Today marks one year since Kiopioke was released and I have some news to share!
Since release I have been supporting the game with bug fixes and working on a lot of different game prototypes including Playconomy, Dream Shot, and one other unannounced game.
Dream shot is a multiplayer golf game that is inspired by Kirby's Dream Course. You can even build your own courses!
Kiopioke kept creeping into my thoughts, though. Recently I had a gameplay idea that I thought could work in Kiopioke, so I began exploring it. For the past few weeks I have been experimenting with the idea and creating the mechanics. Now the core mechanics are complete and I am happy to report that it feels great!
I think it has a place in Kiopioke sooooo,
I am pleased to announce that new free content is coming to Kiopioke!
The new content will focus on a new mechanic and will feature new levels, a new playable character, and a new adventure. You can expect it to be about the size of 2 zones.
I am currently in the "level design" phase of development. Once the levels are done there are graphics, music, sound effects, packaging, testing; the list is long but I want this development to be a quick as possible. It definitely won't take as long as the original release. I will update as I can and I can't wait for playtesting!
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has supported the game (and the music!). I am thankful for your feedback. I hope you are enjoying your summer.
Keep in touch! I do smaller updates on Bluesky and I will be sure to post more updates here on Steam soon!
Until then, here's a cute character.
