Original postHey everyone,
What a week! It feels like only yesterday we were celebrating hitting the 1,000 Wishlist milestone, and honestly, the growth we’ve seen since that post has been nothing short of stunning.
To every new player who joined during the Steam Typing Fest: Welcome to the show.
Seeing so many new Jesters entering has given me a massive boost of energy to keep pushing toward Version 1.0.Production Update: Story Level 3
I know you’re all eager to see where the story goes next. I’m thrilled to announce that Story Level 3 is officially in production! The dictionary is being expanded, the new boss mechanics are being tuned, and the "Story about Clowns" is about to get a whole lot deeper. If everything goes well there will also be further unlockable progression for endless modeTarget Release: THIS MONTH (February 2026)!

Original postHey everyone,
We just officially crossed the 1,000 Wishlist mark!
Watching the community grow around this little 8-bit project has been the highlight of my year. To some, 1,000 might just be a number, but as a solo dev, I’m imagining 1,000 people all in one room waiting to play my game. That is incredible.
The momentum we’ve built over the last few weeks is insane, and it’s all thanks to you guys.
As for Typing with Jester, development is only accelerating. I am currently finalizing a dedicated roadmap for the game, which I will be publishing early in February alongside some other big news. This roadmap will detail exactly where Jester is heading and what you can expect in future versions. My philosophy is to let the game take as long as it needs to reach its full potential, so while I won't be setting strict deadlines, I look forward to sharing the vision of what is to come.
While my full focus remains on Typing with Jester, I want to give you a sneak peek at what lies on the horizon. I am officially announcing my next project: Spitshot.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3893590/Spitshot
It is a reimagined arcade classic built with the same dedication as Typing with Jester. The store page currently features a pre-alpha look at the game, but just like Typing with Jester evolved over nearly a decade of development, Spitshot will undergo a similar transformation as I bring it to life. I am sharing it now just to start the journey and begin building its community for the future.Huge thanks for the support!
