![]() AND NOW WE HAVE TWO GAMES WITH BASICALLY THE SAME NAME. games just don't change names while they still exist. I wonder which person at AJHQ thought it would even remotely be a good idea to change the name. One last sentence that will probably turn into a paragraph: DOOMY HOW DO YOU PAINT SO WELL That was a really really really really REALLY long comment. And I don't have very good mental health since quarantine started and this change caused me to spend quite a lot of time just editing a bunch of pictures about what I want to happen to the world (Most of them are very dark.) So my Animal Jam (Classic) life will end when flash shuts down and this change already makes it feel like AJHQ is just sitting there waiting for Flash to shut down so I'll be only on Play Wild. I've already been the person who's been like, "Wait which Animal Jam?"Īnd on top of that I use a chromebook and I. There's going to be so much confusion I just know it. They made that pretty obvious through their daily explorer posts.Īlso, the fact that they renamed PLAY WILD to ANIMAL JAM is driving me completely nuts. Since 2020 began, I started to realize that AJHQ was obviously spending more effort on Play Wild. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS CHANGE!!! When I get mad (or passionate) I tend to repeat things to emphasize them. Oh yes oh yes oh yes I feel the same way! I absolutely hate this change. To finish it off, I painted the clay panda I showed you all in my last post: (YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO? I should make a giant color palette of all the classic AJ colors!!!! YES.) Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and AJHQ is too overworked to think about the homepage. Which is why I am a little bit more hopeful about what the visual re-vamp of the home page could mean: more focus on nature and the environment. It's sad they changed the style to flat and 2D. There's so much depth, I feel like I'm right there in Jamaa and not just looking at characters on a screen. ![]() When I look at the older homepage right above, I just feel so safe and happy and at home and excited about life. Maybe you don't care about the homepage, but I am really passionate about the original visual style of AJ, back when nature was emphasized more. Also I used the Wayback Machine for this image so the other animals didn't load. (Side note: Why'd they even change this in the first place? Why did the homepage get less cool looking over the years? What the heck. To help you get what I mean, let's compare the art of the previous home page with what we have now: While the new homepage layout makes no sense and will need to be revamped so AJPW and normal AJ are equally accessible, I'm feeling kind of hopeful about what the new art of the home page might mean for the future. As I've said before, the character of AJ has been a little diluted since work on normal AJ updates has been outsourced to other studios (which happened due to work on Fer.al). Many of us have waited a bunch of years for Wildworks to establish Fer.al and therefore resume the more interesting AJ updates we've lacked since late 2017. Updates better not get reduced even more than they already are on normal AJ. ![]() (Yes, I am still going to be using "Play Wild" and "Animal Jam" in the way that they are. I am hoping with all my heart that this doesn't mean AJHQ is trying to push aside normal AJ as its flagship game and give less attention to it than Play Wild. What also sucks is that they have a shady player login button on the normal Animal Jam page that goes nowhere if you input you login info: just because AJPW might be a little more popular doesn't mean you have to completely rebrand IN ONE SINGLE DAY!!! Tell me, WHAT game has done that before? There is pretty much 0 benefit to you confusing everyone.Īs far as I know, pre-existing games don't change names unless they're remade.Īnimal Jam and Animal Jam: Play Wild! are a perfectly logical series. Maybe it's pathetic but I'm kind of shaking right now xDĪJHQ, I feel like you'll regret this. I have a literature final to do today and I was planning on just focusing on that but as soon as I heard about this bizarre change I knew I just had to jump on here and rant about it until the shock subsides and I can breathe again. I didn't want to say this but come on, it's quarantine, everyone is losing their minds, and they're turning to virtual worlds to feel normal and when you make a big confusing change WITH ONE DAY OF NOTICE and don't even put a text box at the front telling us what's up? Why do we have to go to the Daily Explorer to understand what happened? ![]() Come on, just put a text box at the top!!! Communicate!!! Do you know how many 11 years olds will question the integrity of reality because of this? I KNOW I HAVE. And there's not even a clear notice of the change. ![]()
