Jock Studio Development Update #12

Fellow Olympians, we’re back with our promised January Development Update, the first of the new year! We ended 2024 with a bang, with the release of Jock Studio Demo 2 [BETA], and we hope that everyone has had an amazing time playing and experiencing this new demo for Jock Studio! Please read the full post below, as it contains updates and information for all fans of Jock Studio!

Jock Studio Demo 2.1 – Optimized Version

First up, while we’re so happy to see everyone enjoying Jock Studio Demo 2 [BETA], like we mentioned in our updates last year, one of our first goals this year was to provide an optimized demo, which we’ll be calling Jock Studio Demo 2.1! This optimized demo will contain bug fixes for many of the common issues that have been reported, and we’ll provide detailed patch notes on its release for everything that has changed!

Please be aware that, due to the various changes in Demo 2.1, old save files will need to be deleted and game data will be erased on the new version. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Bug fixes aren’t the only things in Demo 2.1 though – we have a couple of additional features being added too! Check out the details below:

Jock Studio Demo 1 & 2 – Together at last!

First up, a much-requested feature was to merge Jock Studio Demo 1 and Demo 2 together, and we’ve done exactly that! Demo 2.1 now contains all of the contents of Demo 1 as well, and when you start a new game, you can choose whether to play through Demo 1’s full contents, or go straight to Demo 2.1!

Not only that, but Demo 1’s images have all been added to the gallery, and should unlock for your viewing pleasure! Try and collect all the currently available scene images and comic images, Olympians!

New Animated Scenes

Finally, we had originally planned to include animations for the Filming Scenarios at the end of Demo 2, but unfortunately, we ran out of time prior to our Beta release. We are happy to announce that, as of Demo 2.1, all six character’s Filming Scenarios will be animated and added to the game!

Demo 2.1 Wrap-up

That’s all for Demo 2.1 updates, but we hope that everyone enjoys a much smoother experience, as well as these new features! We don’t have an exact release date for Demo 2.1 at this time, but please stay tuned for more details very soon!

Finally, we know that many people have been requesting an Android version of Demo 2. At this time, our team is still researching Android development, and will inform everyone if it becomes available. Please bear with us as we continue this development process!

Superbacker Character Designs – Sprite Poses!

Next up, while most of our team has been working on Demo 2.1, we’ve also had our art team working with our superbackers to provide designs for their character’s in-game sprites! Check them out below:

There’s lots more to see for Rowan, Ash and Tyler, and we’ll continue working with our superbackers to bring these characters to life, but we hope that everyone enjoys this development sneak-peek of their sprites!
