YouTuber Jacksepticeye, whose real name is Seán William McLoughlin, recently shared his disappointment over the cancellation of a Soma animated show he had been working on for a year. In a video titled 'A Bad Month,' he expressed his frustration and sadness about the project falling apart.
Soma, a critically acclaimed survival horror science fiction game developed by Frictional Games, was released in 2015. Jacksepticeye, a fan of the game, had been in discussions with the developers for a year to bring an animated adaptation to life. He was excited about the project and had planned to dedicate much of his time to it, which would have impacted his content creation schedule.
However, the project abruptly fell apart when an unnamed party decided to take the project in a different direction. Jacksepticeye was left "quite upset" and chose not to delve into the specifics of what happened. The cancellation has significantly disrupted his plans for 2025, leaving him uncertain about his priorities and future projects.
In the video, Jacksepticeye also discussed the broader challenges he has faced creatively, with several projects either being canceled or not progressing as hoped. This has led to a frustrating period where he feels he has little to show for his efforts.
Following Soma, Frictional Games released two more Amnesia titles: Amnesia: Rebirth in 2020 and Amnesia: The Bunker in 2023. In July 2023, Frictional's creative director Thomas Grip mentioned the company's intention to shift focus from horror to explore other emotional qualities in their games, aiming to provide immersive experiences beyond just horror.
Jacksepticeye's revelation about the Soma animated show cancellation highlights the challenges content creators face when ambitious projects do not come to fruition, impacting their plans and creative output.
