Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game is 2 WEEKS OLD!
Hey all!
Wow, two weeks (and change) have already passed, and it's been a pretty wild ride! I wanna take a moment to thank everyone who has picked up a copy of Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game thus far, and a double thanks to all of you who have left a review! Once again, your feedback is welcome and has identified many things for us to fix up. We're really happy about the positive reception to the game, with us finally getting a "Positive" rating here on Steam!
I'm really happy to be have seen messages from folks who have enjoyed the gameplay and story so far, it really warms my heart after a great many years of work. Not saying you have to send more, but I have appreciated all the messages!
With that, let's talk about...
FEATURES ROADMAP
I want to be transparent with you all about what's being worked on currently. This game is coded up by one person (me) so I appreciate your patience as I handle each of these things one by one:
Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One ports
Playstation 5 crash bug deep dive (it's a nasty one)
Playstation 4 port
Remappable controls (all systems)
Language select menu
Autosaving
FIXES SO FAR
Thanks to all of your input, we've been able to implement the following changes and fixes:
Added more save locations (More than double!)
Options menu in the Main Menu
Reduced enemy spawn frequency
Fixed various NPC and cutscene display issues in later parts of the game
Added "Press to Sprint" option to the Options menu. Now you don't have to hold down the sprint button if you don't want to.
Added "Win Button" option to the Options menu. We heard you about it being on by default, so we moved it away.
Memory optimizations
Placed missing collisions
Notoriety meter display cleanups in various menus
Overall game stability is MUCH better
Feel free to make suggestions as you see fit in the Steam Forums, I check it regularly.
