The final part of Backstory.
You all can probably guess what this is, and I won't beat around the bush here, it's my final project. The momentum I had for making projects has slowed so much, though, that at this point it probably wouldn't matter much if I left or stayed.
The reason I'm leaving is simply because I want to move on. Scratch is undoubtedly a huge part of my life, and I can guarantee my life wouldn't be the same right now without it, and I sincerely mean that. However, after some self-evaluation I realized I won't get very far making animations on a site for kids. Everyone else I know is moving on, and after 7 years, I think I've hit my time, too.
I've said this before, but now that I really look at it, I'm immensely happy about everyone who watches and enjoys my stuff. I said that Scratch has shaped my life, and honestly, I don't think it would have if it weren't for you all. If I was still some small account and Scratch was nothing more than a past time for me, I would have never met the people I know now, or have the confidence in my work that I've grown to have, even if it may still be small. I'm gonna be honest when I say I understand why people want to get popular, because from my experience, it truly is life changing.
"Thank you for being with me this whole time."

- The format and ending of this project changed a lot until I finally settled on one I liked.
- This was in development far before "Expert Mode," but was worked on VERY on-and-off.
- All sprites were drawn beforehand in bitmap, and retraced in vector.
