Kofi Quest in 2021 - A big update is underway

Hey there! 2020 was a tough year for everyone, but even with some hardships we’ve been able to make great progress in Kofi Quest. We want to mention some of the announcements we’ve made to our backers in Kickstarter over these months. We’re focusing our efforts in the Nintendo Switch version, but all upgrades and changes will apply to the PC version too.

We have a PUBLISHER to release in Nintendo Switch!

We want to let you all know that after several months of meetings and interviews, we’ve finally reached an agreement AND WE NOW HAVE A PUBLISHER that will take care of our game in Nintendo Switch. We’re really excited about it because it’s undoubtedly big news for the project.

The Nintendo Switch Port - What's new?

What’ll be new in the Nintendo Switch version:

• The new controller system, which greatly changes the game experience.

• New content that will only be playable after the Switch release.

• New languages

• Many improvements and fixes (including all Steam fixes /patches /updates)

The PC DEMO for the CONTROLLER system (backers only)

Over the past few months we’ve been hard at work improving the game to adapt it to Nintendo Switch, both in functionality and in performance. In December we published an exclusive demo for backers on Kickstarter that allows you to play with a controller to test our new system, going through some maps and allowing you to play with 7 different characters, as well as use some items and fight against enemies. Having released this demo is helping us to make the controller system even better (which will also be usable here on Steam when available).

Kofi Quest will be available with text in Chinese and Portuguese

Our game will include new languages, since they’ll be available since the launch of the Nintendo Switch version (at which point there will be a PC patch including the same new stuff). The game will include texts in Chinese and Portuguese. Unfortunately, we can’t include all the languages we’d like because our game is over 85,000 words, and due to that extensive script translating this content is hard work (and an elevated cost). But even so, we will continue to try to include texts in new text languages in the future.

The next Steam Update?

Right now it is difficult for us to continue uploading updates in the Steam version at the same time that we focus on the Switch version because there is a lot of risk of losing control.

So the game is launched on Switch we’ll release a big update on PC where you’ll get all the new stuff, such as the extra content, the controller support, new languages and many fixes and changes.

Best! ːsteamhappyː
