The End of 2023/My recap of this year

Posted by NikoN1nja - December 31st, 2023


So, another year has passed, huh?


Well, I guess it's time for me to make a recap and see what I got. I understand if you don't wanna read all that, but for me this post will be a big retrospective of what I've made so far.


Music


I can safely say this was a year of collaborations for me. 19 audios, and 7 of them were made neither as a collab between me and somebody, or as a part of a big amount of people.


The biggest and the most important one was, without a doubt, the Audio Portal 20th Anniversary Collab, or NGAP20. Arguably the greatest collab in Audio Portal history packed with a lot of great participations, and I'm still kinda proud that I become a part of this event. Of course a lot of credit goes to @MasterHand4444 who made the lyrics and sang them (looking back I kinda f'd up the vocals honestly, but it is what it is already).

Also I've participated in One Day Collab hosted by @TheMonster3159 where I made the intro. Nice small collab, that's all I got to say there.



Also there was a lot of tracks made with some other people:


Collab with DrDxo, who deleted his NG for some reason, but I'm still gonna credit him for making the second half of this track:



Some (kinda) depressive stuff with the singing of @Aalasteir (dude i still can't forget the pieces you send me like wtf):


The most recent collabs made with @PapoFuradoPA were also very good, loved making them!



Overall it was a pretty damn good year in terms of tracks and I think I improved my music making skills compared to the stuff I made in 2022.


Dexta Studios


Around February I joined the Dexta Studios team, a group of creative and talented people that makes pretty damn good animations! I'm not really an animator (duh), so my only work was to neither put the SFX or to make unique audios for a specific movie. That is, basically, how these ones were made:



What can I say about it? Pretty good group, really. Dex is pretty good at controlling the work people do and he also makes some animatics/shots himself (if I remember correctly). I can say a lot of things about the team, but it's just better to watch the animations themself:



Also there's a series we're making, check it out if you haven't:



Yearly stats


There was a big improvement. I had 50 followers at the start of the year, in April you guys pushed it to a 3 digit number, and around a month ago it showed 150. I haven't said anything about 150 though, so I guess I'll say it there. Thank you all guys :)


Also, some other NG stats just for history:

Reviews: ~2500 -> ~5000

B/P: ~100 -> ~14800 (mostly just saves, but it's just me, I simply can't put even 1.5 on something even if it's complete garbage)

Trophies: ~50? -> ~1100

Reached Level 21


Conclusion


I gotta say it was a good year for me. A lot of collabs, a lot of things I made/participated in, nothing really bad happened to me in terms of NG... Everything was... Alright. And I hope the next year will be the same or even better not only for me, but for everyone.


HAPPY 2024!!!
