Not even gonna mock up a decent project for this because it's 12:32 in the morning and I am tired. But after giving things some thought, I'm cutting my plans to stay here short. Well over a year ago I made a project saying I was retiring after finishing a certain group of projects. The only one on that list that wasn't scrapped is Memer Saga. And while during weak moments I've considered scrapping that series and just making a project with all the lore, I refuse to do that as I quite frankly haven't felt so passionate about something I've made in ages. It's the type of thing I think of when bored or in the mood to be productive. And while doing the same process of drawing out a slide, rinse, and repeat really wears a man down after awhile, I will see this series through. I'm literally making a Christmas special for the series even though it missed its deadline and is spiraling out of control in terms of length. However, after Memer Saga is done, I intended to make one final game: THEPARAKEE01: Ultimate Edition. It was going to be a fantastic mix between all of my best projects, and conclude everything I've ever made really. However, A fun little game called Retaking the Airship taught me that overambition and the Scratch editor ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO TOGETHER AND NEVER SHOULD. So instead of making this big bad final game, I am choosing to end my Scratch career once Memer Saga is done. I'm also developing my *true* final game now, Hobo Man R. It will release before Memer Saga ends. Once Memer Saga ends, I'll make a project where you can find every episode, where I might remaster the older and now outdated looking episodes. Maybe not for that last part, too early to tell. I've just come to the conclusion that I need to be realistic. I've been putting off learning a game engine where I can make games that are monetizable and with much better capabilities than here, in favor of working on Scratch, something that will get me nowhere in life. And I'm at a point where I need to start focusing on an actual career in game design over maintaining a Scratch profile that currently has maybe seven consistent enjoyers, if that even makes sense. I'm so tired while writing this. Anyway, TLDR: I'm scrapping Ultimate Edition because Memer Saga and Hobo Man R are already going to push me into the middle of next year or later, and I'd rather finish the things I have passion about and finally move on to make a real career for myself(or so I hope). Memer Saga and Hobo Man R are at no risk of being scrapped, no matter what I will be seeing them through. The ONLY other thing I will begin to work on in this timeframe leading to my retirement aside from what I've mentioned is a final update for Retaking the Airship, along with a port for it. As much as I kinda despise that game now, it's still my responsibility. But those are the ONLY three big things I will work on. Anything else will be minor with a capitol M. Sorry if this news makes anyone mad or upsets anyone, but the truth is I barely care anymore. I'm passionate about very little this site offers me now, and once my works are done, there's just no reason for me to stick around.
Read the above. It's 12:48 now. Took way too long to type and I'm tired. Yipee.
