Balloonshroom's News

Posted by Balloonshroom - 5 days ago


I am a rather... creative person.


Whenever I am alone with my thoughts (which I often am), I'll usually start imagining stories and hypothetical scenarios to pass the time. Now, under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be too much. Just make up a plot, make some characters (and by make up, I usually mean steal them from media I watch), find a setting and there you go. I could be entertained for hours from the simplest story.


But recently, around January 12th 2024, the number of daydreams I've been having just EXPLODED in number. All of a sudden I've been thinking about all of these intense intertwined storylines and all of this vivid imagery and they just keep piling up. There's tons of different animations and art that I'd really like to get out of my head and into the real world. I've been doing that with my art recently but I can only work so fast and there's so many stories.


I usually put all the ideas I can actually talk about into a Google Doc for later use but that Doc is HUGE there's 17 things on it, and that's just the stuff I've written. It leaves out all the grotesque gore art and otherworldly kaleidoscope-like imagery I wish I had the skill to draw.


There's so much art I'd like to make on my normal thoughts and daydreams alone. That's not to mention all the stuff I think about in my dreams. Today alone I have had not 1, not 2 but 3 vivid dreams that I really wish I could make into an animation. I'd (figuratively) kill to have someone make all my art and animation ideas for me. Unfortunately, most If not all of my ideas are forced to forever remain locked inside my head with no hope of ever escaping. Such is the fate of the creative mind.


Thank you for reading this post.

New art based on St. Patricks day here. Actually finished on time. Unlike Pi day.

Hey guys. Just remembered it's Pi Day today. Happy Pi Day, I guess.

New art coming later today, hopefully.

That's it. Thank for reading this Some News Post.

BFDIA 10 used that one iconic piano song everyone know about for its credit sequence and I don't know the name of it. Does anyone here know the name of it?

Fun Fact: It has been 2 years and 2 days since My Twosday Special back on Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022. Huh, it feels like that was only TWO months ago. How twome- sorry, how time flies, huh.

Botany Presser’s Anniversary:

Botany Presser has officially turned 3 years old as of February 13th 2024. Botany Presser, known as Button Clicker Tower Defense at the time, was the first REAL game I've ever made. (Nothing Simulator technically isn’t a game and A Game About Tanks is more of a test project than anything) I put a lot of effort into this game and I am proud of how it has turned out. I wish I could do more though.

To celebrate this momentous occasion I have made some art for it. Here's the art. I wish I could celebrate more but to be honest I don’t want to do anything as of right now. 

There are some things I‘ve always wanted to do with it besides making it a full game. I’ve wanted to port Botany Presser as it is right now to Flash. I want to draw Botany Presser characters in [literally anything but Scratch]. I’ve also wanted to make a website dedicated to Balloonshroom with things involving Botany Presser in them but unfortunately, I don’t know how to code. I’d really like to do this one though.

Here’s to Botany Presser’s 3 Year Anniversary and to many more after.


Another Occasion:

I’m also proud to report that I myself am also reaching a monumental milestone in my life within the first quarter of 2024. It‘s actually close to BP’s anniversary too. I wonder if anyone here can guess what the occasion is.


What's happening currently:

I've been in a depressive mood recently. I talk about it more here but long story short, I wish I could make more of a positive impact on the world. Thankfully however, Lizguy74 has been lifting my spirits by spreading positive commentary on my art and news posts. He's even recommending my content to other people. He's also come up with a cure for cancer and solved world hunger. That last part isn't true but the point is he's a hero to me. I like him a lot. Generally seems like a great guy. If you're reading this post thank you. I'm glad i was able to have a positive impact on one person.

I’ve already talked about this in a forum post but recently I’ve downloaded Dolphin, the GameCube/Wii emulator and I think it’s really good. I downloaded 5 games onto it as of now. Does anyone have any suggestions for games for me to play?


Other stuff: 

I should probably talk about some other stuff that has happened since my last Some News segment.

I've just noticed this now but I've finally reached and surpassed 50 fans on Newgrounds. PeintiumMHX was the 50th fan. Only took 3 years. Nice. Hope I can reach 100 fans within my lifetime.

You know, speaking of websites, I have quite a few I’d like to make. Remember the mystery site I wanted to make back in 2022? I don’t want to make it anymore. I now want to make plenty of different sites, all with different purposes and I'd like someone to help me with them. If anyone could at least show me how to code my own site that would be nice. There's a lot of different things I'd like to do in my lifetime but sadly I am currently unable to achieve most of them.

I’ve been thinking about getting my art commissioned (this doesn’t mean I’m doing commissions myself). I currently have 2 art projects I was going to make but I wasn't able to make them on time. I’d like someone else to draw specifically the first one but unfortunately I prefer to have it done for free and I don’t think anyone is willing to do it for free so I guess I’m just out of luck.


I have finished updating this post. Thank you for reading it.

Tomorrow is Botany Presser's 3 year anniversary. I, at this moment (8:30 AM Feb 12 2024), have nothing planned but I'll see what I can do as the day goes on.

Everywhere I look, I often see lots of bad things happening to people. To the world. And I hate it. I hate that things are this way. I want to better the world but I can't I have no power, I have no control over peoples lives. I don't think most people on Newgrounds, let alone scratch know what Balloonshroom is. I'm tired of seeing this. I'm tired of sitting around watching all of this unfold. I want to change things. If I could even help the world in one way, anyway I would be grateful. I'm just exhausted from seeing so much negativity in the world.


This probably seems a little weird for me to post suddenly but it's just, I'm tired of making low quality art all the time for basically no one. I don't enjoy making all this art anymore. I only make art because I want to make others happy with it. But other than a comment here and there I don't see anyone happy from it. Does anyone even enjoy my art?


Posted by Balloonshroom - January 23rd, 2024


Ever since December 27th 2023, I've been making tons of art nonstop and I've never felt tired once but today I can't seem to find the motivation to start my next art project. No matter how much i try, I can't seem to bring my self to work on it.


I don't like this.
