in commemoration of the new collab with rrthiel,

these past few months have been pretty rough for me. i've been dealing with a lot of self-doubt and self-denial in fear of coming off as too arrogant, and my confidence was shot. all my self-sabotaging and people pleasing tendencies started to show up in that time. i could still write music and do it well, but for a while it felt like there wasn't much purpose behind it.

thiel and i working on 'look at me' for 2-ish months and finally releasing publicly made me remember why i was here in the first place. it was never truly about the fame, or the money, as much as i enjoyed these things. i enjoyed working with thiel, as much as we both were busy. we ended up with something that left a mark, and i think that's what matters.

i thank everyone for the support throughout these rough 6-7 years. feel free to listen to the song on thiel's channel!

edit: a lot of stress has built up from me doing freelance work so i have been very particular about how i have been writing music, i want to make a good impression for my clients so i don't let myself slack off haha. though sometimes being good at your job makes you very lonely

i think out of respect for everyone who hasn't played both chapters of deltarune 3 + 4 i'll be adding short spoiler warnings for maybe things that happen around the middle of the chapters and long ones for the heavy spoiler stuff like secret bosses and chapter final bosses. i'll probably stop adding them after june 19 passes... coincidentally that's my birthday so i definitely won't forget

i have been slowly preparing something behind the scenes... but once that comes out and april starts coming around this channel will be on hiatus until further notice. mainly because i have vgm work to do and frankly i haven't been working much on that and instead had ran into, many a occasion of art block and writer's block

the deadline is pretty far away all things considered, but i set a personal deadline even earlier than that just so i wouldn't be rushing things out the door and still have time to actually prepare for any song changes/ bug fixes etc.; meaning most if not all the songs needed will be written and arranged long before the deadline approaches too late for me to get work done

i again kindly thank you all for the support and i am excited to release what i have publicly, but there is still so much recording and production to do that it'll have to wait. hopefully i can get it out around the end of march! i've also been trying to take more care of my personal mental health and... weirdly have started watching smosh. these few days have made me very anxious and tired but i have been hanging on, i'll share my thoughts in the video descriptions once they release ^^"
