You can ask any of my friends, I am chronically bad at reaching out. Doesn't mean I don't think about you or miss spending time with you. I just forget to do it for a long time, and when I do remember, I'm embarrassed and don't know what to say. But if you start talking to me, chances are I won't shut up for a while. One of the less fun effects of ADHD. Thinking of you all today #sandfam. No particular reason. It was just easier to talk when it was scheduled every Wednesday and Saturday.

I know a lot of old #sandfam can relate to this. The thing that made me want to be involved so deeply with @TheSandboxGame for so many years was that I was having a blast. I enjoyed building in the Game Maker. I basically never played Minecraft since the Game Maker came out. In general I rarely played any other games because I was having so much fun building and playing what others built. That is the embodiment of the name SANDBOX. As cool as it is for something like Studio to have limitless possibilities, it’s the very limits of Game Maker and its block style that inspired me to create. When I look at Studio, all I can think about is recreating what I wanted to make with Game Maker and the future things I wanted to see happen with it. An effective conversion tool would not only get me back into building with Game Maker, but might actually be the bait I need to finally get hooked into Studio. The question I still haven’t figured out with Studio is “why should I use this over Unity, Unreal, or Godot?” My massive library of voxel assets, avatars, and LAND were my incentive to keep building with my investment of time and money in The Sandbox. I really hope Studio presents utility for those tokens.
