This is a decision that I have been really trying to hold off from doing for months, but as of late, I feel like it is the best choice going forward.

I'm leaving the Baldi community.

There are a lot of reasons for me doing this, and it's a decision I should have made long ago. Here is my reasoning. I'll keep this short instead of making this extremely long like I originally planned.

1. The community is rough. I'm still glad I was a part of it, as I have met some great people through it, but it can also be very toxic at times.

2. My own mental health has taken a really bad dive over the last few months, and some of it is due to the stress of Baldi-related projects

3. I just kind of lack interest in working on Baldi mods nowadays, affected by the aforementioned mental health.

4. Working on the BBCCS team has left quite a negative impact on me. This is why I've been really sheltered from the community too.

I still enjoy Baldi's Basics as a game, and I still support Mystman. I just think the community around his game has been soured for a lot of reasons, no fault of the creator of course. So this does mean that the large amount of content in the v2.25 update of JSoER is being scrapped. v2.25 was already planned as the final update anyways. All other mods of mine are cancelled. I'll still work on Dystopian Education since that hasn't even been released yet, and I am pretty proud of how its turned out, even if it tends to be real buggy.

So what's next after v2.25 JSoER?

I will start working on a new project unrelated to anything Baldi-like. Unlike everything I have made so far with modding/Games, this will be cannon to the stories I want to tell. You'll see some familiar faces when I come around to making it. I just need a long while to get better at drawing.

I'll also try to start uploading YouTube videos again. I have a PNGTuber model now, so it might add more life to my videos, or something like that.

Please do not try to continue my cancelled projects, meaning no JSoER continuations. I want to disassociate my characters from Baldi’s Basics, especially when it comes to BBCCS.

Thank you all for the support over the years. But it is time for me to move on to other future endevors. I'll probably be more inactive on here, Itch, and Gamebanana for now on. But I'll still be active elsewhere, like Discord, Bluesky, and YouTube.

I hope you all enjoy my future creations. I'm exited to work on them when I get the chance. Goodbye, Baldi Community.
