what happened?

School has been pretty good for me, Im putting in all my effort and giving school my absolute attention, hence why I haven't posted anything.
but recently I decided to hop back onto simpleplanes to see what is new with the game, and all i can say is-
What happened?

So far this is what i can make out of Simpleplane's current state:
Simpleplanes had its last update, people are cranking out some of the most eye-boggling creations like clockwork, and, well... This game is sort of just left on a straight train track, whether the track deforms, inclines, depresses, or stops- is now at the fate of its dear community.

Ever since the first day i saw simpleplanes, i have been hooked, no other game has this endless sense of creativity where the only thing stopping you from making whatever you want is you own knowledge. I almost cried today when i saw that first sentence: "Today we are releasing our final update for Simpleplanes." this may seem like something ordinary to some, but to me, this means that Simpleplanes is in its completed state. Simpleplanes has been bid farewell by Jundroo, now putting the focus on Juno, am I mad at them for this? No, not at all, as a Certified Halo fan i have dealt with this sort of thing (I.E. Bungie leaving Halo to work on Destiny, their spoiled child), and because of this I also know where the future of this game lies:

In our hands.

This game is a memory we must cherish, and even though Jundroo hasn't forgotten about Simpleplanes, it is up to us to preserve this game for as long as we can, so, with that said...
have a nice day.

    @DatMaluchGuy19 I started building again.
    It feels a bit strange after stopping for so long, but I'm progressing anyways.

    @RepublicOfCursedPlanes i hope my crappy ahh livery will also help, even if its just affecting the newest creation number by like... 1% or less, i still hope i, you, and others still had that passion on sp still inside of us, and yes, i still play sp, only for goofy shenanigans for some reason, if im bored, i will always try to find ways to break sp (some of it are completely accidental btw) and if im on the mood again, who knows? Maybe i will post something for the foreseeable future, or i will quit the community forever? Again, It depends on so many things.

    Yep, the last update was released, and now a bunch of users are leaving.
    Hopefully, my comment still holds weight, and that people stay here for their passion.

    That pretty much sums it up.
    This game only dies once the community goes silent. It hit a dead end on updates but it'll live as long as the people inside it stick around.
