  Been playing a lot of survival recently to test out some stuff :D (And I need your opinion)
  Update – and! The main reason why is because I've been wanting to do a complete re-work of my Medieval/ Nordic bundle for the past years time, but never had a reason to do so. But now, I've found a style of survival friendly building, that still fits the bundle!
  
  Current plan is to split all buildings into 1 of 4 categories: Castle, Exterior, Survival, Extra's.
  I hope to update the bundle some time in July, but I'll make a wall-post about it when I'm done with the update.
  
  
  Opinion – On another note: Is there any of my other uploads you would like me to update, or maybe a new bundle/ project related to Minecraft that you'd like me to try out? :D

  It's officially been half a year since the last update :')
  
  I wanted to write a long text about how everything has been going since I became a background hermit, but yeah... Aint no-one going to read that :'D
  
  So the quick overview of how things have been since half a year ago:
  – I love being a background hermit!
  – I'm much less stressed, and have had time to focus on my education.
  – Been messing around with YouTube ideas, and video editing software.
  – Started a new YouTube channel where I just make content I find funny.
  – Found a new building style that I've fallen in love with.
  – Education is damn difficult (but fun!) and exams are in May... im so dead :'D
  – Reading still hurts my brain, but in a good way now :D
  
  As a last note (and kind of advice to you, the reader): Whenever YouTubers and creators in general were like "I'll be taking a break", I would always be like "How could they want that?! They have so much success, and they're living their dream job!", but now, having experienced how much better you can feel from taking a break... Do yourself a favor: If you ever begin to find the process of creating your content awful, then take a break from it all, and go do something you would find fun. No need to tell anyone you're taking a break :p
  (I just realized while writing, that it resembles Facebook inspirational quotes... I apologize for the cringe :'D )

  Foreground Hermits. That's it I just wanted to say something, and I didn't know what.
  
  Good luck on those examinations.

  Long post ahead! You have been warned ;p
  
  Short version:
  - I'm not going to be active on PMC anymore. Maybe a single blog ever so often, but I'll be more of a background hermit than an active part of the website. I'm on good terms with all the staff, this is really just a result of life picking up steam, and me wanting to move on to other projects such as making and releasing my first album + doing theater on full time.
  
  Long version:
  - I owe this community, and PMC as a website, a thank you that cannot be expressed through words. I have no sad story to tell of why I am leaving PMC, and I'm on good terms with the staff team. Then why am I leaving anyway, if everything is good? Surely something terrible must have happened? Well no. People change, Interests die, and new ones are born. That's why I'm leaving. It's not to say that I'm leaving Minecraft altogether. On the contrary, I've been enjoying playing survival with some friends on our own little public server.
  I would really just like to close this chapter of my life, and move on to other stuff. I'm still a creative soul, but instead of creating Minecraft content, I've been recording and producing my own music for the past 3 years, and it recently clicked for me, when I realized: This is what I want to do. I want to use my creative drive, to create an album. Do I expect this to be a success? HAH! No :'D But I still want to make it.
  PMC taught me an important lesson about creativity and creative drive: You shouldn't be making anything, while having other people in mind. Of course it's awesome when others like what you're making as well, but in the end; there is just one fan and one critic you have to convince: Yourself.
  
  So in 1-2 years time, you'll see an album from me :D . But my days on PMC as an active persistent member of this community is over. If anything, I'll be a background hermit, appearing at random to do something, and then disappear again. I don't have any social media or anything where you can follow me, if I am of such interest to you :') However, I will still be able to contact via Discord: Ōjo Kurinji#0658
  
  Thank you are words that we use too often for their actual impact and meaning to be felt, so just know, that every single subscriber, comment, hater, diamond, favorite, download- All of the people that ever supported me or hated me on this platform. Thank you. You all made my almost 10 years on PlanetMinecraft, worth every minute I spend in here.

  We haven't interacted with each other all that much, but during the limited time we were in contact, it has been a pleasure working with you. I wish you all the best!

  Kwanatla said 2021-11-08 12:19:24

  

  Thanks to you as well for being an awesome person! I have some very fond memories of your Greenleaf Creative Server and have often been inspired by your projects. Have a good time, Tom! ;D

  And the final upload for some time!
  Remember the sneak-peek I gave you of the 1938 British Super Marine Spitfire - Single-seat Fighter Aircraft? You might have seen it uploaded on PMC before, as this is actually my 4th time uploading this build to PMC. I have been using this build as a test for what effect having a render vs. screenshots make, and the result is quite amazing.
  
  You can read the result in the post, and you can now download the Spitfire as well :)

  An old build that finally got the love it deserved!
  Question: What was the first mega-build I ever did 100% by myself?
  Answer: The Iron Mammoth project!
  
  And after 2,5 years, I finally got to update it with a proper render of the warhammer 40k inspired mega-build + a new description in the bottom with a reference to what inspired this monster of a Nuclear Waste Heavy Trasnporter as I imagened it to be :D
  
  Oh yeah, and you can now download it :)

  First update as part of the "new TomConn"
  Hmm, what's new? Well, first of all I've redone my profile. Most likely won't be the final product as there are still some minor changes I want to make, but!
  
  The big change is that I've updated The Official PMC Museum with Renders made by I Place Blocks + added a download-able version of the museum so that you can go greif it attend it in an orderly manner ;)
  
  it looks go good! O_O

  My profile is a mess... But!
  I've been working on some submissions that are actually ready for release. I just have to click the "Publish" button, however, I would like to first fix up a few things on my profile so that it looks a little more presentable for when I start uploading stuff :')
  
  But! I am actually having fun with messing around in all this, and don't feel as much pressure to "perform well". I should also mention that I'll temporarily be taking down the PMC Museum and the Iron Mammoth projects, as I need to add some extra stuff to those two. Though I will just leak this photo from one of the projects I've been working on :)

  On a note that's a bit more serious than my usual stuff:
  Been thinking about the future of TomConn as a profile here on PMC. While working on the Box of Thoughts blog, it has given me time to reflect on where this profile should go and I have a few ideas. TomConn has become synonymous with the slime character and a specific kind of art style. I promise I won't change neither the TomConn name, or the slime character, no need to worry about that :)
  
  However art-style wise - Including the art-style used in my submissions - I'd like to try out a few things, as well as try and post some builds that I've been working on. My point in telling you guys all this, is because it's been bugging me for a long time and has put a stop to a lot of content like the PMC Group Picture, How to Mega Build, and the Digital-Moon GUI pack. And this issue has been keeping me away from being active in the community.
  
  I won't finish any of those, instead I'm going to spend the rest of this year just messing around with art-styles, and doing some test-updates to submissions in draft.

  hey no worries!
  i for one cant wait to see what you come up with lol

  -Rae- said 2021-09-24 08:15:46

  

  that sounds great quite honestly! I love seeing people experiment and try new things, excited to see what you'll come up with!

  DreamWanderer said 2021-09-24 05:10:59

  

  No worries :) I have always taken the advice I have seen posted here before by others. Do your submissions for yourself, and what you like to do. It is so much easier an less stressful to do when you don't feel like you "HAVE" to do it :)
