Jaded's full release is here! It's been many years in the making, and we're incredibly proud of the game we've made. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through Early Access, your feedback and encouragement has been instrumental to shaping our game into what it is today. Hope you enjoy your time with Jaded! Notes

• In regards to Jaded's future we'll be pushing patches out over the next couple of days to fix bugs and make minor adjustments. We don't yet have explicit plans for major content updates, but we'll certainly let you know if so.
• Currently, there is still partial controller support for this version of the game. It should be fully playable on PS4 controllers but support for Xbox or other controllers is not guaranteed. Full controller support is one of our main goals for the next patch.
• We're a super small team (we only have one primary programmer!), so it's easy for bugs to fall outside our radar. We'll work as fast as we can outside busy college schedules to fix issues that happen, and we appreciate your patience! Please report any bugs in the bug reports channel in our discord.
• We'd love to see you play the game, so if you make any kind of content feel free to @shellsnoregames on X/Twitter or post in our discord!

Hey everybody! Here are some decisions weve made in regards to pricing for Jaded. 1. Final Pricing: After talking it over, weve decided to sell Jaded for $9.99 on full release. Were incredibly proud of what weve built, and this price better reflects the effort weve poured into the game. 2. Good News for Current Players: Now that weve set up the Steam launch, we realized that if you already own the game now, you do not have to buy it again. The full release will be rolled out for free as an update. Because of this, the previously planned 5-day free period is no longer necessary. Jaded will launch at $9.99 from day one for new players. Jaded Beta Save Files Since the final game is different from the beta, your save progress will not carry over into the final release. However, weve made sure to keep the beta save file safe and separate! - Your beta save will not be overwritten or deleted. - Weve set up separate save locations for the beta and the full release, so you can continue enjoying the beta version if youd like. If youd like to revisit the beta after the full release, it will remain available for download on our itch.io page. We cant wait for you to experience the full gameits grown and evolved so much thanks to your incredible support and feedback. If you have any questions, reach out to us in our discord server! Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!

Hey everybody, really unfortunate news Jaded is likely not coming out in October. We crunched as hard as possible this summer to reach all deadlines, but as game developers tend to do, we greatly underestimated exactly how much was left. If we dropped everything else and focused solely on the game, it could be finished in late October, but itd release without much testing and zero marketing. Weve been working on this project for so long that we dont want to rush it out, and we hope you understand. Ok, so when is Jaded coming out? We are thinking early December, but arent dead set on announcing this as a certainty. We dont want to make promises we cant keep, but a release date announcement will happen at some point. As we said before, you will hear from us way more than you do now as we approach release. Heres some good news our master task list is getting surprisingly small. Heres whats left:

• 8 more music tracks
• 5 bosses need sound
• 3 cutscenes need sound
• UI sound
• NPCs (writing + drawing + implementing)
• Bugs (currently 75% through the list)
• Credits

Weve also noticed some confusion about our pricing changes, so lets clear that up: If you already own the game, you wont have to buy the game again the full release should come in like any other update. As mentioned previously, the game will be at a 100% discount for the first five days after release, and then will cost $4.99 from there on out. Last important note since the final game is different from the beta, save progress will not carry over into the final game. But dont worry your save file for the beta version of Jaded will not be overwritten or deleted. Weve created a separate save locations for the beta and final release. That way, if you wish to continue playing the beta version after we push out the full release, you can download it on our itch.io page.

Hey everybody! Thank you all for waiting so patiently while weve been working away at Jaded. Although we've been silent on here, weve been making a lot of progress!!! Were super excited to announce that we have a release month: October! The exact release date will be announced in the near future! In the meantime, join the discord at https://discord.gg/SF4Ev9ZKhF to keep an eye on any updates we post. Additionally, we'll be active on our social media pages (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok) so come follow us over there! Pricing Changes Weve declared in the past that Jaded would release completely free of charge. We still want to honor this, so the game will be free for the first five days upon release. This means you can get and keep the game for free if you get it in the first 5 days - so keep an eye out for more announcements! Still, weve poured a lot of our lives into making this project, so weve decided the game will cost $4.99 afterwards. Wrap-Up Wed like to keep new content under wraps so itll be a big surprise when the game finally comes out, but well be posting many more cryptic snippets! Heres one now:
Youll start hearing from us more and more as the date nears. We hope youre looking forward to it! See you all in October! ~ Connor and Kyle

Hey everyone! It's been a long time since the last patch. We've done a lot in terms of new content since the beta released but we decided to push out this patch to fix a couple of key issues with the game. Changes: - Fixed game-breaking UI overlapping bug - Added a healing animation - Fixed tutorial cutscene softlocks - Finalized the checkpoint system to avoid players missing checkpoints or menu sections missing buttons - Icicles fall properly if you hit them repeatedly - Fixed some minor issues with projectiles - Pushed a new saving system that should hopefully address corruption issues

This may be the last large patch for a while - cleaning up bits of issues here and there so that the game is as good as it can be! Changes: - Decreased target dash snapping angle for greater freedom of movement - Added attack buffer for more consistent attack inputs - Fixed lingering hitboxes after death - Fixed checkpoint button missing in ascent - Minor room changes to address people getting stuck - Made more changes to the saving system (hopefully helps with corruption issues) - Fixed return to map freezing game
