Hello everyone,
Jalopy has now released into Early Access! We are overwhelmed by the massive amount of support the community has given us, from preordering to offering suggestions and generally showing as much enthusiasm for the game as we have. Thankyou!
Now, Jalopy is at a stage where it is considered an Early Alpha, I feel we do have to stress that there will be bugs, there will be some features not fully implemented and that the game will continue to grow and improve over time. Choosing to purchase now allows us to continue improve the game and lets you get involved in the development process.
So if you’re not prepared for a few issues, we strongly recommend that you wait to buy the game until it reaches a stage that you wish to invest. Those who want to join us now to report bugs and get involved in the process we welcome you to Jalopy!
We have been spending a few weeks eliminating some rather nasty bugs, but we have also eliminated some humorous issues. I felt it would be interesting to actually share a couple of the interesting bugs that we eliminated over the past week.
Floating Uncle
So majestic, the uncle is a master of levitation. Or merely he has hijacked Wonder Woman’s invisible plane. Whatever the case, it was not working as intended and the uncle himself was fully aware of the bug!
Unlimited boxes
The trunk of the Laika 601 deluxe is used to transport goods which the player can sell. More often than not, decisions will need to be made regarding which goods to take on your journey. In one circumstance the boxes in the trunk would multiply up to 18 times, providing a wealth of items to sell, completely breaking the economy!

So that’s it, the game is out now, and we hope many of you will join us to help us make a great game over the coming months. If you have any questions, do get in touch with us in the forums if you have any questions.
