An Update On Halo 3: Combat Evolved

[@Kashiiera]

Just noticed I forgot to change the title to the video (was using last video's title)🤦‍♀ Should be fixed now EDIT: Thank you all for the nice comments, definitely feels nice knowing you all have my back in this I appreciate it a lot! 🫶

[@ShyNomad]

Hope everything gets better for you! I can't seem to do anything when I'm depressed so doing anything even small things is great even if it has nothing to do with your hobbies.

[@alex-ur3pu]

Yeah I hope you are getting better ✌️

[@AzureFlameGod1986]

You're definitely getting my dollar if it'll help benefit these mods. I've been longing to see more. I once found a beautiful and faithful remaster of Longest and Derelict from a Halo 3 Combat Evolved mod, but they were taken down and I only have a few screenshots of Longest. I find it sad to see these great mods disappearing from underneath us and nobody ever talks about it. So I'm going to do my part in helping these mods get back on Steam so myself and others can get a peace of mind. Thank you so much for your hard work. I am sorry you're going through such a rough time. For me, Halo has a way of healing. I could stare into that skybox and walk the subterranean space of the Ring for the rest of my life! It's such an Ambient Wonder.

[@Liam01-02]

I wonder why your depressed. I want to help you feel better if possible. Because I were depressed for years, had social anxiety, anxiety, fears. Im no longer depressed, no more social anxiety, anxiety, and fears. Im freeee. Please share if you need help. Maybe you don't want to be public, if you want to please ask and I can try helping privately.

[@EmCeeDrue]

Hey, man, I grew up waiting on Black Mesa for so long, I can remember when it was called Black Mesa Source. If I can wait THAT long, I can wait for this.

[@bduprey1992]

Take time for yourself. Depression is no joke. Times may be hard but you got this. I'm sure other people will understand that the mod can be put on hold etc. Also burnout is never fun and passion can be hard to find again. Hope all goes well and stay safe. 😊

[@inductivegrunt94]

Don't worry about us, take your time and come back refreshed when you're ready. We'll be waiting right here for you.

[@Sam-mw6kh]

You've been working excruciatingly hard on this project (obvious from the INSANE AMOUNT OF DETAILS in the mission Keyes), so I'd understand you being burnt out, so take your time, you not only deserve it but its very much needed, the community isn't going anywhere and neither is your project, you of course know this already, but I know reassurance can go a long way, we're rooting for ya no matter how long the project ends up taking!

[@Arvidus89]

Your health *always* comes first, not matter what anyone else says (especially bosses and particular kinds of 'fans').

[@superkaboose1066]

You first, then the mod when you feel like it :)

[@NovusDundus]

The burn out is real It can be a hard thing to work with. Especially if the project is still ongoing

[@lashghost]

Stay healthy and safe, and do what you need to do! You've done tremendous work, but it isn't worth sacrificing yourself over. I wish you the best and hope that your situation improves!

[@Daniele.Rossini]

Everything you do, when you feel like doing it, and however it turns out, *it's a treasure for us!* Really... Don't feel any pressure to rush this huge project (especially all by yourself), i personally am super thankful for your work and passion! Take all the time you need to continue this mod and only when you really want to do it! Take care Kash, and thank you by all of us!

[@joeowensby3997]

I'm still very excited! Take as much time as you need, what you have done is already amazing.

[@SomeKindaSpy]

Hey, take your time. This is an enormous project to undertake by yourself. We still have the workshop uploads and we're proud of your hard work.

[@agnosticartist7144]

You are doing Gods work and it looks amazing take your time 🤘

[@theagency2358]

You are truly a legend for what you're doing. Take all the time you need to recover.

[@archbox_]

i wish the most happiness for you! i've fought with depression before and it's absolutely worth tackling. your work has inspired me to work on mods of my own, and we're all eager to see what you've put your passion into (:

[@snakeeyesraw]

As the single author of a large-scale mod in another game over the course of two years, TAKE THE TIME TO REST. Burnout is a killer. It made my depression way worse because I felt I was falling behind on my own work or letting people down. Give yourself the time to breathe; it's not a job, and you shouldn't sacrifice your well-being in its name. Good luck, fellow creator ❤

[@ranzu3138]

Take all the time you need, its a passion project. I will never expect anyone working on mods to meet a deadline, you are all crazy skilled people doing this in your free time, good things come to those who wait. Please take care!

[@stormbreaker7373]

Thank you for your hard work I hope you take care of yourself and I am glad you are priorities on taking care of yourself are in line that’s more important then any mod could ever be

[@strangegaming3060]

I just want to thank you for your hard work. It's really paying off. I like everything you've done so far and as much as I say I can't wait to play the rest, I understand you're just one person. Your personal well being is infinitely more important. I would much rather you took longer and looked after yourself than work yourself to exhaustion. I hope you feel better. Get well

[@djedwards8394]

I was just thinking about this project last week Thank you for everything you do, Legend!

