Just hopping on a trend. No shame in just joining in on a trend. It’s just something that people do for popularity or for fun. It’s not a bad thing. But then why do I feel like such a sellout? For doing a trend like everyone else, just for some potential recognition And even if it was added it would be buried under the pile of games everyone else have made too. So are my efforts for nothing? Doing a trend for the mere thought of being known When I may only be recognized by the people that curate the studio And even then I would still be forgotten I don’t know if I hate myself Or if I’m disappointed in my choices For I am the only one that I can be mad or disappointed at for my actions and choices If there’s no shame in hopping on a trend Then why do I feel it? If it’s just for fun Then why do I not enjoy the thought of this? Using my studios name and my ideas For a trend. A trend that no one may even remember in a month That no one may even think of after it’s done. But my creation and the shame with it will still be. And even if I deleted it I would still know what I had done. Do not take this message as an insult to the amazing people who put passion into these things Nor is this message to insult the people who create these trends. But a message to show my dissatisfaction in my actions And the feeling of shame I have brought upon Dont glide! Studios and CoolGuyGames. But I may be the only one that feels that shame And I may be the only one that sees this message. And I know that it seems rushed, the project almost unfinished in a way. But it is. And for I sit writing this Knowing that I made the decisions of which I disgrace. And I know it may not seem like a big deal. But to me I feel like I can do much better And that this game does not represent the studios I curate, or my projects in general. For the never ending climb for the hope of a fleeting second of popularity and recognition To grow and spiral into something great is shared by many. And I am another face in that crowd. Another person climbing that ladder. For the hope of reaching that destined fame Is a climb built on a ladder that you create and build And it can be made out of wood and strong metal. Or it can be twigs and glass. You choose what you make. And this step on my ladder Is one built fast and made weak For the ambition in a project strengthens that step The time put into the project makes it last And the desire to make something you love is what helps build that ladder. For repeating the same step may work But if the step is unreliable then it is a poor choice And if it’s to try to recreate the popularity of the project then it will not fit. For the holes of progress on the ladder grow, and you fill them with those steps. And with each step you take and with each creation you make The holes in that ladder will not bother you. But will still require that same love and care as for the previous ones. And if you fall off of your ladder Wether it be from a unstable step, or a weak one. You can always climb back up. And learn from your mistakes. And maybe just maybe, you can inspire someone thats just starting their ladder, to have determination and confidence for the steps they create too. And to always feel as if everything they make can be an improvement in some way, and to be treated as a learning experience to grow. And to become someone amazing And make something great But let this message not only be for coders, but for people with passion and ambition I’m talking about artists, animators, musicians, mechanics, writers, and yes, coders too. Follow your dreams and desires. And always love yourself for you. Sincerely supercoolguy28.
Yes I wrote I giant poem/ motivational message on a scratch game, yes It’s not that serious, however it’s also goofy to put something serious on a silly game No you don’t have to read all of that Am I gonna do something like this again? Nah I don’t really like trends
