Hey!
I'm really happy to announce that GeckoShop 1 is currently being fully rewritten from scratch.
This time it's being rebuilt in C#, making the game much more performant, less prone to bugs, and easier to create mods for.
We've been able to restore most of the files and are already deep into development.
Side note: I'm not talking about the sequel, this will be an actual remake of the first GeckoShop. Both are separate projects, and both are now in development. The remake will not be a separate game, but will instead be released as a major update.
This will allow us to continue supporting the game and release new updates and content.
All known bugs from previous versions will be finally fixed, no more floors getting grabbed!
Existing savefiles should be compatible with the new version, this is our goal.
Owners of GeckoShop will still receive their Discount on the sequel through a "Complete-the-set Bundle".
We've seen the frustration expressed by many players in the reviews and Steam community discussions, and I understand how things may have looked from the outside.
We always had the best intentions for the community, and reading comments like those really hurts both us and GeckoShop's reputation going forward.
I was always very active on Discord, but from now on I will also be posting regular updates on Steam to keep y'all informed about how development is progressing.
A first playtest of the new version should be ready soon.
Thanks for sticking around!
