Hey everyone. I thought I would update you all on what’s been happening and how things will go in the future for 98xx. When I started making games, I always wanted to try and do something original and unique. It was never my intent to copy or overuse tropes in games. Every idea just comes to mind when I brainstorm, and if I think it works, I will use it. However, with so many games coming out, it’s insanely hard to come up with something 100% original nowadays. I’ve gotten many comments and reviews not liking Julian & Friends for being too similar to other games, and let me say I’m sorry, that was not my intent. I do get inspired by a lot of other media and like to have my own spin on it, but again, I should have put in more thought. I do try my best to deliver something people might enjoy, but it’s hard to when many other games are far better than mine could ever be. I have been taking these critiques very seriously since that is the only way devs can improve. However, I’ve planned out 98xx Rebooted both with its story and how it will play out. But I’m afraid that many might not like it, and I’m unsure this series has a future or even had one to begin with. I don’t want to outright cancel the entire series, but I do want to put it on hold for a while since I do need a break from all of this as I have been consistently working hours a day since Julian & Friends started development almost a year ago and I need to focus on finishing college. I won’t stop making games since it is my passion, and I love it very much. Besides, I feel like I’d rather work on another project that isn’t a horror. I don’t think I’m very good at the whole horror aspect anyway lol. But we shall see what the future holds. I’m extremely grateful to those who have supported me since I put my heart and soul into these games. Both positive and negative feedback help me grow in my skills, so I appreciate both sides. Anyways, see you all on the flipside! -Jackson
