JAK AND DAXTER REBOOT PITCH# 3
For a reboot, I'd go back to TPL and lean into the fantasy genre more. I'd have it be a quest where Jak is traveling to prove himself to Damas and Spargus. He ends up meeting Daxter and Keira along the way and they team up.
My pitch involved reimagining the Haven era characters and places for TPL's era.
There will be more darker themes and it would still be a coming of age story. It's just gonna be a different journey from the original games.
Reboots should be similar but different in my view.
Having Jak, Daxter, and Keira team up allows a flip on their original dynamic. Each of them has their own goals and gimmic. Jak is a swordmaster, Daxter is a stealthy trickster while Keira is a gadget girl.
Praxis is reimagined as the Marauder leader. He and Damas have an epic rivalry because of family baggage. Praxis's family were allies to Mar but had a falling out. So Ashelin is more of a rival to Jak in the beginning.
This condenses my previous reboot pitches into a more focused form.
Most of the previous games would pop in, but there would be a ton of new content to explore.
Instead of third person shooter mechanics, there will be hack and slash mechanics instead...;).

JnD zine looking for mods!
Who?
Jak and Daxter fans! Maybe you :3?
What?
A sfw art zine to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Jak 3! It will be printed, with a digital version available as well. There might even be a merch bundle ;)
When?
Mod applications open on April 27th. The rest of the projected schedule can be found here.
Aiming for preorders to open on the 20th anniversary (Nov. 9th)!
Where?
You can find us on Tumblr, Xitter, IG, and Bsky! We will also have a private Discord for mods and contributors.
Why?
JnD is a beloved franchise that deserves to be celebrated. Not much official merch exists, so it's time to make some of our own! And who knows 👀 maybe if we make enough noise, something will happen
Additionally, any profits from the zine will be donated to The River Otter Ecology Project!
Mod info!
All mods and contributors will receive a free copy of the zine.
We're looking for people to fill these roles:
Organizers: run the Discord and help contributors meet deadlines
Graphics: make graphics for social posts and zine page decor
Marketing: draft and post on socials according to schedule
Requirements: must be friendly, more-or-less organized, and able to work with a team. No experience required, though it's a plus!
More info to come when mod applications open on the 27th.
@zinefeed @all-zine-apps @zine-scene

Happy 20th Anniversary to Jak II! Jak and Daxter was the spark for my love of video games. When I first stepped into Haven City and immersed myself in the world, I knew video games were something special. Have this animation of the angry renegade and his furry best friend!!

Precursor Drone Kiera
Oh Kiera, out of all the childhood crushes I had growing up you are the one I'm surprised I don't get more art off despite the fact that the Jak and Daxter series is still one of my favourite Playstation exclusive franchises. Well, this series and Ratchet and Clank.
Inkling Michael: Wait, what about Crash Bandicoot. That was like THE defining title on the Playstation 1 and you've even admitted you love that series and was even the first video game franchise you played.
I said Playstation EXCLUSIVE franchises! Why would I count a franchise that has been multiplatform since 2001, only the first five games are exclusive to a Playstation system and N.Sane Trilogy was only a PS4 exclusive for a year before going multiplatform anyway as a Playstation Exclusive?
IM: Okay but how do you explain stuff like Bayonetta then where the first game's multiplatform and was even re-released on PS4/Xbox One and PC for it's 10 year anniversary but Bayonetta 2 onwards are only on Nintendo systems?
That's...... complicated because of how no one else other than Nintendo wanted to even publish Bayonetta 2 in the first place... Okay fine, you got me on that one!
Believe it or not, this pic actually has a bit of a backstory behind it's inspiration. I was replaying Jak 2, specifically the PS4 re-release since it had trophy support and I had become a bit of an avid trophy and achievement hunter in the past few years and wanted to add another one of my favourite games to that list of fully Platinumed games especially since I had Platinumed the original Jak and Daxter a few years ago. I... gave up on trying to Platinum Jak 2 after remembering the insane score requirements for some of the optional challenges though and I REALLY didn't want to use the Orb Farming glitch or Debug mode to just get the Platinum instantly. However midway though my playthrough a sudden thought came into my mind relating to the Precursors, the ancient and technologically advanced beings that much Jak and Daxter's world and lore is built around. My though process was basically "Okay but what if the Precursors had hypnosis or fembot technology for controlling hostiles?"
And that's it! That's how this whole idea was spawned! Just a random intrusive thought while playing a game I absolutely adore. I came up with a design, picked who I wanted to be the victim which of course it was going be Kiera (though trust me, I was close to going with Ashelin at one point) and asked Ameer to draw this for my next Fully Detailed Ko Fi reward. And maybe this is just my own childhood love for Kiera talking here, again she was one of my childhood crushes, but this is honestly one of my favourite things I've gotten Ameer to draw for me so far. And finally uploading it for more people to see feels good. Nothing could ruin this night at all.
Genie Michael: Sony ported Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier to PS5 before they ported Daxter! :D
...... Why do I even hang out with you people?
Artist is AmmerAshourDraws.

