Hi there Newgrounds! I'm not sure if anyone here remembers me, but I feel like I need to write this. I've had a rough few years and I haven't been active on NG for years either. I sort of just left my Newgrounds account high and dry and never updated anyone on what is happening with me and my projects. For that I am very sorry and I apologize. So here is just an update of what's been happening with me and what I'm up to now.
Unfortunately I had to cancel "Enter The Flesh Again" for many reasons. I made a post about it on the game's Facebook page back in Sept of 2019, but I just totally neglected Newgrounds. I think I'll just post that exact thing here right now:
"Hey there everyone,
Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve been active on social media. For the past few years I’ve been under a rock of depression. Several burnouts, financial and relationship problems and just plain stupid life choices resulted in me being completely exhausted. I want to apologise for just disappearing and being so unresponsive. I’m sorry.
Enter The Flesh Again, a game I’ve been working on for an eternity, is being put on hold, possibly indefinitely. It’s one of those things that ended up almost destroying me, and it’s my own fault. The game is made in Flash. Since it’s a pretty big game, Flash is struggling immensely to handle all the content, and it takes forever to write even a single line of code. On top of that, Flash is completely dead and the game would not be accepted on almost any platform, so it will need to be ported somehow. There are workarounds and solutions, but in this case, making the game from scratch would actually be easier. So yeah, I screwed up with this one.
Right now I’m in the process of updating my skillset and really planning on what I need to do if I want to keep making games as an indie designer, and survive. I’ll try to be a bit more active and responsive, but I probably won’t post much in the near future either. I’m focusing on fixing and improving myself right now. Maybe, hopefully one day there will be some new game stuff from me. Thanks for reading this and again, I apologise for all my crap."
For the past couple of years I've been updating my coding skills, learned new game development software and changed my art style to pixel art, and right now I'm working on a new game project which I'm not quite ready to share yet. I don't want the same thing to happen again where I can't deliver on my promises, so I'm keeping things secret for now until I'm sure I can deliver.
Sorry again!

Haha ok! I honestly have no idea what's happening on NG anymore. Gotta get myself familiar with it all over again :P
