I think they are getting worse for sure. I heard their head artist left and was replaced, that's when the models started losing their appeal. They rush them out pretty quickly every month, and I think that plays a part of the quality decline. I would much rather them take extra time to make beautiful models than getting rushed, muddy, and awkward animals that no one wants to buy or use.
I wonder how is it looks like when they would do Pug next..👀 I really like pugs, but if they would do it in AJ, i would really worried about how AJ gonna design it.💀 And I'm really sorry for French Bulldog.. Why French bulldog deserved this design? (Srry for my english 👀)
At this point lots of new animals look crappy, and some dont have right proportions, for example: the french bulldog, its torso is shorter then a regular french bulldog. The head is almost bigger then its body, a real french bulldogs head isnt nearly as big. The eyes are way to big, the eyes are bigger then its snout. The snout is also pretty small. Its ears are social distancing or something, the ears are farther apart compared to an image of a french bulldog. The tail is so small, at first when i saw this animal jam animal i didnt even notice it had a tail and ajhq just forgot. Even though a french bulldogs's tail is short and small, not this small- The front legs are almost 2 times bigger then the back legs while a regular french bulldog's legs are about the same size, the back legs being the smallest bit tinier. The front legs look too big to even be able to hold its body without always flopping over. There is more i can go over but i already broke my arms -catswampy-
@@probablysarcasm7510 yeah but the thing is it looks good. animal jam has never had exactly correct anatomy but they made it cartoony and look good, but now theyre focusing on either making it look exactly like the animal and very realistic or look nothing like the animal which makes it look kinda weird (sorry if my english is bad im mexican)
@Adrienne Larsen but I mean the one in AJ looks a bit weird, I used to own one until he got hit by a car and they didn’t look as weird as the one in AJ
@@namelessechos5380 I mean I know this is just ur opinion and I respect that but I have a frenchie (French Bulldog) of my own. Mines cute but the one Ajhq created is kinda insulting to the dog.
I do agree some animal designs could’ve been more better, when you previewed the cheetah in the vid, I don’t like it’s lump near it’s front legs, but nevertheless, I still want it. I’m collecting any animal whether good or bad, I just need the cheetah and koala to complete my collection
Making 3d art is super hard.. I cant even make a bed or a table.. And the worst part is that when I tried to make it, it doesn't save my work and it costs an immense amount of sapphires just to make one art depending on how many blocks there are. I wish there was like a token you could use, like the one for masterpieces...
The sculpting is ez but keeping everything clean (the topology) and as efficient.. Idk can't describe it but point is making game models are hard. You'll need to bake other stuff too (normal map, roughness, metallness thing, etc). If you're a sculptor (only a sculptor, you don't animate anything) then it should be not that hard. I tried retopo while ago and I gotta say damn its pretty hard. At the end I got some tris and n-gons and I have no idea how to clean them. And normal map baking always went bad. Mobile devices are weaker than computers too, so you need to make stuff as light as possible. Ugh AJ is actually laggy for my phone Oh edit: just remembered AJ is not about realism (not so) so maybe you don't need normal map and stuff like that Btw watch YanSculpts, he made sculpting look effortless.
I noticed something else on the 3D models… when you look closely on some of them, you can notice many little pixels on the model texture (only on iOS, I don’t see it on android devices) instead of a clean/smooth model, so it seems like as if they just rushed it
Honestly we just want the old design types but why, the old desgins dosent have gradients in thier body colors like the old ones they have a smoother body color, the new ones shapes are creepy and so detailed and items dosent fit however the old ones bodies do fit in items better and they were more animal jam looking not so fat and so skinny like there are more diffrences between them
I really liked when aj had a cartoonish style to ajpw as it fits in with the stylized world unlike the more realistic ones the eyes and body shape don’t really fit with the other animals like put the German Shepard and Wolf beside eachother they just seem off to me
Why do I feel like for some of the models, they just low key reuse the feral models. Like the maned wolf gives me sooo many kitsune/senri vibes and the Arctic hare looks INCREDIBLY like the jackalope
I kinda agree with you. Mine is a cyan and very bright beige, my arctic hare is veeery cute. If you see me, my username is animal4layla5 incase you want to ever see me
The French bulldog is nightmare fuel I must say. I like the design of the animals that don’t look as cute, like the direwolf or the cheetah. (I still love the cute ones tho ngl) I personally don’t like the design of the Siamese cat but it’s just my opinion. Some just look cute and intimidating like the direwolf. The hippo is ugly but I just randomize it and walk around in it as a joke LOL
siameses are cute, and cheetah its not too scare.. the cheetah look cute too. and direwolf too. the new designs, without siamese and german sheperd are... uh.
