hey. I don't know who this will reach, but my name is Jami Lynne and I worked as a composer for the video game "omori". I understand a lot of y'all played and enjoyed it. And as far as my contributions to it, I'm very grateful for the support and enthusiasm. However, in regards to the character I contributed to the story of that game, "Space Boyfriend", I have to draw some boundaries with some of you.
Please stop digging through my past to look for more information about this character. Nothing I made about this character in the past has anything to do with Omori. Please understand that this musical project of mine was very inexorably linked to myself and my feelings at the time, and in my mind the person behind that project is not the same person I am today. "Space Boyfriend" is very close to a 'deadname' for me. And recently, I have heard from several old friends and collaborators of mine about fans reaching out to THEM about old art or merch they made for me that is no longer available. I need this to stop, immediately.
Whatever is out there online, is out there. I can't and won't try to control that. If people seek my old work out and enjoy it, that's great! I just ask that you understand there is a lot of pain involved in this past project of mine, and it feels like my skeletons are being unearthed without my consent. Please have some compassion about this. And please stop emailing or messaging other people who are not me about this project. There is nothing omori-related to gain from any of this. Space Boyfriend was a very personal and vulnerable project for me, a way to explore myself and my feelings at the time, none of this has anything to do with the character's appearance in the game. Please understand that the Space Boyfriend in omori and the character depicted in my old art and music are completely separate characters. I understand and appreciate the interest, but the thorough investigation of this old art is incredibly invasive and incredibly painful for me. It is already complicated enough to be involved with omori, as I share a soundtrack with someone who is a domestic abuser who's outing was largely ignored by this same fanbase. Please understand how much skin I have in the game on this one. Please have some compassion. Email me about it if you absolutely must, but please leave my old friends and collaborators out of this. Please.
I understand the place of appreciation this comes from, and I appreciate your support. Thank you for understanding.
-Jami Lynne
