The Truth

Posted by Moosh - February 29th, 2012

Hey guys,

So... It's been a while, I know... There's probably not that many people that really care anymore, but for those that actually do, you guys deserve the truth.

No, I'm not dead nor did I kill myself (which some people think for some reason x_x"). It's not as extravagant as that.

---

The reason I've been gone for so long was that, I had to move to another city by myself for school, and I could only bring a few of my things (whatever could fit on a one-way airplane trip). Because of that, I had to leave my computer behind, and I was pretty much left alone in this big city with just clothes and food money. Without my computer, it's pretty hard to work on anything, let alone go on the internet....

So when I finally could come back online months after, there were so many emails, PMs and messages that I just couldn't really respond to all of them... @_@.

I felt so horrible for those who've tried to contact me without any response... and I thought that maybe I should just hope that no one remembers me and eventually I'll just become something of the past... I know there's so many people that hate me right now...

But I kept on receiving messages. Emails and messages from some of the most supportive and amazing people, whom never failed to lift my spirits (... and yes, I have read them all). And I knew that I shouldn't hide anymore and the very least I could do was provide the truth.

---

I know it's probably only 2 or 3 people that really care at this point, but to those 2 or 3 people... you are fucking awesome, and I want you to know that. I cannot thank you enough.

So that's pretty much it... I just hope I didn't cause too much trouble...

I'm not one of em. Fans of your games maybe? I think your art was great. Had you favd there.

Moosh 2012-02-29 05:18:09

Ahh haha, well either way, thank you for liking my art c:

Industriel 2012-02-29 21:45:57

Glad to know you're doing well, or at least alive. Don't think that you'll ever fade into obscurity, cause your fanbase will always come back to check up on you. Hopefully you have some ideas for new content!

Moosh 2012-02-29 21:45:57

Yeah, it's kinda surprising... I never knew people could be so supportive like that... It's amazing, or at least to me lol.

And yes! I have a lot of new ideas. Although, I might want to ask some people first and see what they think and maybe get their ideas as well :D

Wolfus06 2012-02-29 22:38:31

Well come back!!. np, you may leave but you alway will be remembered. will you continue doing things here in newgrounds?

Moosh 2012-02-29 22:38:31

Thank you! (:

I already have a few things in the works, but I'm actually really interested in what people want to see as well.

newdiger 2012-02-29 23:28:54

Glad to know your well and back

Moosh 2012-02-29 23:28:54

Thank you. I hope everyone is good and well too (:

ero-chigan 2012-03-01 01:50:10

you would never be forgotten cause a lot of people love your work

Moosh 2012-03-01 01:50:10

Haha thank you... It means a lot to me... c:

Henselishere 2012-03-01 02:04:54

You'll never be forgotten, I know I'll always watch for your work. And doubt I'm the only one. When you're good you're never forgotten. Best of luck with you're school, it's tough out there.

Moosh 2012-03-01 02:04:54

Why thank you, good sir c:

ShinobiEx 2012-03-01 20:44:15

you are awesome for returning, nuff said :D

Moosh 2012-03-01 20:44:15

Thanks bro :D

MexicanNinja 2012-03-02 05:28:22

Dear Moosh,

I write as a fan and (I hope you see me as such) a friend. The first thing I have to say is that this is the first time I've logged into Newgrounds in several years. The only reason why I logged in after all that time was seeing your latest post. I am honestly elated to see that you're okay! Ever since seeing your submissions years ago I fell in love with your art, as I'm sure many other people did. You are so talented; your characters have such life in them that make them feel real. The girls are beautiful, the guys are badass, the nerds and emos.... well nerdy and emo-ish. Reminds me of me back in middle school to be honest. Each of your posts were amazing in my opinion, only overshadowed by your beautiful artwork.

I don't know everything about the stuff that's been going on in your life, but from your work I can tell that you've been hurt and life has been rough. I don't know you in real life, but I have been keeping you in my thoughts and my prayers for the past couple of years. I only wish the best for you. I would love to see more of your beloved artwork but I have only two things to ask of you: take care of yourself first and remember that there those of us that really care about you, not just your artwork or flash submissions.

I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope your life in the big city really turns around. Please remember how much your fans love you, and if any of them are like me I won't ever stop being a fan. Even if you stop making flash games and art, I won't forget the amazing things you did for us on Newgrounds and I'm not just speaking for myself.

With love and respect from California,
Joel the MexicanNinja

P.S. Is there any way I can support you? If you sell any merch I'd be willing to buy something like a t-shirt or whatevs. Plus I'm an amateur story-writer so if you need any help with stories on a flash game let me know.

