A Message to new Players

Hello Players or Potential buyers, Kavel continues to find new players even though there is not so much evidence of this in the community section for the game. I'm grateful for every new player and I hope you have a great time with Kavel. Thank you. As you may have figured, Kavel is not under constant active development because 1. The economic justification for that is difficult and 2. I consider the game to be finished and well-functioning. At least for the game modes that are there. I do have other gamemodes in development but I don't know if they will ever see the light of day. So, please know that the game is in good shape if you're considering to purchase. I think it's presented quite clearly what you can expect and I think it does it well. So if that appeals to you please don't hesitate to give it a try! Cheers, Jerry

Kavel Release Celebratory Dev Stream

Kavel is out - you can go buy it right now. How cool is that right!? If you want to do that and share in the joy of this moment then hop into the stream and see me play my own game. Ask me a question, get some tips and probably watch me fail to beat my own highscore. See you there.

Kavel is coming April 15

I've created a new trailer and new screenshots for the store page. I'm happy with how the game looks now. I've made new builds with all the latest features and tweaks for both PC and macOS. I wasn't completely sure I would release on macOS but things seem to work well. The colors also really pop on the retina screen, so that's nice to see. For these two weeks before release I'll be doing final testing and hopefully everything will be tip top for launch. The release date has been voted on in a Twitter poll to be April 15. I trust the collective knowledge of the internet so that's the date it will be. Mark your calendars. See you then.

Progress towards Release

To make Kavel all it can be on PC and MAC, a lot of extra work and design has been done.

Settings menu changes
New background effects to take advantage of the big screens
Ultrawide monitor support
Custom Highscore UI
Save system changes
Many, many small improvements

Now that all this work has been done or is near completion I'm working on giving the Steam store page a bit of an upgrade. Getting everything ready for a successful launch. Not to speak of a new game mode that's still in development. So, I'm not confident enough to announce a real release date quite yet. For that I want to 100% know I can release at that date. I am however very close to that point. It's coming. If you're reading this because you've wishlisted the game - Thanks! Cheers, Jerry
