The Truth Behind the Stories (The Creator)

Heya! So before this story starts, I feel there needs to be some context.
First of all, I'm a video game designer. I don't work for animal jam, but I like to go back to the gams I love and mess with the coding some times. Another thing, I love creepypastas, and as such, I tend to combine these passions to mess with people. I do it in Pokemon, Undertale, and yes, even Animal Jam.

Now to the story!
One time I had made a new account and claimed that there were "unreleased items my den" and when they entered, I would overload their save files, crashing their game. I did this by simply making mod-like files where the game would try moving an item variable that existed on my computer, but not theirs. This would cause something similar to error 404 to occur. The minute they logged back on everything would be fine. One time, I even made a scenario where I'd have a random black wolf appear, just an NPC that would appear and disappear randomly, and sometimes move around as if it were a real player. For that occasion, I had it chase one jammer around until they left the server, and I found it rather funny. How did I do it? Well, every jammer has a variable attached to each visual module (For example a wolf with red fur, no pattern, and the first eye type might be HX #0001, so on and so forth).

Soon enough I found myself becoming busier and their patches became more frequent. This leading me to stop my rampage of fun. A while later, I heard about a raid, as well as there being a creepypasta community. I decided to read some of the creepypastas just to have fun like the old times. That's when I saw.

I began laughing hysterically! I saw stories of the things I did, the things I made! I was surprised, yet happy. I even noticed added details, leading me to conclude that either someone was doing the same as I, or that some kids added extra story elements to make them more exciting.

'''Sadly, I can't do most of the thing I did back then. Mostly due to the game's frequent updates changing the placement of the .JSONs and .JAR files.'''

So, in short, thank you. Thank the reader, the writers, those who let me scare them. Thank you. For you gave me the best years of my life.

Oh! And before I go! If any of you would like to see what I'm now working on, I'm creating a videogame, and here is the link. Think of it as a thank you for all my years of fun you gave me.
