In Summer 2019, I started a journey that would significantly shape my career in technology and gaming. My passion for Fortnite, shared with friends, led me to discover the world of custom skins through a friend's query. This conversation ignited a passion in me, leading me to explore the possibilities within Unreal Engine modding. As I immersed myself in this new world, my fascination grew exponentially, leading me to create my first website. This wasn't just any website; it was a repository dedicated to providing the best Fortnite skin changers and custom skin hex codes, designed to be a trusted and safe source in a digital world full of harmful intentions.

I started making YouTube videos, which really helped me reach more people. By making videos about skin swappers and custom skins, my YouTube channel quickly grew from just 300 to an amazing 10,000 subscribers in only two months. This wasn't just a big achievement for me personally; it showed that what I was doing had a lot of promise. I also began working with a startup called Linkvertise, which was the first time I made money from this project.

However, 2019 also presented significant challenges. A DMCA notice from Epic Games was a harsh setback, compelling me to take down my website and YouTube content. This moment, while disheartening, was not the end but rather a pivot to a new beginning. In 2020, against the backdrop of other YouTubers continuing their activities, I was reinvigorated to rebuild. This period marked the genesis of a new, improved site that extended beyond Fortnite, offering a broader range of applications for various popular games.

During this phase, my skills as a developer began to flourish. I introduced "Taiyo Swapper," my first skin swapper creation, followed by the more advanced "Acid Swapper." These projects were not just products; they were reflections of my evolving expertise in C#. The journey was filled with technical hurdles, like adapting to Epic's Oodle file compression, but the COVID-19 quarantine provided a unique opportunity to focus and connect with an online community.

By 2020, FrostChanger had grown into a comprehensive repository, catering to a wider gaming audience with additions like Counter-Strike skin changers and Among Us menus. My proficiency in marketing, video editing, and YouTube algorithms also strengthened during this time. Despite facing obstacles, such as content strikes from Epic Games in 2021, my resolve never wavered. I shifted my focus to other games, waiting out the strikes, and continued to adapt and grow.

The creation of Elsify, a tool for Valorant, in late 2021 marked a significant milestone. Elsify's success was a testament to its innovative use of the game's API, making it a beloved tool in the community. Through Elsify, I deepened my understanding of APIs and databases, skills that would prove invaluable.

2022 was a pivotal year, marking both my graduation and the solidification of my commitment to FrostChanger as a full-time endeavor. I delved into JavaScript, crafted a fully hard-coded website using React/Next.js, and explored MySQL databases for the first time.

The year 2023 was a testament to my growth and ambition. I undertook the recoding of existing tools in new frameworks, embarked on new projects like an external Valorant skin changer and a Fortnite Private Server, and reached a significant YouTube milestone of 100,000 subscribers. The culmination of this year's efforts was the launch of an updated website in December, alongside new versions of Lean Swapper, LunaR, and Elsify.

As I step into 2024, I am filled with anticipation for the future of FrostChanger. My journey, a blend of challenges and triumphs, is a narrative of passion, innovation, and resilience. I eagerly look forward to continued learning, new connections, and furthering my mission to provide a secure, cutting-edge platform for game modifications.