P.P.S. I will most likely launch a website to help people make some extra cash by the end of 2010 (if we're all still alive that is). If you're interested I'll contact you with the website information when it finally launches, and if you're interested by launch time... I'll give you the special "Moosh" discount! Anything to help out my fave Newgrounds artist! ;D

Moosh 2012-03-02 05:28:22

Omg...

See... It's these really intense messages that leave me speechless... 'cause seriously... I don't know what to say XD

Although, I can say this. I cannot thank you enough... I'm so glad that you've appreciated my work so much and the support you give me seriously keeps me going, and continuing to make stuff for myself and everyone else. Seriously... It really does... Sometimes I have nothing else really pushing me forward except the extremely kind words like from yourself.

And ummm... I'll probably never sell merch haha. Kind messages and email is support totally enough ^_^ And I actually love working with writers since... most of the games I've worked on are simulation games with plot and lots of dialogue haha.

Also cool! Hopefully the mayans were wrong, so I can check it out haha.

Well anyways, thanks again MexicanNinja, for all the kind words :D <3

nbburns 2012-03-02 08:03:22

Yay. Glad to see you back! A lot of people have missed you. And don't worry, we won't judge you... OR WILL WE?! O~o

Moosh 2012-03-02 08:03:22

Ohai! I hope not... D:

(Probably happening already..... T_T)

Freakster00f 2012-03-02 23:44:40

Hey man, I knew you were still out there somewhere and is good to have you back. It thanks to you and your Flashes that really got me forward and your 'Moosh Tutorial 2' has helped me alot.

Good to hear from ya again and hope you settle your stuff soon

Moosh 2012-03-02 23:44:40

Haha, I'm glad it's still helping people! I wish you good luck and hope you continue to improve in your drawings :)

xThiago0 2012-03-03 02:02:43

Honestly, I just made this account for this one comment that I'm making right now.
I've kept checking Newgrounds every so often for the passed years, maybe, for one reason. The reason being this one little piece of the internet. Three years, maybe? I don't know. I remember you announcing Pico RPG, and I'd check back every April to see if there were some updates on it. Your Lucid series had me pretty excited, too.
So.. Any spoilers for some new projects, maybe? Are you still going to work on anything?
Glad to see you back. Moving is tough shit, I understand that, just hope you can get back on your feet soon.
Today's been shitty, but this made me smile a little. :D.

Moosh 2012-03-03 02:02:43

Haha... srsly? You crazy...

The thing about Pico RPG and Lucid, is that... they're reaaally old ideas so I was really wondering if people still wanted to see it finished... But I do have newer stuff almost in the works so I actually wanted to see if it would be something that you guys would like.

Either way, I hope it's only today that was shitty haha. It's Friday so you got the whole weekend to make up for it!

Newgate 2012-03-03 23:00:15

We missed ya for sure. Your still my favorite flash maker and artist. Don;t stay gone too long now... Have a good life budd. Newgrounds'll always be here for you.

Moosh 2012-03-03 23:00:15

Haha thanks bud, I'll try to update with stuff as soon as I get something update with :)

x-factor11 2012-03-03 23:32:46

MOOSH IS ALIVE!

Moosh 2012-03-03 23:32:46

MAYBE!

Safst3r 2012-03-04 06:37:29

Missed your work, man :') I still have a few in my favourites that I look back at every now and then. You'll never be forgotten!

Moosh 2012-03-04 06:37:29

Brakethroo 2012-03-04 22:50:10

Zettaireido 2012-03-09 01:57:11

Wow, I almost can't believe it. Now that you're back you should work on putting sex scenes in Pico simdate lol. But no seriously, welcome back.

Moosh 2012-03-09 01:57:11

Haha thanx. The sad part is if enough people ask, I probably would :p

Moosh 2012-03-11 21:16:16

Wyvern-Knight 2012-03-12 16:59:08

I've always wanted to thank you for your anime drawing tutorials, they helped me a lot when i was learning how to draw anime, so thanks a lot :)

Moosh 2012-03-12 16:59:08

I'm glad they've helped! I hope you continue to get better at drawing (:

BlueeyedKisara 2012-03-12 19:58:02

Sorry, I wasn't one of the ones sending messages, but it's nice to see that you didn't disappear off the face of the earth. I'm a fan of your work. I only come onto newgrounds every couple months to see if any of the people I follow are active and lo and behold, here you are.

Life gets in everyone's way nowadays, but it takes someone strong to get through it despite it's challenges. I'm happy that you're one of the strong ones.

Moosh 2012-03-12 19:58:02

Ahh life life... you get used to it I guess. Although, I'm not sure I would consider myself one of the strong ones... but thank you for thinking so... <3
