Anniversary & A little love

Hej!

Love Is A Long Road - Tom Petty
Yes, this squirrel is my OC. And yes, I know you're waiting for my bikini/swimsuit self-bot. This OC will be that bot :zoesmug:
~~~~~ 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 ~~~~~
On July 16th, at 18 (6:00 PM), exactly one year had passed since I started creating my bots on J.AI. When I published my first bot that day – Yucha (Here is the updated version) – I had no idea or suspicion that my passing interest in creating bots would turn into a hobby that I would spend so much time on, deriving so much joy, fun, and enjoyment from. Although I have to be completely honest here, after the first 24 hours, this character only had 130 chats, so the result was so devastating that for a while, I considered giving up creating any more characters altogether. However, some time passed, I thought about things, and I created Desmea – the character that was my first success on the platform.
And that's how I ended up where I am. Despite a few unpleasant experiences with a certain person on this platform, I've met many wonderful, kind, and supportive people who have become my friends, holding a special place in my heart. And even though vast distances separate us, making us merely online friends from different corners of the world, I'm glad to have you in my life and to be able to talk to you about everything, share my creations, and complain about it when I lack the motivation to keep creating (I only do this so you can give me a mental kick in the ass to get me back to work).
Above all, I'd like to thank each and every one of you. Whether you followed my profile at the very beginning of my adventure or have followed me today, whether you're still with me or whether we parted ways a few months ago or yesterday. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support, for every kind word, and for every review, whether it was an opinion about the bot or a funny one. I owe what I'm doing to each and every one of you.
And while my activities on this platform haven't impacted my life (well, maybe besides starting to work more on my book, lmao), and J.AI itself isn't a major part of my life, I don't regret starting to create here. It's been an interesting adventure, one I plan to continue for at least another year. Well, another year...
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
NARIKU - Finally refresh those old graphics on your profile and complete the remaining sections in your dropdown menus, you lazy bastard.
CYNARA - Maybe one day we'll both find the motivation to do that Overgrowth x Syndra collab x_x. It would be amazing.
CRABRANGOONIE - Honestly, when we first texted, I didn't expect we'd connect so well (lmao). Meanwhile, you're my hobeboy, the one I can talk to anyone about. Don't change, because you're amazing, and I hope we can do antoher collab someday!
LUVBYTES - I'm truly grateful for your constant motivation to continually improve not only my techniques for creating bot definitions but also their cards. And for promoting my account, I'm truly grateful.
THECACTUAR - My goat, who is unfortunately no longer with us on this platform (he was banned). He promoted my account when I was just starting my bot creation adventure. Thank you very much for all your help bro. You are amazing.

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
Matteo Tura - AMBITION
~~~~~ 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 ~~~~~
For a long time, I've been wondering what I could create for you for this occasion. I've considered various ideas, some more crazy than others, but none of them ever really convinced me. And when I couldn't decide on anything, and I'd come to terms with the fact that I wouldn't be able to prepare anything for my anniversary, I remembered the first series of characters I created on my profile, which I never finished.
Colours of Musical Whispers is a character series I started with the release of Kimi (She's one of the few characters I'm truly proud and happy with) in August 2024, when the first Music Mania started (The first event I was actually excited about. The second Music Mania was meh.) It was through that event that I came up with the idea for this series, which got me seriously interested in bot creation and I decided to pursue it.
So, to celebrate my anniversary on this platform, I've decided to do a complete remaster and refresh of this series, which currently consists of 8 characters:
Kimi & Aella & Sorena - Characters still on my profile.
Sarinth & Rika - Characters that were public on my profile but are currently set to private.
Sabrina & Erivi - Characters I planned to make but never finished.
I'll definitely be updating all the characters in this series that are or were public on my profile. As for the characters I was planning, I'll have to think about what to do with them, but knowing me, I'll probably make and publish them anyway (XD). As for how often I'll publish these characters, it'll probably be 1 bot per week, since I don't want to rush Nari when it comes to generating images for me.

