Came out of an NG contest feeling worse

Posted by J-XVII - August 18th, 2021


The best effort and ability I can put in garnered me a 5.5. Martian Mummies is by far the most complex musical piece I have made, and with Auxy I can’t push it much further, I can’t sidechain, I can’t upload in anything besides mp3, I have to use an audio converter just to do that, and I can’t just add more. I don’t have the money for something like FL, and no I will not fucking pirate it, those of you saying that are absolute scum. I am so tired of putting everything in through my goddamn adhd and depression, just to be late, and even then, I wouldn’t have even made it to round 2. I get that this isn’t about how good I do, for me it is. I hate losing. I always have, because I hate ME. This is my only medium I feel like I truly can enjoy myself. And I feel like I can’t anymore. Hell, I couldn’t even bring myself to make anything for round 2 in the last competition. I can’t do this anymore. I have to cancel all my projects, I quit. I’m sorry.

Look, don't hit yourself too hard. Ya did your best, ya tried to push through, and that's a good thing, if you ask me, perseverance.
I'll summarize this just to make sure it isn't a wall of text and I don't mean to be rude, but don't quit your projects because of a contest.

Hey buddy, I feel you. I have been participating in contests here on Newgrounds such as Pico Day or the FNF JAM. I think my Pico movie deserved a prize for how original I thought it was and because I made it in one month, and even if it didn't... It has been one of the most voted movies I have so far. Just as Shint said, perseverance is key to everything.
Don't expect to be famous soon or get enough recognition, but that's what contests here are made for. You can do great stuff.

Just keep trying and trying and eventually, who knows, maybe we will see you as first prize!
