First, thank you guys for supporting me for 2 years. Now I hit platinum, after playing SP for literally 2 years (minus a couple of hours).
.
This was my first airplane, literally. Sadly I did not upload it, but luckily I have a picture of that, so I just remake it. It doesn't fly well, yet it was my first one anyway.
.........................................................................................................................................
The first time I started playing SP was in Jan 1st, 2015, when my family and I traveled to Fuzhou, a city in southern China. I got a room, only for my self, which allows me to stay up late.
I still remember that night, I asked one of my friend via QQ(a popular social media in China, basically like Facebook combined with messenger), was there any interesting game for playing. My friend told me: Yes, and its name is Simpleplanes. That friend is no longer playing Simpleplanes, but I am still doing it.
That night, I stayed up until 5 am, and slept for 2 hours, and got up for catching the train back to Shanghai.(Where was the place I used to live). This trip was kinda weird b/c we have to take 20 mins of first train, then transfer to another one, then ride it for 4 hours for getting back.
Since i was playing Simpleplanes on the train(and show it to my mom), and also since I did not get enough sleep, I left my book bag on the train, which contains my homework and other bunch of stuff.(luckily my uncle is an official in the Chinese railway system, so I got my stuff back 4 days later)
I deleted the game.
.
However, I couldn't resist the temptation of such an amazing game. So I re-downloaded this later...lol
I was crazy about this game, for like 3 months. Then I felt bored about it, so I just left it in my cell phone, without even touching it. By that time, my points was 100.
.
Then things got changed. Mom and I moved to USA, and my uncle(another one) thought that a laptop could help be study better, so he gave me a Mac Book as birthday gift. (I used to have a small laptop, it was bought in 2008 and its pink... and its speed was literally like a piece of s***).
For the first time I got something that can help me made huge projects. It was the summer of 2015, when SP got its most significant update- 1.2, where fuselage blocks rules them all.
.
I started constructing ships, aircraft and stuff like those. I didn't got much upvotes, since I didn't know how to take screen shots properly. Yet I still love it.
By the autumn of 2015, my score finally hits 1000.
.
From 0 to 5000, I used one year. It also takes me 1 year to go from 5K to 25K.
So what will it be in the future. How many points will I got by this time in 2017, and how long will I play this game?
Only God know.