find the word tag
@space-writes tagged me for this one - thank you! check out their snippets here. my words to find are rise, sick, away and small. i'll pull from Dead Roots, Dark Water for this one.
passing the tag along to @isabellebissonrouthier, @lordfenric-writes, @pb-dot, @nettleandthorne, and @byjillianmaria to find listen, steam, stretch, and emerge.
now, on to the words:
rise
“Tomorrow the sun will rise on the thirtieth anniversary of the Seaside Drowning. Our dear city has not been the same since that day; I know I haven’t. And I know that, without my dear brother, I would never have survived the years following that disaster.” It was always Praxis on the screamers. He was old news; another voice to be lost in the hum of the city. But with Maia’s voice purring through the aging speakers, Jak was hardly the only one to stop and listen.
sick
Metal head corpses littered the sand. White bone gleamed in the hazy sunlight where skin and scales and metal plates had sloughed away. Steaming puddles of ooze surrounded each body, a sickly gray-purple slurry. Daxter's throat burned. "Are they… disintegrating?"
away
Sunlight reflected off a black mirror. Deep and dark and preternaturally still, the water stretched out and away from the city, penned in by a wide semicircle of buildings and derelict docks. A massive access gate rose from the water, closing it off from the ocean beyond. Port Haven.
small
Ceres tumbled from the bunk and went to his bookshelf. He reached behind the shelf and pulled out a battered wooden box. Torn made a small noise in the back of his throat. “So that’s where it went.” He set down his pen and, in a move that sent Daxter’s jaw crashing to the floor, emerged from behind his desk. He sat on the floor across from Ceres and watched the kid open the box and unfold the game board. “You know how to play?”

It was Jak X's 18th anniversary the other day, and it got me thinkin': probably one of the sickest things that this game has done for JND, outside of being a badass game overall, is that it's kind of affiliated that whole era of JND with Queens of the Stone Age (thanks to the opening cutscene and the editor who used QOTSA scratch tracks), and specifically the QOTSA album that's about driving.
Songs for the Deaf can be interpreted as a concept record about someone's journey driving across the desert of California and the music on the radio OR as someone literally driving away from their problems and their internal thoughts about it all. Not only is this album full of bangers, but it has a relative amount of angst in its lyrics, ready to be applied to-- you guessed it, JND's characters. The first full song that plays in Jak X's opening cutscene is also technically the first song that plays on the album after the intro (You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionare) and starts with the sound of someone turning their car on, just like Jak kicking it into high gear in the middle of Kras when JX starts. I like this album a whole lot, and also some of the guys who recorded Songs for the Deaf helped Billy Howerdel on the OST for Jak X as well, so QOTSA runs deeper than just the two licensed tracks.
In a perfect world I would have the stamina and brainpower to write something JND related based on this album, but it's probably going to just manifest as a fanfiction based on Desert Bus instead. But yeah. Just wanted to get this outta me system .
Also, this is a little more on the theoretical/kinda Silly side, but there's a even smaller snippet of Song for the Dead that plays specifically when the camera actually enters the bar Daxter is in during the opening cutscene. If we assume it's playing from the jukebox in the bar (which it is in the shot), we can make the gigantic stretch that there's a JND-ified Josh Homme out there who recorded the song with the rest of his band, which can then spiral out to the rest of the guys who recorded the album being present in JND canon (Dave Grohl, Troy Van Leeuwen (who also recorded the Jak X OST and in turn worked with Howerdel's band A Perfect Circle), other Homme projects like Kyuss and the Desert Sessions having happened at some point, etc etc, it's stupid but I think it's funny. Jak would absolutely drag his friends to the equivalent of Warped Tour or any other festival/concert that's got the bands he likes playing shows.

JAK AND DAXTER FOLLOW UP IDEAS
Jak is a part time troubleshooter for Haven City. Ashelin asks him to deal with big problems the freedom League can't handle. He's loved by some and mistrust by other citizens because he killed many people in Jak 2.
"A Tale of 4 Cities" ashelin asks him and Daxter to investigate Stolz city's disappearance. The Red and Eco Sages of the era blame the other for Stolz's disappearance. So Samos and Ashelin are playing mediator and Jak has a reputation. Stolz city is the future version of Stolz Village, the cut yellow eco village from the first game.
"Faded Memories" Jak returns to Auropea but can't remember what happened last time. He has conflicting memories and has to rely on a mysterious Mr. Orange for help. Why does Mr. Orange remind him of Daxter so much? A remake of Lost Frontier with a time travel twist.
"Caged Animals" jak stumbles onto a murder mystery with ties to his time in prison. Could there be other survivors of the Dark Warrior Program?
"At the feet of thy mother" jak discovers the mysterious scientist he's tracking is his birth mother. She aims to go back in time to stop the kidnapping of her son Mar. Can Jak convince her to let it go or will he join her in her grief?
"Starlight" jak has to protect an alien scientist from an otherworldly threat. She's a quirky Doctor Who type whose either a human from a futuristic Earth or a lizard lady. She's also Jak’s new love interest.
"Many paths, one destination" Jak's mothers action created a ripple effect across the Multiverse. 10 different timelines were created. Our Jak has to rally his alternate selves and stop the multiverse from spinning out of control. There is also a traitor amongst them and it's not the Jak raised by Gol and Maia.
"Second Chances" Jak has to teamup with old villians such as Veger, Rayn, Gol and Maia.
These are set after Combat Racing and jak is mid 20s to early 30s between them.
These are standalone outside of 2 of them. I wanted to avoid Kingdom Hearts's mistakes with the Xehanort saga.
Any thoughts/questions are welcome.
