Progress on Skull Kid has been going well, I'd say he's about 75% done now!
He'll also come with a bonus map.

Hi everyone!

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support you've shown on my recent videos, whether it's the Winds of Time development update, the bad ending of BuzzBound, and now my goose mod for The Wind Waker. You also all helped me reach a new milestone with 20k subscribers and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that as well.

My goal is to be able to create content full-time so I can release many more mods and videos to entertain you all, as I hope to bring a sense of joy and nostalgia to as many people as possible. In the coming months, I would like to upload videos of old, unfinished projects I have no plans on ever continuing, some of which you probably have never seen before! That way they can still be documented in some way.

Finally, here's a little teaser of one of my upcoming TWW projects, which will release after Young Link & Navi.
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you? Thanks again and until next time!

Hello everyone! Just a quick update to mention that I have been dealing with some health issues that required me to undergo three surgeries recently. I also have been busy with work and my personal life but I really want to resume many of my projects as soon as I feel well enough for it.

Just a quick update, I most likely won't be uploading any videos until I resolve a situation that's been affecting my channel since May. Nintendo has issued over 80 copyright claims on my videos, blocking them worldwide. I had recently managed to get them back, but they were blocked again just now, so I have no choice but to appeal every dispute.

The funny thing is, it's not just modding videos but also some gameplay videos and old music covers. The only one I cannot really try to get back is the Metroid Dread OST as that does not fall under fair use, so I apologize if that one is forever gone.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Hello! As I am slowly returning to my projects and life is becoming less chaotic, I decided to make a Discord server for those who are interested in learning how to mod or keeping up with my projects.

I'd be happy to have you join!

A tribute was recently made for a member of the SiIvaGunner community that unfortunately passed away.
Rest in peace, R.L.99.

It truly was an honor for me to be able to help with the project. I had the opportunity to help with some of the art direction but also designed sprites for the FF6 and Mother 3 ghosts, as well as Porky.

Please check it out as everyone worked hard on it:

Hi all, this is an update regarding my situation.

I've been dealing with many issues in the past few months which has made it difficult to put in consistent time into YouTube videos or modding in general. This is mainly due to struggling with a lot of grief and loneliness, recovering from an illness that was nearly life-threatening, and trying to sort out a fraud I was a victim of.

Modding has been a great way for me to relieve some of the pain I go through, but constantly pushing myself to put all my free time into complicated projects while dealing with many problems has given me yet another burnout.

On the plus side, I am nearly done with a large mod pack for Metroid Dread, which contains thousands of changes. You can find more information about it on my Twitter and I really look forward to seeing what people think about it once it's released.

However, after I release it and post a few videos for it, I will be taking a break from large-scale projects, as they have always proven to be very unhealthy for me. I want to remind you that I am just a single person pouring all of their free time while dealing with a lot at the same time, and I cannot stress how much this lifestyle has negatively impacted me over the years.

What looks like 10 minutes of video, or a cosmetic mod, translates to hundreds of hours of work all done for free. And when so many people of so many different communities want more and more of the various things I have created, that's thousands of hours worth of work that I cannot always find the time for unless sacrifices are made. The constant pressure and unrealistic expectations social media puts on creators are seriously damaging and I want to change that before it's too late.

During this break period, I will still be working on videos and sometimes releasing mods, but they will be on a much smaller and simpler scale as I am at a point where my own health, enjoyment and creative spark are severely impacted. I want to be able to relax as I draw, model, write dialogue or make a cover song, without feeling stressed out that I am not doing enough, not fast enough. I don't want to grow to hate my hobbies.

I hope you can understand. I will always strive to have more exciting things to share with everyone, but I just need time as I cannot constantly pump out content like a machine while there are many more important things in life that require my attention.

Take care, thank you so much for the continued support, and keep being awesome.

Thank you so much for helping me reach 15000 subscribers!

I never thought I would reach this number when I got back into modding just a few years ago. You help keep my passion alive, so thank you again, for all the kindness and support, and keep being awesome. ❤️
