​(Moderator, please don't remove my post, it's not drama—I just want to vent before I actually leave)

A week ago, I asked the community for help with creating an enemy inspired by Darryl. I was misunderstood and became the butt of some jokes on Discord, but it was all just a huge misunderstanding; apologies were made, and I accepted them.

My venting post is completely inspired by the girl who vented here earlier, Kas. Unfortunately, I face a huge language barrier; I don’t know English. I’m not like you guys who know English and can actually communicate; unfortunately, I can only watch you all talk or post your packs. I’ve been trying to create an enemy fully customized by myself, completely inspired by the famous packs. I thought about creating a sub-chapter completely from scratch. But today, May 19th, marks exactly a full month that I’ve been trying to create a custom enemy completely on my own. And to be honest, I haven't even left square one, because unfortunately, I never learned how to use Mamodel and custom animation. So, the enemy turns out looking extremely poorly made, and that is far from what I want. I know everything depends on practice (as the moderator Vulc mentioned in a post), but there’s a catch: I don’t know how to start practicing if I don’t have a starting point to begin with. It does me no good to mess with numbers if I don't know what their function is, or what they are used for. What does it mean when I put a 0 and a -1 on a parent? I don’t know... And the problem isn’t just with the parents; the problem is as a whole. Every single feature in BCU is extremely difficult to understand when you don't grasp English, when you don't know English. I didn't even want to mention this here because it caused way too much conflict, but I wanted to open my heart and say: a tutorial would help guide me. I know you guys are overwhelmed and extremely exhausted because of the conflict that happened here, but I need to be realistic—I unfortunately cannot deny that this would help me.

I am Brazilian, and I know 20 other Brazilians who are going through the exact same struggle.

Then people ask me, "Why don't you join Discord and open a forum thread?" Unfortunately, I cannot use Discord due to personal issues involving my family (I don't want to mention it since it's a serious matter, but I wasn't the one who did anything wrong; rather, I suffered something on that app). I use Reddit to communicate with the community, and I believed it would be similar to Discord here.

Regarding the difficulty I have with BCU, it’s real. My recent posts show how much I've asked for help, how much I need help, but the chaos ended up pushing those posts aside.

So, before I go, I also wanted to suggest something. Just one thing: BCU is amazing, incredibly amazing. I love this app. But I feel that, unfortunately, there is no way for me to enjoy it because I don't know English. And the worst part of all comes from the app's own features, which are very confusing to me. I don't know how to differentiate between parents, pivots, or even how to navigate Mamodel. I try to animate and everything comes out wrong, and that discourages me because I waste hours on a project that unfortunately never left square one...

So, I actually ended up getting sick over this. Messing with BCU made me sick, since I spent day and night trying to figure it out. But why did I do all that? Because BCU could fulfill a dream I’ve always had: customizing my own enemies in The Battle Cats, since it's a game from my childhood.

Anyway, that's it, guys. I know this was a long vent, but I wanted to make it clear: I don't think BCU is bad—far from it. The community didn't seem rude to us; on the contrary, they only reacted hostilely because of the way other members reacted here. However, the difficulty for those who don't understand English still remains. A tutorial in another language isn't even necessary, just something capable of explaining it step-by-step, section by section properly. Then people could just use a translator to translate the document; I believe that would help people. That was my suggestion.

But unfortunately...

I just don’t feel good with BCU anymore. Thank you, community, for replying to my posts and interacting with me. May BCU grow infinitely more every single day! ❤️

I discovered BCU through Darryl's Unhappy packs, and I’ve always found it incredible how well-animated the enemies are—not just his, but many others I've seen. It made me want to try to create an enemy of my own for the first time. However, being Brazilian, I struggle immensely with English (I use a translator to communicate, just like many others in the community).

The thing is, I don't even know where to start. I recently learned how to work with spritesheets from a tutorial, but I don't know how to animate. I don't know how to use MaModels, I don't understand how parents work, or anything like that. I thought that if I asked for help using one of Darryl’s enemies as an example, someone might guide me or give me some advice. I’ve always had a hard time reading the server's tutorials because I don't understand English and have to rely on translators.

Because of this, I became a joke in the community—I even saw a comment from Darryl himself, which really discouraged me since he’s my main inspiration. I want to apologize for the misunderstanding; it truly wasn't my intention. I never wanted to copy anything. I just wanted help to learn how to animate and create spritesheets properly...

I've always had a very common question in the BCU community: how do I create enemies similar to these? (Images from the pack: Darryl), I've always found this type of enemy beautiful, but I've never been able to create one on my own, due to the high difficulty of learning without a guide or visual tutorial (I'm Brazilian so I don't understand much English), Does anyone have any advice? (I know how to work with spritesheets) My difficulties are with MaModels and AnimationCreate, especially the problem with parents

Can someone help me? ❤️
