Sunny Day Jack Development Update
🕑 Added 2024-05-29 14:24:17 +0000 UTCHello!
It is with great unfortunate sadness that after many months of trying to work
With our current programmer for Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack, we have had to make the difficult decision to terminate their working relationship with them.
This is due to a long term history of inappropriate actions. And while we will not be elaborating on the full extent of these actions, we must formally apologize to all our fans.
Sauce, the creator, and many individual leaders and team mates have attempted to accommodate their needs so as not to waste any and all completed progress on the project. However, it has come to a point where we can no longer tolerate, condone, or withstand further interactions with this person.
We must ask any and all fans to please not seek this person out. We will not be further releasing their name. This is a separate contractor hired by and under previous management after the leave of our first programmer for personal reasons.
To attempt to contact, find, or “expose” this person would be to go against the affected person’s wishes entirely.
We thank you for your patience. We’ll be discussing with any of our currently on-team programmers who is most suited to pick up progress on the game as soon as possible! We understand this must be frustrating– we are frustrated and disheartened too. We did our best to make the most of the situation up until now for all of you, and we’ll be working tirelessly from this moment on to get things back on track!
Updates to come, immediately!
Sincerely, The "Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack" Team

Sad to hear the producer has to go, but also relieved that the game SWWSDJ is still underway. We appreciate your hard work and we wish you luck in finding a replacement for the producer.

A chief fear and topic of discussion was the work completed. And as per the wishes of the affected, chiefly being those managing the project, we understood there was no way to terminate the working relationship without greatly disappointing fans. No individual contractors participating in SnaccPop are among the affected. We apologize for not disclosing the individual affected persons involved, but we can stress that there was an earnest effort made to consider the fans first and foremost. Unfortunately, there is just no further way to balance the health of these persons and continuing this working relationship.

It's been the decision of the affected in combination to attempt to continue work, so as not to disappoint fans. We apologize for this. It was the desire of those persons (Including the likes of management and creator, Sauce) to see through the project first and foremost. The persons affected are now the persons terminating this working relationship.

this is really vague, which i know is purposeful as to not go against the wishes of the victim, however, what do you mean "accommodate their needs", were those the needs of the victim or the perpetrator? were you accommodating someone who had a history of inappropriate conduct just to not lose progress on the programming? genuinely what are you saying, because if you kept around someone knowing their inappropriate actions and accommodated them and not the victim, that sounds pretty shameful.

I appreciate all the hard work from you guys. I love how the team is always trying to make this community safe for everyone. But tbh it's disheartening to see apology after apology. I know you guys want to put out work as efficiently as possible, and most of the stuff that causes delays is unexpected/out of your hands. However, I feel like the promised dates never really come to fruition. Is October 31st still an expected release date? (not hating or trying to sound snarky, just a genuine question)

That seems to be a thing with big name yandere games. It's gotten kinda weird tbh

I took that to mean it was against the wishes of the "victim", rather than the perpetrator

Right. That stood out to me as well

Thank you for sharing an update with us. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it's been for yall. I wish, hope and pray that things will get better and turn out brighter. Thank you for continuing on making this project and more the best it can be for us. Whatever the reason, for me anything is worth the wait for the best outcome. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us in the future as well. I do hope you find time to heal as well. Wishing you all the positivity, love(As a fan), and support for ya'll.💕

I’m probably not adding anything new to this, but ultimately the main priority is the comfort and safety of the people on the team. Y’all are fine, just do what you need to do and don’t worry about how long it takes. It’s better to have a healthy work environment and “slow” development than a toxic work environment with lots of updates. If that makes sense. Sorry if I worded this wrong! Hope things go smoothly, purely so that the team isn’t under any stress and pressure! We’re all rooting for y’all!

Trying to be accommodating for someone who's been doing inappropriate things "long term" sounds kind of weird at face value?

Georgie just doesn't.
woof. I'm so sorry , it's been one thing after another for y'all-- I'm genuinely saying this: I hope you are all okay, I love what has been made so far, but I genuinely care more about supporting You , the team than I do about a game coming out on time. Take your time, I wish you all the best.

Don't rush. You all did your best to work with this person but only they can control their actions. If it takes a bit of time to find another programmer, we will understand. Thank you for the update and for all your hard work!!!

It's a shame things went the way they did, but I hope it'll mean good things for the work environment in the long run.

Thank you for the update, but I'm starting to seriously wonder if this project is cursed or something.
