New year, new name, new beginnings!

Some of you might have noticed my ongoing “personal re-branding” of my online persona, the first bit being my new avatar image (PFP) across all the internet platforms and social media, and the second being a name change - Say goodbye to “Elvanos” and hi to “Vishiri”!

Now, you are probably wondering why I am even writing a post about it to begin with since people tend to change their online nicknames all the time: Since I have become a fairly known figure in the world-building community with people donating monthly to my Patreon/Ko-Fi/etc and almost constantly discussing something with me regarding my creations. Therefore, I felt that I should inform my supporters and users of my apps/mapping assets that they will be seeing posts/software updates from “Vishiri” instead of “Elvanos”; so no one gets confused!

This also means that there will be an update to FA soon with changed social network/Patreon/Ko-Fi/GitHub links and all mentions of “Elvanos” will be replaced with “Vishiri” – This update will likely be entirely optional for you fellas as it will be just a small refresh of links and texts, no actual functionality should be affected (if anything changes, I will be sure to let know beforehand)!

For those curious about the personal reasoning and story behind the name change: The nickname “Elvanos” had been with me for the last 16~ years and while it served me rather well for all my intents and purposes, it also gathered a lot of history around itself; one I wish to leave at least partially behind at this point in my life. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it is time to start a new chapter of my “internet life” and change the nickname to something that “feels” a bit more fitting.

As a side note for those wondering, since this is a pretty hot topic nowadays – No, I am NOT coming out as trans, changing my pronouns or anything similar; it is really just a nickname/avatar change in such regards.
