hello people of scratch, i hope you're doing well! i stopped here to visit the site that i once loved, and it makes me happy that you guys still enjoy my content. 01 | where im at in life I just finished year 8, and a lot has changed for me. i have been quite successful at school and soon i'll be doing my exams, after a year or two. i have found new interests that i love, like bullet journaling, plant care, and learning new skills. i am also learning python now. 02 | side projects I have stopped working on plush island (will not be released here by the way) because it drained too much of my energy and i no longer enjoy game development anymore. i'm really sorry if you are disappointed, but it's time for me to move on. i will be starting a new channel that isn't quite directed to my current audience, which is abt bullet journaling and academics. 03 | Future plans My focus is no longer on my game (Plush Island) or scratch, because I have shifted it towards academics and my school life (you should too). as i said, ill also be working on my channel (@the_jade_diaries on youtube) so stay tuned! 04 | advice the reason i stopped being online is because of the state of the website, scratch lost its charm and i didn't enjoy making things anymore. i realised i wasn't making content for myself, but to please the social network and for competition. this site has become far toxic and unsafe for you all, so i encourage you to move on and explore other interests. if you can't, remember to not stress yourself out making content. stay safe people <3 - April maybe i'll start a new acc who knows
