We Got A Letter From Universal - Jurassic Park Operations Update

About a month ago we got a letter from Universal asking us to remove the Jurassic Park intellectual property from our game. This doesn't mean the game is getting canceled but things will be changing before we release it to the public. Stay tuned for more updates and information.

The fact that they see this game as a threat is a huge compliment

[noahmintie]

"Protect how their fans view the franchise"

Yes, I need my corporate overlords to tell me how to enjoy my content.

[NathanielTavington]

I just *love* how Universal thinks fan games will ruin their IP image when they release nothing but park builders, even though we've been BEGGING for a game like this ever since Trespasser.

[TwilightRO]

Also, a note to anyone who decides to do a game or a project that has sensitive copyrights. There has been several projects in the past where the team completely worked on it in complete silence and released it when it was finished for free and dumped online. This worked wonders for those projects. Shedding a light, giving trailers and gameplay, early previews, just asks for trouble. It's terrible universal went after this one, but next time just keep it a secret until its done.

[EvolutionSquare]

Sad to see it "end" this way

[aaroncoff]

Wouldn't wanna damage the vision of the filmmakers that make such masterpieces as the Jurassic World franchise. What a tragedy that would be.

[seriousnesstv]

Please universal…. Please give us this game, they should either make it official or at least allow it to be made so long as it gives a disclaimer

[Syenthros]

This is why I always advocate for fan games to keep quiet until release or near release of their projects. It hurts the hype build up, but it keeps the big studios from noticing until it's too late to stop you.

It's a real shame to see such a promising project struct down by corpo clowns.

[Stuntmansam]

I'm sure if Steven Spielberg saw what you guys were working hard on, he would be jumping with joy and looking forward to the final product just like us. Please universal, this is what fans have always wanted.

[Alexanderthegreat]

I love how they're worried about this hurting the vision of directors when more love is gone into this game than most of the movies combined. This is literally the most love director could get. They're just worried that people will love this game more than anything they've put out or at least almost anything

[SwrveYT]

I’m honestly very disappointed. You’re not the first and sadly you won’t be the last. You guys did an incredible job making this and deserve the best from it!

I just wish Universal would understand this and instead hire you guys and help fund (pennies for them) a really cool Jurassic game that fans have been wanting for Over a Decade. Unless something is in the works, I’m genuinely shocked by their decisions that they’ve been making regarding shutting down these games. The fans deserve more.

Wish you guys all the best on your project and hope you can come out with the best solution! 🦖

[prehistoricdomain]

So sad. This is at least another proof that you are doing something exceptional. And all this support from the community it's very strong. Maybe you won't be able to complete this project, but I'm convinced that it will have an impact on JP video games, that's something ! Bravo, again, a monstrous work and can't wait to see the rest of your projects !

[jbtwofour]

I feel as heartbroken as Hammond once he realized his dream was lost. 😔

[justthereed]

You should try and get in touch with someone Universal. Really really push the envelope. That’s how this stuff gets made. You’ve got to fight for this.

[jag_rex]

You can always try to ask klayton fioriti fore help he's a big name in the Jurassic Park community and unlike other YouTubers he knows some people who worked in Jurassic world films and with universal.
So to me that's honestly the closest you can get to Universal.

[TimChism]

So sorry to hear it. The JP Operations reveal trailer made me feel more in 2 minutes than all 2 1/2 hours of JW Dominion.

What you guys have done is incredible! At the very least, congratulations on being so talented and achieving such success that it can easily be mistaken for something a team of dozens or hundreds would produce.

[beebeedeluxe]

As a game dev for almost 20 years and a Jurassic Park mega fan for much longer, this is such a sad situation. Incredible work guys and I would love to play something like this. I can’t imagine how difficult this latest news has been, especially since your demo has me more hyped than most AAA full releases.

I am in awe of your passion and dedication so I look forward to whatever you work on next even if the JP ip is removed

[rexy_otiranossauro]

Having the lawyer from the first movie in the thumbnail reminds me of when John Hammond mentioned that the lawyers won't let him dream of doing the park the same way universal did

[spensimus]

This absolutely sickens me. I’ve seen this happen to other projects before. The way universal treats jurassic fans is fucked up. they did that whole amber society thing where they had actors playing fans fake debating each other over jp stuff… then they have “fan fridays” on their social media where they release “fan” videos that have very little to do with jp other than dinosaurs without crediting the “fans” who made them. when you have actual fans pouring their heart and soul into a project only to get shut down… shit’s disgusting. i’m so sorry man, you deserve better

[rutchjohnson]

Honestly I would just make your own dinosaur IP at this point. You got such a good base game here. What made Jurassic park feel so good anyways was environment, the 90s tech, and believable dinosaurs. You can copyright claim any of that.
