Eventually, binray created an account under the same name, and began to create content there as well. His earlier works include A Clicker Gaem, some simulators, and overall random projects. He dabbled in physics engines, games, and development testing, and then had a long period of Scratch-based engines for Friday Night Funkin', a popular game at the time.

On June 9th, 2024, binray would announce in the comments of his Scratch account that he would be deleting his "binray" account in 16 hours from the time that the comment was posted. On June 10th, 2024, at 4 PM EDT, binray would set his account to be deleted, and 2 days later, his account would be deleted, but the projects he had shared were still up. binray would contact Scratch and eventually all 381 of his projects would be deleted. The reason for the deletion of his account was that he had projects shared that could've had major security risks for him.
During the 2 days between when binray set his account to be deleted and when his account was actually deleted, he would reupload all of his Scratch projects (that didn't have security risks for him) on an alt account named BinrayPreservation (via remixing all of his projects on binray). BinrayPreservation is where most of his projects originally uploaded on binray are today.

==Career==
===ONAR & subsequent releases===
Main article: One Night At Roblox
In the latter-half of 2021, development of ONAR (or One Night At Roblox) began. On January 22nd, 2022, ONAR was released to the Scratch community. The game featured 5 characters: Noob, Doom, John Doe, 1x1x1x1, and Guest 666. The first two, Noob and Doom, acted the same: they would randomly appear in the characters office, and the character would have to put their mask on to avoid them. John Doe randomly scrambled down the hallway, and the player would have to close the door in time. 1x1x1x1 had a music box that needed constantly wound up, and Guest 666 would appear on the screen for a short while, forcing the player to hover their mouse over it.
A few days after the initial release, a friend suggested to add a difficulty system in which an extra challenge could be added to more skilled players. This challenge soon became 5/4 mode, named after the system for enemy difficulty which had 4 stages.
Almost immediately after the release of ONAR 1, binray began development on its sequel. The sequel, ONAR 2, was released on January 27th, 2022, 5 whole days after the original. This game featured similar mechanics to the first game, with slightly different ways to deter enemies. A camera system was added, and so was a flashbang. The roster of enemies includes: Noob, Doom, John Doe, Music Guy, and Guest 666. To get rid of Noob, Doom, and Guest 666, (who all randomly appeared/stood up in your office), you would use the flashbang. John Doe is in the vents, and you must frequently check the camera to see if he is about to attack. Once he is no longer visible on the vent camera, you must close the vents. Music Guy will randomly complain about his music breaking, in which you must fix it via the cams.
ONAR 3 was a planned release, but was eventually cancelled by binray.
===A Clicker Gaem===

==== A Clicker Gaem (ACG) ====
Main article: A Clicker Gaem
On October 26th, 2021, A Clicker Gaem v0.1 was released. It only featured 4 stages, and helpers were not featured. From v0.2 and on, the base game mechanics have stayed the same. To avoid elaboration on each version, here are the basic mechanics: the player clicks the shape to gain a certain amount of money. Once the player gains a certain amount, then they are eligible to go on to the next level. This continues for a certain amount of levels. The player can also buy helpers with their earnings. The helpers produce money for the player.
Throughout the rest of the year, more and more versions of A Clicker Gaem were released. v0.2 added helpers, v0.3 and onwards added more levels, as well as changed some. v0.6.5, the only version to have a version extension, was intended to be the "final" version of A Clicker Gaem. In a consequence of this, a long hiatus from A Clicker Gaem was taken.
During this extended hiatus, binray made FNF-styled games. On March 9th, 2022, v0.7 of A Clicker Gaem was released. On the very next day, v0.8 was released. Both of these were minor changes to the game, such as new stages, refined systems, etc.
On March 23rd, 2022, A Clicker Gaem released v0.9, the first overhaul update. A Clicker Gaem v0.9 featured an entire new engine, acting as a gateway towards new versions. In v1, binray added new block types and helpers. In v1.1, binray removed the shop menu completely, opting for a sidebar to shop in, added a menu, a speedrunning gamemode, a mission system, and more block types. v1.2 added more blocks and helpers, and v1.3 added a save/load feature. v1.4 added a new click detection system and a new block.
On July 13th, 2022, A Clicker Gaem released v1.5, the second overhaul update, which also added achievements. v1.5 and v1.6 were updates that built the game from the ground up, again. In v1.7, the Helpers For Help update, binray added money trees, a slower, but alternative way to make money other than helpers, a mechanic where helpers would sleep, to provide a limitation to helper's infinite usage, shop sections, new block types, and new helpers. A Clicker Gaem v1.8, the Optimized update, added an optimization feature for laggy devices, a jukebox feature, a new money tree, 3 new achievements, and more block types and helpers.
On September 6th, 2022, A Clicker Gaem v1.9, the 1 before 2 update, was released. The update was minor; adding a new acheivement, new helper, and new block type, as well as a full version of the music. On January 12th, 2023, A Clicker Gaem v2.0 would be released, although it wouldn’t be the big update that was anticipated, it would only add 3 features and was only released due to binray wanting to “finish” the series, but that did not happen.

===2D Doors===
Main article: 2D Doors
On October 10th, 2022, 2D Doors was released. At the time at release it had 4 entities, that being: Dash, Runner, Find, and I. In update 1.0.3, Find got a new design, being red and have 2 arms on the back, this was done to differentiate from Doors which was the game it was based on. More entities would be added like Strider and Portal.
On October 11th, 2022, just a day after it was released, it would be moved to the binray account due to binray not being able to edit it at school. Then a few days later, 1.0.3 would be released, but since there were no release notes, it has been lost what has been added or deleted. 1.0.4 was supposed to release before 2022 ended, but that wasn’t the case. In early 2023, binray would release a demo, though barely any work has been done on it ever since the demo. It’s been said that Binray has been procrastinating on it ever since 1.0.3.

== Trivia ==
* binray's namesake has a lot of layers.
** In 2017, binray created a ROBLOX account under the name "bendycam2010."
** Later, binray changed their ROBLOX username to "ADuckGoesBoon."
** In the 2020's, binray changed their username to ThatOneBinaryGuy, and subsequently made an original character named Binary.
** Sometime in early to mid 2021, he shortened it to “Binary”,
** Due to a crappy model of his Roblox avatar made in Roblox Studio, "binray" became a common moniker for his OC, and when he made his scratch he decided to use Binray, the name stuck, being one of the official names for all his accounts (i.e. ROBLOX, Scratch, YouTube, etc).
** Also, some common nicknames of Binray are “Bonray” and “Binney” which are sometimes considered their own characters. Bonray was created due to his friend, Flag098, misspelling "Binray". Binney was created due to AI story creation website “NovelAI” for some reason using “Binney” instead of “Binray”.
* As of June 10th, 2024, binray had 381 created Scratch games on his main account.
* According to scratchstats, his average project stats were the following: 1 love, 1 star, and 11 views.
* Sometimes, as a joke, Binray says that his pronouns are “Binray/Binray”, or that he is “Non Binray”, due to Binray being close to “Binary”.
* Often AI tools like ChatGPT and Bing’s Copilot get Binray confused with Binary.
