  Patch 1.1 - Big QoL Update: Accurate Map, Impromptu Duel System and more

  Welcome dear jumpers to our 1.1 update!This is a QoL and improvement focused update which brings a few long-requested features to the game.Patch Highlights:Boss Reset - a new item similar to the Hog Caller which you can use to make bosses returnImpromptu Duel system - control how long you want non-arena fights against other players to be.Map location update - see your own and other players' positions on the map more accurately.Recently Played With - list of recent players with links to their Steam profileMouse Bindings - you can now bind inputs to the mouseVarious balancing adjustments and some missing audio addedAll the details of the new features and balance changes below!Impromptu DuelsAdded the "Impromptu Duel" (ID) system. This is our way of letting you choose how long you stay connected to players that you fight against (or that insist on fighting you) while jumping around in The Heights. This is displayed as an individual "round counter" for all strangers in the lobby which you can see in the online menu.By selecting your preferred amount of rounds in the settings, you will either disconnect after one "Impromptu Duel" (Someone getting knocked out once) or more depending on your and/or the host's setting. Your setting is decreased to match the host if you have it set higher than them while connecting as a stranger, and the system only applies to strangers (neither party members nor the host have a score). Our goal with this is to make the experience more enjoyable for players who would rather not fight (or who get blocked by another player who is too strong for them), while still keeping the spirit of the game alive and encouraging connections with strangers.Besides that, we wanted to make the pvp outside normal arena duels feel more fair and less like "bullying". Previously there would be no end to the knockouts, so a strong player could pursue a weaker player further down and keep knocking them down even further - but with this system the strong player can f...

  Jump King Quest is now available in Russian and Brazilian Portuguese!

  We are happy to announce that Jump King Quest has now been translated to the Russian and Brazilian Portuguese languages! This brings us up to 7 languages in total (including the source english)!We now have:🇬🇧 English🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese🇯🇵 Japanese🇰🇷 Korean🇵🇱 Polish🇷🇺 Russian🇧🇷 Brazilian PortugueseNormally, the game's language setting is synced to your Steam client's language. But you can also change the language for Jump King Quest specifically. So how do you change language for a specific game on Steam?Open your Steam LibraryRight click the game title and select Properties....Go to the Language tabSelect the language you wish to use from the drop-down menuIf the game supports the language you have selected, files for that language may need to be downloaded before you can play.Network Related Improvements:This is also an important patch for the online connectivity: We have migrated our hosting to a different service which Russian players should be able to connect to more reliably without extra tools. Additionally we have removed the server selection, opting for a single matchmaking server for all players. This should make it easier to connect to your friends, and since the connection is peer-to-peer during gameplay, and we still have a ping-filter, the feeling should be the same as before! This change can be reverted if needed, so please let us know about your experience!/Team Nexile
