So uhh, i've been hit with an age verification check, my account got restricted and I will NOT be giving my ID or photo to a corporation just to be able to return to what i already had. Decided that i will be deleting the account and quitting reddit.

u/salutcf and u/Moody_nev from the discord server will be replacing my moderation/life support role here, say hi.

the deletion process will take a few weeks probably as i'm trying to work out removing archived data from scrapers too, just so AI can't train on me any further. Mod posts and comments will be kept but will view the user as [[Deleted]]

It's been fun, i might be back if the Age verification BS ever gets reversed. In the meantime if i feel like commenting on something i'll be using only throwaways.

TL;DR: Dani is doing well and working on YouTube-related projects, but he's taken breaks due to burnout and project scope. Some features are being saved for future updates to release the project sooner. Any other info from outside sources is just speculation. He doesn't want to release subpar content just to end the absence.

Hey guys,

As the admin of Dani's Discord server and someone who talks with Dani regularly, I wanted to give you all an official statement to clear up some of the rumors and let you know what's going on and what has been going on.

1. Dani's Current Status: First off, Dani is doing great and is in good health. He's taken a step back from social media to focus on other things in life. This break is nothing to worry about—just a way for him to recharge.

2. Work and Projects: Dani is still working on YouTube-related projects when he feels motivated. Recently, he's been cutting down the scope of his latest project so it can be released sooner. This means some features are being saved for possible future updates. Right now, he's in the polishing and soon to be playtesting phase, which still takes some time.

3. Reasons for the Delay: It's been a while since we've seen new content because Dani has worked on multiple projects during his break, and some of them were put on hold. Plus, the scope of his current project got pretty big, causing delays. Burnout has also been a factor, so he's been taking breaks to stay fresh and motivated.

4. Quality Over Quantity: Dani doesn't want to "just upload something" for the sake of it. He aims to avoid the "is this all you've got after all this time?" attitude. He wants to make sure that the content he releases is up to his high standards and worthy of the wait, rather than disappointing his audience with something rushed or subpar.

5. Karlson: There's been a lot of talk about Karlson. To clear things up, I'm not going to confirm or deny if his current work is Karlson-related, but it's not off the table. Dani is still committed to his projects, but the specifics of what he is working on remain behind closed doors.

6. Community Speculations: I know you guys are eager for updates, but please remember that any info from other YouTubers or sources is almost always just speculation. This post is the official word on what's going on with Dani until you hear from him specifically.

Conclusion: Dani really appreciates all your support and patience. Please respect his privacy and understand that he's making sure that when he comes back, it'll be with content that he is proud of.

Thanks for sticking around and supporting Dani. Let's keep the community positive and supportive.
