Mark Haynes

Just a quick update to let you guys know I'm still alive.

TL;DR: Not been in the best of health both mentally and physically. Trying once again to get my life back in order. (17th time's a charm, eh?)

Hey man, I'm glad that we are hearing from you again. Whether it's the 17th time or 100th, the important thing is that you're hanging in there. You got this, king.

Your animations have been with me since I was in junior high, dude. I don’t care if I need to wait until I’m in a retirement home to see the full saga. We love you, Mark ❤️

Just glad you’re alive. Everything has been a good run with this so finishing shouldn’t even be a thing now. You made something great.

When I was a wee lad back in the 2000s, your work, SMBZ was one of the most gripping and exciting pieces of content on the entire platform. I remember being so sad when we had a cliff hanger but looking back now, especially realizing exactly how much work goes into animation, I understand why sometimes things have to be left that way. Your story Mark, just like SMBZ, is still unfinished. There is so much potential and hope for your future as your are an excellent creative with a dedicated base, even all these years later. 20 years later and your work on SMBZ is still revered and archived as some of the greatest sprite fighting and story telling out there. Your work has inspired many and especially myself to keep working on my own creative projects. Your legend lives bro so however long it takes brother, we are here, and we are waiting for the next drop. God bless you and Ill be praying for any sort of mental/physical recovery you need. With all my heart, for all the work you've put into SMBZ, from one aspring fan/creative to another, all I can really say is- Thank you and keep kicking ass.

The old saying goes, no matter how much you fall, you'll rise up and find a spark to feel like a million bucks. Still grateful you're at least hanging in there despite how much life is hitting you.

With how complicated life can be, there's no shame in how many times you need to try again. Just as long as you're always trying to do better, who can ask for more?
