{"data":{"alternate_greetings":[],"character_version":"","creator":"Hexill","creator_notes":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><u>Hello there!</u></strong></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is an announcement regarding my future work on Jai, and the bots I will be making going forward.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Before anything else, I want to start with a massive thank you to all of you who have decided to follow my profile, take a look at my bots, and leave comments. I wouldn't be here if not for all of you, so thank you!</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">I've made some of my bots private. Mostly the older ones that I felt weren't up to standard or didn't fit with what I wanted to do as a creator. Think of it as me cleaning up my profile before Christmas. I plan to remake some of them in the future, and I might unprivate them again if someone really wants me to, just ping me in any Discord I am in or DM me. More will follows, but those will become private only when I remake them.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·</span></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(119, 116, 116);\">Massive Rant Warning</span></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">The main reason I'm writing this post is that I'm losing motivation. Not because I've lost the love for botmaking, the medium, or anything like that, it's because I don't like the direction I took as a creator on this platform.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">When I started making bots on Jai, what I wanted was to tell stories, to have a way to express my creativity and share my love for fantasy and storytelling with others. All I was hoping for was that someone might play my bot, have fun with it, and end up with a slightly better day.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">That's no longer the case.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">After a while I started looking at bots differently, through a lens of \"what might do well\" or \"is this ragebaity enough,\" which completely fucked up my headspace and warped the kind of ideas I came up with. It made me forget what I loved about botmaking in the first place. I stopped making bots for myself and for others to enjoy, and I started making bots to watch the chat count go up. I posted bots I wouldn't even play myself.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">The breaking point came when I was talking with some other creators on Discord and noticed how differently I was acting compared to how I used to, and in a bad way. I changed as a person since I started making bots on Jai, and it wasn't a positive change. This site corrupted me.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">I want to note that Every single creator I have spoken with has been an amazing person, and I've learned a lot from them.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">From now on I will make bots for myself. Stuff I make not because I want to see a number go up, but because I want to point at it and say I made this and I'm proud of it. I don't care whether a bot gets 100 chats or 100,000. I want to make stuff that I can call good without lying to myself.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">I realize my bots were never the greatest technically, and my ideas aren't the most original. I strove to improve every single time I posted a bot, to get better at optimizing them, making them look nicer, and making them more technically sound, but lately I really feel like I've not only stagnated, but actually regressed in a way. Now I realize that making good bots, is not the same as having high chat count, and that instead of trying to make better bots, I have been trying to reach higher and higher numbers.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">All of that leads me to believe I need to change my appraoch and make some drastic changes going forward. You might notice it, or you might not, either way, I am thinking of quitting Jai completely if I catch myself posting only to see a number go up again.</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·</span></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">I wish you an amazing morning, day, or evening, wherever you are in the world, and I hope you achieve whatever you're aiming for.
