Hello old friends and strangers, it's been a while hasn't it? (..◜ᴗ◝..)

It's been so long since I've been on the site. I'm not quite sure where to start. It's just been unfortunate timing on my part that I've started my bot creating journey at a significant turning point of my life.

Moving to a new country, getting engaged, juggling jobs, and finishing my studies creeps up on you in a way you don't expect ૮( ́ ꒳ `)ა ;

But before anything else, I want to start by saying I’m sorry.

I’m deeply sorry for the unfulfilled bots, the unanswered promises, and for worrying anyone who reached out. I haven’t been able to read every message — there are just so many — and I feel truly bad for having neglected this space for so long.

That said... I’m not leaving!

...

At least, not right now. ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?

Because I want to finish the worlds and characters I've written and built before I feel comfortable leaving for good. Leaving with loose ends undone makes me itchy.

At heart, I still love creating fun characters for everyone to chat with — that’s why I started sharing them here in the first place.

With the site having new features and changes, some I've heard were good — some bad (ᴗ,•ᴗ•) — there's now new stuff to mess around with, and I want to make use of those while I'm here.

Here’s what you can expect moving forward

【 I'll be updating / revamping bots — SLOWLY 】

— I'm unfortunately still busy. Very busy. But I'll be updating old bots to have the new Lorebook system! (which is very exciting!) I don’t have a set timeline just yet... but it’s happening! ; (◞‸◟)

【 There’s a whole backlog to post! 】

— Some of them were already finished, really. They're just in the drafts... rotting... all alone. No one to talk to ՞߹ - ߹՞

— Others, especially alternate bot messages, will be updated to existing characters.

— I haven’t decided whether posting everything will be the end, but I hope what’s coming will be worth the wait.

✶

For now, that’s all from me. All I ask for is your patience and understanding.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who’s stuck around. Wishing you all the happiest of holidays ahead (˶ᴖ ᴗ ᴖ˶)!