PLANY NA KOLEJNY ROK
Matteo Tura - FEMME FATALE
~~~~~ 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️ ~~~~~
I'm absolutely terrible at creating and implementing long-term plans. My brain suffers from creative ADHD, which means I'm constantly thinking about creative and imaginative things from every possible field. Because of this, I try not to plan anything in advance - Nariku will confirm this. One minute I can be telling her about a bot I want to write and publish next week, and 10 minutes later I'm coming back with a completely different idea, which I'm even more excited about.
For this reason, I have no plans for the next year I'll spend on this platform. What you can be sure of is that I'll still be creating bots. However, there's a high probability that I won't be posting as regularly as I did at the very beginning of my time here – mainly because I have many more important creative projects underway and want to focus entirely on them.
However, I want to focus on a few things on my profile.
I also want to start posting bots on my second account, where I'll be posting more casual content (mainly fluff).

OVERGROWTH
Matteo Tura & Mobiius - IMMERSION
~~~~~ 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 ~~~~~
I realize that many people are waiting for the next character in this series, as well as a continuation of the story. Don't worry. I haven't given up on this series, abandoned it, gotten bored with it, or put it on hold. I recently started working on Shadra and her scenario, which won the poll. However, I won't be publishing any bots in this series in the near future. A few days ago, I learned that the first creators on this platform were given the opportunity to create and use lorebooks, so I decided to simply wait to publish another bot in this series until I get access to this feature myself - or when it becomes officially available to everyone.
In the case of the Overgrowth series, the lorebook will be a real game-changer for me. Instead of struggling to inject rudimentary information about the world into the bot's definitions so that the character at least minimally reflects the world I have in my head, I'll be able to simply add lorebooks brimming with information about the world for these characters, creating an even more immersive RPG environment for you.
So stay tuned! In the meantime, I'll be publishing side stories characters in this series.

MECHAMORPHOSIS
Mindscape - The 4th
~~~~~ ⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️ ~~~~~
Yes, I know. At the moment, I only have one bot in this universe – Mar-Kir. I also remember writing about this project in September 2024, when I posted a "bot" on my profile with my notes and plans for how I wanted to implement this series. Originally, I wanted to start publishing characters in this universe in March/April of this year, but I couldn't decide which character should be released first. And honestly? Maybe that's a good thing. Now that I know the lorebooks are finally in alpha and that no one has forgotten about them, I can finally wait for Mechamorphosis and start creating this series with the right tools.
PS: Mechamorphosis will work on the same principle as Overgrowth – you will also be voting on the plot in this series :3

Black Sun Empire & Audio - Drizzle
~~~~~ 🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮 ~~~~~
With the publication of Amano-Kami, I began a soft reset of this entire universe, as the previous version was created too spontaneously, without much thought or planning. Furthermore, from now on, I don't want to focus so much on creating just the students, but also on creating other magical characters in this universe (including non-furry characters, I don't even rule out dragons).

VELVET MELODIES OF HEARTS & VHS HORRORS
Mean Teeth - Nine Lives
~~~~~ 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪 ~~~~~
As for Velvet, I might post one or two more characters from this series on this account (not counting the Lila & Kassana I posted today). After that, I'll fully intend to move this series to my other account, where I want to post more casual content without any specific story or plot focus.
As for VHS Horrors - I want to continue creating characters in this setting, because as I've mentioned many times, I'm a fan of old horror films from the 80s and 90s (even though they're totally trashy), and I simply like the theme of old slasher films.
I'm currently working on a character based on the phenomenal book "House of Leaves." While the skeleton of this character has been in place for a long time, and it's possible to RP with it, getting JLLM to work with this bot concept is a real pain in the ass. >__>
Besides, another character lurks in the shadows. Three years have passed since the fateful event on Halloween '92, and this figure now seeks revenge...

Of course, I'm not ruling out creating other mischiefs, or maybe even other series? Who knows? We'll see what the future holds.
Thank you again for sticking with me! See you in the next bots. Pawfive!
