I don't know how to explain this but if you haven't heard of the current Forsaken drama about lawsuits and stuff, evil owner who is very bad (I don't feel like mentioning their name), COULD have a possible chance of winning the lawsuit. And if they somehow manage to win, then I will not be writing any future Forsaken books.
          	Also goes for the same towards Dandy's World drama right now too or forever potentially fyi. I'm only announcing this because if Hytoko and Basil lose the case then I'm going to completely drop any future Forsaken books since the game will be owned by the very bad person.
          	So, to sum this up: If Hytoko and Basil lose the case then I will not be making any more Forsaken related books. 
          	And the other reason why I'm sharing this is to say to please share some games if it does come to that, then I would like your readers game suggestions that I could write a book about or what you'd like to see.
          	
          	Most of the games that I play don't really have any lore/characters that I can use to write books about so that's why I'm asking if you guys or gals have any hidden gems that have one or the other.
          	(Thank you if you read this, I know I've been asking for game suggestions a lot so, I'm sorry about that.)

@WingsOfAdventure I forgot to clarify that I meant the whole adding lore yourself thing was just a suggestion you don’t have to do it

Like the starting plot in my fic was that roblox devs were going missing so this group of friends steal the SFOTH swords to power a portal they built because they thought that they could potentially find Shedletsky through his connection to them (the swords) but stuff goes wrong and things happen, when all that stuff didn’t happen in the game

Ah yes.. The pain of drawing digitally using a mouse. I prefer to make a model in Roblox Studio or in a game then just outline and copy from there, I don't even use ibis paint x... Though when it comes to traditional art, I like to have a reference. That's about it for me. (Idk why I shared this :sob:)
          
          Btw do you guys have any art style recommendations (I've been only using the blocky art style for most traditional art that I've done, but I don't necessarily like using it, because what if... Oh, I don't know, I want to draw Finn from Dandy's World or something like that. It wouldn't really fit the vibe I guess)

@Rixed_d I got nothing, no experience with art.

@Rixed_d I couldn’t draw with a mouse to save my life-
            
            And my best advice for finding an art style is to look at fanart (depending on what your drawing) and try to figure out the lines and stuff, and what I mean by that is like I learned how to draw dragons because I used the head shape from a piece of fanart and kinda added my own stuff onto it idk I don’t think I was very clear and people find yheir style in a shole bunch of different ways ALSO you can use tutorial videos as well

I've been looking at art videos for like the past week as well fyi.

Rixed_d

No chapter this week. I want to address some things, but I genuinely think it'll sound like excuses as looking back from previous announcements, it's just more 'no chapters this week' type of stuff.
          
          But I will say this: For some reason, I've been wanting to do art a lot more for the past 2 weeks so far, which is just mainly traditional styled art (Pencil & Paper). So, I've just been considering on making an art book, though I'm unsure. Including the fact I have so many art related videos on my 'watch later' playlist- :sob:
          (Most of the videos are just tips on how to get better + how 2 find an art style)

@Rixed_d Not to sound redundant from my previous comments on the announcements, but take all the time you need, you are under zero obligation to keep a posting schedule if it gets in the way of your other passions. Also, if you’re comfortable with it, I would request to see this art you speak of in future posts.
            Cheers m8.

I've been making preparations for a new book that I'll not spoil or say anything of. But I'll tell this: It's going great so far! And I'm quite proud of my progress >:)
          Other than that, I am feeling somewhat alright from my burnout of writing a story that has LITTLE TO NO LORE I CAN WORK OFF OF... But I'll try writing a new chapter this week tho. Anyway uhh... Have a good day/night whenever you're reading this ^_^

@Rixed_d Glad to see you're feeling better to some degree, very excited to see what you're cooking up!

I've been feeling burned out and unmotivated recently as stated from my previous announcement. Why? Every time I make a new chapter on a book, it usually ends up with me writing something I don't really like or put too much thought into sometimes, which just tears away at the thrill of making chapters weekly, especially when I must put things aside that I'm looking forward to getting to in order to write which really just boots the motivation too, though not all the time. And it's been starting to make me realize that this has been turning into more of a job/chore than having fun, and when you're not having fun doing something, it genuinely sucks. And I want to have a consistent upload schedule, but it's getting to the point where I'm starting to lack of ideas, which goes back to putting something together out of nothing and not having proper time to look through it, as I tend to not write till the day before publishing day.
          And another point I have to address is the ideas portion of it, continuing further, I literally have not many book ideas other than Forsaken ones, though there aren't many games I can make a book out of, there has to be lore in some way (that I can recognize for me at least if that makes sense) and not just the same thing over and over to the point where it gets repetitive, reusing the same words in different chapters, taking the Doors genre for example, you can see that I do some time skips in many chapters in 'Enjoy Your Stay' and 'In The Depths' just because I don't want it to get boring.
          That's all I have to say about my burnout and unmotivation to write, yes, I know it's a lot and I could've used this writing time to actually make a chapter. And no, this isn't a way to get me out of writing chapters.
          And on a side note, Roblox is just becoming a worser and worser site nowadays. Additionally, I have a planned book coming up, though it is a Y/N book unfortunately. Btw, not sure if I said this before.
          Thanks, if you read this.

@Rixed_d Keeping a consistent upload schedule with almost no lore to go off of is really tough to maintain and I don’t blame you if you wanted/are going to step away from it for a while. 
            I’m not the best person at comforting but I feel like my point is kinda clear anyway-

Trialanderore

@Rixed_d I completely understand. Nobody is pressuring you to keep a consistent upload schedule, and quite frankly I feel the same way about some of the things I do with my time. Don't feel like anyone is forcing you to do this, and if you need a break, take one, but don't feel like not uploading consistently or not coming up with the next Lord of the rings is working to be ashamed of. :)

@Rixed_d It's alright, burnout happens. And believe me, you are not the only unmotivated one here.
