I owe a lot to Susiecat, and not just for FNaI.

When he made me the Illuminy model on New Year's Eve 2021, I saw my dream come true at the time: to see Illuminy in three dimensions.

Susie only wanted to satisfy this wish of mine but he also did much, much more than I could ever wish for.

That model became the basis for FLaN 5 and from there other wonderful FNaI-themed games were born.

And I'm not writing this because they are FNaI-themed but because I genuinely liked them, all of Susie's games from the first to the last are really very well made. During all these years I have always wondered why Susie was so attached to FNaI to dedicate all his time to creating things related to it.

The answer was very simple:
He was passionate about the series.

I would never have thought that one of my creations could inspire and enthuse someone so much. It means that with my characters and my stories I can sow inspiration and create extraordinary things.

Of course I never forced Susie to do anything. He was only driven by what FNaI represented for me, for him and for all the @The_Betaglian_Testers : an excuse to be together.

FNaI didn't just inspire Susie, it was also the reason why the Betaglian Testers were born. The group was born precisely as a small circle of friends to test Purple Illuminy. So it's thanks to FNaI that we are here, it's thanks to Susie that we are here.

And today I'm here, not to regret Susie's goodbye from the series. On the contrary, I'm here to thank him for everything he did for me, for FNaI and for the Betaglians.

Such a great contribution that deserves an honorary recognition.

Yes, he deserves the award for "Best Fan-Developer". But not only as a fan of the series, but also as one of my greatest and most sincere friends I've ever met on the internet.

I will eagerly await your next projects and will always be available to you as you have been to me.
