It's not 2023 for me yet as that'll be tomorrow for me, but I do wanna also reflect on 2022 as a whole.

This year has been decent, not my best year ever but definitely been better than that of 2020-2021. I will admit there are ups/downs I have had this year, mainly with my personal life, but overall this hasn't been bad. I do have bad news (kinda?), this is off-topic to the year but wanting to open up and why not bring it up in a reflection post? Today I changed my geometry dash account to start over fresh, I will admit I have hacked stuff on that account before, won't get into details as it's in the past for me now but I've been improving since then (btw I hacked levels you guys haven't seen, so not Nine circles, Crazy, or anything as those are legit progress. But stuff like map packs and hell even gauntlets (NOT THE DEMON GAUNTLET) I used to hack. Big update there, but yeah starting over fresh and leaving behind that account so I can show how skilled I actually am (and I'm much better than I used to be.)

Minus that, this year has been decent for me.

As for game development, I've been trying to improve as a game developer, I've seen the honesty about my current released projects being rather generic, and I'm fixing that, I'll be MUCH slower but I'll take the time I and my team need to make worthy fangames for passion. Even if I have to pay for fangames. Chapter 3 is still going through development (@Trius is doing the lighting for it soon), same goes for Fredbear's Resort v2 over at @cosmogames. I've been busy with stuff, and hell even developing a FREE ROAM FANGAME with @Uriyra . I wanna be a better dev and show my creativity, rather than rush and later updated shit. I have no news right now, but I can sense 2023 will be the year for me, I even have a set plan for an ORIGINAL HORROR GAME I plan to sell. (planning to start it in 2024)

It's also been an AMAZING year to be here on Gamejolt (minus questionable unneeded updates), having the ability to get the creator badge has meant so much to me and still does, my motivation is so much higher than it once has been, Gamejolt is truly awesome for giving me this opportunity. I truly wanna thank all of you for giving me charged stickers, while I can't always send a "thank you" response, just know from the bottom of my heart I REALLY appreciate it. I love my community, and always will. :)

Wanting to shout friends out who I NOT ONLY **WANT** THEM TO GET VERIFIED one day but to ALSO thank for being here for ALL these years and being with me. If I don't get everyone I deeply apologize but I'll try. You're all awesome to me anyway. :3