The French bulldog is just- why The designs of the new animals are getting weird Also I was the chocolate lab following you at 6:46 :D I love your videos
I agree! Animal Jam started making animals with white eyelashes. I miss the classic black lashes. I'm scared they're gonna make a horribly-proportioned human next with white eyelashes and the male build for both eyelashes and no eyelashes, like the peacock!
Yeah, I quit animal jam a while ago because AJ classic is dead and there’s no roleplayers left, I also stopped playing ajpw because the textures and dens are starting to look really rushed and crappy compared to the old versions. It hurts to see this stuff happening to the game that I was obsessed with for most of my childhood.
I agree that the animal designs have been getting less appealing by animal, and in my honest opinion, ever since the maned wolf came out. I know how hard it is to make 3D models and all, but i think aj needs to take a break from monthly animals, even though we love new animals so much, if their designs are rushed and if they look less appealing to players, I just don’t think they will get as much love as the older models, which yes they had flaws but not flaws like the features you listed under the title of cats and dogs which I could clearly imagine which ones you where talking about. I don’t want to throw shade at aj or anything but, if they keep coming out with cats and dogs just to keep their game afloat then they just need to take a break. Or, they could spend more time on the designs to make them look better. Or they could bring an out of store animal back in store to make the community at least a little better feeling about the whole situation, overall this is just my honest opinion, people who are reading this can have their own opinions, I’m not trying to disrespect anyone, but I’m glad that someone finally spoke out and made a video about this. Thanks leamon!
Personally, I dislike the French bull dog. I don’t really like animals with super big eyes- it’s kinda creepy, example like the bull dog, it’s just staring into your soul.
When the husky came out, i was really happy since that was an animal that I was REALLY looking forward to seeing, but it looked WAY too similar to the german shepard model, and since I've already bought it, I felt like it was kinda irrelevant to buy the husky as well. I was really disappointed and frustrated TwT
It sucks because AJHQ has a 3D model kangaroo in the data base somewhere from AJ jump, meaning that it wouldn’t even be too hard to make something since they could just update that model to fit the game, and the model of the kangaroo in Aj jump is VERY cute in my opinion- I really want a cow in the game :,3
Hiiiiii frost!! Honestly I agree, it looks like WildWorks is focusing on the cats more since they've had more catlike creatures in the game than dog like ones. The foxes resemble cats, so do the snow leopard and the tiger.
I would just like to say, I've been noticing that some of the newer den items have been getting lazier. The models are fine, but the textures look really off to me. Not all of them, but when the spring ( 2021 ) den item textures look really off to me. I know this video is mainly about animal models, but I wanted to mention this.
ive always liked the less fluffy/chubby/cute and more lanky/realistic designs for animals, especially the arctic hare (my favorite animal). in my opinion a lot of the big, kind of square headed animals with large tails and fluffy bodies all start to look the same after a while due to their similar structure, meanwhile the designs like arctic hare, direwolf, and python tend to stand out because theyre unique and interesting (hence why i prefer to use them). i can totally see the appeal of the big headed chubby animals, though. they remind me of old lps figures and are super cute!
For me I honestly dont like bigger front paws if they all had bigger back paws it would be so much cuter! Also really cluttered patterns I wish they would space them out more!
