Hey all,Today marks the release of The December Job, we are glad to be able to release this on steam and to also have it be seasonal was a plus.As you may or may not know, The December Job is our first release and also marks the start of our foray into game development. We hope you all enjoy the game and continue to follow and guide us for the future.Some insight into TDJThis game was more of a challenge for us here at Kooky Kontent rather than something we were building for release, We only started work on it in mid-November and we honestly expected it not to be be finished for Christmas, but, as you can see it appears we did. Although this was a challenge type game so is quite simple, we thought it was something we were happy to release (Also locked us in so we couldn't just stop it when bored ːsteammockingː) and we will be attempting to patch game-breaking issues if they crop up.Have a very Merry Christmas,The Kooky Kontent TeamRead full article on Community Announcements (24 Hour Music)
