Sorry for going dark for so long

As I'm sure some of you know, I've been rather self isolating for 2-3 weeks now, dealing with a lot of thoughts, feelings, and decisions.  Without getting too much into it, I'm thinking of taking a new direction in life, or at least a side step to the left.

Before my self isolation I mostly was trying to get back into the swing of vtubing because I honestly didnt know what else to do with myself, but I feel like I may "quit".  Now I'm going to quit by label only.  

I think I want to focus on learning how to make video games.  I had an idea for one that will take a very long time, especially by myself, and thats okay.  I was thinking after I learn parts of it, I could even stream what I'm working on.  I'd also probably want to stream games here and there for funsies, I do very much like gaming with my friends.

Now some questions people may have:

Argama, Pepper, Rippa? What will happen to them?  Well I will probably keep the avatars around.  I do like them, they are fun.  As far as what to call me, well any is fine, honestly.  However, Pepperplaysvt twitch and Argamawitch channel /may/ be renamed. 

Renaming: I would probably want to do an umbrella name for all my content, originally it was Argama which was to represent the content as well as being a name, but I figured thats so ingrained into the vtuber community that I would use a studio name, which I have thought of, and you may start seeing the logo appear in places.  I am debating if I want to start new social media accounts (twitter/Youtube/twitch) under the new name or just rename all of my current stuff and 

What about patreon content? Patreon will be reformatted to be more of a blog style thing.  I will keep people informed on my progress and use supporters to help fund my game.  Now I understand that people may not want to support that and I fully expect to lose patreons.  I understand, no hard feelings.  I will probably be stopping drawing the lewds.  Also, once everything is all set up and ready which probably wont be for a few months, once that happens, all the lewds on here will be deleted, to cater to more broad audience.  I dont draw them as much as I use to and mostly did it to practice animating, however I dont know what ot animate anymore, lol.  I may try to resurrect the adult twitter for that content if I do decide to continue with it.   As far the Patreon tiers, I will still have the 1$ for support, and will get early information that will normally be posted else where along with concepts.  5$ or more tiers will be used to showcase more WIP, access to community input and so on.  This probably wont be something for a while but again, it is what it is.  anything over 5$ will be given the same as below, its mostly just incase people want to support more.  I dont want to limit so much access to the content itself.  I may also make any demos accessible to 5$ up tiers. 

What kind of game will you make? Well I have an idea for 2 games.  I plan to work on them both at the same time.  This way I dont burn out completely on one and can jump to the other.  The first one is a very ambitious crafting game that will probably take me 10 years or so, if I'm looking at it realistically.  The other is a visual novel based on a story I started many a moon ago.  I'll be rewriting it to fit more a visual novel style.  This one will be more text and art based, created in RenPy (so I get to refresh myself on and learn more Python) and the other will be Unreal Engine 5 (and that I'll be learning C++ from scratch, wooo...)

What about your discord?  Well I'm still on the fence if I want to reformat my current discord to be a more dev discord, or if I want to make a new one from scratch.  If you have any thoughts on that let me know.

If you have any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them.  This post is kinda open to everyone. So yeah.
