The wait is almost over… Jump King Quest is hopping onto Early Access on February 12, 2025!

If you are willing to take the leap, or plunge, get a sneaky first-taste ahead of release with a special playtest starting 20:00 ECT on January 31, 2025.

Sign-ups are open just above the wishlist button on the Steampage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2317640/JUMP_KING_QUEST/



Building on the legacy of precision platforming, Jump King Quest introduces Tactical Jumping Combat Role-Playing mechanics never before seen, and an expanded world designed to frighten and excite with thrilling plight. The upcoming playtest will offer select players a sneak peek at the punishing yet somehow immensely rewarding gameplay ahead of the full Early Access.

“It’s been a hell of a grind, so it’s massive to finally be so close to release! We want to test the limits of our network system while also giving players a chance to experience Jump King Quest early with this test,” said Jing from Nexile. “This playtest is an exciting opportunity for fans to provide feedback which we may or may not ignore at our complete discretion as we continue to pursue our final vision for this horse-donger of a game.”

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare Jump King Quest for its daring leap into Early Access VERY soon on February 12, 2025!

We are pleased to announce our latest alpha demo build - version 0.4.3!

As we continue to develop Wildlands of Faenora, we're so thrilled about all of the feedback so far and we're weaving in improvements alongside our development plan as we build and build.

Here is a summary of the major changes in the latest update:

New Features:

• Customization: Customize your hero by clicking the Wardrobe button on the Squad Formation screen and find new cosmetics spread throughout the Wildlands. (Account required to unlock new cosmetics)
  
• New Item System: Completely revamped item systems with 20 item rankings and each item receiving a different rarity when obtained (common, rare – 10% stat bonus, epic – 20% stat bonus, legendary – 30% stat bonus).
  
• New Items: More than 80 new items to discover in the alpha demo!
  
• New Beasts: Seek out and challenge the Red Dragon, Gold Dragon, Blood Tiamat and Gold Tiamat, if you dare!
  
• Winter Wonderland: New battle backgrounds and holiday themed cosmetics (unlockable for a limited time)!

Other Changes:

• Bugfix galore, including a bug where the Dojo would soft lock the game.

The balancing in the current version might seem a bit off, because this doesn't include certain features that we are still building. One of the exciting new additions to come is an item permanence feature (so you can carry forward certain weapons and equipment from one playthrough to the next)! It is still possible to beat the demo for those who master the strategy and get your hero strong enough!

Thank you to everyone who has played the alpha demo so far! We have much more planned as we're leading up to our Early Access launch.

Please remember that this is an alpha demo of a game still in development, so you may encounter certain bugs and there are a number of missing features and unfulfilled ambitions. Thanks for your excitement and understanding! We're working on it!

Hope you enjoy these updates!

We've made some tweaks to improve your experience in JUMP! The floor is...:

- Easy Mode is now even easier! More checkpoints have been added, making it much simpler to complete levels.
- Coin Collection Update! Coins are now saved immediately when you collect them, rather than only at checkpoints. No more lost progress!
- And More! We’ve made other fixes and improvements, be sure to check the full patch notes for all the details!

Reminder: Easy Mode is for practice only! It doesn’t grant rewards, and trophies earned here won’t count toward your total.

Big Update Coming Soon! Stay tuned for exciting new content! 👀

Other Changes/FixPowerful Staff, Hidden Blade, Healing Helm, Shielding Hood, Shell Ring, Demon's Ring and Mystical Spear had a Surge Slowdown of 5 (rares) or 10 (epics and legendaries) which was not written in the description. This Surge Slowdown has been removed which means that all these items received a buff and that Surge overall got buffed. I will keep a close eye on these items and Surge for the next balance update.

The Race (Event):

• Option #2: 2x Tribal Necklace -> 2x Burn Orb
  
• Option #3: 2x Pendant of Power -> 2x Shock Orb

Reborn Pinnacle Challenge
The base difficulty of this challenge has been changed from Impossible to Flame Master.

Six years ago, NashBored came out.
It's a game about dreams, and a game about the fear in life.



After it came out, NashBored didn't receive any major updates, and so it sat there in its release state.

Until now!

I've decided to return to NashBored, to tune it up and get it running again. To make it more fun to play and to better match the initial vision of the game. This is a major update that changes a bunch of stuff within NashBored! I hope you will enjoy!


Graphical Overhaul
NashBored was showing it's age. It was time for a visual refresh!
Characters have better looking faces and art, tons of sprites have been remade, and prerendered graphics have been rerendered to look much prettier!
