Hey everyone! We are rapidly approaching 1.0 and I thought I’d share my plans for full release and beyond!
First just wanna thank you for being part of this game’s development and giving ideas and feedback. It’s been really great having you to go to whenever I have new ideas or concepts to try out 🙂 It’s been a lot of fun hearing your ideas and suggestions as well! It’s definitely been a great learning experience for me and I hope it’s been fun for you guys to see the game grow over the past year!
Plans for JAN as I approach 1.0:
So recently we hit v0.9.5 with the update allowing a rotating weekly free game mode. From there the following weeks I will be primarily focusing only on bug fixes, QOL improvements and polish.
I plan on hitting 1.0 on March 25th. With the full release, based on your feedback, I think it’s fair to raise the price of premium to $8 USD? (There will still be the free version of course!)
After 1.0:
As far as my plans for JAN AFTER 1.0, frankly, I’m not sure. I’ve been really grinding on this for a while and very much need a long break. I still think there’s plenty of cool game mode/stage ideas that could be added to the future but right now I don’t want to promise anything like DLC until I figure out my next steps in life.
What I WILL promise, of course, is bug fixes as they come up. I’ll be working a temporary full time job starting at the end of the month so the updates will be slower than they have been but I’ll be sure to add small updates when I can 🙂
Also our community manager @Zakton (Brent) will still be working on getting more eyes on the game and more players in 🙂
I’ll be sure to post again here when I figure out my next steps, so if you’re interested in my future work(on JAN or otherwise) I’d like it if you stuck around 🙂 And ofc the discrod will still be there to post ideas and find matches.
So that’s pretty much it. Does this sound good to you? Don’t want anyone to feel cheated or anything
