I don't really have the motivation to keep this going right now. Maybe soon I'll make more but I don't really feel like it right now. Not having motivation, not having ideas and not having any unique content plans makes this much more complicated than it seems. If I were in a better situation I would have ended this post right here and just said that there's more coming but there really isn't. Maybe in the next few months I'll get the motivation to work on this more but I doubt it. Consider this discontinued indefinitely. I still have a point with this I'm going to reach eventually but right now isn't the best time for me.

Sorry for the lack of videos. Not much has been going on.

I don't think I have much else to do. I'm gonna try to get a specific someone back.

Didn't make any updates for a while now. I'm just taking a break. Hope it's not a problem.

I'm just running the game all the time now. Trying to get something out of the autoplay.

I guess the paintings video wasn't all that disappointing since it's my most viewed video now. That's fun and all but I still have nothing new.

Sorry if the paintings video was disappointing!

I'm still alive by the way. Just nothing is coming up so far. There is a mirror of what the original IMPROVE site looked like though, and some other stuff we have. I can link it if nothing else shows up on the Minecraft side.

Two files in a row. I asked BLIKE how the downloads worked, he said it's a part of the backend he doesn't have access to. Because of course he doesn't. I just feel like I'm being trolled right now but I'll post this anyways. "serv.txt": "Hello everyone! This is where I leave, I guess. I had a lot of fun with this mod. Both developing and helping the community was incredible for the time I was there but now I feel as if I can't work on this anymore. This server will stay up for as long as the others keep it up. I don't own the server so me leaving won't mean it gets deleted. As for why, I've went through a lot of trouble in life, and recently a lot of it has been because of this mod. I've been working on it nonstop and even cancelling plans with friends and whatnot, and that has permanently tainted my friendships in a way I can't reverse. I'm really sorry it had to go this way. If anyone wants to talk to me, I will stay on Discord for about two more weeks, and I will delete this account soon after. I'll miss you all. (at)cheaty, start the game and check the resources folder. There's a message for you. Please don't DM me." I replaced an @ with (at), since I don't wanna mention some random guy. Any thoughts?

New file showed up! Same as before. "mess.txt": "I'm sorry for leaving the development team. I know you'll miss me if I don't end this nicely and with an explanation. This just isn't fun to work on anymore, and the lead developer hasn't been on in so long, I doubt he even cares anymore. Maybe he forgot about us entirely, I don't know. But that's besides the point. I'm trying to say that I'll miss you too, even if this is already too much of a mess to go back and fix it. Nobody is playing our mod, no matter how much effort we put into it. Nobody is enjoying our content, no matter how much effort we put into it. I just wanna let it all go now. I won't do anything, as much as I want to, because I know I'll hurt you more if I do, but I still want to. Don't take it personally, but I don't wanna stay in contact anymore. It's nothing you did wrong, but I don't wanna be reminded of everything I had to go through because of this mod. I really made some horrible decisions with my life just to prioritize a project that nobody ever even cared about. I'm just a mess of a person no matter how you might wanna put it. I fucked up, and I fucked up bad. You've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about, but I ruined my friendships just to keep working on this more. I won't send you this through Discord. I know you'll cry if I do. I'm just sorry it has to end this way, but it's the best for me. Maybe one day, we'll be able to talk again, without having to work on a Minecraft mod. I hope that day comes soon. I'll miss you man. <3 jl"

I just had a single file show up on my desktop. Not like the video and text file pair I used to get, now I just got a single text file, the name is "gift1.txt" and this is the content: "I made this small little map for you. You should pull changes before you load into it though, there's some special stuff I made specifically for it, just for you and you only. I know it's basically nothing because it's just a Minecraft map, but I don't think you care. I'm sorry I couldn't do much more. Tell me if you have any issues with anything though! I'd gladly fix them for you. I know you're forgetful so I made it open this text file for you whenever you go in the world. I hope you like it. Sorry for not being there for your special day again, I hope this makes up for it." No idea what any of this means by the way. I asked the dev I'm in contact with and he said the person this was addressed to had some delusions or something and they thought this other guy loved him. This apparently made him think that more. Honestly I don't know if I should feel bad or not. Any opinions?

I uploaded the autoplay vid a little too late than expected. I got busy with stuff and forgot to upload it, sorry.

• @mcimprove: Video is now ACTUALLY public. Youtube was being weird and it set the video to private automatically.

I got the music for the investigation video from the dev. Just saying cause I don't want people saying I'm the guy who made the song or something. It is NOT MY SONG.

Just saying just in case: I don't know everything. If you got questions about the mod itself or whatever I find, ask the dev on Revolt instead of me on here all the time. I'm glad to answer all of your questions yeah but I'm not gonna be as reliable as one of the developers for this mod. I don't have any info other than what the dev is telling me. Thanks

Some stuff about palace2 I didn't mention in the description (I forgot, sorry): I'm sure the guy recording was just some crazy delusional guy. Yeah they're a developer, but there's no way anyone normal would build, code and record all of that stuff. Also using 3D anaglyph for some scary effect or something. It doesn't frighten me at all. Dev I'm in contact with said that song was made specifically for that place though. I guess they were obsessed with making random houses for themselves out of the same blocks over and over. I like the effort though. I also wanted to say that I still feel like I'm being toyed with by all these people. I got the dev to send me the world (I have NO IDEA how he has the world) and now I'm checking it out. Expect video about it maybe.

Just made palace2 public.

Asked dev guy about palace2 video a while ago but I forgot to mention it. He said it explains why the automated player likes to walk backwards a lot. According to him, it prioritizes those movements specifically only because the person playing was a developer. Dev guy confirmed he was NOT the one playing or recording though. Said he might know the guy because he's another dev but he can't contact him because CONVENIENTLY his discord account got disabled. I can't tell if he's serious about that still.

Sooo I just realized I can do community posts! First off I would like to say that I'm still talking to the developer guy from that one sign. I'm getting some answers to some really big questions I had in my mind. Turns out the weird thing where the game played by itself was intentional. But it also wasn't intentional at the same time. It was meant to exist but of all people I wasn't supposed to see it at all. According to the dev it was supposed to try and get player prediction and stuff working, so all the movements were technically based on every single person that's played that version, including me. Dev doesn't know why it liked to walk backwards though. Another answer from the dev: The song that was playing was supposed to be for a custom dimension. It wasn't supposed to be as loud as it was though. Dimension never ended up being finished though, it's just the song in the files now. Dev also said there's some stuff on the servers that might end up on my computer. Which already happened by the way, it was a video and a text file both with the same name (palace2). I already uploaded the video but it's unlisted. I'll link it eventually, because it might not be as innocent as it seems? Better safe than sorry with weird stuff like this. Don't wanna make something private or weird public without knowing everything about it first. I'll ask dev guy about it first then make it public if he's fine with it.

• @skeletonsir5292: what was up with the sign that said you're still missing something?
• @mcimprove:  @skeletonsir5292  You mean the one in the dev world? I asked the guy and the top and the start of the map were meant to open up after going through everything. Like a tour or something if that makes sense.
