This Retro Platformer Is Sapphic Super Mario And I Can't Wait For Its Full Release

Kitsune Tails has a charming story but still has some issues to fix

@eniko congrats on your announcement as well!!!
@eniko Congrats on the release date! Can't wait to play! šŸŽ‰
@eniko LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO IM SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@eniko Looking forward to playing this! Good luck with the final stretch of the game's development!

@eniko yes hello can you move it back by 3 days because that's my birthday?

(kidding, of course, awesome that y'all are finally on the last stretch)

@eniko Ayo??? Release date? Yesss. 1 week before my birthday, too! Can't wait!
@eniko couldn't have waited 17 days for my birthday, huh?
@eniko Nice. Can't wait for the release 😃 . How much will it cost on Steam? Just asking because neither Steam nor the website mention a price yet.
@anopka yeah i think we put that info out there yesterday but im not sure anyone news source has picked it up? i'll have to check with the people who tell me what i can and can't say and get back to you with the price
@anopka finally got word that i can talk about this and it's gonna be 19.99 USD, not sure about other currencies but i think euros are also somewhere around there

@eniko It will probably be 19,99 EUR then.

At the current exchange rate it would actually be 18,68 EUR, but I think Steam will rather set it to 19,99 EUR instead.

@eniko Since you mentioned Linux: Should the demo work under Linux already as well? šŸ¤” Because when I tried two days ago, I couldn't get it to work. :( And yes, that includes trying multiple Proton variants.
@njamster it should work using proton. I know it runs on Steam Deck and others have run it on Linux
@eniko Mhm, will give it another try then on occasion. Thanks!

@njamster can confirm it working on Pop!_OS 22.04. Let me know what distro you're running and what the problem looks like, and I'm happy to see if I can reproduce it.

@eniko

@eniko the demo was neat, but that inertia isn't fun for me, the controls feel too heavy for my tastes 😩

also please please please separate confirm/cancel buttons from other actions for rebinding

@13xforever I mean, the inertia is how Mario platformers from that era play
@eniko heck yeah I’m so happy for you
@eniko When I saw it at the event I was so excited! Good luck with the development ✨
@eniko congrats, nice to see you finally have a release date! How long it has been on development? 2 years?
@winterwolves ........ preproduction started April 2020 😭
@eniko whoops :D anyways, I'm sure it will do well !
@eniko great news! I loved the demo, even if I died more than I expected :-p