[@Caminante-blanco]

You've already done so much for our community! Playing the multiplayer playtests are some of my fondest halo memories ever ❤

[@iLegionaire3755]

Take care of yourself first and everything else will follow Kashierra. The quality of your product is so amazing that you could take a year off and people would still crave playing it. Why hasn't Microsoft hired you yet and made you the head of 343 Industries game development studio? I played your Halo 3 modded Flood mission with CE weapons, it's FIRE 10/10 gameplay.

[@pillarofdavidson]

You are an amazing, talented person and burn out, especially in the capacity in which you're creating something large and technical on your own is completely understandable. I think we all would rather you be healthy and happy than stressing over a creative endeavor to the point of depression so you take as much time as you need, please. We came to your channel because of your creative work but I am certain we value you as a person above all else. Be safe, be happy and when YOU'RE ready, we can revisit the mod as a community

[@konectus]

I appreciate you and this project, this project is cool as all hell, I'm glad to see any type of exposure, it's pretty inspiring too, keep on, buddy, pay no mind to haters and keep a look out for yourself

[@lethalrobbie6419]

Pretty impressive for what you have done so far looking forward to see what you do next for this project take your time and enjoy it your mental health is most important

[@Th0bTheGamer]

Sorry to hear... been there before myself but it truly is so important as a creative as a maker take care of yourself before the things you make.. hardest lesson I've had to learn

[@lukmedico]

Thank you for all you do Kashiiera, take all the time you need, you do an excellent job.

[@falkonsrt6000]

Good luck kashiera, fantastic work you pulled out, fantastic

[@spektre2381]

Take your time, health is more important than anything else. In any case, we waited 5 years for Halo infinite beta and it ended being so sht so we can wait a bit longer for this masterpiece that seems to be so F fire 🔥

[@JupiterNoose]

i was just thinking about this project last night glad to know that you're still around and sound

[@Darkvortex11]

Take your time, the community thanks you for your awesome mods. Taking care of yourself is the top priority. Wishing you the best.

[@FenoTheFox]

Take as much time as you need. YOUR mod won't exist without YOU, so working on your own well being is also working on the mod. The people who most look forward to your work also want you to be well, and the people who only want the mod finished aren't worth listening to.

[@BrokenCircle1]

You do you man. Take care of yourself first and foremost. What you created is beautiful and while I'd love to see more I also appreciate what we've got. Good luck.

[@Felix-1309]

Take your time, we can see that you are very passionate about your work, just dont get too burnt out alright.

[@CFunk99]

Thanks for letting us know in this update. I love the work you put into Halo 3 CE and had replayed the Truth and Rec level about a dozen times at this point. Take the time you need. 👍

[@isd_chimaera8335]

It’s incredible what you’ve managed to accomplish all by yourself. Keep going at whatever pace you are able to. Good luck!

[@xTooPalex]

I really hope things begin to feel better for you. I've battled depression for a long time and only begun being medicated for it a few years ago. Sometimes thibgs can get bad and our thinking can become really bad, but not all days are like that. You have a lot of people who care about you and are willing to support you. There is nothing wrong with taking a bit of time off to spend time with yourself and do some healing, I hope things will begin to get better soon and you can go back to feeling like your regular self ❤

[@RealllyGoodGaming]

The community is grateful to you and your hard work; it sounds like it's time to focus on what YOU are grateful for. Daily gratitude reminders can go a long way in improving one's mental health; don't worry about us, work at your own pace and focus on what makes you happy/motivated🤟

[@Fletch249]

Very understandable. My heart goes out to you and I hope you find your way through your current difficulties. Stay strong and know that even if you choose to end work on the mod here you are appreciated and loved regardless 💖

[@peterseikatsu3180]

You gave us the remaster that we deserve!!, thank you so much for your work and sacrifice, take your time!

[@ddubsgarage8285]

This really is incredible work. I have played your level so many times it’s literally flawless. Hang in there, in the moment you might not believe things will get better but they will! 💪🏻

[@4th1st73]

We care about you more than a mod. Take as much time as you need to, and we’ll support you all the way! Take care of yourself, friend! 🙂

[@Energy-skull117]

All my best wishes for you take the time you need and we will be all here once you comeback thank you for all the amazing things you've done ❤

[@danny73910]

If it gives you any support, I believe you're mod is still the second most downloaded of all time for Steam Workshop. That speaks a lot for quality regarding popularity through word of mouth and shoutouts. You're very talented, so take all the breaks you need in order to finish the beginning!

