Listen I'm SORRY about Lobster Quest, alright folks? I just got another PM today about it, asking when it's gonna be finished. I don't know, alright? I'm not working on it. I spent a lot of time thinking about everything I could do with it, and the project sort of expanded out of my control. I'd love to make Lobster Quest, and some day, I truly believe I will. But I started it when I was what, 15? And then everything went down with NG when I was 17, and I'm just not a very disciplined person. It's taken a lot of time to work on that, and I've gotten a lot better about following through with my projects, but when it comes to Flash I usually have trouble sticking with it. I found out I'm more of a hands-on artist. Pencils, ink, paint... sculpey, real life stuff. So anyway, if I'm gonna produce Lobster Quest, I'm probably gonna need to put a team together, that's what I think it's come to. Good thing about that is, I'm surrounded by a lot of creative and talented people where I go to school, at Full Sail. When I decide to do that, there will be plenty of resources around here to get it done. I feel like I've let quite a few people down, and may have slightly damaged some reputations, among other things. But fuck, I was just a kid when I took on this project. I didn't know what the hell I was up to. I appreciate people putting faith in me back then, but I probably wasn't ready for the responsibility of producing a game. I still feel indebted for that, and I'm still trying to come up with a way to pay that off, and I thank everybody for the amount of forgiveness I've been given.

I feel like a dick, really. I mean people are putting out games all the time on Newgrounds, what's my deal, right? Why is it so daunting to me?

Whatever though, it's in the past. I'm not the same person I was five years ago. I know what I'm doing, I've got direction, which is cool. There's a lot I want to do, a lot of cool stuff I want to make, and I hope I can bring some of that stuff here to NG. Cause I really believe in this place. You grow up a little, you start getting out into the real world, you get a glimpse of the entertainment industry, and it really makes you value where the real soul is out there, and Newgrounds is a place that really believes in artists. That is fucking worth something.

I can't thank you enough, Tom. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough.

It's 6 PM, so it's cool to have beer at this hour, right? I mean I know it's a Monday, but that's not too early, right? There are probably like a billion people coming home from work, drinkin' brews right now, fuck it.

Bai :3