Things that I’ve been noticing the recent designs have been doing that make them “weird” or “bad”: Head too big COMPARED TO thin/small body (especially true for pets!!!) Tail too small Everything smooth instead of more blocky shapes Large areas/features that can’t be colored (example: large ears) Colors change shades on certain body parts/fading/shading Lifeless eyes Thin legs
ik i already commented but i’ve been noticing the models getting worse for a looong time, my main complains about new animal are how weirdly shaped they are they really do look more like they belong in fer.al; the other thing is the textures of the animals and the way animals like the peacock make the colours darker than what u choose and the patterns are so weirdly placed that i don’t even bother using them anymore. the textures on old animals are so smooth and cartoonish then the new animals tend to have weird not-smooth looking textures, the first time i noticed was when the lynx first came out, but at least the lynx looks like it belongs in the game. also, the items often look bad especially when they make weird small headed animals like the peacock, which is my only regret buying if u couldn’t tell 😭😭😭 even the pets and items and dens have weird textures and i don’t like them much at all 😀
A long time ago, I used to play Animal Jam Play Wild as well too. The game was pretty good and interesting! I had many friends and there were many players. But sadly, I left it like 2 years ago because all animals cost a lot of sapphires... 150 sapphires for one animal!? That's horribly unfair, because it takes weeks and months to collect 150 sapphires. And each pet cost 50 sapphires!? The prices are TERRIBLE! Of course, there are lucky people, who have enough cash, so they buy sapphires but I am not that type of person, who wastes money on games. Secondly, most of the new animals look weird, their bodies and eyes look not normal. Their heads are bigger than their bodies, some of their front legs are thicker and bigger than the back legs. AJHQ has lost creativity and ideas because they only make cats and dogs in the game. Of course, it's very disappointing to leave such a nice game but this game only gets worse and worse. The animal designs and these bots are destroying the peaceful game. In my opinion, the worst part is that AJHQ doesn't listen to people's opinions. Sometimes you just want to punch AJHQ for ignoring the players' ideas, comments, and useful opinions.
5:09 like ur owl character and the panda and the lemur lol Also I've noticed that the game is making less flying animals and reptiles like alligators or a parrot or a duck idk?? Also I hope animal jam creates poodle like how they made the pet poodle :D and they create it exactly like the pet except a few differences between the body since the pet is smaller.
I personally love the arctic hare just cause of how masculine it looks instead of a feminine bunny (I’m trans masc). I like the sleek, cool design and I think it fits really well with things like antlers to make it look like a jackalope :D
when the arctic hares first released, I was playing Wild Works' other game Feral a lot, and the hares looked like something from Feral, like the Jackalope creature moved from one game to another
Answer to the title: Yes Why?: Because AJ has taken more time on fer.al and other stuff to put alot of work onto AJPW But why are there better designs from way back: Because AJ only focused on 2 games, AJPW and AJC. But mostly AJPW at that time because they wanted to grow their game and make it better. But now that Wildworks has fer.al now, they will not put as much effort into the new animals (also tell me one item that looks good on the Himalayan cat)
Arctic hares remind me ALOT of Jackalope in Fer.al. I think the less clean style of Fer.al helps it look better- however it definitely isn’t my favourite. It would be nice if AJ made more animals like the Senri, Dragon or the Phoenix. Their well thoughtful and quite eye appealing.
Comparing a bunch of new animals and items to old ones really shows the difference in quality. To me, a bunch of new items just look off. I cant explain it well, but they look like cheap plastic toys compared to older items.
I mean i think that some designs are really good, the peacock isn't bad, the german shepard isn't bad either. I actually like the lynx xD. Also I would like ot say that even though I create art with the same stance, they are different xD (if anyone follows my insta). I totally agree with this!
OMG!!! thats such a great idea!! gj!! I feel like that would be really creative and it would stand out.. like the flying fox! You never see them irl but that give an opertunity to learn!* *sorry for trash spelling xd
AGREED!!! The patterns look more pixelated than the older animals (stripes, zigzags, etc.) The dances and play animations are SO lazy. Like, the Siamese can, has almost the SAME dance as the Himalayan Cat. They are rushing these animals!
Ngl aj only has one month to create a huge den, lots of items, a song, an animal, a pet, daily login prize, AND daily login spin the wheel new animal prizes So they don’t really have much time to do anything
While I do agree that it’s a huge workload, we also have to remember how big Animal Jam is, even though it’s declining. They have a LOT of people working for them. I think that it’s because they know that the game is getting less popular so they’re playing it safe so that people stop leaving.
