Hey guys! Soo.. the year is ending, huh? 😅
2025 has been such a special year for me, it was certainly a lot more eventful than 2024 and I have thoroughly enjoyed all the things I have done this year!
Because of the year ending, I have decided to make this blog a lot more special! I want to talk about this year as a retrospective of sorts! I will be talking about what I've done for my hobbies this year, and what plans I have for next year!!
First of all. I have finally concluded my Image Animation series that I've been working on since 2023. This series has meant soo much to me, but I am finally ready to grow out of it and try out new things! I'll mention that it's already been 1 year since both the release of Foo-La-La! Revisioned and A Frosty Cold Night; the final image animations I've made before concluding the series. I've already made a project for Foo-La-La! Revisioned. But not mentioned anything yet for the latter. So I will be dedicating the next paragraph to my final IA!
I will admit, A Frosty Cold Night is probably the closest thing I made to an image animation that properly matched the ideas in my head. I've always wanted them to be extremely animated and lively, and this IA is one of the most satisfying ones I've made! The ending is also a reference to the two dimensions thing I talked about in my 2nd anniversary retrospective. Scratch Cat was in the wrong dimension so I decided to reference it directly in the IA! This is also confirmation that Frosty Cold Night takes place before Kleptospira. Awesome!
I've also tried work on actual animation stuff! I've made 3 animation segments for two different MAPs, and am currently working on an animation for the Dinosaurchestra 20th anniversary movie! (And also a Lifetime Achievement Award MAP for its 10th anniversary!). I've had dreams to work on something like this back in 2023 ! And I am soo ready to work on these upcoming projects!
Youtube has been very strange for me, to say the least. I tried to create a video every month for the whole year, but I failed because of some troubles in February. I sorta neglected my channel until I decided to create a video about a Cut the Rope Kaizo level. Which blew up in the algorithm and gained me like +300 subscribers. Because of this, I have been working hard on Cut the Rope: Ascension to Heaven! The mod itself is actually released right now! I just have to verify all levels so I can turn it into a video and such. More info in the roadmap segment!
Yeah I've been learning a lot of stuff in school! I've been on the Java grind learning how to create apps with Android Studio! It's actually extremely similar to C#, which I am already very familiar with! So I was able to grasp a lot of the basics of the language. The hardest part is memorizing how to app stuff and such, but I got StackOverflow for that!
The Ascension to Heaven project has also helped me understand deeper concepts in C# as well. Such as using delegates and file-reading and whatnot! Who knew that ZeptoLab had such messy code though..
Aside from that, I have been boosting up my confidence in creating silly neocities websites for people to see! Just recently, I have finished work on shockdrivesacar.neocities.org. It's a small lil' project that I have been working on whenever I have the free time to do so at school! And it's honestly making me soo confident in creating more sites like these! (Though I have noticed that I do not have the ability to use Base64 for new websites. Sorry Mr. Neocities owner)
All of this to hopefully fill up my portfolio that I have been working on
Been trying out LMMS again, cooking up some new music which might interest you guys! Won't promise on anything, but I am enjoying this project a lot!
I've been having soo much fun at iACADEMY Nexus! But as much as I enjoy it, I know that I would have to enroll in a college soon. Which is why I have been studying hard to apply to the top colleges in the Philippines! Hopefully able to become successful in life from it!
I also have to worry about getting a job, which is why I have been working on filling up my Portfolio / CV for 2026 ! I have some Scratch stuff included that I don't really wanna include, but I am hoping my future projects could help phase them out!
I also broke my old phone, bought a new one, had my new one stolen, and repaired my old phone. So everything I did in my phone from September to December is pretty much gone now :/
As for some other stuff. I've said in a previous update blog that anything Bop related is my newest hyperfixation. I've already talked about shockdrivesacar.neocities.org, but I have also made 2 Girl's Night mods and made a Cut the Rope Kaizo level dedicated to The Seeds of Danger for the AtH Mod! I am pretty satisfied with how this hyperfix is going soo far! :3
Uhh.... I replaced the front page gif in my website... and added an About Me section xD
Now it's time I talk about what I want to do for the next year, and all the cool stuff I have planned for you guys!
Now as the year is starting to close, I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this year! Mainly my parents, my cousins, and friends on discord, and all you guys who visited this website and whatnot! I am hopeful that you all have a bright year ahead of you! Because I am very hopeful of mine!
