Chapter.74 03/14/2024 Deep Space Domain Lord's Weekly Journal

Hey everyone! It's time for our weekly journal again!
I'm super late today! But I still managed to push this out XD
I held an info session on Thursday, and honestly, just doing that had my heart pounding out of my chest. I can't even imagine how fast my heart will be racing on the day of the official reveal. Thinking back, I always get incredibly nervous and shake like a leaf before any big announcement... fingers crossed everything goes smoothly on the big day XD
3.0 is truly going to be a massive, comprehensive update. Honestly, I'm feeling pretty anxious about it. I saw some Little Cottons saying this update feels almost like a complete reincarnation. Truth be told, I've been really worried that you guys might not even recognize me anymore. But with time and so many other factors pushing me forward, I thought maybe it's time to just take the plunge and give it my all. I'll probably never have the courage or opportunity to do something like this again. With that in mind, I decided to go for it. Even though I'm terrified you won't recognize me, I'm going to do my best to reintroduce myself and give you every reason to keep supporting me! Sending a secret, warm hug to every single one of you who has stuck around. Thank you!
I received a Marshmallow from a Little Cotton asking about the crowdfunding some of you organized for my third anniversary. You originally thought about donating directly to me through the official website, but wondered if gifting memberships might be better for channel growth. I am so, so incredibly grateful for your support and encouragement! If we're talking about growth and promotion, gifting memberships is definitely the better route. But the downside is that the platform's fees are much higher. I think everyone who contributed should talk it over and see what you all prefer! Honestly, no matter which way you choose, it's going to be a massive help to me. Thank you so much!
Over the past couple of days, I've actually wrapped up most of the work I had on my plate, so I started making the promotional materials for the reveal. This is my first time trying out this kind of visual effect, and I'm not entirely sure how it'll turn out. I really hope it blows you all away, but part of me is also terrified of messing it up. I racked my brain beforehand trying to come up with ideas to help get the word out, and I was stressing over what to do if the results fell flat. But as I kept working on it, I realized that even if it doesn't get huge reach, my Little Cottons are still here watching my work, and my skills are still improving. No matter what, I'm gaining something from this, so I'm not stressing about it as much anymore (though of course, getting a great response would be the dream!).
Anyway, this week's journal is on the shorter side, but I can't leave without dropping the teaser poster to brainwash you all a little XD
See you next week! (Or I might just take a week off from the journal XD)
