Hey all,


Hope 2023 was a good year for you and hope you're enjoying 2024 so far, I just wanted to yap a bit about stuff and things


Sadly I wasn't able to get as much done during 2023 as I had originally hoped. Didn't even finish making a game, though I did start a few, I kept getting snagged along the way. That isn't to say I didn't get anything done though


The website [StormRooster.com] has been doing well. I've been adding new pages at a steady rate and I have a bunch more planned as well. Apparently it's doing okay with pages views as well but I have no idea how accurate those numbers are, not that it matters that much as the website isn't monetized but hey, maybe someday it will be


My game streams are doing pretty good. I recently moved them over to youtube [@ursafrankgaming] due to twitch basically crapping itself in front of everyone (there are also major behind the scenes problems as well from what I've heard). I've never gotten many viewers on my stream regardless but I mostly do it just for the fun of it at this point anyway


In terms of art, I haven't done much and to be frank I'd really fallen out of practice but I have taken steps to fix that. I've been doing sketches not every day but more days then not. Practice is important after all and after doing that for even a few months, I can already feel a lot of that rust falling off but I've still got a bit to go. Every once and a while I'll do a sketch I really like and I make a more finalized image I can upload. Which should hopefully happen more often with said practice


With 2024 getting started I do have a few thing planned for this year. Along with the already mentioned art I want to start uploading drawing from my old therapy book (both on newgrounds and my website) because it annoyingly contains some of my best work so look forward to that over the coming months


And I REALLY REALLY need to make games again because despite my troubles, it's something I genuinely love doing


All being said and done, I hope the few of you that see this have an amazing 2024. After all we've been through, we all deserve it

Man has it been a while since I've done anything on here. Like 5 or 6 years now? And boy what a while ride those years were... but not the good kind of wild ride more like the " I'll be living with the mental scares for the rest of my life and have been in actual therapy for years" kind of wild ride. But nothing worth looking back on for now, instead I want to fix my shit and build up a better possible future, or at least a more enjoyable one


See, about a year ago I started making plans to work on myself and actually begin doing stuff again. The first thing I did was start live streaming (work on my social skills, anxiety, actually play some of the games I've been putting off my entire life), a youtube channel to upload said streams and la few months ago I finally made a website where I can put my thoughts and projects as well to use as my personal portfolio that I can continuinly build apon (it still has a long way to go for now)


StormRooster.com


I've also been slowly getting back into doing art again and want to begin show casing it (both on my website and to communities that would care for it). This is part of the reason I'm want to start reviving my old newgrounds account, the other part being that this is one of the best communities I have ever had the opportunity to be apart of, even if only in a very small way


I am slowy getting back into programming as well so hopefully I will be uploading games at some point in the year but I dont want to hurry it


I think it may have been a mistake to try and write this at 3am, I'm half alseep but hopefully what I've writen is at least somewhat understandable. Regardless, here's to the future
