Wowie... I still remember when I started working on my E.C remake back in December last year, not knowing what pandora's box I just opened. -w-
The title says everything, just remember and write down "the good ol' days" and enter 2025 with an open mind for improvement.
I guess I'll have to go first... And remember that the title is also just a suggestion, if you think that something may fit, then write it down! It doesn't matter if it doesn't exactly follows the idea of this thread. It's not that serious really. (I really hope this doesn't count under the "forum games" thingy for some unknown reason...
)
So, I'll start with what I achieved:
That was quite a lot of stuff... But enough about me. (kinda) Now I'll tell what I'm grateful for:
For 2025 I wish to get rid of any conflicts I had and becoming a clean slate to get a head start without worrying about things that are in the past. And to do that I want to say to anyone that I've hurt in anyway: I'm sorry, I don't want to continue any conflicts, all they do is spread people apart and I want to just have a good time here without making any enemies and just being able to interact with people here in peace.
See y'all in 2025... approximately 4 hours from now! (At least for me... -.-) I wish everyone a head start for the new year and remember that as long as you won't stop running, you can achieve great things! Climb the ladder and don't let yourself fall into any anxieties or the mistakes you already made!

So, I'll start with what I achieved:
-I started going outside more often, mainly OUTSIDE of summer. And I pretty much started exercising too, but not in a grindy way, but instead in a more fun way like going on a bike or (my second or maybe even first favorite.) roller blades.
-I started being more open to people in a variety of ways, and the best thing is that it's not exclusively online! :D
-I stopped being THAT emotionally cold compared to 2020 me.
-I stopped being afraid of having actual meaningful relation ships. (Mainly online though, I still have to climb this ladder in real life. -.-)
-I started interacting with people online more often, and not even for favors at this point. It's maybe 5% of all the times I interacted with someone on the internet.
-I guess I finally started psychologically healing after that 2020 fiasco everyone experienced.
-I managed to release 3 full addons, including all the updates these addons received too.
-I garnered a full number of 30,372 downloads... including the addons released in 2023... I don't tend to care about stats and stuff, but wow... I never thought that I would ever hit numbers like these... O_O"
-I started my own small youtube channel. (In which I post monthly but still. -v-)
-On which I garnered 7,588 views and 33 subs. :P (At least that's more reasonable for what I'm doing... Still, thanks for all the support me.
)
-I managed to help... too many people to count nor remember, but maybe around 10. In which 1 I managed in a really major way. (I know you're reading this now... and you exactly know which person I'm talking about...
)
-I started being more of a creator and less of just a simple consumer. (But there's nothing bad in being a consumer, I personally just felt like I want to do something myself too instead of just eating everything up and doing nothing meaningful with my skills. -_-)
-I managed to get into the school I wanted. :D
-I took a really big advantage of this year's summer for actually having fun worthy of a 2000s childhood.
-I learned how to ride on roller blades. (To the point of me being to probably hit 20 km/h when on a dry ground. >:3)
-I learned how to make pretty good sprites and overall digital art.
-I learned both in and outs of Zone builder AND Ultimate Zone Builder in a single year. :D
-I learned how to music, for dummies. :P

That was quite a lot of stuff... But enough about me. (kinda) Now I'll tell what I'm grateful for:
-Having a platform to share (what I consider to be) a neat piece of digital art and my love for more than just the Sonic franchise. Heck, maybe just for the love of creation I guess. :P
-Having people that support me, both here and in my private life.
-Being able to correct the mistakes I did.
-Learning how to forgive.
-Wanting myself to improve and be better.
-Still being able to experience and create good, despite how dangerous world had became.
-Having the people I currently have in my life.
-Becoming the person I actually want to be and act like.
-Being able to support others.
-The kindness of people.
And now that's kinda risky to mention that many people, but I hope that no one will be mad because of that. (I still have trauma from using @everyone at a discord server for goofs back in 2021...
)
I want to give a personal shout out to:
@El-fire - been there for me since the very start.
@InfernoMelon - A cool guy, gave me a chance to actually make my own sprites. :3 (The rest of the lore is in his message here.)
@GingerSRB2 - Another cool guy, 1 out of idk how much main supporters of me. :3
@RubySpins - Let me use his sprites to make my E.C remake more lively, also a really good mapper from what I’ve seen.
@Jammin' - Gave me a goal to work towards when updating my E.C remake.
@Dark94 - Helped with making a revamped moveset for character I’m a spriter for. Also helped me with the technical SRB2 issues I had.
@*GOOFYRAT!* - Yet another main supporter of me, a really cool guy. :3
@GomaTheMascar - Randomly decided to check up on me when I had issues with UZB. Really cool guy too.
@yfyfyfyfyfy - Gave me a goal to work towards when remaking still w.i.p v2 of SSZ.
@The Unknown Watcher - A cool guy. And cool guys are cool. :>
@LegoTails - Makes videos showcasing the demo builds of my SA2 GHZ remake.
@lol guy - Pretty much shaped the visual identity act of N.E.C looks like. (I hope he actually played this stage in the end, he was looking forward to it but he left since august. :C)
@MrBoingBD - Was supporting me when making N.E.C! (Whenever you will get unbanned, just know that I’m still waiting for the review of N.E.C
)
for being absolutely cool guys that influenced/helped me or did anything that turned out in me becoming a better person or becoming better at my craft. :3
I'm sorry if I missed someone who had a big impact on me, but a human memory is pretty... weak. -.- I had to go through all of my threads to remember maybe 25% of all the people here. :C (And please don't beat me up for all these mentions... o_o" And sorry? If someone got offended/annoyed by it? Somehow? I just don't wanna risk it.
