I don't think I've formally explained where I've been since taking a step back from Scratch, so I figured I could do that while also reposting some music again :3 So back around 2020-2021, after I graduated high school, I started to move away from Scratch. My friends and I had been victims of harassment and b!g0try on and off the site, and I wanted a fresh start. I created @ParadigmGames, where I had moved development of "GSE Level Editor." The name is pretty self explanatory if you're at all familiar with the "Genesis Sonic Engine" here on scratch; it was a vaguely Mario Maker-esque level editor for GSE. Together with @XStables, development on GSE Level Editor continued until we split into two directions; Sonic Construction (XStables' version,) and my "true vision" for the project, Sonic Maker Online. Sonic Maker Online and Sonic Construction had both been moved to itch.io due to size constraints on Scratch, and began using TurboWarp features. I continued Sonic Maker Online's development for quite some time while also working on my music/remixes. Sonic Maker Online eventually reached a point where I realized I had made a crucial mistake in the development process; I hadn't planned. I had just added, added, added features without optimization, proper frameworks, etc and it devolved into spaghetti code. I decided to shelf SMO, and begin development on Sonic Maker 2. Sonic Maker 2 had more efficient scripting, a completely revamped UI, new music/remixes, and more. Unfortunately, as of now I have no plans on returning to SM2, as I no longer wish to develop full projects using such a limited, inefficient engine. In mid 2023 I took the next steps into my music career and released my first original EP, "breakwave." Later that same year, I released my first album "new message:" with STRAWBERRY*BRAINROT (later retitled to 5000ug) being the lead single. By late 2023, a second more refined album, based on my current life experiences at the time, was released. This album is titled "Strawberry Hearts," and pulls a lot of inspiration from my then-fresh relationship issues. 2023 was closed out with an EP titled "DECEMBER," which, of course, released in December. It was 6 tracks of a much darker, trap/hip-hop inspired sound (think Ramirez or $B beats.) This is one of my personal favorite releases of mine :3 2024 saw two singles release, ">>decay" and "Character Select." As well as working on my own original music, I've also continued working on Sonic OST remixes, such as the ones recently posted here!! Soooo yeah!! GSE Level Editor, Sonic Maker Online, Sonic Maker 2, Sonic remixes and my own original music are some of the things I've been doing over the years, on top of some unfinished/secret projects waiting behind the scenes :) idrk how to end this but thanks for reading!!!! ily!!! <3!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED.
