UNCLE KENNY ACT 3 and the WILDLIFE UPDATE (Animals and Variety) HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO CHRISTMAS 2024 Uncle Kenny has been a passion project of mine since 2021. I made continuous progress on it through to 2023 At some point, I was discouraged to complete the game, but after my 18th birthday in February, I hunkered down and completed the first act and released it to Steam. Afterwards, I spent the next month straight doing nothing but completing Act 2, and in late April released that first expansion Over the following weeks I released local co-op mode, then went dark for an entire year. Yet, as my first year of college continued, I knew I had to come back, that it was more than time to return to the drawing board and get started on the conclusion of the largest passion project of my life. And on April 30th, 2024, I got back to work on Uncle Kenny The Game. It has been three months since that day, and I have been tirelessly tinkering at the elusive third act. But, my ideas continued ballooning. New level concepts, story ideas, improvements. I spent the first few weeks of May simply making editions and changes to the content already in the game. I pushed out maybe 5 or 6 updates in that time. The game felt much better to play, and was completely optimized and improved. Still, there was the beast that was the third act. It is not only the largest act in the game, but also probably twice as long as Acts 1 and 2 combined. This game, when completed, will be around 6 hours long. Act 3 is so much of this game's content that I cant even imagine the game without it anymore. There is only one issue - development time. I have been on this for three months, the most consistent time I've probably ever put into anything in my entire life. And it's barely 50 percent complete. I've added every gun, almost every upgrade in the skill tree, yet, the levels are just not all there yet. Another issue is rearing its head as well in the form of my third semester this August. I firmly believe that I will not be able to finish this project by the time I start school. If I had another 2 months with zero distractions, and nothing except for this game, I would probably be able to get it done. But I do not. Still, I promise this - the game will be out when it is ready, and it will be the complete version. I think that this game will be ready for Christmas 2024. But I have said so many release dates and failed to meet them, that I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed again. But let's hope for December 20th. That's a good date. As well, the promised Wildlife Update will be grouped in with Act 3, giving me and my girlfriend time to implement all of the assets and animations in a polished state. That update will bring new life to the entire experience of the game. As well, I am adding new levels to Act 1 and the game opening, but that will likely destroy any legacy save files, so be mindful of that before Act 3 releases this December, although I doubt it will be a large issue, as long as you've completed Act 2, Act 3 will still be unlocked even if your save file is no longer usable. I'm going to go radio silent after this until I am ready to release a trailer. Thank you all gamers, game on, and come back this Christmas for the final chapter, of the Uncle Kenny Game. When it's out, expect it to be 8 dollars. Thank you for your time! GAME ON!
