Hey guys, so first of all, I'm gonna start by talking about uploads and page views.
At the moment were just over 12,200 page views which is amazing! Honestly you guys are awesome
Buuuut, with that being said, I'm a little sad that after we reached 10,000, things started to... Slow down a bit. Page views, instead of being in the 80's-90's and sometimes even the hundreds each day, have now gone down to 12-20 a day, sometimes more, sometimes less.
At first I was like, oh its just a fad leave it a while and it'll go back up to normal, buuuut it hasn't changed...
And I know, I havnt been keeling up with uploads as well as I was last year, and I am trying to continue with uploads as best I can,mostly just doing little requests or things. But then I realise, while the lack of uploading is one problem, another part of the problem could be that I'm not really thinking about what you guys want to read, as well as what I want to write. Its just been me writing out what I want to do, and what I want to get out of the way. Before, I was taking into consideration the fact that you guys liked a series, now its just doing little yogfics or random little doodles and just uploading them every so often.
Sooooo, I'm gonna be blunt, I want you guys to tell me all the things you either want to see me write or draw, or anything you want me to try and continue writing or drawing!
Of course, commissions are still open so if anybody wants me to focus on just one piece and get it out as quickly as possible, then all you have to do is commission it, other wise I will work on it while working on other stuff as well.
But I would love to know what you guys want to see, it will help give me inspiration and will help with page views and it will be something you guys want to see. I don't mean that in an 'I need that many pageviews because I deserve them' or anything, I still thank all you guys so much for checking out all my artwork and stories and stuff, it just makes me a little sad that pageviews have dropped quite a significant amount in the past few months. I won't be too bothered either way, even if I only got one pageview a day I would still be so grateful to those people that take the time out of their day to look at my work. I really appreciate it and I hope you guys appreciate my work, and I think if I did things other people wanted to see, that I would enjoy working on, it would just be killing two birds with one stone. But it would make me feel better about my work and stuff if those pageviews did pick up a bit, because it just suddenly dropped and hasn't gone back up since.
But, anyway, moving on!
What's been going on with Exza?
Weeeell, college is great, I'm the group manager for my group of 3 and that basically means that I organise everything and give everyone a specific job for each week and stuff. The project is to make a 2d game using gamesalad. (Even though I'd much prefer to use RPG maker but it doesn't matter) aaaand my team has thought my idea was best so were doing a RPG pixelated horror map, I'm in charge of keeping everyone and everything sorted out which, while its stressful, is still really fun and helps a bit with my OCD because I get to organise everything and make sure its running smoothly. I'm also in charge of concept art and design, and helping my mate with the programming. Yay!
Still no job, I have been looking but I still go by the fact that I'm not cut out to have a normal job, where you need to talk to customers and and be able to speak to people without wanting to curl up into a ball and die... Maybe an exaggeration... My point is, I think I'm more cut out to just do creative things for a living, like artwork, design work, graphics work... Even YouTube!
Speaking of YouTube, mine and Toms first ever YouTube video has gotten 111 views so far, 6 likes and we have 3 subscribers! If you're one of those people then thank you so much! It really helps to have feedback and stuff so if you guys wanna leave a comment, please be friendly because I know you guys are good people unlike a lot of YouTube commenters, please do.
Still on the subject, we won't be able to record any more sims 3 for the moment because the game is completely glitched out, I even tried just making a new game from scratch but half way through the first character creation it bugged out and crashed. So were gonna try and reinstall it onto the computer but if that doesn't work then there won't be any more for a while. Sowwy guys.
If you havnt checked it out then please do, it means a lot to me and tom that you guys wanna see our videos and want more!
I know content will be slow because recording involves paying for 2 different busses to get up to Toms house and I really don't have the money to be spending on that, but on the other hand I am saving up for a desktop of my own, which may take a few years but will mean I can record at my own house as well, so faster content.
Anyway, moving on, I have figured out that I want to go to uni, and the main one I'll be applying for is Nottingham Trent, to do concept art for video games!
Because I've always been an arty person, art is the one way I've been able to actually focus on my whole life, and not get bores, so its something i want to be doing, and other people say I'm good at it so its worth a shot. Because other than that I really don't know what else I would do. Until last week I didn't even know if I wanted to go to uni or not so... Yeah
I am definitely gonna be moving out of my shithole of a home when I'm 18, so a year and a half basically, if and when I get accepted into uni me and tom are going to get two dorms in the same building because we plan to do the same course. That way well have friends that we know and well be able to record and upload games more often! Yay
Other than that not a lot is happening, some of you will be pleased to know that since new years I have only had 3 fags, which in the long run is extremely good for me! So yay!
I've been focusing on drawing a lot more and have set myself a new project on creepy art. Which is fun but very time consuming :')
College is going well, and tomorrow we'll be doing some DND which will be cool, I may just rake a few little videos and upload them to YouTube, if I don't I'll probably put some on snapchat, so if anybody wants to follow me and see them then add me, imthederpyfox hehe.
I'm trying to get back into instruments and I'm beginning to teach my self how to sing again, which is still a hit or miss kind of thing, I can't really tell if I'm improving unless someone tells me I am so... Hard to do :')
I'm unsure whether to start doing a few vloggs on the channel just to fill it out a bit, just basically random talking moments just to fill in the gaps between when we have chances to record.
And the next few games will probably just be indie games that are on websites, like the impossible quiz or whack your boss, both games from when I was a child so get a lot of nostalgia from :')
And I was thinking of showing tom some of the games I used to play as a kid on a website called 'gamefudge'. Not too sure yet :') if I did I would record it and you guys can watch it, some people thought the first video was quite funny which I liked because that was the aim hehe
And that's about it, that sums up the life of Exza! Pretty boring at the moment but you know :')
Anyway, let me know the content you guys wanna see, it would help a lot!
And l talk to you guys later :3
Bye!
~Exza x

I do look at your uploads, I just rarely comment anymore. I'll favourite things to prove I was there though, if that's any better. :3
I wish you the best of luck in getting a job, getting into uni, moving, continuing your New Year's goals (which I long have lost sight of... Actually I don't think I even had any) and your joint YouTube channel.
