Wellllll were a tad behind schedule. Weve had some technical difficulties here and there, but were still making progress.
This is an important thing we want you to know, so you dont think weve died or something.

Story Mode Status

Story Mode of Adventures of Chris is basically complete at this point, except for some finalized animations and endgame content. That content by the way, is wayyyyy too secret to tell you about now, but may or may not contain a secret boss character of some kind (hint: it does) and possibly gambling.
The final boss fight is implemented, the final story sequences are implemented, and even the part where the game says The End and kicks you back out to the title screen is implemented. So theres that.

So Much Excitement

I really wanted to have the full content of the basic Story Mode of the game ready to go when we launch beta testing, which is still a thing I intend to do. So get ready! Its coming soon! Im really excited about a lot of the stuff weve been working on - big bad boss fights, story content, and so forth. So much so, that were submitting Adventures of Chris to a number of indie game showcases. Well see how that goes as far as scheduling and such and will keep you posted on those events! While somewhat relating to the development of the game, we also wrote an article on the glories of Metroids Screw Attack and how tough it is to recreate that wondrous feeling in Adventures of Chris. Be sure to check it out here!
I think thats about all Ive got. So you can all stop worrying if Kyle and I fell down in the shower or drove into a ditch or something, because neither of those things happened. The game is still chugging along. For those of you still wanting more, the answer to your fulfillment is simple. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or even YouTube, where were now posting longer gameplay videos. Thanks for following our work! You people are the best. :)

THE GAME

Adventures of Chris is a story-driven adventure platformer heavily influenced by 90's cartoons. Explore 8 initial world locations in any order as you build your character from a weak kid into a plausible video game hero. Chris's floating mechanic allows for unique platforming challenges, and he can learn increasingly powerful spells and special moves as he travels the globe - as well as purchase upgrades from the merchants of the Kingdom of Lost Balloons. Explore a world like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon, fight ninja cats and cyborg penguins, uncover a sinister story, and prove your capabilities to a skeptical population - with laughs along the way!

THE STORY

One day in 1995, seven children around the world mysteriously vanish, including a nerdy, overweight 7th-grader named Chris. Finding himself in a remote part of Transylvania, he soon becomes lost in a Saturday morning cartoon universe of magic and villains. When one of those villains transforms him into a helium balloon as an insult, Chris (ever the optimist) reinterprets his transformation as the superpower of flight, and floats off to save the other kidnapped children.