[@Yuuri066]

I understand how you feel. I have a similarly large project, I'm also remastering a game in a new engine myself. It can be pretty tough working on it on your own. Props for the work you've already done, I still have yet to make something presentable, I've re-written the basic map loading scripts so many times now and still have only a basic working prototype.

[@Tamed_Delirium]

I had no idea this existed till I was recommended this. Glad you’re okay and I hope the best for you. Godspeed mate!

[@GSCSTRYDER]

Going through a similar feeling with my podcasting. Just take time to rest. Continue when you're ready. You're doing an amazing project for Halo fans.

[@IndiePlayerAnimesh]

Take your time, You got this 👍

[@gorgeousfreeman2240]

We all fall on hard times. Hang in there, you will rise above. We all will.

[@OptimalZetaEdits]

I may not have money, but have been a fan since you started this. I believe in you.

[@Brickman274]

I will wait as long as it takes, take care of yourself above all else tho. Thank you! I love your work!

[@BLACKout_TF2]

love you Kashiiera!

[@m.infernal]

Keep up the great work and dont feel pressure from anyone. Your halo mods kick ass. Not many people actually making such polished mods like you. Also where did you get the Halo font at? I've always loved the style and could never find it.

[@redspyke8227]

It takes time to cook masterpieces. We will wait. Your content is worth it.

[@michaelirizzz121]

Take your time and get yourself right before you mod. Let it be a labor of love! We support you and are thankful for you :)

[@jimcopeland4011]

Grateful to see such support in the comments. You are more important than any mod. Please take the time you need to recover, and I'm praying for your life circumstances and for healing from your depression!

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

I hope you take your time to get better. I understand the feeling, I worked myself so hard on battle for ontario mod on sleepless nights and it hurt my mental health alot. I know the pain of that and must say if you rush yourself to finish H3:CE, it will only will hurt your mental health. Although it may take a while to finish, Once it does get done, people will come back and be happy to see the mod back. I promise. When I was working on five nights at chicas party world for 3 years. I never thought people would return. but they did. You have alot of hype and word will spread. So please take your time on it and make sure to focus on your well being above all else!

[@FlatEarthDenier]

Please look after your mental health. Always a top priority. What you do is amazing ☺️

[@remipennel121]

Your mental health should ALWAYS come first, Halo stuff can wait, it's only a game. I think the whole community can agree that what you've done is already amazing and mind-blowingly well made so don't feel like you HAVE to keep chipping away at the task if it's to the expense of your mental health. Whenever you'll be ready to come back, however long or short of a hiatus it may be, we'll still be here to support you

[@ex-posertoons7338]

There's nothing worse than burnout, especially working on a passion project. You've already done so much great work we can still enjoy, so don't feel like you can't step away for a while to refresh!

[@stinkyman1535]

The most important asset on the battlefield is yourself spartan. Take as much time as you need.

[@CoffeeCrowgasm]

No apologies needed, take all the time you need to get yourself into a better headspace. Mental health is no joke, these last few years I've found it difficult to do any video creation too but I'm slowly getting back into it. Best of luck and much love homie 💜🤘

[@cptblargington7556]

Don’t worry about it. We’ll be here for your mods whenever they’re done. You take all of the time you need. Group therapy really helped me a year ago when I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts. That could really help you too if your insurance can cover it. Take your time and do things for you! :)

[@iluvska91]

I can only imagine the amount of time and effort goes into making full campaign missions. I really enjoyed the one that's out already. As much as I'd love the idea of playing the whole ce in halo 3's engine, its not realistic for one person to complete it in a short time. Take care of yourself!

[@DylanxDje]

Be true to yourself and I hope you feel better! At the end of the day you do I look out for number one yaknow

[@itshyokin]

We absolutely and completely understand, Kashiiera! Take all the time you need for your own mental health, that's more important than anything! We got your back! :D

[@duffelpuffelmcduff1181]

You make the coolest shit for free. As far as I'm concerned, you could never make another mod ever again and you'd still go down as goated in my book. You do what makes you happy!

[@thisiskt9210]

Thank you for your work! It's a 20 year old game franchise, we're not in a hurry. Rest and relax 😊

[@MadamLava094]

No worries! The work you've done is already extremely impressive, and theres no need to destroy yourself over it. Fight the good fight with your own brain before finishing the fight with Sapien! ...and Guerrila, and Tool, and Excession, and Blender, and Osoyoos, and-

[@mollete115]

This is not your work, this is your passion, please take the time you need. Thank you for keeping halo alive. We love you

[@duckpunt41]

I just wanted to say as someone who’s had severe depression before: You are going to make it! You have power over your mind, no matter how hard it hits, so do the things you love! If that means taking your time with things and going at your own pace, then that’s what you gotta do. Love your content, you have an amazing talent. Take your time, we can wait.

