Only sometimes late!

I've got a lengthy announcement for you today, so I'll get right to it.

I'll start by dropping the bomb now: after months of consideration, I have decided that I will not continue working on SFM projects. This decision comes primarily from two factors, namely lack of time and lack of motivation (although there are other lesser ones involved as well). I'll summarize what this means for the channel:

- The decision to put in any additional animation work is effective immediately, which means that A Pair of Moronic Mercenaries 4 is now cancelled. However, the maps I made for it will still be released to the public for both SFM and Garry's Mod whenever I have the time to do that.

- Any and all existing videos will remain on the YouTube channel for time being. While I'm not particularly fond of YouTube as a platform these days (which is one of the lesser factors contributing to the decision), the lack of a viable European alternative will keep everything there for the time being. If this ever changes, I'll let you know in advance and tell you where you can find the videos in the future!

- I will still manage the YouTube channel like usual, so don't worry - I have no plans to abandon it. I don't know if I will upload additional videos to it or what they will be like; odds are they will be related to my future creative endeavors (more on that later in this post).

- From now on, I will publish news posts on the Community tab of the channel whenever there is something noteworthy to report instead of once every month. This group will also remain functional.

Now, I'd like to thank all of you for the last 15 years - I consider myself extremely lucky for having such a dedicated and supportive fan base, which is even more rare nowadays than it was back in 2010. I'd be lying if I said your positive feedback wasn't one of the main reasons for remaining motivated for so long, but now the time has come to move on to something else. Still, I am beyond grateful that you allowed me to fulfill one of my dreams, and hope that you had your entertainment needs satisfied in exchange!

So, what's next for me? Right now, it seems that mod creation will be my next creative endeavor. Some of you may remember from a few earlier YouTube news posts that I'd been making Fallout 4 mods in my spare time; I've found it both interesting and within my skillset, so I think I'll continue going down that road for now. If you're curious about what I've made already, take a look at my stuff here[next.nexusmods.com]:

Again, thank you so much for everything - I can safely say that I couldn't have done it without you. It may be an end of an era, but it certainly isn't the end of the road.

Stay safe out there!
