In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

This is a message from the heart, from someone who wanted to succeed but couldn't, and perhaps this is his final attempt. I worked for years for free, creating and trying again and again, but I never won a prize that could help me continue my journey. I created this character, Meltboy, a melting slime, to represent my current exhaustion and how drained I feel.

I couldn't create and publish the video, even though I have a desktop. I simply don't have enough time to keep waiting for a solution. But I will keep waiting for the result, and one day, Insha'Allah, I will come back and see what happened. Maybe, just maybe, my final attempt will succeed.
