addedyo ! sup funky friends? Hope y’all have been having a great start to the new year. We are getting very close to the One Year Anniversary of the release of ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove ! We hope we’ve been able to deliver a jammin’ experience that everyone was happy with in 2019.
addedThe game has just been released in Japan and the reception so far has been great ! The Japanese language option is patched into all versions of the game, so if you prefer to get your funk delivered in another language, download the recent patch and select your preferred language from the main menu. Along with enabling Japanese language the new update comes with some small fixes, a brand new hidden Easter Egg and an increased framerate for the PlayStation version! More on that in a bit.
addedWe have a special announcement that we would like to share with y'all. Over the past 10 years co-creator of ToeJam & Earl, Greg Johnson , has been working on a new card game that he is finally ready to unveil to the world! Well.. it’s not really a “ game ”, but there are definitely cards involved, we can promise you that.
addedWe’d like to introduce our two new homies that will essentially be the stars of this new project. We aren’t exactly sure what to name them yet . Do you have any ideas? Let us know what you think!
addedWe are considering Kickstarting this new card game, so for more info please make sure you are receiving our future Kickstarter updates and be sure to follow us on any of our social media accounts where we will be revealing more information on Greg’s new card project in the future !
addedBuild 1.6.0J ========================== Enabled Japanese language Jam Out Easter Egg (Press A+B on player picker screen. Use your D-Pad to jam out. Press start to exit jam out) [ Steam only for now ] Framerate performance enhancement [ PS4 only for now ] Updated Credits Spring Shoes stop near elevator instead of inside Amped Present Freeze can't be paused in Elevator ( prevents softlock )

Well back to the main funk boys ToeJam & Earl. Here are the patch notes for the recent update:

Build 1.6.0J ========================== Enabled Japanese language Jam Out Easter Egg (Press A+B on player picker screen. Use your D-Pad to jam out. Press start to exit jam out) [Steam only for now] Framerate performance enhancement [PS4 only for now] Updated Credits Spring Shoes stop near elevator instead of inside Amped Present Freeze can't be paused in Elevator (prevents softlock)

This update is now live on all versions of the game, except Xbox where we are still working on releasing the game in Japan. The Jam Out Easter Egg is only in the Steam version, and is just a small sample of what we wanna do with this feature. (Please feel free to give us feedback!) The framerate performance enhancement is live on the PlayStation 4 version of the game, we will try to bring these enhancements to the other console versions of the game in the future.

What do you think of this update and our two new homies? Feel free to drop us a line in the comments or email us at support@humanaturestudios.com.

As always, thanks for all your support and we look forward to updating you next month as we get closer to the One Year Anniversary of ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove!

Stay funky, HumaNature Studios Team
