Hey everyone,

I'm working on a game called The Come Up.  It's a 3D platformer / action adventure / metroidvania type game.  I was hoping to take it to GDC this year and get some feedback on it, but I kind of scrapped those plans when I was diagnosed with cancer in December.  Since that time, I've had surgery to remove a tumor in my colon and I'm currently on the mend and going through chemotherapy.  In between my regular job teaching and chemo treatments I still work on the game.

I actually just uploaded a new version of the game here with a couple new levels, bug fixes, and other improvements.  I had been sending out the game to just those that joined the mailing list, but I opened it up again for everyone to download now through a #notGDC Reward tier.  I really appreciate itch.io helping out smaller developers and highlighting those not able to attend GDC and so I wanted to try and return the favor in some way, however small.  As a side note, I love the tools that itch.io provides and I love what you are doing with this site and how you are building it.

Thanks and if you check out the game I hope you enjoy it,

Rob
