hoi hoi, 2022 is about to end or may have already ended depending on how slow i write this but WHATEVER imma just write down the 2022 experience and whatever else comes to mind. i got nothing better to do lmao

Chapter 1:

PETI TALKS ABOUT THE GENERAL GIST OF HOW 2022 WENT DOWN

it's been a whole year + 6 months since i've made my ng account. on one hand, it feels like time has flown but on the other it feels like i've been on the site for longer. that doesn't make sense, but i hope you can understand that feeling and just responded with "oh ye, i get that feeling"

how was 2022: the year, though? it's easy to say "it was bad/ok/mixed", but i want to be positive and say that i think it was a good year and that i've done the best that i could have. i said that last year i wanted to release more games and that i wanted to get more involved with the community. the making more games part i've failed miserably at, releasing only a single one throughout the entire year. i really tried to release more, but it never worked out for whatever reason.

on the other hand however, i did fulfill on my wish to get more involved with the community! ive spend most of the year collaborating and doing small work for other projects. it's small, but those are still things that i'm happy with. it's better than just doing things on your lonesome. i think i fulfilled that desire of wanting to connect with people more, though i defo want to be more active in 2023. i'm still a bit awkward, ngl, and don't have much to really talk about. maybe i should like....actually talk on all those discord servers i'm in... i also got to do some commission work this year, which was pretty wild. they're closed atm, but only because i haven't redesigned my sheet yet lol

my personal life has also improved a lot. early 2022 i was a hair away of going completely broke, i was a complete NEET and was not getting accepted anywhere, it was a stressful and depressing period. i luckily managed to get a job, albeit a kinda crappy one, but it's still something and i'm luckily not broke anymore! thanks to my not-broke-anymore status, i upgraded my laptop which was on its deathbed, literally today i got a drawing tablet which was bigger than i expected tbh, and i also signed up for university. i'll be studying game design, because i enjoy that a lot more than full-time programming or art lol

Chapter 2:

WHERE'S THE RECEIPTS

okokokokok enough about my life, imma post what i've actually done this year........

GAMES

Interdimensional Square Off was made for Pixel Day in about 2 weeks and i think it shows lol, but idc. it felt good to make this game and at the end of the day i'm glad that i made it. i know that for a lot of people that the game is pretty frustrating and the game looks like crap, but i'm happy with it regardless. i was also super stoked to get to work with @Dieswyx and become friends with him, he's awesome and i'll shill for him any day of the week

I DIDN'T MAKE THESE GAMES LMFAO, I just did the game design and game testing for these. i'm super grateful to @just-a-ng-dummy for letting me onboard and live out my game design dreams... nah but fr this actually did help me realize that i wanna do design instead of programming. DevDum is also just a really awesome dude in general and i'm glad that i got to befriend him.

this was made for the greatest holiday of the year Peti Day

not by me, though. i just responded to a discord message and all the sudden a stork flew in and, instead of giving me a baby, gave me an actual blessing in this game

i drew in this

I made this with @bleak-creep and @p-pamda (as well as contributions from a lot of musicians), i was hoping to finish this before halloween but uhhhh oh hey it's not halloween or even autumn anymore oops, but anyway go play it when it's done lmfao, i'm actually pouring my heart and soul into this game and am really proud of it so far. it's about 95% done, so i'm hoping for a january release...hopefully early january, i dont rly wanna get buried by all the amazing pixel days that are gonna come out sob........

After Maple's Maid Service, i want to make another game. i've already got a basic idea in my head cooking......... heheheheeheheheheeeeee.......

ART

I dunno if i improved at all or anything, that's why i didn't post any of those art summaries lmfao I HAVEN'T IMPROVED WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!! ive got a drawing tablet now at least, so no more drawing with a frigging mouse!!!!!!! anyway here's some art that when i look at it i go "wow whoever drew this must be really sexy"

CULT OF THE BUN is currently my most viewed art, which is pretty epic!! thanks!!! you!!!!!

AUDIO

This year was absolutely amazing for my music career. I'm super grateful that you've all just taken a few minutes out of your lives to listen to the songs that i've put my entire being into. i really could not have made it this far without you guys support, so please, don't think i take your time and comments and favs for granted. behind each number, i see an individual who i am eternally grateful for. thank you. THANK YOU. i hope that my career as a newgrounds musician will only continue to grow and improve in 2023, for during the new year i will be bringing out the big guns and swear to only release banger after banger. keep an eye out for me in the audio portal!

MOVIES

i made art for bleak-creep's Us series

' credits sequence............

my essential contribution to the series truly made it cinema and i highly doubt it would have been the same were it not for me

Chapter 3:

2020 Part 3

okie ive been pretty sarcastic, but i think looking back 2022 was a good year overall. i'm pleased!

what's gonna be in the Peti store during 2023? i dunno.....probably more drawings of anime girls, AT LEAST a single game!!!! hopefully a few more though...... i kinda want to join a jam as an artist sometime........and of course a lot of good music from me, Peti, certified Newgrounds musician.

but really, i just hope that 2023 i can just keep doing newgrounds stuff and just remain in this awesome community. my life is honestly better thanks to NG, it'd be pretty empty without it. i'm really looking forward to whatever else will come out during 2023, i'll be there! even if i don't always comment, i'll be there!!!!!!!!!!!! and feel free to hit me up for fun projects plzplzplzplzplpzlz lol

so.......

here's to 2023!!!
