Hey folks!
After many years of development and a ton of work with a bunch of talented, dedicated, and absolutely wonderful people... The Game of Fourtune is out for release! You can now enjoy the full game, all the routes, and all the wonderful scenes, art, music, and experience that I've been working for so long on!
I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone that has been supporting me on this long journey. This is my first game, and probably a game that I definitely went way too hard on. I probably should've started with something smaller, but ambition is a hard thing to tame. But whether you've been supporting me on day one or you're just seeing this game for the first time, I appreciate you! And I hope that you come to enjoy this game to the fullest!
That said, I'd also want to take a moment to give a sincere thank you to everyone that's helped make this game a reality too! I'm going to list them out here.
Jeff Penny, an extremely talented and skilled musician that made all the music for The Game of Fourtune. If you haven't already, please check out his website and buy the album for The Game of Fourtune or if you want, you can buy a bundle of the soundtrack and the game together. You'll get to hear amazing mastered versions of the music in the game as well as a bonus track!
The background artists, Quandial and Yui for getting the unique backgrounds for this game! They both had amazing attention to detail and help the game setting come alive.
Yuuki Pudding for making all the expressive and beautiful sprites for the game. She really made the characters extremely pretty and I was never disappointed with the quality of work for the sprites.
Re: Alice For the amazing logo and base GUI for the game. This really helped set the tone and mood early in development for what I wanted the game to look.
All of my CG artists, Temteno. Sasha Ines, and UltraDynaMika helped bring various scenes to life in the game, from tender moments to some of the more brutal and violent scenes. I was extremely happy and in awe of all the art that they made for the game. I hope that you all enjoy the CG scenes that they've illustrated throughout the game.
KotoriMWorks for making the trailer and opening movie for The Game of Fourtune. It drew in eyes and made the opening for the game magical.
Khoaisama for helping with the flowchart and achievement icons! They made some extremely sleek and cool-looking elements that you'll get to see in the game.
Horrorbox, Roark, and CyberSe7en for proofreading, testing, and helping to make edits through the entire game... which was as lot. Let me tell you that without these people here, the game would be in an extremely unpolished state. I really have no words to express my gratitude that they happened to come in to help when they did.
I wouldn't be able to make this game as great as it is without them. And for that, I hope you'll give them as much thanks as they deserve, probably more.
Still, this isn't the end. I'll likely be doing some small fixes and updates to various issues over the next few weeks. Plus, I have some plans for some bonus content in the future that I'm very excited to share with you all, but for now I'll be happy to take a small break and simply enjoy the euphoria of finishing a game.
Until then,
Good Luck and Good Fortune
