Sorry, it's been a bit since last I updated. Thing is, I've been dealing with a few personal things going on time and time again.
A year ago, I went through some really bad times with someone I was in a relationship with. And unfortunately, it wasn't a clean break. Others got involved, misinformation was spread, and, worse, stalking happened. As such, I've been minimizing the amount of time I've been spending on public-facing sites where I post life updates. (Discord servers, though, is fine, when the moderators are doing their jobs. Yay for Discord!)
The mental struggle has unfortunately made me really disinterested in doing a whole lot of... art... video gaming... anything, really... over the past few months. But I have been doing things, little by little in trudging up and out of this pit. Mostly in the realms of discussing stuff relating to the Metroid fandom and brainstorming about possibilities for the future.
As such, I highly doubt when, if ever, I'm going to be returning to uploading things on this site. Maybe one or two things here and there. Can't say for certain.
If any of y'all are interested in finding me, I recommend two Discord servers that I frequent: Metroid HQ's, and Metroid Database's. Also, for Zelda-related stuff, you can find me on Zelda Fangame Community's Discord. See y'all there!
So, it's come to the forefront of my mind that I'm not likely to keep uploading works to this site, unless I can think of a really good design project / something that I feel comfortable / am allowed to share with the masses.
For example, I have design concepts in mind for some fan-entries in some video game franchises... that I'm also working on with someone else, but that means revealing our works to the world, to be open for... well, theft.
I'm just not sure if I want that.
But then again, uploading these designs could lead to another blue tardigrade situation. Never know. May become an option...
After all, I missed that chance with Sonic Forces by just not uploading my designs before something big dropped. Could've claimed theft... Could've made some noise about it. Just didn't.
And then there's also the criticism...
This was a year of bad things happening almost right after one another. It chips away at a person mentally. I just want some rest from it all.
Anyways, I might be uploading a few things in a little while. I know so many people watch this channel either because we're friends OR because y'all want to see more sprite work or more elemental design sigils. I don't know exactly what I'll be uploading next, or when, but thank you all for sticking around. <3
