retiring from gup

82 bots

what a conquest

to have posted 82 bots out of all 400 gup bots, that is a great deal i could never do again

"And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."

i posted these bots, originally, almost daily, just because i really liked to write about all of this

i still do, sometimes, but i have made so many bots its as if they are just copy and pastes. by far, my favorite was probably working on das universum, the heart and soul poured out of me for it

but ive posted so many bots, literally almost all the characters of the anime besides maybe a dozen or less have been made into tokens. i have gotten about... 650 followers since i began posting these? almost 60% of my bots are just gup bots. so i think its finally time to end this trilogy that lasted me over half a year. and also im a lil sorry for cancelling the last bots of the valentines marathon thingy i did

why am i retiring from gup? ive posted so much i ran out of ideas for all of this. moreover, it appears a lot of people have stopped chatting with them too, but that isn't really important to me. i think the big thing is that — being a creator is kind of like a casino. maybe i'll hit big some day and get 200k messages, maybe its a flop, no matter if i really liked the bot or not. but i really liked making these bots, and girls und panzer eventually would fall repetitive and unmotivating to make at some point

what now?

im NOT retiring entirely. ill be working on other bots from other genres, and ill conquer them too. most likely umamusume and also arknights: endfield. will i stop posting gup bots entirely? i wont, ill most likely revisit it from time to time. i will probably post ONE smut bot for gup (hoshino maybe) when i hit 1000 followers, since i made it for myself but i decided not to post it

whether or not you choose to unfollow, or to stay, thats your choice. but i really appreciate all the support in the past 8 months ive been making these. if u have any questions just drop them down and ill probably answer unless i forgot to lmao

here's a snippet of one of my next bots LMAO

edit: i will also probably change how i make bots. instead of frequent uploads, it will be more spaced out, and take twice or thrice as much time to make per upload. this extra time will be used for quality checks, more greetings and whatnot
