately, has been that I've been working on a OneShot 3D project of my own, and that has been the entire basis of causing so many issues and hate towards me for the past few months. The entire basis of the argument has been over stealing art, idea, being manipulative, etc. when that's never been the case. I'm sure some of you have seen the issues . . . or not, depends. Its really hard to talk about this and trying to not be specific and name names, because there isn't really any way to not be . . . it's pointless since there is only 2 of us trying to do a similar project in 3D. I know submitting this will most certainly stir up drama, but at the same time I'm tired of all my issues being one-sided and shelved to be used against me later on.
I write these next few paragraphs to be more or less a whole consensus of what's been thrown at me for the past few months. I just want to answer them so that this isn't just behind the scenes anymore. I just ask you guys to keep an open mind, and please know that I'm going to be a little bit ranty about my response towards these issues, cause I'm generally fed up with this.
I just want this to be clear that I've been doing this since 2018 and a year longer than that other project. Its evident in the main oneshot discord if you look, cause my main OneShot discord I helped make for VRChat has been demolished. The main reason I didn't start this project sooner was a whole orchestra of VRChat OneShot community harassment that kept me scared of doing things publicly for majority of 2019. I entered VRChat with the sole purpose of making a OneShot playable version, which is apparently just fine with them if I keep doing that. But its been grounds for causing drama towards me because I've suggested I wanted to move on from VRChat and use Unity for trying to make my own game with my experience of making OneShot content, which has apparently been a big no no. What other game engine are you going to use for game making??? There is only so many popular game engines, so what is the basis of this argument? I really don't know, VRChat has to use unity in the first place, it's as easy as adding code and boom you have a game.
The other issue that has been brought up was for the name issue, like what else are you going to name a project that is also OneShot in a 3D perspective/ view? (My original project was called "MrCreeper's OneShot 3D") Game jolt doesn't allow same named projects so I added my name, like what even?
The other main issue that has been told to me is that I've stolen art, which isn't at all true. I'm pretty sure that whole basis has been based on a single DM of being offered models for a "canceled" 3D project, and I wasn't even given them. Which is funny, in terms of that project being "canceled", since when I announced I wanted to attempt game making, oh what do you know it's been resumed! That was also when all this drama got stirred. But that's an entirely different issue & story of it's own that I'm willing to share, but not here. The main flaw with that accusation of art stealing is that I've even been showing my new barren builds in a time-lapse, it's even public on youtube and you can even see me do it live on my Twitch, occasionally! So uh . . . yea. Heck our builds don't even look too similar! I mean everyone uses RPG Maker XP for modding or creation of OneShot content, it is going to be similar cause it's FAN ART.
I mean, what the heck is the point of this? I love encouraging artist to make art, especially OneShot art! I like seeing OneShot in 3D and making it is the best thing ever. The more people making OneShot fan stuff the merrier! But this has to stop, it's so stupid and toxic. I've literally been minding my own business for the past 3 months and trying to make my own name out there, since I've been lurking since 2018. But I've been seeing the same hate told in a random place of the internet at least once a month. I mean what is the end game of this? I honestly don't know, is it to have me stopped for making my own fan content? I'm already struggling with mental issues and trying my hardest to stay determined to a game I really love but it seems anytime I do anything someone has to be pushing buttons. So I write this post to say what I need to say, and as a result I'm probably going to go hide and ignore lots of people in the upcoming days if drama is made out of this, I'm sorry but not sorry. If drama is made out of this it just proves that people are out to get me.
