@DavidNielsen @stevestreza the community will probably make it playable on mac, but mac is so developer hostile that we can't officially support it, sorry

as for GOG, they're picky as hell, so probably not

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

@DavidNielsen @stevestreza someone added an entry to GoG's community wishlist for what it's worth: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/kitsune_tails
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

@DavidNielsen @stevestreza Wait, GOG picky? Really? What do you mean? I thought they picked almost everything considering their whole thing is being a shebang of old games XD

confirming the edit notification works from the instance I’m on, which is currently Pleroma backend and Soapbox frontend. :)

oh hey! i've had this wishlisted for a while now, and I'm looking forward yo it!
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

I didn't even know I wanted a gay furry weeb mario with fox girls, but now I do! I grew up with mario so this looks awesome! 🎮 🕹️
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

looks cool and I'm looking forward to it :)

Do you have a rough release date? 2024? Q1, Q2? 🦊 :progresspride_flag:​ No is okay too, I'm patient =^.^= Just curious.

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

looking forward to it!

Will there be an ahead-of-time Release Date announcement, or is it going to go from ‘coming soon’ to ‘it’s out!’ as soon as it’s ready?

(I think the former might be better for building hype/sales, but the latter sees it out sooner, so I don’t have a preference, just curious.)

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Boosting again from the new instance, because notifications from the old instance don't transfer over when migrating.
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

I checked the video, very well done, just pure curiosity how you do the voice acting ? Do you hire someone ? There's quite some quality in there !
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

oh, that's a clever usage of mastodon/activitypub's edit. i love this and now i can also know exactly when Kitsune Tails is out.
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

don’t think I need to do that to get the notification because I’ve done a bunch in other places to get notifications on Kitsune Tails - but I am anyways, just because others who follow me here deserve to see this and know about the game if they don’t already!

Kitsune Tails is looking so good. I really want to poke people towards it on Switch, if that’s ever possible.

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Platform games are REALLY not my strong suit. I will get #KitsuneTails for my eldest, though, as soon as it's released and I will enjoy watching them play.

in reply to Nina Milanov

@milanovnina if it helps, we're planning to add something to the game that will make it so anyone can play through it and enjoy the story
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Great! I've played Celeste with assist mode. Eldest sighs and laughs from time to time when I simply walk across spikes. :-D

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

already had it wishlisted on steam. Just watched some of the videos and it's looking to be a huge step up from Super Bernie World (and the Kitusune DLC) in every way imaginable.
in reply to Will

@waffle_iron oh yeah SBW was a lot more like SMB while Kitsune Zero is more of an SMB3/SMW mix
@Will
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

This game looks pretty great, but I do want to say that using the boost as a notification mechanism is a very smart idea!
in reply to Lunar 🛸 ♾

@lunarloony thanks! :D I saw someone who made a "remind me in 30 days" post using a single poll option and that made me realize I could use the edit system as an at-will notification system

@reina @DavidNielsen itch also has its own app that's really nice
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

How often do players need to hit some controls in a rapid succession in Kitsune Tails?

Is it closer to chill platformers, like Braid and Animal Well? Or to precision platformers, like Celeste and Super Meat Boy? (the extreme end of this spectrum is "I Wanna Be the Guy"/"I Wanna Be the Boshy")

I'm asking, because I just haven't played many platformers and haven't played Mario games since playing bootleg SMB on a NES knock-off in early 2000s.

in reply to andrybak

@andrybak @cutecycle it's kind of in between those, if i had to put it anywhere. the good part is that in kitsune tails there's a playstyle called "a leisurely stroll" where if you die you get instantly revived where you were on a temporary flying cloud. you can also use the shop to buy items and abuse those to get through any spots you're having issues with. we really tried to make the game challenging for veterans but still accessible for people who haven't played platformers in decades and who just wanted to experience the levels and story
in reply to 🌀bedient Leia

@Tourma we are gonna port to all major consoles but it is gonna take a bit of time, probably Q1 2025
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Okay! That's good to know. I've waited years on some crowdsourced stuff for the Switch port. ^_^

I am so much better at platformers with a controller. >.>

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Wooo! A release date for #KitsuneTails has dropped! Will make sure to buy on day 1 to help the rankings. I'm pumped! 😁
Unknown parent

@HopelessDemigod consoles are probably gonna be Q1 2025
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Given your recent posts about how Steam takes too large of a cut from indie developers, I suppose you would prefer if we bought it on Itch?
in reply to Simon Carpentier

@scarpentier we've got enough wishlists heading into release that momentum on steam probably matters more (to get to the point where steam actually starts showing the game to people)
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Are
You going to make a Linux version of the demo, after release? Then I’d test how it will run in a VM.
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Sure, and I might buy it even if I can’t run it, just to support you. But if I can check first with a demo, as I’ve never tried gaming in a VM, and it runs, then I’m not even going to think twice.
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Yes, should have mentioned, sorry. I was first thinking of running Linux on a flash drive on an old machine, but then I thought of the VM.

Anyway, I’m not in a rush, it was just a general question for the future.

in reply to Ölbaum

@oscherler we're not planning to have a demo beyond the steam next fest one that got taken down a while ago. Maintaining a demo is a *lot* of work. But I do know there's several people who are going to be trying to do community patches to get Kitsune Tails running on mac
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Insta-bought. Been eagerly awaiting this for a while now. Time to go play...

*shared it in her circles*

I don't have the money to spent at games at the moment, so keeping it on my wishlist

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

This game is *so cute*! I've just finished world 1 and I'm really enjoying it 😁
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

I got my copy :-). But I'll have to wait a bit until I can go beyond the intro, because we've got visitors 😠
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Heya! i think maybe you should make a new post for this as well as because i boosted the original and now i have to unboost it and then reboost it to boost it!
in reply to squibs

@squibbons is this one no good? https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/112887128927573802


Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.

get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏

i love the fox swimming animation! and the rolling flaming skulls!! so good
in reply to benbrown

I got trapped at the end of 1-4 when my glowing fox form crashed through the top layer of bricks that blocks the vertical exit and i had to reset the room because i couldn't break the bottom layer as a human
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Just installed it and absolutely loving it! Saphic mario bros is exactly what I needed right now. I also grew up playing platformers on coregrafx and I have delicious throwback moments with the esthetic combined with the buttery smooth gameplay ❤ PS: playing with steam proton on linux and a laptop, no issue whatsoever.

Yay!

@OctaviaConAmore not yet, but for now the ogg music files are in the Content folder shipped with the game?
in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

I've been putting off activating my new credit card (the first one with my real name on it) due to lack of spoons.

But I finally did it, so this would be the first purchase with it.

... Now to update 500 websites...

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

I noticed it on itch.io, and that was pretty darn exciting... thanks for that...
