24 Killers turned 1 yesterday! Artist Shu Bi from our discord helped update the store and library art for the occasion. Shu Bi posted some art in the Discord and I thought it captured the spirit of the game so well. Here are some of the new promo images~
I don't have any content updates planned right now, but I am active in sharing the game through social media and video content, keeping the Steam page looking sharp, and engaging with people in the Discord. I still have hope that a wider audience will discover 24 Killers, and I am grateful for you who have supported and enjoy the game.
Please let your friends know 24K will be 30% off during the Steam Spring Sale next week, and leave a Steam review if you haven't already!
Take care,
Todd
Art Roundup 3!
It's been far too long since the last art roundup. Seeing these really bring me joy and I wanted to share them with the whole 24Kommunity. If you see your art here and want me to link to a social media or portfolio, let me know in the comments. I'm happy to do that.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and love for 24K. I will try to do more of these!
I wanted to share a few words about goals and what I've been up to ~
Right now we're at 166 reviews (99% positive!). If you haven't already, please drop a few words for the game. It helps out a ton. My dream is getting that Overwhelmingly Positive rating with 500 reviews! I've been updating the Steam Page to better communicate the game to people browsing on Steam, and expect some new promo art there for 24K's birthday! I've also been making a ton of shorts on social media to get the word out. I feel like I've only scratched the surface of players that will enjoy 24K and I'm more motivated than ever to share it.
Have a great weekend,
Todd
Quick Fix!
The last update broke giving items to certain things, e.g. signatures in the birthday card and beacons on the tree. This small update fixes that.
Let me know if you have any issues!
Winter "Reunion" Update!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us at Happy Shabby Games!
This update features a new late game side quest that is started by using the new "Reunion" Blessing which replaces the "Good Zuko" Blessing. I wanted existing players who have already completed the game to have something to look forward to this season. I hope you all enjoy this peek into Johnny Puzzles lore, and love interest, Annie.
This build also features some fixes and changes, notably a scaling option to help players who want to enjoy the game fullscreen but are maybe using an ultra wide resolution. This used to cause the game to stretch, but you can now maintain the game's original aspect ratio while in fullscreen if you choose.
Thank you everyone for your continued support, and enjoy!
12272023 fixes: marked some specific things for garbage collection that might cause slowdown when collecting a ton of whispers. i hope this helps anyone having performance problems. if not, restarting the game should clear things up some menu options not displaying correctly in menu after changing language oven letting you cook any item
changes: "reunion" blessing replaces "good zuko" blessing. it now activates a new late game side quest frappe item added beacon item added added new scaling options for either stretching or maintaining the game's aspect ratio. useful for ultra wide res or getting rid of black borders for resolutions that aren't 16:9

Steam Community Items
Good afternoon!
Sorry for the delay on getting the community items uploaded. I've finished and uploaded all the badges and emotes, and 3 out of 6 trading cards are complete. I've been on a roll with making the cards, and plan to submit everything for Steam to review early next week. Just wanted to give you guys an update on that because a lot of you showed interest.
Thanks and have a great day,
Todd
v07152023 photosensitive menu text, too many whispers, bounce game tutorial txt
v07152023
fixes: when turning photosensitive mode off, "pixel smoothing" text was displayed for that option
changes: tabby and catiphus now repeat their challenge text when their event is active. you can interact with the starting line to skip their text and go directly to the minigame menu when whispers are shown going into your inventory, the amount displayed is now capped to the size of the game window. this is to prevent a crash from getting too many whispers
Small update. Hope you're all well. Thanks for the continued support. The summer sale went great and it's awesome to see a new wave of people enjoying the game.
In other news, people have expressed interest in 24K backgrounds for the steam profiles, and trading cards. I'll be working on those next so expect some cool goodies.
Take care everyone,
Todd
v06222023 Photosensitive Mode & BP Fix
v06222023
fixes: missing menu text in Portuguese for auto text speed
changes: added photosensitive mode to options that disables quick flashing, shaking, and other visually fatiguing elements. the list of changed elements is minimal right now, e.g. screen shake, flashing whisper multiplier, and screen sized white flashes. if you experience any discomfort or fatigue from a visual effect please let me know so i can add it to the list of things affected by this mode
Let me know if there are any issues with this build, and hope you all have a great weekend.

v05282023 Music Overlap & Pause Input!
v05282023
fixes: holding pause while transitioning map eating all future attempts to pause until app restart paused music cache doesn't get cleared when exiting to title from in-game. causes music overlap after reloading your game when pausing/unpausing
Thanks to everyone who helped provide info about the music overlap bug. I hope this was the root of all the music overlapping people were experiencing.
I got a report about the game running at half speed in 60fps mode, and there seems to be a memory leak that affects longer play sessions. The game is CPU heavy and not that optimized, so that's something I'll be chipping away at.
