Dev-Blog #13 - Workstation broke down (and got replaced), engine upgrade finished, more frequent updates

Typing with Jester

Typing with Jester is a typing game with a 8-Bit Retro fourscale style. Imagine those classic handhelds had a keyboard and a game like this. Sounds awesome right?

It's been quite a while because my old computer went out of service. I've been able to get a bigger, better, newer pc and now development can progress again. After this forced break i thought it would be a good point to try to upgrade the engine once more, the last time i had massive problems but they seemed to have fixed a thing or two. (see [url=http://steamcommunity.com/games/496520/announcements/detail/511554066923576412]Dev-Blog #9[/url] & [url=http://steamcommunity.com/games/496520/announcements/detail/484540626772826116]Dev-Blog #12[/url]) I did alot of cleanup on my systems and servers. This is not actually that important but because i was unable to develop I could atleast clean the environment a bit. All playable clowns were added to the game although most of them aren't unlockable yet i will let you know once more get unlocked. Along with that Trading Cards are almost done, after the emoticons and backgrounds are done they will be unlocked right away. The enemy characters were also replaced. As the player characters they only have their walking animation for now, the other animations will be added in the future.

I will put all funds generated back into the games development. It's a bit overwhelming because im only able to work on this during my spare time, which is kinda rare since i also have a regular daytime job. But this game will be finished sooner or later, being more and more improved over time. This might take a while but unlike mentioned in the comments section this game is not abandonware, its just a big big task to fund and create an original game. Actually the game's development could easily take another year. I have alot of plans for the release version and it's still a long road to go.
