Previously….

And now, today.

RER refers to Run Elephant Run.

Hello everyone!  Dirty work out of the way first, version 1.09 of Elephant Quest is out!  Clear your cache on your browser to see the newest version.  This will resolve these issues:

• Umbrella quest fixed (no longer gives you another umbrella on reload)
• Trophy quest fixed (no longer hides your trophy, actually a problem attached to the umbrella quest)
• Map fixes for some browsers (some browsers have strange off-screen click rules, I need to investigate more)
• Elephant names hidden on loaded Save Game (saved game issue)
• Area 12 walls climbable
• Area 25 walls climbable
• Area 31 jumping challenges fixed
• Old gun trails removed on new area
• Area 42 ghost block patched

Some of these issues (specifically the first two) are not resolvable unless you do a NewGame+ or a New Game, since your save game has to be rewritten fresh for questlines.

If you find any more issues please feel free to list them, I really appreciate all the feedback I got on the last post.  I am still working on the strange “jumping into terrain” bug, I have no clue what it is but I’ll keep going at it (I can’t replicate it for the life of me… strange, strange bug).  I need to find a computer that is capable of it.

Okay, beyond that… better news is that Elephant Quest has today reached 500k plays!  It’s on the road to a quick million and I’m really happy about that.

And in other news….

Yes, Exit Path 2 is starting pre-production soon and I am starting to field beta testers right about now.  There’s a few issues I really want to nip in the butt on this version of Exit Path and I’ll need a good group of people to test this stuff.  You can sign up for beta now, and I’ll be picking a few good people to join the beta team for this project.  I can’t reveal too much about the game quite yet, but hopefully you’ll sign up and get to see the goodness sooner!

I’m actually working on another project as well at the moment.  It’s going to probably be the return of another animal friend (not Elephant this time!) and it will probably be a lot of shiny.

Enjoy your weekend!

Go play it!

Oh man, we’re getting close.

45 stages calibrated, over 12,000 tiles moved into place, 9 enemy types, and exactly 100 doors.  It’s a game that got way bigger than I ever expected yet still has a simple pick-up-and-play aspect.  It’s a shooter yet not, and an RPG with a knack for exploration… I’m not sure what it is but like most of my projects I think it somehow comes together an a strange way.

In recent tests it’s taken about 1 hour to beat the game with no knowledge of items and quest lines.  If you were rushing through the game as fast as you can I’m sure you can beat it in about 30 minutes or so but I’m guessing you should grab a drink and relax for a while… it’s quite a long game.

After seeing what Jimp (Artist) and I could accomplish on Corporation Inc, I really wanted to see what we could do together on another long-form game.  So far I am very excited, as Elephant has not had a chance to break out into any large games.  He’s been confined to the likes of Achievement collecting and obeying things.

The game’s got quite a simple story.  You’re off to go find Wooly, the purple wooly mammoth who has stolen your bowler cap.  In your quests you’ll have to travel through many stages fighting off many enemies.  You’ll meet friends along the way who’ll need your help for mundane tasks, but in the end they’ll help you fight the bitter fight!

I can’t wait to launch this game soon.  It’s been a crazy 7 straight weeks of development.
