Patch Notes

News update - 20/04/2023

Hello jurors!

Just a quick note really to check in. I have not had to do as many updates recently, as most of the main defects have been fixed (many thanks to this wonderful community for reporting them!).

There are still a few that I am aware of, which will be fixed very soon.

So, what have I been up to? Well, I had a meeting with a development advisor on Monday who is helping me to reduce the overall size of the game. This is planned for this upcoming weekend, so hopefully that should make small updates a lot easier for you all!

I now have the Render Farm up and running - It's amazing! The access to that is going to seriously speed up my production (and reduce my electricity bill!).

I have also been working on trading cards, emoticons, badges, and backgrounds which will be available shortly! They must go through a Steam approval process before I can send them into the community, but please know - they are coming! I just have the final badges to finalize, and we're good to go!

I did some tests earlier on animated profile pictures – Quite do-able, I just need to improve the quality of them. See below for the test I did with Alice. In my opinion, a little too grainy and maybe not enough movement. What do you think?



I'm cracking through Episode 2 now! Really enjoying getting to work on some of these scenes that I planned so many months ago - Although some of them are proving to be a lot trickier than I anticipated! All good fun though!

Again, a huge thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of Jury, please feel free to swing by the Discord (Link on the website www.jury-avn.com - The link in-game on the home screen is one of the items I need to fix!). It's kinda quiet in there right now, but it's so nice to see people joining slowly and chat with me about Jury, about their own games, about anything really. It's a great way for me to get to know you all and find out your thoughts and predictions for the game!

I'll check back in at the weekend once I know more about the trading cards and the reduced install size! Have a great run into the weekend!
