I AM IN FULL-TIME DEVELOPMENT FOR ACT 3!! MORE PATCHES TO COME SOON!

UPDATE COMING TOMORROW....................

GET READY

Gamers,

I deeply apologize for the six month hiatus with no developments.

I am halfway into my first semester of college, when I was working on a Java project, I realized that I could integrate the knowledge I learned in school to create an even better final act of the Uncle Kenny franchise.

Give me some time, but from now on, I will be working on some stuff in the background to get the ball rolling on this project again.

If I was to picture a release date, Im shooting for around Christmas Break,
but it might take me into the first quarter of 2024.

Nonetheless, Uncle Kenny development is back, get ready

SOME SPECIFIC FIXES FOR SINGLEPLAYER MODE AFTER ADDING MULTIPLAYER

gang gang going undercover but am working on act 3 very slowly, soon ill be passionate about it again but itll take a couple weeks to get back into gear

LOCAL CO-OP CAN NOW BE ENABLED IN THE MAIN MENU!!

Although I havent implemented a Steam API to take advantage of streaming the game to another player to play co-op just yet, Im going to be looking into that in the future.

PATCH NOTES:
-LET A SECOND PLAYER JOIN THE UNCLE KENNY CAMPAIGN AT ANY POINT!!!
- Game breaking bug fixed when picking up the flamethrower on the same save file used to pick up the initial pistol in ACT 1.
- Pause screen now cuts to black and creates a menu letting the player know how to reset to the main menu.
- Some small quality of life ACT 2 fixes.

PATCH NOTES

-MAC VERSION FRIDAY, APRIL 21ST

Act 2-

- Entirely new levels, whole new section of the game.
- Some levels previously contained in the game files are now accessible by normal means and are far more polished
- Lots of new cutscenes that make up most of the file size
- Lots of new spooky music, the soundtrack is still coming soon!

Act 1-

- Changed the position of the shop sign to make it more visible to players
- Reworked every instance of the grapple hook to further optimize the game and reduce the chance of unfair missed connections with the grapple shot
- Optimized the climax of the act by destroying enemy instances upon falling out of the map, allowing the game to maintain performance indefinitely when sitting idle in the level
- In the same section, fixed the constant presence of the coin counter and its changing colors
- Same section, controller fix with swingshot where aim would reset to original position when not holding the aiming stick beforehand.
- Tinkered with weapon hitboxes and added the muzzle flash back to the pistol weapon

General Editions-

- Finally, I made an options menu. Right now it's pretty rudimentary but I'd be interested to hear any suggestions of options I can add. The menu includes a previously unheard track and allows players to fullscreen, and toggle sound effects and music on and off. Chosen options remain consistent upon reopening the game
- Game no longer has a non-borderless windowed option due to a nigh-unfixable engine bug where lighting would permanently disappear when minimizing the tab.
- Changed the main menu key to M so as to make returning to the menu on keyboard easier
- Made it clear that M returns to the main menu and F4 puts game in fullscreen, something that previously confused many players
- Performance fixes across the board
- Main Menu is altered, added a patch version number to the corner
- Extras Menu has some more fun graphics
- Exit button has a slightly more polished response to player action instead of just suddenly closing.
- When player has one heart left, game uses a tone sound and displays final heart to remind player that they need to heal or avoid taking damage

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU RUN INTO ANY ISSUES AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ASSIST YOU AND FIX THE BUG IN A PATCH!!

FRIDAY, APRIL 21ST
UNCLE KENNY ACT 2
PRICE INCREASE FROM 2 TO 3 DOLLARS

ACT 3 COMING THIS JULY

TRAILER COMING SOON

HELLO GAMERS

Today is a very special update on the development of the coming free update titled ACT 2.

First off, to clear any confusion-

Act 2 is a FREE update for anyone that currently owns Uncle Kenny The Game.
The general price for new players will be raised to $2.99 on the day of release. Similarly, this summer, when the final act releases, the price will be raised to a final $3.99.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS UPDATE?!?!

- The next chapter of the Uncle Kenny story, with a theme of horror partly inspired by Resident Evil 4 (2005) and the explorative sections or Resident Evil Village.

- THE FLAMETHROWER

- Some new surprises and familiar weapons.

- A lot of new platforming mechanics.

-A RELEASE OF UNCLE KENNY THE GAME ON MAC!

WHAT IS THE RELEASE DATE??

Originally, I had hoped to launch Act 2 on April 20th. As the day gets closer, I've realized that there is a lot of polish work left to complete, and I want to get this launch right so that I can start work on the final ACT 3 as soon as possible for a July release date.

So, my new and likely final release date has been moved to MAY 15TH The two month anniversary of the original launch. On that note, I'd also like to release Act 3 on July 15th, although I cant say for sure if that's plausible as I have a lot of work left to complete until I can say for sure.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR PLAYING UNCLE KENNY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE UPDATES AS THE MAY 15 RELEASE DATE COMES CLOSER!

GOALS ID LIKE TO REACH BY THE END OF THE SUMMER

-Steam Achievements
-1v1 Couch Co-op battle mode
-A more in depth hard mode difficulty
- A LAUNCH ON PLAYSTATION 5!!!

SOME FINAL CHANGES

This is a smaller hotfix, only a few minor changes.
- You can no longer soar to the sky with the shotgun using the number keys, Uncle Kenny cannot escape his simulation no matter how hard he tries.
- Optimized grapple hook section, removed over 1,700 instances and enhanced accuracy of the grapple shot, reducing the chance of unfair failed connections
- Slightly reduced the chance of Uncle Kenny talking in order to further prevent him from independent thinking
- Some minor soft lock fixes
- Reduced the random spread of the machine gun as a result of player feedback.

THIS IS LIKELY THE LAST PATCH UNTIL ACT 2. ENJOY!!

A NEW VERSION OF UNCLE KENNY IS NOW HERE!!

These past few days I have been working on Act 2, but there were still a few things that I went back and fixed on Act 1, including:

- Uncle Kenny can no longer escape his prison by walking to the left immediately following the start of a new level in the opening levels of the game.
- Inspired by the modern masterpiece Forespoken, Uncle Kenny now very occasionally speaks during gameplay and grunts when hurt by an enemy.
- Some behind the scenes tuning for Act 2
- Miscellaneous minor fixes.

A NOTE ON THE MAC VERSION OF UNCLE KENNY

As my subscription to Gamemaker is ending in a few days, this will likely be the last update of the game until when ACT 2 comes out.
AS A RESULT, THE MAC VERSION OF UNCLE KENNY HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL APRIL 20th

I hope to add in Steam achievements at some point as well, but Im currently having trouble implementing the Steam API into my project. I will update whenever new developments come.

GAME ON brothers, and you will see me again this April for ACT 2

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THE LAUNCH OF THE UNCLE KENNY GAME!!

In this first patch, there are:
-Some minor fixes
-Fixed a few areas that softlocked the game
-Slightly reduced the chance of a heart dropping from a crate following player feedback.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING THE UNCLE KENNY GAME!!!
I'm sure there will be more hotfixes in the coming days and weeks before ACT 2 launches this April!