I find the fact that they make the models seem smoother same with the plushies... They don't really fit their surroundings unlike the older ones, I can't put my finger on why they look weird but to me they don't seem natural I prefer the older ones and same for the plushies since they actually look like a plushy and not a motionless version of the animals the only pet I've disagreed with was the chick just because it's head was ridiculously big and on top of that the eyes didn't even fit the preposition with them being so small. All in all I agree with this video entirely and I was waiting for it to show up.
I definitely agree. Not only in Play Wild though, but even in Classic. Notice how most newer animal models on there (after 2016 or so) have black lines around their patterns and most items look poorly-modelled and rushed on them as well. Oh, and the uninspired dances... AJC and AJPW suffer from that nowadays. I hate the golden retriever's dance. Then again even when we were getting these rushed animals on AJC, atleast we were getting animals. Now all we get is re-releases...
Finally somone talks about them! Its such an obvious change too. The models Are weirdly smooth, honestly the siamese cat and maybe the mainecoon Are the ones i think look ''the best'' i guess. The peafowl is only in the male gender, and not the female. Like there couldve atleast been a way to change it inatead of just the eyelashes...
If you can see The fox (old one) has smooth curves unlike the jackalope the bunny. It has many (muscles??) and slanted curves that make it look too buff…
the newest animal have a weird glitch when playing with a buddy, maybe mini games, the trading, and out to some places there eyes are mess up make me not want to play with them
I think they should have (for the German and golden) a way to edit the bodie parts a bit like a way to subtly Change the tail or flop/straighten the ears Please yeet the French bull dog back into the underworld where it came from Also the Arctic bunny is too lanky lol
Whether it's new or years old, Leamon Puppy's videos are always so entertaining and amazing in my honest opinion. My favorite TH-cam may be SSSniperWolf, but my second favorite will ALWAYS be Leamon Puppy!❤
Rip Ajpw, it was a game that was once good and had its golden days. Then things started to go down hill, company became greedy, developer's became lazy and no one cares anymore, as long as they get their pay checks their happy. I thank you all for attenting animal jams funeral.
tbh i think animal jam is running out of ideas. i think a solution to that problem could be them takeing a break from mothly updates, putting old animals in the shop like raccoons, and actually listening to fans of the game.
if you've been playing animal jam still, then most people should know that the designs have gotten better and better and thy even started releaseing animals with clothing sets
Gonna be honest I didn't realize people didn't like the Arctic Hare... I think it's one of the better new designs and looks different enough from the bunny to be worth buying. I use it as a jackalope :3
Im more concerned about dens actually. Old ones like Moonlight Manor seems like a godlike den compared to new dens that AJHQ is releasing. No grass texture, lacks dimensions etc..
I do like the knew models, especially the siamese cats. I think these designs are great. But I doesn't fit the old style, and I miss it. It doesn't feel like animal jam. It's one of the many reasons I don't play very often anymore.
I think AJ should work harder on the models, even though the head artist left. They should stop rushing animals into the game and take time on an animal, I see nobody with the french bulldog animal because it looks rushed and not good. I think everyone likes the old animals because the old animals had good models, I love the Fox Arctic Fox and the Fennec Foxes design. I have them and I love their models because it's adorable as heck! I was asking jammers which animal should I buy a couple days ago and someone said the Arctic Hare, I was like "uh..." Then I went and bought the Siamese cat because it looked cute.
aj 5 years ago: let’s add a bit of exaggeration, just a sprinkle.
aj now: let’s make it so exaggerated it’s hard to tell what animal it is
yes- yes yes yes that is so true
@Opposinn Dog oop-
FOR REAL 💀
I think they are getting worse for sure. I heard their head artist left and was replaced, that's when the models started losing their appeal. They rush them out pretty quickly every month, and I think that plays a part of the quality decline. I would much rather them take extra time to make beautiful models than getting rushed, muddy, and awkward animals that no one wants to buy or use.
