Guys, there have been way too many useless arguments and pointless conflicts here. Looking at how heated things got, it must be so exhausting because you probably feel pressured to make this tutorial. If you’re upset or anything like that, you don’t have to do it, okay? The last thing we want is to stress you out. We just want some help; we don't want to see you guys angry, upset, or feeling down. Your well-being matters too, but if this is going to cost you your mental sanity, you can just drop it. We here in the Reddit community will figure things out on our own, alright? Get some rest ❤️

(I crossed out the person's name and profile picture to avoid any more drama, since they're a moderator they must be exhausted from the conflicts too. I decided to censor it so people don't go looking for them to start an argument.)

can't take the struggle with custom animation and mamodels anymore [Rant in the post below]

Hey guys, I wanted to open up and vent a bit here on the community Reddit. I'd like to pour out all my frustration in this post and ask for some help.

I feel so alone. I've been trying to animate, mess around with custom animations, and even work with spritesheets or mamodels. I joined the community Discord yesterday and noticed it's more active over there, but there are barely any proper tutorials—they are incredibly scarce. People in the community seem pretty close; they are always hanging out in voice channels (VC) or chatting away. I also saw some really good suggestions there, but I just need to open my heart and get this off my chest

I feel like for us foreigners, or anyone who doesn't speak English and unfortunately has to rely on a translator, it's extremely hard to learn how to customize enemies. Personally, I really struggle to understand how Parents work in Mamodel, and I have a terribly hard time dealing with custom animations. For people who are used to BCU and already know English, learning is a breeze—they can just jump into a voice call, ask for help, and it's sorted out

But for me, being from another country, not knowing how to speak or pronounce English, and relying heavily on translators to read posts here on Reddit... I really need help. I feel lonely and left out. BCU has been around for over 6 years, and yet there isn't a single decent tutorial that makes us feel welcome or actually helps us. BCU is hard, the language barrier makes it way worse, and the Discord server not having a dedicated tutorial just ruins it for those of us who don't understand English💔

I just wish someone could help me and guide me on what I should do....

The screenshots above make it crystal clear that the person is actually asking for help to customize an enemy using Darryl’s as inspiration, not to copy it. They even explicitly mention in parentheses that they are Brazilian and don't understand much English. Instead of the community coming together to help new users like them, the only thing people do is share the Reddit post in the chat to mock them instead of actually offering a hand.

Always try to understand how things actually work. Not every new user wants to copy existing enemies from your packs; they want help. BCU has a difficult interface, and new users struggle immensely. Existing tutorials don't explain things properly for those who don't understand English. For new users from other countries who speak languages other than English, they depend on visual tutorials. If the community judges people like this or refuses to offer real help just because they assume people will 'copy enemies,' then the community is far more divided than it seems.

New users need help. Current tutorials aren't very clear, and as I saw in a post the other day, the BCU interface is already extremely difficult for newcomers to learn on their own—and the available tutorial is 3 years old. Don't forget, guys: BCU isn't just used by English speakers; there are people from other countries too. Instead of judging, try to welcome these people. They need help much more than you imagine.
