Heya.

WELCOME BACK TO YET MORE UPDATES!!!

I never thought of making another one of these, but seeing the fact that I just broke a lot of my milestones in a single week, I think it is time to make another one of these blogs. And also I love to type out stuff.

Pico Day 2024 was held on 18th of May 2024, and there was a huge overflow of unique and awesome content in Newgrounds. And I was patiently waiting, watching the growth of my game. And I haven't told you this, but I had some secret milestones noted down in the NOTEPAD TODO file of this project. Let's see what all milestones I've broken in that list.

Starting of, the game got FRONTPAGED on Newgrounds!!! We didn't got Daily Picked, but let's be honest, being frontpaged for 10 days straight, is definitely cool. And since it got frontpaged, a lot of you guys played the game, and THANK YOU SOSOSOSOSOSOSOOOO MUCH FOR THE FEEDBACKS. I'll try my best to fix a lot of them. Might take up a month, god knows.

And since it got frontpaged, and a lot of people started playing the game, a lot started being 'fan' of the concepts. And out of them all, was @AnassAnimationPro . He's an artist, and also a person who predicted one of the milestones, but the biggest thing of all... was the fact that HE MADE A MOTHER-EFFING FAN-ART FOR THE GAME!!! It was a concept for a Triple Trouble FNF Mod based on the game. And ironically, he got Darnel the way I had him in my mind!!! Please, for the love of god, go follow him, because this dude has super potential, I can assure you that. And if you're reading this, you're welcome.

And what did he actually predicted? Youtubers.

You see, while making this creepypasta game, a lot of inspiration was taken from other creepypasta games, and I used to watch a lot of youtube videos, and out of them all, the one I watched the most was LuigiKid Gaming. You will know him, if you're a huge fan of creepypasta video games. And turns out, a lot of youtubers played the game, which included 2 who I'm subscribed to, which also includes LuigiKid! And since the game got a lot of exposure from that video, the game received an instant 5K views in 2 days, which helped me crack the 3rd milestone.

The 4rd milestone was that the game to receive 10K views. And we did it!!! Thanks to all who played and voted the game too! And speaking of views...

5th Milestone: 100 FOLLOWERS!!! Thanks to all who've followed me by far. I had only 13 Fans on Newgrounds, but now we got 100+ thanks to that game! You guys are part of the history that I'm going to write on. (and h0li3 sh3+, k1n6 0f da p0rt4l f0ll0w3d m3. i guess it's a cool flex XD.)

And the final milestone, out of all of them, was cracked at 30th of May 2024, aka, the Winners Announcement. And to my utter shik-shak-shok, WE WON 4TH ON PICO DAY 2024 AT THE GAMES CATEGORY, AND THE BEST PART IS THAT WE WON 200$!!! And let's be honest, this is the first time ever I'm earning out of something I've made by far!!! I guess this is a good start! Thanks to all, it was surely a crazy ride.

And about the future of this game, I'm working on the Desktop Build, since I believe that the game works smooth and efficiently with he best experiences on the computer itself. And that also means the itch.io and GameJolt page is in progress, so stay tuned!!!

And to the current me; people are still saying the game ain't the greatest, that's because this isn't the full version; it's the demo. Think of it as a ludum dare build for FNF, you get the picture. But the bad news is that I'm starting to have school works, things are getting way too serious and I fear that I might get burned out... But I won't let y'all down. The full version may take maybe months, or even a year or 2, but I'm DAMN sure you'll get to experience the true Pico School Creepypasta Experience, even if it means that I'll ask for other's help. But for now, let's wait. Take some rest, play the new FNF update, watch getting submissions getting blammed on the Portal, and believe in the fact that this would be getting finished. That also means that even though you guys see me working on other projects, even an another game, that doesn't mean I stopped entirely on working in it. Like a wise person said, "It's better done late, rather than being not done at all."

And that also ALSO means that we're working on something at the backs. 2 of them actually. I may give up on them, but let's see how it goes. One thing is for sure... that one of them will be submitted for the next Pico Day 2024, and WE'LL BE GETTING 1ST PLACE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Sooo... yeah. That's it.

Toodles.
