My secret heir
7 years ago
General
Six years ago, in 2012, I was blissfully ignorant and thought my art skills where actually good (while drawing anatomical abomination), I was so full of myself that I had the guts to go out and.... created a Flash game. One of those that people use to create characters.
.... RENAMON CREATOR. A super shitty click-to-change-colors&clothes-style "game" that had a ton of scribbly vector drawings and really unfitting decorations. It felt like nobody even used it. These "genius flash works" got so buried in dA nobody besides your watchers ever found it. It was so personal that I created a whole big dress-up-game for a friend to parody their character.
All that was done on a second secret account because for some reason. Naturally I deleted the account once a friend found it and just went back to my big one. Not much later I quit dA overall and joined FR in an attempt to be alone with my gallery FOR WHATEVER REASON.
Anyways. The Flash games where lost. They just disappeared as my account was deleted and while I used to have the flash-files I never intended to "bless" FurAffinity with my """games""" because back then I actually found some self awareness and realized that my drawings were... "not that good" to put it kindly x"D
Today, six years later, I tried to find a specific humor-comic I once created. In a desperate attempt to win back what was lost forever I searched around on dA, couldn't remember my account name and just searched for "Renamon Creator" because I knew some folks actually made shitty Flash Renamon.
Turns out it wasn't just a couple of them either. The ""game"" was quiet popular with a bunch of people and they were sad it was lost. (I'M SO SORRY LMAO)
But some hero with good internet browser skills had saved a backup and uploaded it on Dropbox.
Yes. That thing.... it is still out there. He wasn't active for two years or something but made sure the Dropbox link lives on.
Not only that but I also found links to a German fansite hosting it.
It took some scrolls through the Renamon tag on dA but the most recent uploads where from July. July 2018 guys.
I'm sitting here, crying in laughter because every once in a few months someone finds out about the RENAMON CREATOR V2 and uploads a badly recolored Renamon with DEVIL WINGS, VAMPIRE TEETH, ZOROARK TAIL, Neon Blue and Red colors or green hair and similar abominations and types up some meme-worthy OC-description for it. Or just... uploads a bunch of Super hero Renamon with a cape in 5 different colors. It's amazing.
Yes. This is it. This is the work that gets shared around for 6 years straight. Not any of my bad fanarts from back then and no bad fanart I'll ever do will reach this level of "importance" that people are actually going out and trying to save it from fading. I could delete everything today and nothing will be known about me 10 years later but the Renamon Creator V2 will still be out there. Nobody knows who made it but it sits there, waiting for that one unfortunate soul that'll think it's actually good and spend time on it to create another recolored superhero or vampire Renamon and put it out there to remind the deviantArt Renamon-tag that it'll never be free of the agony that are recolored OCs.
My legacy has been forged.
Edit: I bothered to check the game more properly. It actually reads "Renamon SUBSPECIES creator V2" ahhahahahahah. And it has bugs, of course. But my favorite thing is how the starting screen says PRE-RELEASE
I LOST IT.

Aber trotzdem geil, dass der Creator immer noch so aktiv genutzt wird, echt hammer. xD
Das Ding ist so unglaublich schlecht gemacht aber DAS ist was von meiner dA-Aktivität geblieben ist xDDD
Immerhin hast du jetzt ne Legacy xD mach vielleicht ne Legacy V3 drauß irgendwann xD natürlich der Pre-Release und vergiss den Season Pass nicht
