| 98xx Stories of the Past | 2026-10-27 | This is the full written lore that was published on the 98xx Discord server in May of 2025. It covers all the lore from the original 98xx, J&F, my other game tie-ins, and what 98xx Rebooted would have revealed. I decided to compile it all together as one document, making it much easier and more accessible to everyone! I am warning you that I am not the best writer, and this story has many flaws, but nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it!Full Lore ;) |
| 98xx Rebooted Canceled Project | File Dump + Download | 2026-09-13 | These were the only files I have left remaining of my canceled '98xx Rebooted' project. I'm warning you all that this project didn't go far, and everything that was made is very messy and unoptimized. Some stuff might not open or be extremely buggy. I tried to go for a 'realism' aspect, but that's not my style, and it shows. However, I figured it's still a waste to keep it all to myself, so for archive purposes, releasing these files to the public might get the attention of someone who wants to use the assets to bring it back to life. I doubt it since 98xx is a dead game/series, but you never know. Anyways, enjoy what's left, as I will never |
| Another patch... Sorry about that. | 2025-11-17 | - Fixed the spacebar crashing in the Mr. Write game. - Fixed the final Steam achievement. |
| The patch I should have done long ago. | 2025-11-14 | As they say, better late than never. - Fixed the Darcy minigame, now making it much easier to 100% the game. - Finally added Steam achievements. This isn't a large update, but it addresses some of the main issues people had with the game. On a side note, yes, there are still cheap analog horror cliques, but the game is goofy as is, so I think it's fitting. We can all laugh about it together xD |
| 98xx Rebooted | 2025-09-12 | Hey everyone! I wanted to make this post because I’ve had some people reach out to me, still asking where 98xx Rebooted is, and for those that don’t know, a while back, I announced its discontinuation as I have been working on a brand-new project instead. There are multiple reasons why it was canceled, but the main reason was that I wasn’t enjoying making it anymore, and I had a feeling it wouldn’t be worth it in the end. If you’re not passionate about your project, then don’t even bother forcing it, and that’s the decision I had to make. For those who are disappointed and want to know how the game would have ended up, along with the story/lo |
| Thank You | 2025-06-23 | HUGE thank you to everyone who bought a sticker and supported Nathaniel’s Childhood Cancer Foundation! You guys have made many children very happy. As the 98xx rebooted series sadly had to be discontinued, I still wanted to do one more thing, since I’ve always wanted to use what I do to help those in need. This now ends an era, and I’m so thankful to everyone who supported these projects from the beginning. But not to worry, you’ll always have these games to return to since they’ll always be there for you to play anytime you want! Also, mark my words, Julian and his friends will return someday! Much love to all of you! – JacksonClick here if |
