If you're far too busy to read this, look at 'Notes and Credits'. I've got a summary of what I want to say there. Don't use that as an excuse to avoid reading all of this. THE RAMBLINGS: I'm at a point in my life we're I've peaked as an individual. I've mastered the art of studying, I'm very optimisitc, I'm healthy, I have strong social skills and I'm in a relationship. I'm a very different individual from my roleplaying days on this site, and I'm proud of that. It's just in, what, 2 years I'm going to be enrolled at a University. Yes, I really am that old. Scratch has been around for a good amount of my childhood, but years ago I decided I'd leave. SSBG is the only thing that brought me back here. And yet again, I wish to move on. And due to the difficulties that arise with a massive project and trying to get work done, its just not worth it to develop this project on a site like the. I wanted to make SSBG to express myself, and I feel like that flare to express it has dimished. I can represent that flare by creating a YouTube channel and talking about what I love. I'd rather apply my skills and express myself like that rather than stressing myself out over this project. I'm not dropping the project. If I ever were to, I'd release as much info as I could about development so you can understand that. Y'know, two years ago there was a 'great change'. It was a term I used to describe one big thing that changed who I was every year for a while now. Usually it could be switching friend groups and whatnot, but back in 2020, I had grown immensly as an individual, something I'm very proud of. Recently, in those 2 weeks I was developing SSBG, I didn't have the need to work on anything. For the first time in a long time, schoolwork or projects didn't have to make me feel fulfilled as individual. I could truly relax. And I discovered that I'd rather work towards building a Youtube channel over working on a Scratch fan games of all things. I mean, I could do what I was best at and express myself through that. The show is about me and my dog, where I'm his only employee and we run an in world show. It's a bit like Scott the Woz and plenty of Youtubers I've grown to love. My first video is New Super Mario Bros. actually, but I'm still writing the script. Think of it like this: Which is better: - Putting Jibanyan in a questionable fan game - Review my favourite game Yo-Kai Watch 1, completely breaking it down over the course of 2 hours You see why I choose one over the other? It's just SSBG is more physical than that, but coming back to what I've said earlier, the identity is falling thin. I feel the roster has gone from a colourful selection to veterans with a few outstanding picks. And whilst I respect Spybaz entirely, and I will say I've bothered him too much, the project demands more. That's just how time and resource consuming making a Smash Game is. There is no way that It'll get done unless I dedicate every sweat of my being into to it.
No, it's not cancelled! Just development has paused on my end. SUMMARY OF POINTS (It may look like a lot, but since scratch has these tiny boxes it does...): Put simply, SSBG is a time consuming project that overtakes my life, and I've grown to dislike it. I can nail what I love down to a couple of series, and express that through a Youtube show, which is where my skills reside- the Film and Television industry, which in 3 years I'll be starting a Uni course for (Most likely). Why do I need to make SSBG? Because I promised myself I'd get the job done this time. I've grown so much as a person, I've not only caught up, but have surpassed the development people have throughout their childhoods. There's a lot that isn't known of me for obvious reasons, but I can finally say I'm 100% proud of who I am. I'm not depressed or sensitive anymore, and I have strong pride in myself as a person. I'm very glad that there's a community that has faith in SSBG, but I need to listen to my heart and move on. I am taking a break. A big one. I'm not coming back unless the project progresses to a point where I'll need to come back. This is a temporary farewell. I'll pop in from time to time, but that's the best I'll do.
