Early Access!

Hi everyone!

I’m pleased to announce that Boll’s Journey is ready for Early Access! The game currently features 3 scenes…:

• Serene Gardens

• Desolate Exurbs

• Abandoned Highway

I feel confident about the current state of the game and am ready to release it in Early Access. The next few scenes (Silent Forest and Majestic Mountain) are in the pipeline and will likely be released in the coming weeks, with the Silent Forest being the first one. If everything goes according to plan, I should be able to then drop major updates (new scenes) at least once a month, although I hope to be able to drop updates every 2 weeks.

Some notes when it comes to this Early Access release:

• Sounds are currently non-existent, I spent most time building the world and the story for now.

• Some mechanics may still be subject to change, depending on player feedback. For me personally, it is playable, it is working, it is annoying where it has to be (Duds for example)

• The current playable time is over 2 hours. This is my own playthrough, your playthrough may be longer depending on how fast you pick up on the mechanics. In the coming weeks and months the aim is to make this playthrough a lot longer.

  • There are five Powerups that can be used scattered across these scenes.

  • There are several different enemies and obstacles to keep Boll from moving

  • The story up to the Highway scene is finished.

  • There currently is only one achievement in the game, but more are planned to be added in the coming weeks/months

• Bugs and lags were taken out as much as possible while playing on my 5 year old laptop. The game runs smoothly on my 5-year-old laptop, so performance should be solid on most systems

The ending so far is a bit abrupt, but this is because there is a lot more content planned which will be added as months pass. The main goal of going for this Early Access release is to get player feedback on current mechanics, so if you would like to get involved in the making of this game, be sure to do so by sending your thoughts, remarks, suggestions, etc to contact@jephinca.studio.
