The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter Failed, Now What?

Article Down Below:


Hello! 

Thank you so much everyone for backing The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter Campaign!

As you all might have already been aware of, the campaign failed to reach its final goal, and that is going to majorly effect progress on the rest of the game.

To keep things brief, I’ve been listening to players and gathering feedback on The Twelve Slot Saloon Demo, and I’m aware the demo has a lot of issues that need to be fixed, and I don't feel confident I can make a fantastic game based off of my current demo’s framework, and this combined with the failure of the Kickstarter has lead me to the decision to reset progress of the game, and move it over to a newer game engine. 

Before restarting progress on The Twelve Slot Saloon, I personally need to take a break and therefore am putting The Twelve Slot Saloon on hiatus. 

During the hiatus, I intend on creating a smaller game so I can learn how to make better games, and hopefully make a profit so I can continue pursuing game development. 

If you are interested in testing the smaller game, consider joining The Twelve Slot Saloon Discord Server where I will be dropping public demos here in a couple of weeks! And I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Join The Discord Server!

The Twelve Slot Saloon Demo will still be playable for the time being, or at least until I get back to working on the game. There are plans to re-launch the Kickstarter for The Twelve Slot Saloon at a later time, so stay tuned!

Thank you all so much for supporting The Twelve Slot Saloon, and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

So I guess it's been a year since I was invited to GameJolt with a weirdly worded email I might talk about later XD Either way, It's been a decent place to post about my game, and I hope people are enjoying the content I post. (❁´◡`❁) #spawnday

Getting back into game development! Behold, Orphan Simulator! A testing ground for me to learn how to make games that don't suck. (Here's to hoping I can learn what I need to make good games!)

Just added a new Death Animation to my game's demo! I'm really proud of how it turned out, and hope everyone has fun playing with this new update! (Consider joining the discord server! It's great for playing and giving feedback) https://discord.gg/Uq6552cT2n

Working on more enemies for this game, and made Daisy a while ago. Do you think Daisy is too creepy? (I love her very much.)

WE JUST REACHED OVER 100 BACKERS ON KICKSTARTER!! The Twelve Slot Saloon is getting closer to it's funding goal everyday, thank you all so very much! I can't express how much this support truly means to me AAAAAAAA KICKSTARTER: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesyevon/the-twelve-slot-…

I finally got enough sprite art done for my game to start making this area.

I'm making all sorts of fun puzzles and challenges to help the player learn the basics of the game. #TwelveSlotSaloon

Happy Valentine's Day! With love from your favorite toaster- Toasta.

For this game I wanted to add an extra bit of challenge with dodging, so I added a meter that fills up every turn, and once it's full the enemy will perform a strong attack! I thought it was a good idea but what do you think?

One new thing I added to my game's demo in a recent update was new actions exclusive to Puppy! Future enemies will also have character exclusive actions, and I needed to build this system for that.

Just working in the garden. Picking fights with one too many flowers. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying progress on my game so far!!
