changedThe Clown's Forest was a project I originally had no faith in. I never intended it to be a commercial product, or for anyone to play it other than myself and a few friends. However that all changed when I released this game on steam. I am blown away by all of the support I've been given since I've started development on this game back in March 2022.
changedI released the game on July 19th 2022 as a one-off title. Never intending this to be a flagship series for my studio. But this series holds a dear place inside my heart. Nevertheless; I have remained committed to providing updates to this game over the past few years. On December 23rd 2022 I released an overhaul for the game to prepare for the eventual release of The Clown's Forest 2: Waking Shadows. After that I opted to get voice acting into the game as well.
changedSo today I can confirm that this will be the last update to The Clown's Forest. (If any game breaking issues or major bugs appear, I will patch them out.) And for what you have all been waiting for, I will now give you the changelog of The Clown's Forest's final update.
addedAdded - New Achievement related to the Intro
changedChanged - Game Resolution from 1200 x 720 to 1920 x 1080
changedChanged - Exterior Map sizes; increasing their size due to increased game resolution.
- Game Resolution from 1200 x7201920- Game Resolution from 1200 x increased, buff

Flash forwards to 2025 where I managed to update the game with a mini overhaul for a second time, to prepare for the upcoming Overhaul of TCF2 (Coming 2026). From me being a solo dev, to having a small team of committed individuals aiding me on this journey, has just been a wild ride.

So today I can confirm that this will be the last update to The Clown's Forest. (If any game breaking issues or major bugs appear, I will patch them out.) And for what you have all been waiting for, I will now give you the changelog of The Clown's Forest's final update.
