Full Quiet - A New Adventure Game for the NES & PC

Digital Version on Steam
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 09, 2023 at 08:55:16 AM

The final step of this long process is finally here. We've ported the game to Steam and it's ready to go. As soon as we get our requested batch of keys (should just be a day or two), we'll get your key sent to you via the email address on file. We're using special Release State Override keys which will allow you to play the game before it actually releases in July. 

The game is currently working on Steam Deck but our borders are not resizing properly, so if you play on there just turn the borders off. Hopefully we can get that figured out soon but we didn't want to delay things further just for cosmetic stuff.

We're also going to be releasing the game on Switch and Xbox but unfortunately we don't have a way to swap Steam keys for Xbox or Switch codes or offer discounts. Additionally, we'll be porting the game to PlayStation as well but that's going to take a little longer because we've yet to publish on that platform. If you play on any modern platform you'll notice that the button configuration is mapped to modern controllers allowing you to utilize different buttons for things like diving, reloading, crouching, toggling weapons, etc... You can also fully remap the controls in-game however you'd like. It's definitely not old school but it feels pretty good to play the game in a more modern way :)

We're going to be announcing the game's official release today. This whole process would not have been possible without your support and patience while we worked through the development and publishing process!! I'll likely do one more update once everything has been finalized but in general, this is that last update on the game's progress.

So thank you all so much for everything over the last few years! Our team is extremely grateful for the chance to create games we love for the NES and beyond.  

Shipping (cont'd) and Digital Porting
over 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 23, 2022 at 12:30:32 AM

A little holiday update here. 

Shipping: We've shipped several waves thus far, totaling 341 Kickstarter physical orders. That takes care of all the orders that we can ship out from Kickstarter at this point! If you have not received your order yet (or at least an email with your tracking number) then that means you haven't completed your survey or some other info is missing from your account, so we can't ship your order yet. If this is you, please DM me and we'll figure out what's up. 

Fortunately we have a very nice postal worker, she deserves a bonus :)

Digital Porting: Additionally, while we have downtime between receiving more boards, assembly and shipping, we've begun the porting process. We have not finalized anything yet, be we plan to release the game on at least a couple platforms, including this one here:

Even though we've got it running on the dev kit, we've got a lot of work still ahead of us in order to pull this off. And we'll definitely be releasing on Steam as well so that we can fulfill those rewards. Speaking of which, a few people have asked about Steam keys not being included with their shipment... We will email Steam keys to all backers as soon as we have the build running properly on there and have access to keys; they will not be included with physical reward shipments.

Hope everyone has great holiday fun this year! We'll post another update as soon as we have more info about a proper release of the game.

Boards and Assembly and Shipping
over 1 year ago – Thu, Nov 24, 2022 at 09:05:38 AM

Quick update here to let you know that boards are rolling in from INL and assembly is under way! We're receiving them in batches of 100-150 so we're going to assemble and ship as we go rather than waiting until everything is assembled and then shipping all at once. It might be a little trickier overall but it'll get them into your hands sooner. 

Starting next week, our plan is to begin shipping to Kickstarter backers based on your reward tier until all orders are fulfilled, then move on to Backerkit backers. If you added-on an item through Backerkit, we'll ship everything together based on your initial Kickstarter reward tier. For example, if you initially backed at the Full Quite CIB tier and then added an additional cartridge-only through Backerkit, your items will ship with the Full Quiet CIB tier. This whole process is going to take several weeks to get through everything but we're finally, finally there. I cannot thank you all enough for your very considerate patience and overall positivity with the project!   

Time To Choose Your Cartridge Color!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 02:59:20 PM

With the help of the Backerkit staff we've got everything set up to allow you to select your cartridge color. Chose between Classic Gray, Radio Green, or upgrade to the Limited Edition with Silver Cartridge and LE box art. Note that the Radio Green version glows in the dark as a little added bonus ;)

You should have a new email from them in your inbox. If not, follow this link: https://fullquiet.backerkit.com/

IMPORTANT: Even if you previously chose the LE upgrade, you must re-select it now! You will only be charged once for the $10 LE upgrade, which is only available to backers. In order to keep the data straight we had to remove the previous upgrade option and combine the LE upgrade with the CIB option as an add-on. Apologies for the confusion but this is how the nice folks at Backerkit recommended we handle this. 

If you have any questions or want anything clarified please shoot me a message and I'll get back to you right away. 

Surveys (has your address changed?), Swag Bag Items and PCB Update
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 03, 2022 at 08:52:33 PM

Surveys (update your info) - Please check your inboxes for an email from Backerkit with a new survey question, follow the link so you can update your address and/or payment info. Apparently we cannot just send new surveys to replace the original ones, so instead we've updated Backerkit with new imagery of the Swag Bag items and added a new question about them to the project. This allowed us to push that new question out to all backers where you'll have the option to update any of your info. The most important details being addresses and payment info that may have changed over the duration of the project. 

You can also follow this link if that email doesn't work: https://fullquiet.backerkit.com/backer/survey

PCBs - I wanted to wait until we had the boards in hand to post this update but INL needs a little more time. They've got production rolling now so it's just a matter of finishing enough to fulfill backer orders. With the updated timeline we should be assembling by the end of the month. Please update addresses ASAP though so that we can lock Backerkit orders.

Swag Bag - Here's a few images of the shirt, sticker and pins for those who included the swag bag in their order. Instead of doing one pin we decided to do a 4-pin set.