I agree
Mhm, also I wish I was the animal jam artist for animal xd
@@hmm_megi if you were, they'd suck even more
@@muffincat8031 i agree
I honestly just buy every animal and don’t use em
The body sizes of each new animal keeps going 📈📉📈📉📈📉📈📉

My favourite animal out of all of the cats and dogs is the Siamese cat, so hopefully they are getting better at making animals again.

Everything smooth instead of more blocky shapes
Large areas/features that can’t be colored (example: large ears)
Colors change shades on certain body parts/fading/shading
Lifeless eyes
Thin legs
The penguin animation by saying a message with "!" it's broken lol, it just freezes
ik i already commented but i’ve been noticing the models getting worse for a looong time, my main complains about new animal are how weirdly shaped they are they really do look more like they belong in fer.al; the other thing is the textures of the animals and the way animals like the peacock make the colours darker than what u choose and the patterns are so weirdly placed that i don’t even bother using them anymore. the textures on old animals are so smooth and cartoonish then the new animals tend to have weird not-smooth looking textures, the first time i noticed was when the lynx first came out, but at least the lynx looks like it belongs in the game. also, the items often look bad especially when they make weird small headed animals like the peacock, which is my only regret buying if u couldn’t tell 😭😭😭 even the pets and items and dens have weird textures and i don’t like them much at all 😀
Honestly I agree. I do like the Maine coon cats and the German Shepards though, they’re cute.
The designs are fine to me, I just hate the new textures.
Hey leamon puppy! You inspired me to make this account and thank you beacuse without you i would not have made this account. So thank you so much!
A long time ago, I used to play Animal Jam Play Wild as well too. The game was pretty good and interesting! I had many friends and there were many players. But sadly, I left it like 2 years ago because all animals cost a lot of sapphires... 150 sapphires for one animal!? That's horribly unfair, because it takes weeks and months to collect 150 sapphires. And each pet cost 50 sapphires!? The prices are TERRIBLE! Of course, there are lucky people, who have enough cash, so they buy sapphires but I am not that type of person, who wastes money on games. Secondly, most of the new animals look weird, their bodies and eyes look not normal. Their heads are bigger than their bodies, some of their front legs are thicker and bigger than the back legs. AJHQ has lost creativity and ideas because they only make cats and dogs in the game. Of course, it's very disappointing to leave such a nice game but this game only gets worse and worse. The animal designs and these bots are destroying the peaceful game. In my opinion, the worst part is that AJHQ doesn't listen to people's opinions. Sometimes you just want to punch AJHQ for ignoring the players' ideas, comments, and useful opinions.
I used to play ajpw a lot, I agree the prices are super unfair
The pet prices (imo) are definitely overpriced.. 50 SAPPHIRES, WHEEZE-
I agree, even though I can buy them when I renew my membership (The bundles)
I HATE the movie studio bundle because it costs 500 sapphires. Seriously?
You know the drill
If a new animal releases, either they will have very small eyes or straight up bulging out of the body
5:09 like ur owl character and the panda and the lemur lol
Also I've noticed that the game is making less flying animals and reptiles like alligators or a parrot or a duck idk?? Also I hope animal jam creates poodle like how they made the pet poodle :D and they create it exactly like the pet except a few differences between the body since the pet is smaller.
I personally love the arctic hare just cause of how masculine it looks instead of a feminine bunny (I’m trans masc). I like the sleek, cool design and I think it fits really well with things like antlers to make it look like a jackalope :D
when the arctic hares first released, I was playing Wild Works' other game Feral a lot, and the hares looked like something from Feral, like the Jackalope creature moved from one game to another
Answer to the title: Yes
Why?: Because AJ has taken more time on fer.al and other stuff to put alot of work onto AJPW
But why are there better designs from way back: Because AJ only focused on 2 games, AJPW and AJC. But mostly AJPW at that time because they wanted to grow their game and make it better. But now that Wildworks has fer.al now, they will not put as much effort into the new animals
(also tell me one item that looks good on the Himalayan cat)
hum... double dragon wings? no one more item look good in the lil lion
Arctic hares remind me ALOT of Jackalope in Fer.al. I think the less clean style of Fer.al helps it look better- however it definitely isn’t my favourite. It would be nice if AJ made more animals like the Senri, Dragon or the Phoenix. Their well thoughtful and quite eye appealing.
