Hey everyone, I wanted to make a bit of a personal update.

I’m going through a pretty massive depression spike right now, and honestly, I’m not really sure when I’m going to feel like myself again. I’m still trying to make things, but my motivation and confidence have taken a pretty serious hit lately.

A few of my recent bots have performed quite a bit worse than I expected, while some that I honestly considered more like afterthoughts ended up doing surprisingly well. It’s made me realize that I’m not really sure what people actually want from me anymore.

So I wanted to ask: what kinds of bots would you like to see me focus on?

I used to primarily make horror bots, which is probably still the genre I enjoy the most, but a lot of those bots ended up being removed by moderation. Since then I’ve been trying different things without really feeling like I’ve found a particular style or direction.

The image situation has also been a huge headache. I keep running into automated moderation that flags images as depicting “real people,” even when the images are obviously AI-generated characters. Having bots get taken down over that has made the whole process pretty frustrating.

I’m not saying I’m definitely quitting or anything. I honestly just don’t know what direction I want to go in right now, or even how much creative energy I’m going to have over the next little while.

So if you enjoy my bots and want to see me keep making them, tell me what you actually want to see. Horror? Fantasy? Sci-fi? Romance? Weird stuff? More character-driven scenarios? Something completely different?

Even if I don’t respond to everyone, I’ll be reading the suggestions. Knowing that people actually have things they want to see from me would probably help more than you realize.

Thanks for sticking around.
