1/8/21 -- WHAT? A ... 2021 update? That's gotta be a joke, right? Nope!
Hi. It's the artist formly known as "K" here, but you can call me "Ryde" now, or if you're really stuck with the "K" letter, "Kyzorai" will do. So much has changed in these last - the hub says 13, but I deleted the first one so I know its been 14 going on 15!! years -- but I still feel an incredible gratefulness for each and every one of you who has ever played this game, and the fact that there have been people who came onto this page in the past year, years, etc., talking about it, wanting it back, or just wanting to reconnect with old friends? Has me super emotional.
You guys -- not BYOND, but the incredible community I am forever blessed to have met -- were the driving force behind my passion to create; to make things for others to enjoy. It is not an exaggeration to say that I, likely 12 years old when you knew me, am now an almost-25 year old who has made his (yes, his! time changes a LOT of things) entire life path based on the feeling I got from bringing together people by creating something that they ended up finding community, friends, and happiness through.
I would love to do that again. I don't know if it'll be through BYOND -- I doubt it, honestly. But I could be convinced otherwise.
If anybody has any desire to help point me in the right direction, rib me on how awful I was as a pre-teen, say hi, or tell me what I should make next and what the heck I should be doing to do things the right way by you -- please feel free to hit me up; you can reach me on discord at ryde#2303 or e-mail at
[email protected]; e-mail will be updated soon and a site will be added in the near future to show you guys my current projects so you can see the kinda stuff I can do now.
Thank you so much for being here after so long. DNO community, you were, and are, the absolute fucking best.
