Super Night Riders 2016
As planned, I've completed the Nintendo Switch port which passed certification ๐
Pre-orders starts on May 18th with a release on May 25th worldwide ๐
The game will be priced $4.99 + 10% discount during the launch period.
Mistakes were made
While working on this port, thought it was a good occasion to release it on more platforms.
So, I paid the entry fee of $100 to release it on the Epic Games Store.
Worked on it for a few days until... I realized the Unity plugin for Epic services is broken ๐ญ So this port is on hold for now ๐
Similarly, thought about an Android port with 3 monetization choices:
- Premium: One time IAP at full price.
- IAPs: Token packs, just like the real arcades back in the day ๐
- Free: Free tokens after watching a video ad.
Worked on this for a few days but had ton of graphical glitches and compatibility issues...
Forgot how fragmented and non standard Android devices were. On hold too ๐
Though, here's a shot on the Ayn Odin Pro. Don't mind the SEGA Nomad logos, these are just stickers ๐

Super Night Riders S1
I've finally published the teaser video ๐

A few screenshots from the current prototype...
... and a few more from a slightly older build but in 21:9 ratio - ultrawide.
Still working on the Anime opening. Here's a few backgrounds...
... and a couple character cuts with Alice ๐
Bonus
A couple 4K wallpapers from this Anime ๐

What's Next?
Next month, I'll focus on Super Night Riders S1 once more.
Currently considering a playable demo in June, and a release on Steam Early Access in July.
Wasn't able to work on Light Fairytale Episode 3 this month - sorry ๐
But now that Super Night Riders 2016 is finalized on Switch, I should have more time.
So, I'll try to remake the Hydropolis town, and implement a few cutscenes - including the mandatory 'bath scene' ๐
And that's it ๐
Thanks you so much for your support for all these years. On to the 8th year ๐