I swear my electronics are tracking me over apps I have never got an aj vid in my recommendations until now and I downloaded the app an hour ago-
Comparing a bunch of new animals and items to old ones really shows the difference in quality. To me, a bunch of new items just look off. I cant explain it well, but they look like cheap plastic toys compared to older items.
Coyotes are my favorite-- I think they have the best model and ADORABLE outfit features!!
The problem animal jam is having with the models is they look so dirty and overly shaded
I mean i think that some designs are really good, the peacock isn't bad, the german shepard isn't bad either. I actually like the lynx xD. Also I would like ot say that even though I create art with the same stance, they are different xD (if anyone follows my insta). I totally agree with this!
I haven't watched the video yet but: yes they're getting worse
IKRRRRR
@@zulumaaa PLSS
@@hambujavi E?
I would like an African wild dog in both games. I mean it's still a dog, right? XD
OMG!!! thats such a great idea!! gj!! I feel like that would be really creative and it would stand out.. like the flying fox! You never see them irl but that give an opertunity to learn!*
*sorry for trash spelling xd
YES.
I love how you said ppl like being funny😂 ty for making my day better Leamon!
I’ve noticed the arctic hare is being used with the duck costume a lot!
AGREED!!!
The patterns look more pixelated than the older animals (stripes, zigzags, etc.)
The dances and play animations are SO lazy. Like, the Siamese can, has almost the SAME dance as the Himalayan Cat.
They are rushing these animals!
Weird how the show Siamese Cat has a larger head and a skinnier body, but in real life the cat's body is larger and the head is a little smaller
Ngl aj only has one month to create a huge den, lots of items, a song, an animal, a pet, daily login prize, AND daily login spin the wheel new animal prizes
So they don’t really have much time to do anything
While I do agree that it’s a huge workload, we also have to remember how big Animal Jam is, even though it’s declining. They have a LOT of people working for them. I think that it’s because they know that the game is getting less popular so they’re playing it safe so that people stop leaving.
@@maesaliva I see I took a while to understand that tho idk y XD
8:22 omg nooo i was waiting for you to click the flowers so bad, the suspence!! AND THEN YOU LEAVE!?
Other than the french alien dog, I love the new models, I mean you can't get much worse that a giraffe necked artic wolf
the game is about WILD animals. Wild. The thing that ticks me off if the fact they’re adding DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
I find the fact that they make the models seem smoother same with the plushies... They don't really fit their surroundings unlike the older ones, I can't put my finger on why they look weird but to me they don't seem natural I prefer the older ones and same for the plushies since they actually look like a plushy and not a motionless version of the animals the only pet I've disagreed with was the chick just because it's head was ridiculously big and on top of that the eyes didn't even fit the preposition with them being so small. All in all I agree with this video entirely and I was waiting for it to show up.
THE SIAMESE CAT LOOKS LIKE A KOBOLD FROM FERAL
I ❤ all animals in animal jam play wild!
The proportions on the bear... Let's just say they aren't perfect. My favorite animal design is direwolf 😃
Mine is artic fox but it isn't comino back :(
Same the direwolf is awesome
Hey lemon puppy ! I love all the animals on aj mobile .I still play animal jam to this day ! And I love the White cappachino !
I honestly stopped even looking at the animals since they switched out the person who worked on them.
I definitely agree. Not only in Play Wild though, but even in Classic. Notice how most newer animal models on there (after 2016 or so) have black lines around their patterns and most items look poorly-modelled and rushed on them as well. Oh, and the uninspired dances... AJC and AJPW suffer from that nowadays. I hate the golden retriever's dance. Then again even when we were getting these rushed animals on AJC, atleast we were getting animals. Now all we get is re-releases...
Finally somone talks about them! Its such an obvious change too.
The models Are weirdly smooth, honestly the siamese cat and maybe the mainecoon Are the ones i think look ''the best'' i guess.
The peafowl is only in the male gender, and not the female. Like there couldve atleast been a way to change it inatead of just the eyelashes...
