Let me tell you a story my friend.
Made to help anyone to get a foot into the genre of adventure games, the game gradually introduces and explains new game mechanics, similar to many other adventure games.
Experience Jasper’s journey into the whispering forest, on the quest to find his missing sister Nora. In the deepest of shadows an ancient spirit is lurking but there’s hope shining from the horizon: The City of Lights.
Jasper is free to play, all content will be unlockable in-game, although it will take a little more involvement into the game than just playing Jasper’s main storyline. Purchasing of the chapters is encouraged to support the development, however please note that content and features will be added over time.
Jasper is in active development, on top of the Prologue there are 4 Chapters planned, telling Jasper’s story and introducing a world full of lore and mystery.
Jasper is currently being developed by just one person, completely independent from publishers or investors.
My name is Gordon, since 2020 I’ve dedicated my career to my Indie Games Studio „Rivers and Wine Studios“. Over the years many people have been part of Rivers and Wine, so Jasper is not the work of just one person, you can take a look at everyone who worked on the game or early versions of it at the end of this page.
With the basic feature-set finished, after being in development for multiple years, it’s time to get more feedback while I continue working on the story of Jasper.
One of the goals of Jasper is to be one of the most accessible games out there, and I need lots of feedback from players, and friends and family of players, to achieve that goal. I would love to reach people like my parents or even grandparents, who wouldn’t have been in touch with video games at all without me.
Also I want to fill Myr with life, and the best way is to seek inspiration from other people and see the world come to life piece by piece.
Try out Jasper and the City of Lights today!
The main platform for community-side development of Jasper right now is Steam.
Your feedback has great impact in the following areas:
- Any content in Myr that’s not part of Jasper’s main storyline can be greatly expanded by community ideas. That’s characters and their stories, places, lore or even mini-games.
- Your experiences regarding accessibility are valued and needed, if you can, please ask friends and family who are less experienced in gaming to try out Jasper and let me know how they handled it and which parts they liked or disliked.
You can help the development of Jasper by posting your feedback, issues, ideas, etc to the Community Hub Forums.
Updates to the game will be published in a cycle of 1-2 months.
Thank you to all who contributed!
Jasper and the City of Lights is going to remain in active development for a while.
As such there will be ongoing changes to the game credits. If you feel misrepresented, left out or have any other remark on the current credits, please reach out! Also, if you have a portfolio or website I can link to, please let me know.
