Just a hopefully quick update for users on my profile for the first time, or people I used to know coming to check on what's up with me these days.

I don't really use Newgrounds anymore, it's been quiet and I hate my old music so don't even like to be near it. The traffic isn't even that bad, I like that people will just randomly show up on a track that would be buried and deserted on any other site but on NG people still find it. Although, that's also an issue because when someone reviews something I made in 2014 I literally can't do anything with the feedback because 2014 was barely even "me" any more, and I'll never open those project files again.

Anyway so, update on me and my life. I'm still going, I'm just not very recogniseable as 'FortressLord'. I do music, but releases are slower but more serious. Some of my latest WIPs are pretty good, but it's not like 2014 where I made what was crap in retrospect and uploaded every audio file like "hm yes this is good". I even delete tracks I'm not happy with sometimes. I'm growing creatively, even if my upload count is at a new low.

I still use FL Studio, even still do Drum and Bass, but my view of music and what it means to me has changed.

When I started posting I was literally a kid still in school. I changed from wanting to be a musician to wanting to do audio for videogames, but I've never given up releasing tracks, though that won't be in the form of regular Newgrounds uploads, it'll be in the form of rare Bandcamp albums.

I will be cleaning up my Newgrounds just like I purged my Soundcloud. A lot of social posts have to go because they're a bit cringe or had personally identifying information.

Thank you for reading this.
