TANK YOU NEWGROUNDS!

First of all, I have to thank this awesome and magnificent community for 1.000 followers! I never thought I would reach this many, it makes me really really happy and motivates me to keep going!

This year has been full of music, I could feel myself improving with every song, I'm still pursuing that dream of becoming a full time videogame/animation composer, so thanks again, one thousand thanks to everyone that keeps helping me achieve that, for real, y'all are AMAZING!


LIFE THIS YEAR

Fortunately, this probably was my best year related to music, not a lot of -jobs- but thanks to Newgrounds and the Frontpages I've been staying afloat in terms of listeners and smaller scale commissions.


I did music for:

Koa: A Gluttonous Wizard (alpha) [check out the OST on Spotify]

Chocupixel [check out the OST on Spotify]

I'm still working on Squirrel Bytes Hyperstacks, I made 8 tracks (and still making more!) this year for them, and I'm super excited to show you guys those songs!

I also made another commissioned track that I still haven't shared here, hopefully soon!


And last but not least, I participated on this year's ADVENT, you can check that out right now! :D


That was pretty much it, not a lot but it was all honest work <3


If you guys want music for your project, I'm open for work!


But now, talking about my [personal] life situation...


This probably was one of the worst years of my life, from start to finish.

I'm emotionally drained, and really tired of so many stuff. I'm officially a dropout student, and I can't really see myself joining back college soon, mainly because i can't really afford it right now, and don't have the sufficient skills to get a scholarship anywhere, but oh well, that can be fixed by being patient and trying again I guess, I just have to wait.


Another thing that happened was that I lost all of my irl friends, not a huge biggie since I hardly shared anything in common with them. I makes me feel alone but nothing I can’t really handle, and thankfully I do have some online friends that I love and support. Which kinda takes me to this other thing, losing a really important friendship. That has me in a state of depression that I can't really explain or move on as easily due to my current emotional state, one day you open your heart and start caring for someone that in the end can easily replace you when they feel complete, or emotionally better in some way. It's scary how you don't even expect depression and it just... hits you, and you are so alone in life that the struggle to get out of that hell-hole is very much real.


But I'm still here to bring you interesting music!


I also should mention that I'm still jumping from place to place, hopefully this year I can land and be stable and get my own place.


INTERESTING MUSIC TO CHECK OUT

First I gotta thank the Newgrounds staff for the Frontpages, every song I uploaded this year was actually Frontpaged! Thank you!


I would say the highlights of the year were:


My song She Storm, which is probably one of the most meaningful songs I've made, it really shows how bad those times were by those experimental and emotional melodies.


Derpi Rush, a hyperactive/chaotic song that makes me happy~ haha, it was made for AND inspired by Cutsu-Art!


And of course Snowygrounds, the song I made for the ADVENT


You can check out my latest song, Goth Pirates! A song inspired by Castle Crashers, and dedicated to Newgrounds <3


COOL ARTISTS TO CHECK OUT!

You guys should check out my broskis from RadTunez

Hyenaedon

Hypervolt

Egguterra

AvariArts

and HOJL


I've been listening to TeraVex, Milkypossum and Troisnyx a lot! Check them out if you haven't!


Shoutout to TomFulp and Waterflame!


I think that's it for now, thank you everyone again for all the support, may the next year be better for all of us~

Take care. Times are rough, but hope always leads us into a better future. It will be okay.

very well said, thank you!

Hey man, sorry to hear about your personal situation. There's not much more I can say or do right now other than tell you to not lose sight of the things that are really important in your life - it's up to you to decide which ones those are - and be honest with yourself on how you feel about them.

If you act accordingly, things will eventually work out fine. Take care dude.

thank you, I appreciate it

Life always gets better but it also gets worse. Don't listen to people telling you that life is short because life is long! There's always time for more adventures and friends. You just need the right outlook or mindset to pass the time efficiently and you seem to have a mature perspective that will help manage the challenges. Sorry your currently dealing with anguish. Friends come and go, that's a fact. Unfortunately you can't control people or make them love you back. When they disappear it's because they have their own adventures to experience, try to feel happy for them.

This isn't a very helpful response but I'm sure you'll live long enough to eventually appreciate the feelings your experiencing. Hardship breeds wisdom and you seem wise beyond your years. Heres to another 21 years and your next 1,000 followers :3

Thank you Quarl, it means a lot!

Man, gotta say that you are a big inspiration for me! since i joined NG, i was just listening one of your songs that were frontpaged (which was norhstar), and since then, i saw your incredbile skills on music...

i may have not followed through all the releases, since i left the internet a while to take a breath, but i gotta say you are one of the best artists (if not, the best) i've listened this year.

and about your personal situation, i know i'm just a stranger on a site typing words, but hard times never lasts forever though! things can get better some moment, and i really wish you the best, as said on the other comment here, life is long! there is a lot more to happen, moments to feel and etc...

i hope you reach more milestones! since you got 1k fans and more stuff... you for sure will reach them!

Aw thank you! I’m glad I can be an inspiration, it really makes me feel better~

Muchísimo ánimo, vendrán mejores tiempos, ya lo verás

Muchas gracias!

sounds like hard times are really getting you down. But im glad to hear your powering through them. Best of luck in the future, freindo. :)

Thank you! Good luck to you too~

Not gonna lie I have sick respect for you, getting all the tunes out while still being depressed. Its good that you can put your emotions trough music, instead of letting your emotions be a road block against your creativity. Keep it up, hope you'll get better soon :)

Aw thank you! Yeah, I always try to show and ease my emotions through my music, it's very therapeutic~

while i cant relate, i can say this much, times can be rough, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. and while im christian, and you may not be, but god always has a plan for you. hope all goes well.
