Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across... | Eniko

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!'s posts Post Back to profile

Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.

get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏

@eniko The Kaizo levels are probably easy compared to choosing the right colours for your postcard, this is going to take me a while :Blobhaj_Thanks_Wow:

@hirnsushi maybe we should've given an achievement for completing the postcard customization 🤔

i have been informed that the linux version in a "default whisky bottle just works" on macOS

i'm gonna be real and admit i have no idea what that means, but hopefully this will be useful information for those of you wanting to play kitsune tails on mac

@efi @eniko If mac users use whisky to play on Steam, are there any factors that may somehow invalidate the play hours or reviews from counting towards the algorithm or whatever like a gifted purchase would...?

@Dreamship @eniko what the fuck? what? if someone plays a game they play the game
if they do it on wine/whisky the OS reported is still the host, not the emulated one

@efi @eniko I just wanted to make sure, I don't know how any of this works, I apologize for my ignorance.

@Dreamship @eniko well, thankfully steam is rather competent when it comes down to obtaining metrics and don't do any obtuse shit like that (which some other services do) so using linux, mac, or a toaster is fine as long as it uses the steam api correctly, which depends more on the game than what it's run on, honestly

@eniko Tiny bit of a practical question: On Linux, what do I get? Or perhaps more to the point, what does it need in place to run?

@mkj it's using monokickstart so everything it needs to run should already be bundled with the game

@eniko Congrats, this is huge! I'll definitely fire it up after work tonight.

Not to create more work for you, but on itch I've seen people have free copies for people who can't afford the game. Is that a thing you plan to do, and if so, can I donate some copies?

@eniko Congratulations! I'd buy it immediately but I'm wondering, what would be better for overall sales: that I buy the game right now to increase sales number (and perhaps Steam visibility?) or buy it full price after the discount? (my birthday is the day after the end of the discount, it'd be a nice gift for myself ^^)

@artean it is absolutely best to buy it right now and play it for a few hours (or leave it idle) and do a day 1 favorable review
