The Twelve Slot Saloon Demo will still be playable for the time being, or at least until I get back to working on the game. There are plans to re-launch the Kickstarter for The Twelve Slot Saloon at a later time, so stay tuned!

During the hiatus, I intend on creating a smaller game so I can learn how to make better games, and hopefully make a profit so I can continue pursuing game development.

And this combined with the failure of the Kickstarter has lead me to the decision to reset progress on the game, and move it over to a newer game engine.

Before restarting progress, I need to take a break and therefore am putting The Twelve Slot Saloon on hiatus.

To keep things brief, Iโ€™ve been listening to players and gathering feedback on The Twelve Slot Saloon demo, and Iโ€™m aware the demo has a lot of issues that need to be fixed, and I don't feel confident I can make a fantastic game based off of my current demoโ€™s framework-

Hello!
Thank you so much everyone for backing The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter campaign!

As you all might have already been aware of, the campaign failed to reach its final goal, and that is going to majorly effect progress on the rest of the game.

The Twelve Slot Saloon Kickstarter failed to reach it's final goal in time.

Refunds are underway, and a more detailed response about the game and it's future is currently in the works.

Thank you all so much for your support ๐Ÿค

The Screaming Sands was honestly my favorite enemy in the entire game to build.

Also they are the only enemy in the game you can tell "You will never be loved."

Super proud of getting this to work-

But using Save Data to solve puzzles in my game will probably forever be my favorite concept I've created!

The Kickstarter is looking pretty grim with only 4 days remaining, but there's time!

Admittedly, it's really hard to get multiplayer footage for trailers due to trying to get all four players to cooperate.

You would think this would lead to super silly situations but no... it's just them looking dumb...

During your playthrough of #thetwelveslotsaloon demo, did you happen to find this cutscene?

I haven't seen very many players mention it, so it might be rare.

Something dumb I added to my game's demo.

Text Flavor.
It's always been in the game, I just didn't have a button to change the styles before.

The funny thing is how drastically different battles look with it.

One new thing I added to my game's demo in a recent update was new actions exclusive to the character Puppy!๐Ÿถ

Future enemies will also have character exclusive actions, and I needed to build this system for that.
