I have decided to abandon development for any new content for Yume 2kki and content that I had planned for Collective Unconscious.
I know I said I would make 4 worlds for Yume 2kki before September, but I no longer have the willpower and the motivation to work on the game anymore and no longer wish to work on any eventual worlds that I had in mind for Collective Unconscious once I got unbanned, both for the same following reasons:
One of the main reasons is that despite having been accepted back into the larger part of the YNFG community in general, I feel as if I am still partly unwelcome in those communities considering all my controveries in the past in those from when I was 14, and despite it being more than 3 years ever since said controversies, I simply feel as if my current reputation will never be seperable from my past and I am bound to be forever known for what I did in 2023, and any recent controveries I got into recently only do nothing but make the sentiment worse for me, even leading into some circumstances where I would actively harm myself, and overall it does not improve my motivation to work on anything in the community in general.
Another reason as to why I am quitting is because I have other plans in mind for the future and development for Yume 2kki and Collective Unconscious simply do not fit in said plans. I think that working on those games is not in the path i have in mind for my future and wish to aim for much bigger and fulfilling things in my life to me compared to just developing for said games.
Before I end this post, I want to say a few words addressed to specific people in the community:
To those who I have wronged: I know I have said this multiple times in the past everytime I've gotten myself into trouble, but I am genuinely sorry for any trouble I have caused. I know I will never be able to make up for whatever damages I have done, and I hope that my departure can finally close off this turbulent chapter of mine and the community.
To those who have supported me even in my darkest times: I cannot express how glad I am that I had a bunch of people who helped me out in getting through much of my shortcomings, even some I've personally wronged forgiving me for them, and I could not be any happier for that and I wish you all can hopefully still support me in whatever else I have planned in the future.
To Autumn: I want to thank you for all the help you have given me in the past when I started developing for Yume 2kki and for you and your works always being my main inspiration in what I do. You have made a priceless impact in my life when I stumbled upon your worlds in early 2022 and it's thanks to what you made that I have decided to take this path of expressing myself more creatively. Words simply cannot describe how grateful I am for that and I wish you all the best in whatever else you have planned in the future. Thank you so much for everything.
I may still contribute to some other fangames from time to time but at a much slower pace than it currently is now, and I hope you can still support me in those as well.
With that, I officially bid development for Yume 2kki and Collective Unconscious goodbye.
Thank you.
