Following the end of 2023 Foxtrot Arms will be slowing down and eventually closing around the end of the first quarter of 2024. Truthfully, me, @johndrinkin & @AlkalineCanid are done with this gig, money is alright but it's a really draining job due to the double standard of corporate, the constant targeting of our groups military items, toxicity of the Roblox community at large, and plainly we have all been doing this for 3 years now and it's just not fun, and with the expected changes corporate will be making, will not make the stress of trying to run a Roblox storefront worth it. And truthfully, we all want to just unplug and go have a real life, Roblox takes up too much time in all of our lives for what little we actually get when the trade off is taking literal years off our lives. ================== Q&A Q: When will we close? A: probably around March, a lot depends when and how Roblox fully rolls out their new "stock" system. Q: Will you restock items? A: No comment at this time. Q: What about the remaining furry items? A: Might end up canceling them entirely, not feeling it anymore. Q: What do you personally plan in doing post UGC? A: getting a part time day job just to get out of the house and do something, I like coffee so preferably working somewhere at a Cafe. Aside from that, take odd dev jobs here and there. Q: What do you do dev work wise? A: modeling mostly, but I do code as well, primarily just setting up frameworks and data structures for games. I don't do any front end (UI, particles, animations, things that look pretty or cool), I do the boring back end stuff. Q: Do you have a portfolio? A: Yes, severely outdated by 3 years. New one will be posted in late December Q: Are you looking for work now? A: Unofficially yes, but will not be able to start until the first of the year outside of small jobs. Currently in the middle of being about to move and want to spend 2 weeks trying to get fimilar with driving. I'm 3 years behind on getting a license, or even knowing how to drive lmao. Q: would you leave Roblox? A: Not at the moment no, truthfully I don't have an interest in switching platforms, nor do I think it is wise for me to do so at the moment. I'm more interested in learning how to make mobile graphics look good and roblox fits that niche. Q: What will happen to the Foxtrot Arms server after you close? A: To be discussed internally. Q: Do you think you will return to UGC? A: Probably not, or if I did it would be purely for myself and not a community at large. Done that before, quit being fun when i decided to make things for a community that can be extremely ungrateful and hateful plus a shit ton of other problems. Not everyone was that way but it is too common, and this is a sentiment me, John and Alkaline all share. =================== Thanks for reading, hope you guys have a wonderful holidays and looking forward to seeing what comes next. But for now, goodbye.
