Well, yes, I am, but this is out-of-character Cass, and I wanted to talk about the series a bit, as well as thank everyone who helped me.

I started this serialized Creepypasta as I was coming off the end of another, much larger project that I had to abandon because the scope was far too big for what little business know-how I have. I wanted to do something much, much smaller to get at least one thing finished and out of my head. Truth be told, it’s not as exciting to write this as it is to imagine what it would look like as a game (and believe me, I do have an entire game in my head), but I have to maintain a certain degree of self-restraint in order to succeed. I may want to do everything, but I am not one of those people who can do anything.

That being said, it’s a pleasant surprise that this has actually worked out well so far. It’s been a long and hard battle to facilitate engagement with the posts, especially since they’re in General, where they can easily be flattened by a million other people’s trains of thought. But we’ve gotten it working, and made some modifications to prevent having to rely on an audience too much. Less of an ARG, I suppose.

Anyway.

Big thank you to the team who’s been acting as the other characters in the story of New Grounds, PA:

• @DrSevenSeizeMD - Seven Seize
• @Tritnew - Tritt Newman
• @GJMARS - Gemma Mars
• @Tsnophaljakarax - Fancy Jack
• @anothergamedev - Captain Chan

Special shoutout as well to @wonkypaws for being invested in the ARG across multiple posts, as well as @Taka for briefly being part of the cast before other time commitments got in the way.

And thanks as well to the team from the abandoned project, in no particular order:

@tee-dot-jay-dot, @Frostgale, @Tsnophaljakarax, @Doumierstar, @VoicesByCorey, @themaskedmonocle, @SquigglyVA, @JoshDytonVO, @VioletJosh, @VoroVoice, @Bleak-Creep, @SumOlives, @Sorayaya, and @WrapFX, who willingly took on the special responsibility to sit me down and kindly tell me I was an idiot.

In order to keep the ARG going, I resolve to be as optimistic about it as a child too young for NG who thinks that 10 followers makes them a celebrity. We will see this to the end.
