No, JOLLY Paradox is not canon to the official JOLLY series, neither is it the other way round. This was not the intention here.

JOLLY Paradox is supposed to be, and will always be, a fanmade AU. It is supposed to be a completely separate and alternate take on the series that isn't meant to be 100% accurate to the official JOLLY's story. It was always meant to be JOLLY but different, and the games take place in different points in time than official JOLLY.

I am sure the official JOLLY Devs would never come up with the stuff I came up with for JOLLY, because we both have completely different visions and I'm sure they don't care about me.

They recently confirmed that there are no security guards in the first location in the official JOLLY lore, but it isn't the JOLLY Paradox lore so it doesn't really matter to me that much.

What I'm trying to convey is that JOLLY Paradox is supposed to be it's own story, separate from official JOLLY. The ideas, characters and the games themselves were 100% always meant to be stuff made for JOLLY Paradox, with no intent of being truly canon to IvanG's original series that inspired all.

The other series I have based on the JOLLY characters, One Jolly Day, is ALSO not supposed to be canon to official JOLLY. You would be on shrooms to believe that.

That's all I wanna get out there. I just wanted to make sure to clear any confusion.
