HI EVERYONE
Zeepkist v16 has been in development for uhhhh about 6 or 7 months now, I've kind of lost track exactly. edit: I've just checked! v16 development started in October!! That's almost 9 months!!!!
But it makes it the biggest update Zeepkist has had ever!
Price Increase
It also happens to be the most important Zeepkist yet, because with the addition of a lot of sounds, I finally feel it's time to move Zeepkist from its Awesome Alpha stage into the Beautiful Beta stage! :D
edit: It's not full release yet, Zeepkist will remain in Early Access!
And with that, as I've long promised, I plan to do a price increase. I'm not ready to reveal the exact sum yet, Steam is still verifying my price change proposal, but it's not going to be an insane amount either way. Along with the price increase will also come regional price adjustments based on exchange rates, which are today a bit different than they were 3.5 years ago when Zeepkist first launched!
It DOES mean, that Zeepkist is currently as cheap as it's probably going to be for quite a while!!
But for that price increase you'll also get something in return, of course!
Without going into details, Zeepkist v16 will:
- Go from 77 adventure levels to 113 adventure levels!
- Go from 1622 level editor blocks to 2284 blocks!!
- Go from 462 cosmetics to 1624 cosmetics! That's 1180 new cosmetics!!!
And not to forget, Zeepkist first launched at it's 10 euro price-point with only 24 levels, 130 blocks, and less than 100 cosmetics. A price increase was well in order :D
Of course, there's many many many other things Zeepkist v16 is getting, but I'm going to have to spend a couple of hours compiling a changelog for all of those...
I hope it will be able to sustain Zeepkist development for a long time to come, and many games beyond :)
Release Date
Enough talk of money! When is Zeepkist v16 going to be available??
WELL (In case nothing goes terribly wrong!!)
Zeepkist v16 is releasing on Monday, June 24!
That's NEXT WEEK
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Let me make that a bit bigger for anyone skimming over to find the good stuff:
Zeepkist v16 Release Date:
Monday, June 24
If nothing goes wrong!!
I don't expect anything to go wrong.
v16 has been in closed-beta testing for many weeks now and a lot of bugs seem to have been thoroughly ironed out. The whole thing looks very very stable from what I can see.
Duncan (my sound guy freelance guru) is currently working on finishing up the final few sounds v16 is getting, and other than that v16 is 100% ready to go.
If post-launch you do find any bugs, of course let me know on the Zeepkist Discord!
HAPPY ZEEPKISTING
I CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK
WOOHOO V16 FINALLY
