My opinion on fan ships and personal creations

I often see debates surrounding ships, self-ships, or invented couples in universes like Sonic. Personally, I mostly enjoy creating my own stories: sometimes with existing characters like Rouge, sometimes with others I invent.

I don't do this to impose my vision on anyone. I don't claim that my couples are "canon" or more legitimate than others in the Sonic universe (except in the timeline of Jones & Friends, where they are since it's a deliberate alternate universe, different from Sonic X or the original universe). It's simply my way of expressing my passion: telling stories that touch me and sharing what I love about these characters.

For me, fandom is, above all, the freedom to create without judgment. Everyone can have their own ship, their own universe, their own way of loving the characters. As long as it's done with respect and sincerity, everyone can find something they like. What I don't accept are people who want to impose their preferences as absolute truth, even if they're popular.

So yes, I have my ships, my inspirations, and I fully embrace them. But I'll never force anyone to accept them : I just share. My goal, on this site as in my passion, is to develop my imagination, to explore how far I can take my ideas.

That's why I'm proposing this unique concept (and I believe, for the first time) a FNAF fangame that blends horror and romance in a balanced and non-explicit way. As I've already said, my private readers have validated the Jone & friends games stories without making any negative comments. Proof that I pay attention to what I develop and how I convey it.

Thank y'all for your understanding.

And what about Jone & Friends?

The game is nearing its end, all that's left is to finalize the very last cutscene. Mark your calendars: the official release is scheduled for October 20, 2025! (for those who don't know)🎉

We're almost there, and yes, it's getting real! But that's not all: Jone & Friends still has plenty of surprises in store for this October, which is all about fear…

Stay tuned, it's going to be worth it!

What about updates and other projects?

Rest assured: Jone & Friends 1 will be finished and wrapped up once and for all. There's no turning back.

Regarding updates, they will only be improvements (bug fixes, small content additions) to make the experience more enjoyable for you and for us, depending on the decisions we make. But it's certain that Jone & Friends 1 will never be remade. Rest assured, your saves will normally be retained from one version to the next, and automatic.

As for other projects, they're progressing very, very slowly. But rest assured, they're not being shelved! I'm focusing my efforts on finishing Jone & Friends 1 so that I'm ready to work on the sequels with better organization.

And of course, as soon as a sequel or a new game is officially announced as being in development, you'll be informed.

Thank y'all for your continued support. The series is moving forward, and the J&F universe still has some big surprises for the future... (and for the other projects too)
