Hey Update:
So... Silenced Realities.
What’s going to happen to it?
I plan to keep Silenced Realities as a side project Collide will continue to be my main project.
Why can’t I find Silenced Realities on your page anymore?
I offloaded it. It’s not deleted. It’s offline as of now.
Why did I offload Silenced Realities?
Well I’ve been digging and working on culture of a world ever since Collide came out and I had to make one for Jericho, meaning I needed to take an in-depth look at what Cultural Appropriation is.
And here’s a video of a girl explaining the appropriation of Asian cultures that made me realize that Silenced Realities is in need of an edit, where the culture isn’t blatantly ripped off; https://youtu.be/vKDwzRjCn7g
I do plan to keep the Japanese and Hindi aesthetics, but I plan to make the designs more original.
Think Avatar: The Last Airbender, inspired by culture but not stolen from.
Also, I will do a lot more research on the clothing, art forms, etc.
Cultural appropriation is something that has only come to my attention in recent time and I genuinely care about this issue. So I plan to rework the cultural aspect of this series.
How will these changes effect Silenced Realities after the edit?
Really not by much.
I will work on the designs to be less of a rip-off of the original culture, however, the plot will continue as normal.
