hey, so this is something i& #39;ve been needing to get off my back for a while
i love route-making. always have, always will. it& #39;s a super time-consuming process, but it& #39;s always very fun making my own versions of locations I& #39;ve loved for so many years
(thread below)

however, i& #39;ve found that since i& #39;ve started hosting my routes on sudrian industries, I& #39;ve had a few people come and ask for help with their routes (i won& #39;t name who because... y& #39;know, I& #39;m only sort of a dick :p)
and i don& #39;t mean just asking feedback, i mean like. taking out time-

-to help them actually make the routes. this is usually fine. i comply because i want to help
but please
PLEASE
do not just send me a CDP and tell me to go at it.
i need something to gauge how long a project will be, gimme something to actually do

ask me to help with clutter or towns or trackwork, that& #39;s fine! PLEASE don& #39;t just tell me to do whatever
it& #39;s not like this has been just one guy or anything, it has been a few people now
i take music requests, i voice for people, because these are SHORT and EASY things to do

routes can take weeks, months, hell, i& #39;d say years
it& #39;s an art, really, and one that takes tons of practice and feedback
I& #39;m happy to give feedback, I& #39;m happy to help, but PLEASE give me some sort of direction to help you
otherwise, I& #39;m using up my time-

-doing something for someone, and having to put off any other projects because it puts pressure on me to get the project done. it& #39;s not just something I& #39;m doing for fun, it& #39;s something that another guy wants, so i put everything aside and get tf to wrk

i don& #39;t like making threads like these! i really don& #39;t!
i like trying to be a cheerful gal, but when it feels like people are almost using you, with no reward or sense of completion, it& #39;s hard to not feel slightly mad

i don& #39;t expect anything in return for helping with a route, i just expect some sort of guideline so i can help you get through
i rarely do collabs, and if i were to, it would be with very close friends (you know who you are lol)

but i& #39;m happy to try give you a little push in the right direction, so long as you& #39;re willing to help me help you
route-making is a long process, i need to have some sort of idea as to how long I& #39;m really needed to help for

i& #39;m sorry if this sounds selfish, but I& #39;m a bit fed up of people asking me for help with routes, only for me to start feeling slightly pressured
it& #39;s not anyone& #39;s fault (apart from maybe me lol), i should have put something like this out earlier instead of telling myself-

-& #39;c& #39;mon just get it done with& #39;, but i think i finally need to sit down and think about it
hopefully you guys understand

TLDR: I& #39;m happy to give feedback and help people with routes, so long as you can tell me WHERE you need help

thank you for reading

i apologise if this is a bit angrier than it& #39;s meant to be, I& #39;ve had a long night, and my parents are starting to yell at each other, so perhaps this thread is a bit... over-dramatic?
