Howdy, world travelers! Hope youre having a happy June! Heres a quick update on the progress weve been making with Adventures of Chris.
It's Starting to All Come Together
Were getting remarkably close to being within sight of the goal line all 8 of the original world map levels are now completed. Chris can take a dive aboard a submarine to the Great Barrier Reef, dodge tricky laser patterns, and do battle with criminal mastermind Large Urchin.

The 9th level (and final tileset), Egypt, is well underway, with most graphic assets completed and the first several rooms constructed.

Once Egypt is complete, well just have a few incidentals and a few final boss characters to finish up! Fortunately, most of the story of the more linear second half of the game will take Chris back to established locations and revisit old friends (and give him new abilities weve already programmed!), so were getting really close!
The Icing on the Cake
Weve also added a few treats and side experiences for players as they reach the late game. Villagers have all new dialog now that Chris has won some respect (potentially :P). The Royal Cartographer in the castle offers a new, brief mini-game for Chris to play.
And if Chris heads to the Cirrus Club, he can now meet Kyle! Just for fun, weve placed a representation of the games artist (at 9 years old in 1995) in the Kingdom of Lost Balloons. So now you can see a little bit more of the behind-the-scenes of the game in the game!




Di,di...did we say Discord?
Marketing is coming along were working on setting up a Discord server for beta testing, and weve already been beefing up our
Twitter and
Facebook presence (you can help support us by following our accounts in either place!).
Weve got some other exciting ideas for getting the word out, so were looking forward to the next few months as we approach release.
If you havent yet, mosey on over to the
Steam page and wishlist us there!
