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!

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.

As of today I am now a Game Jolt Creator! How did I get here? -I don't know. How many orphans were sacrificed along the way? -Will not disclose. What does this all mean and what am I'm going to bring to the table? -More in the article.

Super proud of getting this to work- But using Save Data to solve puzzles in my game will probably forever be my favorite concept The Kickstarter is looking pretty grim with only 4 days remaining, but there's time!

48 hours remain for The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter! The Screaming Sands was honestly my favorite enemy in the entire game to build. Also they are the only enemy in the game you can tell "You will never be loved." KICKSTARTER: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesyevon/the-twelve-slot-…

Development on Orphan Simulator is still coming along nicely- I'm currently just ripping out systems I think could function better and taking breaks to cry All progress is backend stuff so I have nothing to show. Here's Jack's strong attack tho

The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter campaign has nearly reached 50% of it’s goal! To celebrate, we’ve posted two songs from the final game onto our YouTube channel!
