Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

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 store.steampowered.com/app/132 or itch 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? ๐Ÿ™

@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:

Picture of a Steam Deck, there's the Kitsune Tails menu on screen showing the options to customize the magic postcard (gets used for the save slot I presume). You can decide between different stamps, and change the stripe, paper, and stamp colours.

@hirnsushi maybe we should've given an achievement for completing the postcard customization ๐Ÿค”

@hirnsushi @eniko Hit that Randomize sucker a bunch of times and live the dangerous lifestyle.

Damon L. Wakes

@hirnsushi @eniko Oh, wow. I just started it and I think you're right.

Estel

@eniko looking forward to trying it out this weekend

Brooke Vibber :blobcatcoffee:

@eniko I've never mashed the buy button so fast before <3

Enbyeon

@eniko Do you know if it works on the Steam Deck? I only have access to that right now.

Eric Eggert

@eniko Technically youโ€™ve already taken my money ๐Ÿ˜‚

Kat the Leopardess

@eniko Bunrushing the digital counter and grabbing a copy for myself. This game seems like a great gift for queer gamers so I grabbed an extra copy.

Happy morning, Seg!

@eniko Super excited about the modding support you were posting about, my kid is on a big "I wanna make games" kick and loves platformers, we're getting this installed for him tonight

@eniko i may have jumped the gun ๐Ÿ˜น (this resolved right away, not a support request ha)

I'll pick the game up after I eat lunch later

@eniko@peoplemaking.games I love that as soon as I see this I get an email from steam telling me the game is out.

@eniko Congrats on the release! Hope it does great :3

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

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

I mean, if you drink enough alcoholโ€ฆ
Efi (nap pet) ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’ค

@eniko you know how linux has wine to emulate windows? well, mac has whisky to emulate windows

Efi (nap pet) ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’ค

@alexandria @eniko my brain broke, it emulates windows, not linux, obviously lmao

Sky Leite

@efi @eniko Which is just a wrapper for Wine :p

Dreamship

@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...?

Efi (nap pet) ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’ค

@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

Dreamship

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

Efi (nap pet) ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’ค

@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 | Kitsune Tails out now!

if you're wondering when/how to buy the game so help us as much as possible, i've answered that here: peoplemaking.games/@eniko/1128

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

we're on new & trending on steam's front page! thank all of you for getting us there!

JustAFrog

@eniko Top 10 would have been nice.

Top spot is OMGWTF territory.

It's okay to scream a little.

Kat Marchรกn ๐Ÿˆ

@eniko I'm neither particularly a fan of this type of game nor do I know when I'll have time to play it but the game still sounds amazing and I very much want to support it so I bought it anyway

Alex Holst

@eniko That's great news. I spammed it to every semi-gamer Signal contact I have. I wish you all the best!

Tom Larrow

@eniko it wasn't on the new page at all when I picked it up about an hour ago. That's awesome progress!

Congratulations on your release!

Dana Fried

@eniko beating out malware! (It's nice that they so clearly label the malware tho.)

mkj

@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?

#KitsuneTails #Linux

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

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

Jenniferplusplus

@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 | Kitsune Tails out now!

@jenniferplusplus yeah i think that would be a nice thing to do but not today >_> can you send me another message on the weekend? i'm getting so many notifications now this will surely get lost in the shuffle

Raph Levien

@eniko I bought it, and look forward to trying it, probably this weekend. Congrats on the launch!

Artรฉan

@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 ^^)

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

@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

Artรฉan

@eniko Will do! :blobfoxdealwithitfingerguns: Good thing it runs on Linux, it's the only computer I have with me right now. ^^

Jack C.

@eniko bought! I suck at platformers but I've enjoyed following the dev process so much of course I wanted to support all that work! I'm sure my wife will enjoy it as well, she's a better platformer ๐Ÿ˜

Running great on my laptop. Yippee for Linux native games!

@eniko

This looks enormously fun. If you ever partner with Ratalaika to get this on PS4/PS5, I'll hit that buy button so fast.

PsychicParrot (Jeff) ๐Ÿ˜ท

@eniko Congrats on the release! You did it! Yay! Hope it does really well ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Tyler Mullins

@eniko purchased! can't wait to play it later today

Old Man in the Shoe

@eniko The video looks amazing. This is the kind of game I could see myself actually playing.

Sean Patrick

@eniko Got it on Steam and I love it so far! Just left a review.

Hugo Devillers

@eniko you added slope sliding!!! this was my one gripe about the controls in the demo

FCLC

@eniko just bought a copy, looking forward to playing it this evening!

Kinky Kobolds

@eniko Bought the game! I'll probably stream it on Twitch after I have breakfast.

Kevin Lรณpez/KDDLB

@eniko I'm liking what I've played so far! Congrats :neocat_hug_fox_heart:

J M Berntson

@eniko I'm sliding down so many slopes! Gay foxgirl slippery slopes!

Question from curiosity, what game engine or technology was used to make the game?

@eniko

@eniko Immediately buying this, it looks so fun ๐Ÿ˜€

@eniko I watched Liv play this yesterday and it looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it out later!!
