-A year ago, I released a demo of a Fnf mod based on the game Onmyoji (I haven't played it, but I like it enough). I've never had any followers on any social media platform despite drawing for years, so I don't have an audience to show my projects to, and I feel like all the work isn't worth it if no one appreciates it. I want to do it for the love of it and finish it for enjoyment and fun, but at the same time, it's discouraging to know that no one is interested, and not even the Fnf community has cared because it's not about something well-known or super elaborate. I don't want pity, but I'm open to advice other than "Just do it because you enjoy it". I feel discouraged.

These things don't go together. Either do it for the fun, or abandon it. People will probably try the mod. If it's good, more people will try it. If it's not good, people will ignore it. It's been like this since the dawn of mods.

Do it for yourself, like the millions of modders before you. If that means it's not worth it for you, leave it.