[@Venom_Snek]

Take as much time as you need, there's definitely no need to feel like you have to push yourself through mental illness and burnout when it isn't working for you. Regardless of what happens with the mod, I'll be fine, we'll be fine, you just focus on being fine too and then do what you love doing for the sake of doing it. The mod looks incredible, whenever you're able to finish it, I'm certain it'll be well worth the wait :)

[@brawndo1255]

We all adore your work. We're Halo fans. We're not going anywhere. There's no rush.

[@moeabdo3114]

Wish you all the best , we see you as a legend in the HALO community we really appreciate your work its trully an art But please relax ,take care of yourself and dont worry about anything even if you stoped working on it for a year or so, we care about you more than the mod itself Take care of your health and keep imgagning all the things you love and one day i hope i see you working on a new Halo with Xbox studios or something you love even more maybe having your own game development studio Wish you all the health , wealth , love n happiness ❤❤Peace n love Take care

[@aku47]

I can't believe I missed this update. This Mod is incredible work truly, but your mental health matters much much more to us! Please take care of yourself.

[@ksw2064]

I used to mod Halo CE extensively back when the PC port first came out using HHT, HMT, and Sparkedit. Im not sure how it's done nowadays, but I'm sure it's still just as time consuming as it was then. I remember it being pretty frustrating too when things just weren't working. If I wasn't broke as a joke I'd absolutely (and probably will) send you a donation for this project. It looks superb. Take your time and be well, CE isn't going anywhere :)

[@CogsFixmore]

its okay take your time, i can wait 10 years lmao!

[@Bronasaxon]

Completely understandable, take your time my friend.

[@jonny45k44]

Take all the time you need. Your health must always come first

[@unmaskeduk]

Everyone is rooting for you, we're all in this together

[@limahead134]

Hope all the best for you. Get better ❤

[@gamerater2335]

Buddy is lying he's literally just made this video to guilt people into feeling bad so they will subscribe to his Patreon.

[@Dapper_Dad]

Ain't no rush, take care of yourself!

[@nobilisartorivs]

I've been feeling the same man don't worry, nothing was the same after the pandemic

[@Nicolas-C]

The two campaign levels you released were incredible. You are a really talented modder but don't get sick from modding

[@diversemarlord6281]

Just from a Halo fan, don't overwork on this project, put yourself and your loved ones first. We the people that value your work will wait not matter how long it takes or maybe never because thats ok too :)

[@Kandanza]

Hey Kashiiera, please take time to focus on yourself. Your well being is way more important than this mod, so never hesitate to put yourself first. We all understand and wish the best for you

[@DarkDome80]

You not have to keep forcing yourself to make the mod if your not feeling your self you should take a break if you need too because I know how it feels to be alone and not having help but THANK YOU FOR making the mod I have done vids for it and it was really fun time hope one you can be your self for you can see how much people love you mods

[@rockbooch4071]

Feel better soon :)

[@SirSpanxALOT1]

We understand. Remember, art should not come at the cost of your mental health. Passion is key to working in our field, and once that is gone we lose sight of our art and mental health. Take care of yourself, don't hurt yourself over this and take all the recovery time you need. I love your mods and I'd love to play more in the future as long as you have the passion and drive to make them. Thanks for all you've done!

[@bradleyc6564]

Take care of yourself! Wishing you the best ❤

[@JustMR.R34P3R]

Take it east go live no pressure on the wait, mental health comes first Spartans Never die

[@gabrielb.6297]

You can defeat it! I know you can... I believe in you 🤗

[@sockfullofsoup3165]

mental health always way more important do whatever feels best

[@Centurian128]

Take all the time you need, truly. Your health and wellbeing are more important.

[@Ms.JeanJacket]

I hope you feel better. ❤

[@STRONTIumMuffin]

Progress is not a straight line and despite what systems of the world claim no one should ever be productive 24/7! art burnout is super real, you are doing great, take your time and amazing progress.

[@comhaltacht315]

Take all the time you need

[@willisrose9756]

That’s okay real life takes priority first before anything else so don’t rush and take all the time you need.

[@dominicdrake5193]

Hey, you're a human being, your health comes first. I'll never hold that against you. And you've done great so far

[@hellsverg2063]

It's your time. It's your effort. It's your health. The only important thing here is YOU. Don't worry about the community. Don't worry about modding. Don't worry about Halo. The people who really love and enjoy Halo, also loves your hard work. You are one of the best modders this community have. We need you to stay OK. Take care of yourself, is the only thing that matters.

[@reminiscentiaoff4669]

Happy you're committing to taking this time for yourself. I hope you're managing okay.
