2025 New Year’s Update

Last year felt like being stuck at the top of a coaster—stomachs knotted, staring down at the dizzying drop. Then we finally plunged, wind slamming our faces. We finally open our eyes as the harness clicks free, and we stagger off, fighting the urge to hurl, knees shaking, hearts punching our rib cages. Part of us wants to run far away, but another part can’t help but peek at the next towering track, vowing this time to skip the greasy food first.

The past months have been challenging as we recovered from a major managerial change. Though we’re still finding our balance, we’re making steady progress. One of our top priorities now is aligning our contractors with updated policies, including finalizing new contracts, verifying IDs, negotiating terms, and ensuring all paperwork is in order.

Our New Year’s Resolution

Our new year’s resolution is to eliminate strict deadlines from our projects. Why? Because:

• Deadlines can harm team well-being.

• Flexible timelines support creativity and quality.

• Our contractors face real-life challenges, from mental health struggles to natural disasters.

By prioritizing their health and flexibility, we’re fostering an environment where thoughtful, lasting work thrives. This decision ensures we can support our team’s well-being and deliver content that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Sunny Day Jack Demo Update

The final demo for Sunny Day Jack, created in Ren’Py, will be released to the public soon on itch and Steam. The Tyranobuilder demo was a placeholder for the Ren'Py version.

Addressing Changes in Leadership

We know many of you are wondering about the future now that JambeeBot, the creator of projects you love, has resigned for the sake of their mental health. We’re grateful for their contributions and their blessing to continue these stories in their stead. Moving forward, we’re restructuring production pipelines and adjusting team dynamics to carry these projects forward with care and love.

Monthly Updates

Starting this year, we’ll provide monthly updates to share what we accomplished the previous month. For instance, in February, we’ll detail January’s progress. We’ll also address setbacks honestly—whether due to illness, paperwork delays, or simply needing a mental health break.

Thank You for Your Support

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we navigate these changes. Your understanding helps us create a workspace that nurtures creativity and care. Here’s to a year of hope, progress, and exciting new updates from SnaccPop Studios!
