OldSunset will come back (Patreon)
Content
A few months ago, I made the decision to put OldSunset on hiatus. This was part of my personal commitment to prove my worth, especially since just removing the Arsil module from my Get Out project wasn't enough. However, I realized that giving up on this project wasn't a wise choice, especially because it doesn't really reflect who I am. It only deprives people who were genuinely excited to experience this map.
Upon reflection, looking back, and correcting my course, I sought a way to engage with fellow creators without perpetuating conflicts. Hence, I decided to return to OldSunset. Today, with more experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
I'm reaching out to each of the creators who have fantastic content that I wish to include in the map. I'm reaching out and offering to link their pages if they're not comfortable with their content being shared from my Mods folder. By obtaining their prior authorization, launching the project will not only be more effective but also safer. And if any issues arise down the line, I'll have the endorsement of these creators to maintain the integrity of my work. It was a reasonable and intelligent decision, especially to avoid any missteps with other creators I admire. That said, I've also been including a notepad with a direct link for download and to the creator's page, even when they agree to have their content in the Mods folder. It's only fair! Of course, I'll also ensure to keep this content in a folder labeled with the creator's name.
Regarding those who criticized or attacked me (I use this term because it's how I felt amidst everything that transpired), I've been gradually reaching out to share my side of the story, provide context, and if they're willing, find resolution and move forward. I'm aware that we can't change what people think, so for those who want to maintain a negative impression of me, there might not be much that can be done. However, it's how I handle this situation that determines its significance. I no longer wish to spend a minute reacting or being apprehensive about these creators. Despite anger being a potent tool to work with, it consumes a significant amount of energy and requires constant combustion. This leads to exhaustion and ends up consuming more than it produces. I've had the capacity to achieve things I never thought possible, but it came at a cost. Now, I want to regain my pace and continue producing, without feeling the need to do so as a response to something or someone.
With that said, I'd like to express my gratitude to all who stood by me through these challenges, who continued to send positive vibes, and who were part of this journey. There are battles we can choose to let go of, especially for the well-being of our projects and our personal lives.
As I return to OldSunset, I'm not only going to address various details that have become evident in improving the world and making it more functional, but I'll also finally conclude this ambitious project that has taken years of dedication. I'll find satisfaction in that and then move on to something new.
However, I don't promise that there will be monthly releases of the map. I'm still in communication with various creators, and this takes time and requires patience. But I will make it a point to share every small progress with you all! Wishing everyone a great week ahead, and let's move forward!
