What a day, right?

I'm here to discuss and put my thoughts down over some stuff that happened today so people have a more clear direction of not only myself but the community and the game scene as a whole. There's a massive wall, so read when you have the time. I felt the need to give my thoughts on it.

Some of you i'm sure read the last post I did where I announced I was not gonna really make games anymore, and while I did mean what I said in that post with full sincerety, some of the things I said were seen with ill intentions, and I want to clear that up.

I mentioned that EVE had the best elemental system by far. This was seen by many as something pretty egotistical for me to say, and looking back at it, it definitely was. I do not mean to demean or place myself higher than other developers; I think a lot of the people in this community are far more talented than I will ever be, and I would like to apologize for it. People can certainly have different opinions about that, and I don't mean to say otherwise.

The success of that game gave me a lot of pride but also gave me an ego I never really had before, I'm willing to admit that. I let the popularity of it get to my head. So for everyone, I'd like to apologize about that. I didn't really realize I was apart of the problem that's been with this community for awhile now, but I'm working on not only trying to make it better, but being better as a person. I'm just hoping you all are willing to give me that chance. At the end of the day I'm really just some guy who's been here for a long time who has a large following after the years. Again, I'd like to apologize for saying something like that. I did not mean to belittle or put down other developers or make myself seem better than them, because I'm not. I was a new developer too once, and I know all too well how that feels. It's not right of me to do that to others, even if I don't really recognize that I'm doing it.

The rest of you likely know about the taking down of the official game trilogy from Sable. A part of that may very well be my fault, as I've voiced my opinions about the original games a lot in various platforms. I've definitely gone into an "elitist" mindset when it comes to fnafb games, as silly as that is. I've had and gotten so much experience that I looked at the games as riddled with bad game design choices and issues, when in reality it was just a game series made by a teenager who was not in the slightest concerned about making "good game design choices" for a fnaf swear game made in rpg maker, and I realize now I've taken it way too seriously than it was ever intended to be. I am definitely a part of that issue and again, I apologize profusely about it because I was too blind to notice it until finally pointed out to me.

If by chance sable happens to see this, I'm very sorry about the things I've said about both your games and yourself for "being out of touch". that was very uncalled for from me and I know I made that mistake. I wouldn't be here today without those games and while I don't like every single thing about them, I appreciate what they established and how much of a timeless experience those games are, I still appreciate them being made.

If this changes your perception about me as a person, I can accept that. Just know that I genuinely want things to improve in this community, it's been far too toxic for far too long, and I'm only just now realizing it because I was sunk too far in the swamp to notice I was drowning in it myself.

I had one secret update for eve in the works, but after this, I am not all too certain if I should commit to it any longer. I am likely getting far too old to spend time making these games anymore...

Feel free to call me an idiot about being so emotional about something like this, I just needed to vent somewhere. I'll take some time to think and try to come up with what to do better going forward.

I want to thank each and every one of you for giving me the support that you have for all these years. I don't really deserve it.
