An update moving on into 2024: (a huge article)


I'm writing this and posting this early, hope everyone who reads this has a merry christmas and a new year as the time comes! While we're not there exactly, I'm unsure when I will post this so making this now. Even if it's days away, making a post this serious is always good to really describe the year as it comes to a closure. NOTE: This won't be my final ever post, nor is this me saying goodbye 2023 as we still have some time beforehand, but I do wanna say this 1. In case I don't get to the remaining of this year and 2. To really spill how this year has been :)


Just gonna say this year has been.. better? I don't really have much to remember for this year, it kinda slid by quick but I do have absolute golden moments I will hold onto forever. I will always remember this year as the year I met and started dating @Starruis who will always remain special to me (love you hun! <3) and this was the year I worked on my confidence to improve myself to grow up and work to be the best person I can be. This year absolutely had some sour notes (which I won't talk about) but besides those this year has been my best year yet and hoping 2024 will be a new slate/era for myself as a person and developer, I have a lot of games to do and other things and have been improving. The goal of 10,000+ was also hit and I am growing everyday! I appreciate every single one of you, you're all an amazing community and hope it continues to get better onward!

I hope every single person I've talked to too grows and becomes the better versions of themselves, it'll be a new year and a new fresh slate to really build yourself higher as a goal, I believe everyone can hit that. I am also aware I haven't released much projects this year if at all, it's kinda tough honestly as you get older there's always something else to focus on being real life and many things close to you, but I do promise I got stuff to come and even stuff I enjoy. Hoping nobody lost faith in what I do, I've cancelled some games (all for good reason) and I plan to do more projects to replace those games that are gone.

I don't have too much to say, but thank you everyone for building up and thank you all for having me become the better person as I grow. No matter what projects or stuff I stop working on, I do indeed enjoy doing them in the long run but not everything can last and there will be better stuff to replace it! Hoping for an amazing great year!!! <3

My new years resolution is to grow and become a better person, 2024 will be a new slate I wanna see myself going into with a better life. <3


I do really wanna give special shouts to:

My lovely girlfriend: @Starruis, she has been the key and spark to my life and has helped me mentally get through this year. So again, I love you, and always will! When we met it was the best moment of my entire life and I hope we grow and meet one day and genuinely be happy together, stay special to me. <3


And my amazing friends who carried me through this year - (I won't be able to tag EVERY friend so if you do not show up, I too thank you <3)
