What's up guys,
It's 2024. I've been on NG for 5.5 years and I just turned 22.
I don't have much to say because I'm dead inside right now, but I do want to thank you all for the support over the years.
Along the way, I've met a lot of great people here on Newgrounds, including many I now consider important friends.
I think this community is a big reason why I was able to come out of my shell overtime, and what made me realise I want to keep following my passions.
I often get demotivated and end up not posting songs for months sometimes, even with my huge backlog of completed songs. Even then, while I neglect Youtube and Soundcloud (nothing in over half a year), I do post on Newgrounds.
I interact with the community on a daily basis, and I enjoy participating / helping judge community events...
So yeah, I've been an active member of the website for a quarter of my life and will stick around for years to come hopefully :)
Here's a lil' piece of news though :
As college was taking a toll on my mental state, I realised last october that I had 2 years left before graduating. So unless whatever happens, I won't have the time to make music afterwards. I thought "Is it really what I want my life to be ? A shit job just to make a living"
Your boy has taken the courage to do a leap of faith, I reached out to my first online friends from over a decade ago,S some of which have since gone on to become game developpers.
Let's just say I have an opportunity to turn my passion into my job, and I will try my best to reach that point before my deadline. Wish me luck :)
That also means you can expect some albums very soon ! Oh and I might go to the US later this yeah ^^
