Hi !

First of all we’d like to really thank all the people who played the game so far. We were not expecting such a positive response. We’re new to Game Jolt and seeing guys making YouTube videos about the game almost the day it was released came as a huge surprise to us.

So what exactly is this game you’ve been playing ?
It was actually made more than a year ago in May 2015, developed in 3 to 4 weeks on Game Maker Studio. It was designed to be a short 20-minute plateformer. We mostly made the game for ourselves. Patchouli and me (Picoid DX) are students in our final year of university. The game was not put online because of several crashes which I didn’t took time to debug until a few days ago.

Boneko is almost our first project and is actually made using the drag and drop feature of GMS, which looks like this mess :

Instead of being properly programmed with code, which looks like this organised and manageable mess (screen from EVA, a more recent project) :

So currently what you are playing in a quite buggy build, missing some key features like, you know, checkpoints and saving, is a small game we first intended to leave like that, maybe work on it again later for the fun of it.

But you made us reconsider. You seem to like the game, even despite its obvious flaws. So we are going to work on Boneko again, sooner than expected and with a renewed interest. We count on you to give us feedback :)

Thank you for playing,
See you soon.
