Hey everyone, it's been a while since any real update on what's going on regarding this game, and the video I've been working on for it. In this post, there are a few things I'll go over, first of which is...
Where's the video?
After I stopped working on JOLLY 4 back in December, I was finally able to get back to my own projects. I worked on my stuff for about 2 months straight, then got very very burnt out.
What does this have to do with the video?
Prior to the start of my burnout in February, I had worked on JOLLY 4 and other projects for thousands of hours, and I had an awful sleep schedule that was quite literally killing me. The video on JOLLY 4 itself started being planned in about January of this year, and I was making steady progress on it until February; since then, I have barely worked on anything at all. What I'm trying to say is that I've been taking a break from everything, hence the lack of updates on the video. I apologize for the delay, and I'm hoping to finish the video relatively soon. Again, thank you all for your patience and support, I couldn't be more grateful.
Will there be a Reboot/Will the game come back?
A few months ago, a screenshot went around of one of the team members for the game announcing the start of work on a reboot. This screenshot was real, but keep in mind; the reboot was not supposed to be announced unless the team behind it had made substantial progress, or got to a point where we knew the game would end up getting finished.
Unfortunately, the idea of bringing the game back got out quite a bit earlier than it was supposed to. So yes, there are plans to work on a much smaller, rewritten version of JOLLY 4, I, nor the team are guaranteeing that it gets finished; as again, it wasn't supposed to be announced unless it got to a point where it was close enough to being finished to be safe to start making posts about it.
Official Discord Server
Back in January when the original Discord server for the game was deleted, a new one was made shortly after by some fans; following shortly after the new server was made, a lot of JOLLY 4's team joined and it soon became the 'new unofficial-official server' for the game. If you'd like to join it and stay updated on whatever is to come regarding the game, or if you'd like to talk to other people about the series, click here.
One more thing; a few of you may have noticed that the game had the Canceled status, then lost it this morning. Originally, Ivan set the game to canceled to make sure no one is confused or thinks the game is coming back. This morning, I asked him to remove the status until my final post on this page is made. This is because a game on GameJolt being canceled completely removes the games visibility from the site, making it very difficult to find the game page. So after my final posts are made here, the canceled status will return
For anyone confused, yes, the game is canceled. For the reboot, I wouldn't get too excited; there is a very very slim chance that it gets finished, and I'm not guaranteeing any real progress on it.
That's about all for now, thank you guys so much again for everything.