If you can see
The fox (old one) has smooth curves unlike the jackalope the bunny. It has many (muscles??) and slanted curves that make it look too buff…
For the longest time my komodo dragon was my main look before hyenas were released
the newest animal have a weird glitch when playing with a buddy, maybe mini games, the trading, and out to some places there eyes are mess up
make me not want to play with them
I think they should have (for the German and golden) a way to edit the bodie parts a bit like a way to subtly Change the tail or flop/straighten the ears
Please yeet the French bull dog back into the underworld where it came from
Also the Arctic bunny is too lanky lol
I own like over 60 animals ingame and i only use the older ones because the newer animals dont look as good LOL
Whether it's new or years old, Leamon Puppy's videos are always so entertaining and amazing in my honest opinion. My favorite TH-cam may be SSSniperWolf, but my second favorite will ALWAYS be Leamon Puppy!❤
Yess awesome video and- Congrats on 12k!!! am I first to congratulate?!
I love the cheetah one i really hope they bring it back into stores
Rip Ajpw, it was a game that was once good and had its golden days. Then things started to go down hill, company became greedy, developer's became lazy and no one cares anymore, as long as they get their pay checks their happy. I thank you all for attenting animal jams funeral.
tbh i think animal jam is running out of ideas. i think a solution to that problem could be them takeing a break from mothly updates, putting old animals in the shop like raccoons, and actually listening to fans of the game.
5:15
What’s that hat called that had the moving tail at the back?
Yes I’m off topic of the video but I’m just curious
Oh Leamon, you sweet sweet child. You do not know what is to come….
*husky and German shepherd*
And I made a video on it too bahahah
if you've been playing animal jam still, then most people should know that the designs have gotten better and better and thy even started releaseing animals with clothing sets
Gonna be honest I didn't realize people didn't like the Arctic Hare... I think it's one of the better new designs and looks different enough from the bunny to be worth buying. I use it as a jackalope :3
I just want the Maned Wolves, Foxes, Arctic Foxes, Direwolves an Sabertooths back.
EDIT: The Maned Wolf was the best design ever.
YOU HAVE THE LYNX!? OMG OMG OMG
howwww eeee
Im more concerned about dens actually. Old ones like Moonlight Manor seems like a godlike den compared to new dens that AJHQ is releasing. No grass texture, lacks dimensions etc..
Early congrats!! Your nearly at 12k (11.9k) 🎉🎊
Edit: 12k now!!!
Some models are so bad that they cant do the dance that comes with the hula set lol
Hey atleast the arctic hare is gpod for a duck😂
the tufted deer had so much potential looking at the real animal. aj did the tufted deers so dirty :(
I think they tried to give the arctic hare too realistic, which makes it stick out.
The Siamese and Maine coon, and both cats, but very different breeds, and I think the aj models are different too. You can easily tell which is which.
and also about the animal design thing the french bulldog is deffinently their worst mistake
I wish they would make the timber wolf look good though, beginners and non-members don't rlly have cool animals to start off as :(
They pay more attention in making the animals look like the species... but forget to make them actually look pretty
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THISS
i thought i was the only one that thought they looked uncanny and just ... Bad
I think I'm the only one who plays aj exclusively on the computer even though it's designed for tablets/phones.
don't worry, you aren't the only one. LOL
I do like the knew models, especially the siamese cats. I think these designs are great. But I doesn't fit the old style, and I miss it. It doesn't feel like animal jam. It's one of the many reasons I don't play very often anymore.
I think AJ should work harder on the models, even though the head artist left. They should stop rushing animals into the game and take time on an animal, I see nobody with the french bulldog animal because it looks rushed and not good. I think everyone likes the old animals because the old animals had good models, I love the Fox Arctic Fox and the Fennec Foxes design. I have them and I love their models because it's adorable as heck! I was asking jammers which animal should I buy a couple days ago and someone said the Arctic Hare, I was like "uh..." Then I went and bought the Siamese cat because it looked cute.
The artic hair was horrible. But the new ones are ok. IE: Golden retriever and Siamese cat
I play as the otter just cause it’s not broken lol-
There bad. But the Siamese cat design was a win.
