changedToday marks one year since Kiopioke was released and I have some news to share!Kiopioke kept creeping into my thoughts, though. Recently I had a gameplay idea that I thought could work in Kiopioke, so I began exploring it. For the past few weeks I have been experimenting with the idea and creating the mechanics. Now the core mechanics are complete and I am happy to report that it feels great!

addedI am pleased to announce that new free content is coming to Kiopioke!The new content will focus on a new mechanic and will feature new levels, a new playable character, and a new adventure. You can expect it to be about the size of 2 zones.

changedI am pleased to announce that new free content is coming to Kiopioke!I am currently in the "level design" phase of development. Once the levels are done there are graphics, music, sound effects, packaging, testing; the list is long but I want this development to be a quick as possible. It definitely won't take as long as the original release. I will update as I can and I can't wait for playtesting!

Since release I have been supporting the game with bug fixes and working on a lot of different game prototypes including Playconomy, Dream Shot, and one other unannounced game.

Dream shot is a multiplayer golf game that is inspired by Kirby's Dream Course. You can even build your own courses!

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has supported the game (and the music!). I am thankful for your feedback. I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Keep in touch! I do smaller updates on Bluesky and I will be sure to post more updates here on Steam soon!

Until then, here's a cute character.
