After 12 years, I think I’m finally done with Jak and Daxter.
It’s not like I haven’t liked other things, but Jak was the ONLY thing I ever wanted to create for. It was so open and imaginative and it hooked me like nothing else ever has.Â
But, I finally realized I was clinging on to something that has already lowered into the grave.
Since ND has abandoned it, I’ve been looking to the fandom to supply content, which was never a problem until recently. I just can’t stand the way the fandom handles these characters nowadays. It just makes me long for the past, that 2010ish era, where it was more active and fun and I actually wanted to engage with people.
It isn’t healthy for me at all. I’m constantly wishing to go back in time and it’s depressing. It’s gotta stop. I’ve gotta move on.
I’ve still got a handful of art WIPs i need to finish, so hopefully I can find some time around Christmas break to get those out.
Jak and Daxter MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. I can not believe how this game series captivated my life. But until ND acknowledges them again, I have to redirect my attention to something else - whatever that may be - for my own mental health.
