[UPDATE]

The whole thing is in discussion with mods for now, so some thing might stay.

We will post the update journal later

____________________



Hello everyone.


I'm really sorry guys, but I've lost my motivation.

Don't get me wrong - those three years I've spent on making an ARPG and developing the world, story and game mechanics were absolutely amazing. I've learned a lot of new stuff, I've met great people, I've made something that others really like and it makes me happy.


But I'm still a living person. And I'm just tired. The idea behind Bub-Chi, their world and universe got way too big for me to handle. I realized that I've gone too far with it. And worse of all that I'm not the best person to take a lead. While I have all the wonderful people in the mod team I just can't organize their the work right. The big projects are not for me - I'm more comfortable with working in a small team of 2 or 3 people with my close friends.


Also the whole situation with Eclipse put me off by ruining all the hard work that has been done so far. It's devastating. Not speaking about all over things that should be done such as new quests, guides and application content - it's just way too much for me to handle and as I said - I can't organize people right to delegate work to them. I don't have that skill.


I'm sincerely grateful that you've been supporting me the whole time and invested a lot of your personal efforts and time into this world. It won't go away - the group stays open for everyone, it just won't have an ARPG aspect anymore.


I will eventually reveal all the storylines that were planned for it since there were a lot of work put into it and I don't want it to waste. But the whole idea of currency, exp and items will gone.


So be sure to spend everything you want before that - such as libbles/coins, MYO slots and trait upgrades - since they won't get any usage after and will simply be removed as the whole inventories.

The planned date of closing the ARPG aspect is 1st of August 2020.

There won't be any new events, but the July prompt will appear as usual so you could earn more currency if needed.

All loot items can be sold to Paz at the same price as beach loot items (You can find the journal here). And of course Paz as a regular merchant takes the regular items as well.

Agatha will also take your plushes for the half of the crafting cost and will buy cloth items.

Claude can take everything else - some items that don't fit into any existing category will be counted individually.


Bub-Chi and all associated species will stay closed

(or semi-open for some pets and companions).

The masterlist will be working as usual and I might even make some adopts if there will be any interest in them.

All official and guest designers/breeders will be retired at the 1st of August as well.


If you want to take your characters out of the species - you are free to do so. Just be sure to inform the Masterlist and to make them look not as Chigon species - I still keep the rights for the species and their official lore.


Because as I said - the world will continue to exist for everyone who would be interested in developing their characters within it.



Again - thank you all so much, and I hope to see you as regular visitors of the world if you are still interested in it.

Discord server will stay online too, so you could ask your questions and share art there.

Hello guys, I have some big news.


First of all.

I'm closing the ARPG part of my main CS group - Bub-Chi.

I won't go into details here, but you can read it all in this journal: LINK

I still would probably submit some arts for it, since the world itself stays alive and I have some characters within it with cool stories in plans and I would love to develop them more.


Second.

I'm going back to posting more Sonic stuff.

I have some big plans. I'm still a huge fan and I realized that I have a lot of stories that have been waiting their time since 2011-2012. One of the teasers will appear soon and it will be about canon characters, not the fan ones.

Tho I also will try to develop my own kids more, just not in such big format.


And some smaller plans:

1) I will work on another game, this time - much, much smaller and easier to handle for me alone. I will try to automatize most of the stuff there and it will move to the Discord entirely since it will use a lot of bots. And yes, I'm talking about my other group - SCU (Spirit Cats Universe). The way it works now was heavily inspired by Bub-Chi mechanics, so I will rework it entirely. I won't launch it until the whole work is done, so it could start functioning right from the launch. I don't want it to be another WIP game. Hopefully it will be finished closer to the end of the year.

2) I still will be into adopts: either as one-offs or part of some other species. But I won't do customs anymore.

Also I don't feel like participating in many species groups, so I will probably stay active only in a few of them.

3) Commissions will be my main priority. I still need some income and without the active species group around it's the best and easiest way for me.

4) I want to focus on my personal stories that I have the full control on. Hopefully I could start that dream comic project about one of my original worlds. Time flies too fast to miss the chance.


So yeah, kinda like this~

Eclipse got me bad and I had to rethink all my life and what I want to do in it to make myself happy.

Hope to see you around soon! Stay tuned for more arts.

Eclipse, huh?..

2 min read
So, Eclipse is finally coming...
Not gonna lie, as the most of you, I don't like it at all. The new design is awful and the lack of customization makes me truly sad. I'm so used to my page's design that I feel like I will lose a part of myself.

In any case, I won't leave DA. It still has the most appeal to me due to its functions and I don't have better alternatives. No other platform can give me separate folders for my art and favorites and I'd love them to stay organized even if it means that I have to adapt to this new horrible design. *suffer mode activates*
(yes, I know about artstation, but heck, can we all just agree that it's way out my league? x'D)

Still, I will try to be more active on other platforms for those of you who decide to leave DA ;3c If you'd like to follow me there, here's the links:

And even ToyHouse (why not?) - toyhou.se/KetLike


As for my groups - I really hope that DA will keep their functionality. But most likely that aren't gonna happen, so me and my programmer will try to finish the application for Bub-Chi group as soon as we can and will also work on SCU one.
And Discord is still here and I feel like it will be the most common place for CS members to hang out from now on X')


Stay safe and don't lose hope ;3c
