Hello, I'm still here! I recently left my job at Ubisoft Montreal and am in the process of moving country - I fly out next week, so expect something once I have moved and settled. I am genuinely sorry for the lack of updates, but I promise I have been working on the game. In fact it's getting quite a bit bigger than I planned... https://vine.co/v/en2jJIpKuX7
Last thing I was doing was going through and polishing up what already existed whilst making way for the new menu... I'll be showing updates to the levels soon
Hey everyone, I thought I'd stop by and let you know how progress is going on Jack B. Nimble version 4.0.0.0... Completed 6/8 characters 5/8 levels All unlockable colour schemes Updated intro 3/8 songs Fixed various minor bugs In Progress The mid game boss The remaining characters The remaining levels The remaining music A bunch of secrets Fixing various audio bugs Still to do Final boss Achievements More secrets! Find and fix bugs On top of all that I'm also interested in your feedback. Are there any features or areas you would like me to focus on for the next update? Let me know! A bunch of the bug fixes I've been doing have really improved the feel of the game; I can't wait for you to all play it
Tiny update... Completed 7/8 characters Character roster should be done by the end of the weekend. Expect some footage up here around then My main focus has been on development of the new menu; making a global options screen, achievements and adding progression to the game. I'll put together a GIF or something Also worth noting, my composer will be another week or two, but expect a bunch of new music in the next update!
It always feels like Christmas when post here. There's always something awesome to anticipate. Jack B. Nimble's always going to be one of my favorite iOS games and I too can't wait for this update!
A little progress as promised... I just need to fix a couple of animations before I can show some of the new additions to the cast list.
Tiny update to respond to some feedback... updated the Game Center button: https://vine.co/v/ejBwDziOEvE
I just picked this up and I'm not really impressed. I know that a big update is coming but is there anything to unlock in this version? I got bored pretty quickly.
The version with progression and unlocks is in progress. Shouldn't be too long - moving country slowed the progress a little and I'm still waiting for my dev machine to be shipped back from Canada. It raises a question, would people prefer a smaller update sooner but without bosses or prefer a larger and more complete update later? Not sure what flexibility I have right now, but I thought I'd throw the question out there.
Larger, more complete update later. Also, disappointed coolpepper isn't enjoying this. JBN's much like Canabalt. Just flawless endless running with no bullshit bells and whistles. And that music. That frickin' music that keeps me coming back.
Oh and here are two quick little videos I made earlier while I was testing some performance stuff... https://vine.co/v/eIx7de7Y9gr https://vine.co/v/eIxMglWLAEi
