@Escaflowne2001 Hi! We are working on the Xbox version, but unfortunately, it poses big technical challenges, so we cannot promise :(

Hi, I noticed your game Still Joking was recently released on the PS4. Any chance of an XB1/XBSX release in the future. It looks like an interesting VN with a nice art style. #XboxSeriesX @PurpleBrickGms

@eva_likes_stuff Hi! The Mac version is available from the start on Steam/Epic/GOG. We are working on console ports right now and hoping to release it before the end of the year

@PurpleBrickGms Hi, any news on the console and Mac ports?

When you crunch so hard that you forget to announce your release on Twitter 🤦‍♀️ #StillJoking is out on Steam: bit.ly/4dXEPsM Gog: bit.ly/3KgtRAL Epic: bit.ly/3V0mmTo

Patch #4 for #StillJoking is now live! We’ve added an “Extra QTE time” option to the settings: it gives you x300 more time to complete QTE. We continue working on the sound overhaul, adding new musical themes Steam: bit.ly/4dXEPsM Gog: bit.ly/3KgtRAL

Patch #3 for #StillJoking is now live! We’ve added a skip-read-text option and a rewind button to make multiple playthroughs easier. We’re working on a major audio update, which is taking up most of our time. Steam: bit.ly/4dXEPsM Gog: bit.ly/3KgtRAL

Still Joking from @PurpleBrickGms is "a fascinating choose-your-own adventure game that will play out differently for everyone who dives into this unique journey." @Lyssarie obviously liked this title & you can read her review to see if you will, too. thegamingoutsider.com/2024/06/05/sti…

@Lyssarie Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience. Your support means the world to us!

This was such an enthralling experience, and this game deserves far more love. 💜

@tracey_baker @A5piringrant No, as in most games in this genre, it is not voiced, and yes, it means it`s not the best fit for streaming

@PurpleBrickGms @A5piringrant Question still stands though. Is the "lots of text" casted? Because "lots of text" in an uncasted game, especially if one streams it, will be off putting.

"Still Joking" 📖 Interactive fiction / visual novel 🪞 World of mirror reflections 😈 Sarcastic main heroine 🔍 Mystery of her "prototype`s" death 📖 Lots of text 🔀 Choices with consequences 🐱 Fully voiced cat Release in May 2024, Wishlist on Steam: bit.ly/3V8Y9sF

@ZoeGold69 He is mostly just meows twitter.com/PurpleBrickGms…

@PurpleBrickGms does the fully voiced cat also traffic in sarcasm?

@camelyss We hope so if we will have a budget after the initial release ( there are ~400k words, so localization is not fast or cheap )

@PurpleBrickGms Your game looks so great ! Can we imagine a French translation in the future ? 🥺

@DoreenSoutar Our narrative/game design team only has two people

@PurpleBrickGms Excellent. In a team of how many?

@DoreenSoutar By two

@PurpleBrickGms Was the storyline written by a woman?

@A5piringrant No, it's not a typo 🐱 x.com/PurpleBrickGms…

@PurpleBrickGms Is that fully voiced cat or a typo for cast? i'm fine with either.

@HellasTheo Console versions (PS4/4, Xbox, and Switch) are in the works and will be released sometime after the PC release ( there is a lengthy approval process )

@PurpleBrickGms What about consoles?

With the last update, we added "achievements" to the demo of Still Joking, so it is easier to track your progress, understand what you missed, and plan your playthrough Also, from now on savegames from the demo will be compatible with a full game
