PROJECT: CAVERN

Ahh- hi everyone- it's been a bit since last post and I also ended up learning about what fully happened with the pressure situation. HOPEFULLY- this will be the last time I mention the situation from here on out. I will also talk a little later on about the future of CAVERN aswell since this is a passion project and in a way a rewrite of pressure as a whole- (I do apologize if this is slightly scuffed) To start, a slight recap of the situation with pressure. So in the beginning of april, a doc would be release about Zeal (The lead dev of pressure) on how he had sexually assaulted Ren (NoLongerNull/The "victim") some time in 2025. After this post was made a majority of people (me included) had believed this without a second thought, defended them without a second though or waiting for the other side of the document response without a second thought. Of course after some time has past eventually Zeal would finally make a response about the entire situation along with a document of his own with his own side of events, clearing up somethings, full screenshots of the conversations and how it was consensual (If I remember right at least).

After this, people would begin to notice some cracks and missing peices within Ren's story before it was taken down by google and reuploded else where, how some screenshots or things said didn't line up with the rest of the story as Ren would say how they planned to work on a reworked document. After MONTH's of people waiting for a rework of the document, it would then be revealed by Ren THEMSELF stating how a rework document would not be released and (In a way) Lied about what had happened. Now I'll admit i did loose slight track of the situation after a while with the back and forth of the situation becoming confusing and messy (Though I did get to see both doc's once released!). In my personal opinion about it- It's just a absolute mess that should of never happen in the first place, Instead of just taking the rejection, accepting it, and continue on with your life, you instead decided to ruin a entire person's online life and passion project by lying that they had assaulted you, treating everyone else like shit around you, ruinning their presence both online and IRL to the point of even making them KYS (which thank god it failed), you should be ashamed of yourself for what you had done and admittedly...some of us should be ashamed at ourselves for jumping to conclusions without waiting to hear the other side of it all. To the pressure team if they were to ever see this (most likely not but still)- even if it's a little late, i am sorry about jumping to conclusions instead of waiting, it was un professional of me to do so and should of waited to hear zeal's side of the story before forming a actual opinion. I do hope zeal makes a quick recovery in the hospital and everyone else involved that they will do ok in the future.

Now finally onto the topic of the C.A.V.E.R.N project, I think some of you might be thinking "Oh! so does this mean you all will be canceling the CAVERN project since pressure isnt problematic anymore?" No, absolutely not- while this project is a thing for a few of our old Ex-Pressure OC's to have a new place to be, somewhat of a rewrite of pressure, and tired of all the drama, we will be continuing the project since we refuse to return our characters to it after everything (+ outside of the ren situation the team did do a few other bad things like having a slight toxic work environment, not properly paying artist's, no actual good representation of a few characters ect.), plus we also put so much effort into this story (since we started around when the situation began), We even are working on a entire Discord server for updates on the project, applications for people to join and help work on it (sadly no pay though yet ;-;) + we now have a official tumblr blog to answer questions or make official announcement posts! we are excited for you all to see what we have in store for it but for now this is my final message about pressure, my goodbye for now, + a silly image of two characters you will meet soon :)

Um- hello, it's been a bit- Sorry for just kinda appearing on and off as of late, Just been extremely busy with a few thing (aaand...mayhavealsowentthroughamentalspiralforashortbit- BUT WHATEVER IM FINE-)

Anyways- as we all know from earlier this month during the beginning of the pressure situation (or if you had seen my last post). I mentioned a little thing near the end that me and a few friends have been working on on something new since well- we as Ex- pressure fan's had Oc's and what not that we didnt know what to do with since we didnt want them to be associated with the game, but didnt want to directly change them either due to how much work n effort we had put into them. So without ferther ado...let me talk about ..

THE CAVERN PROJECT!!!

A future ARG/Analog horror series created by Me (Vleesmith), and my two friends Boxxception and Dr.DonVik.

This will be EVER SO LOOSELY INSPIRED by the lore of pressure, along with it's characters (that we may or may not have stolen a few entities from...) but will also take inspiration from other things we like like Portal, SCP foundation, Helldivers, The stanley parable, and MANY MORE!

Now I won't say much about what we have in-store yet since well- we are still working on things BUT! iI will show off a bit of what we do have so far art wise like some of the different division/CAVERN project logos I made (though it sadly isn't that much)
