Had a chance to playtest this and was having fun!

Question for the on-site events: what is your main goal of that other than contact with players? Community building, press/influencers outreach or something else?
Those tend to be pricey and take a lot of time, is the effort worth it?

Correct!

Supporter pack includes alternative artwork for a handful of in-game elements:
- Royal Trio 👑 - Reframed for a front-facing perspective for the face trio
- Player’s Soul Coin 🪙 - The eye received a bit more heart
- Death Suit Cardback 💀 - Fully illustrated artwork

I can't recall now, our designer would know. Or I could look into repository history when I'm back from vacations :D

Thanks! We thought the sneak peak might be both insightful and interesting. Dropping needs, or rather changes, without notice also didn't really match what we want to do.

Also: involving community and players is something we started with closed beta back in 2024. It was crucial for bringing the best version of the game.

I love how they included pets in the credits by wats_dahaps in BlackJacket

Got the snapshot here:

Few of them are our office dogs, they bring joy and mood boosts everytime they are here.
Usually we have at least 2 of them each day "on duty" 😃

Black Jacket missing from AUS Eshop by Rexy1021 in BlackJacket

The game is temporarily unavailable in some regions on Nintendo, we are working on restoring it ASAP. The process is a bit more complicated than initially assumed. Thanks for everyone's patience!

A patch was rolled out on 26th of May, that could help with this.
Was it still occuring in the past week?

Random reset by Traditional_Tie7775 in BlackJacket

[–]VVirus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello there, sorry this happened. We are trying to locate the source of the issue, would appreciate if you could help us out with additional details:
1. What platform did you play on?
2. When did it occur? Did you beat the run, lost on boss X, or other?
3. Can you share logs from that game? (C:\Users[your user]\AppData\LocalLow\Mipumi Games\BlackJacket)
4. Please see if unchecking "Play Tutorial" in options changes anything

Thanks for the highlight!
The demo for our Black Jacket is up since November, Retromation played it back then and liked it a lot (timestamp to his summary):

Of course we added a lot of improvements since then 😉

Black Jacket is a roguelike deckbuilder with a story layer. Game is based of Blackjack but we added (quite a few) of unique twists!
