Hey Cross Impact Community,
It's been a while since our last update, and we know some of you might not have been keeping up with all the developments. We're thrilled to bring you the first of our "new content in short but impactful bursts" to keep everyone in the loop and excited about what's coming next.
Important News and Announcements
Introducing Fark!
We're incredibly excited to announce Fark, the first of the five "Kickstarter Backer" characters! Fark, hailing from the fantastic world of Spark The Electric Jester, is our first character not to be the main protagonist of their original game. Mark your calendars for August 9th, 2024.
A special thank you goes out to SegaGega32XUSA for fully funding Fark. Your belief in our game and team has given us the opportunity to represent this phenomenal franchise, and we couldn't be more grateful.
Cross Impact Goes Free
We have some extremely important news to share: starting with the release of Fark (08/09/24), Cross Impact will no longer be a paid game. This decision wasn't easy, but after much reflection, I've come to realize that making this game accessible to as many players as possible is the most important thing. We want everyone to experience the joy and excitement of Cross Impact without any barriers. As of right now, we have no plans of monetizing the game at all.
For our loyal players who already purchased the game, we haven't forgotten you! Our game recognizes early supporters and will reward you with exclusive cosmetics and future goodies.
To check if you're eligible, launch the game starting from V0.3.2 onward and look at your username in the top right corner of the main menu. If it's Gold, you're all set to receive your rewards. If you owned the game before it became free and your username isn't Gold, please contact us at [email protected].
Your support means the world to us, and this is our way of saying thank you!
What's Next?
Our next content burst is also coming in August 2024, so expect lots of news toward the end of the month. We're keeping things under wraps for now, but we promise it will be worth the wait.
Jumbo Josh Update
Jumbo Josh will be releasing in Q1 2025. As we've previously mentioned, when we first revealed him, it was a "now in progress" announcement, meaning we were just beginning the development stages. We're pleased to report that Jumbo Josh is currently 80% complete, but we want to give him all the polish he needs before his release to ensure he meets the high standards you've come to expect from us.
Looking Ahead
The first half of 2024 has been a whirlwind, and we're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together as a community. Your feedback, support, and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind our progress, and we can't wait to show you what the rest of the year has in store.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of the Cross Impact journey. We're just getting started, and the best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
The Cross Impact Development Team
