as we approach the end of 2024, i realized something for myself.

i started to feel like that all my works (not counting the remixes) are made by one single pattern, that i've been following through almost all years i've been making hardstyle.

because of that pattern i'm having another burnout, like i had in 2023. all my ideas have led to the same pattern, and i'm tired. literally drained out. that pattern is what is hardstyle nowadays, if you follow it in general, you know what i mean.

in 2025 i want to take a step back, to more industrial (or oldschool) approach, with more experiments including the other stuff i worked on during 2024.

this won't mean that i'll quit making hardstyle, don't count on this. i just want to do what only a few hardstyle artists still do nowadays, to go for a darker approach.

.

also those who follows me here noticed already that i do remix commissions for geometry dash levels, for more than half of the year, which also did a little help with expanding my knowledge.

i was doing remixes mostly for my local creators, and i noticed that some people started requesting remixes through my newgrounds dm's. and i'm forced to decline them.

why? primary reason - i live in Russia, and it's almost impossible to send money straight to me from abroad due to known reasons. i'm not doing remixes for free, don't even try asking me about it (unless there's something that can easily change my mind). (if there's any alternative that still working even today, please let me know, ty in advance)

p.s. if you're from Russia, i highly recommend you to reach out to me through my telegram, you can find it easily.

secondary reason (temporary one) - i have university sessions from tomorrow till the middle of january, so i won't be able to work properly on them.

.

well, i guess that's all i wanted to say here. might do another post on 31.12, well see.
