I miss you aga
---

So wait is this the original enhanced

I never got a chance to play it I'll get on this

From what I can tell, it's the original!

The enhanced one was called Chester United, no clue where that is
---

Whoo I'm finally gonna play it.
---

I never heard of this one, only United.
Any differences?
---

Whoa, noticed that quickly!
Might miss the 20th depending on how a few things go, but should be out sometime soon.

This is the original XBLIG game with a few minor changes, Steam Cloud saves, and Trading Cards. Hoping to get around to redoing the UI and adding in Steam Achievements at some point if there is interest in them.


United is still being worked on to a lesser extent right now, hoping to have the new-new-new version of that showable sometime over the next month or two as well. That game has gone through a lot of versions.


And I miss this place too! Might need to try to hang around a bit more often.

omg

agy sex is back
---

no mac version

mean
---

This is a coincidence, just the other day I noticed Chester United in my Greenlight page and wondered what happened to it
---

Omg it's Aga
---

Sweet!

If I don't get it this week, I'll get it the next for sure.

What's up Aga? Haven't seen you in ages!

The meanest!
Mac and Linux versions might be coming soon depending on how porting it over to Monogame games. Should be possible, but I haven't looked at this code in years (or done much programming in general in that long) so it might take some doing.

Don't think I can get it. I remember the original having a glitch that stopped you from being able to 100% it, and it drove me wild.

Oh god, I was just thinking about that glitch while playing through earlier today.
So so sorry about that. I had placed the item (I think it was a ship piece?) in a way that it fell through the ground and vanished as soon as the level started. Unfortunately I could no longer patch it once I had found out about it. Whoopsies. I'll throw together a save file that has everything but that piece unlocked for ya!

Appreciated!
It is going good, decided to take a bit of a break from game dev to focus a little bit more on art for a while. Slowly working my way back towards gamedev little by little.

It has been ages! Good to still see a lot of the same names around here.
---

Sweet, never got around to playing it through that one site I'd never heard of.
---

Price?
---

Going with $2.99 for now. I figure it's quite a few years old and while fun it's not the most polished experience out there. Also hoping to get it in front of as many people as possible and hoping that that price point helps.

If I do get around to redoing the UI, adding achievements, and polishing up a few other things I may raise it to $4.99 if I feel like it warrants it.
---

Oh man, Aga sighting.~
---

Sweet stuff, I'll snap it up this week!
---

Well this was unexpected! How goes?
---

Nice!
---

Dang, nice! I can't wait to buy it again
---

I never got to play it before, sounds like it's time to fix that!
---

I'm pretty sure you gave it to me for free many years ago.

It was good. I'll buy it this time.
---

Woo, Aga and Chester!

I really enjoyed Chester and while I already have it on my computer I might go ahead and buy this version just to support you (and go for 100%).

Still really excited for Chester United whenever that comes out.

This. I didn't play it much then, but I'll be sure to buy and support ya!

Wow is this game seriously still XNA?
---

hey aga! it's been a while
---

Thanks a lot for all of the support!

Haaaah yeah. Can't even get XNA to install on my current laptop so need to work from an old machine on any updates for it. Kind of annoying, but hopefully porting it over to Mono should take care of that problem at least.

cool I summoned aga!

2.99 means 75 cents during the summer sale amirite


alternatively I can still take advantage of our blackmail agreement

75 cents? No way! Chester One is some top shelf game, we're talking like 99 cents. High rollers only, my friend.
---

Awesome!
---

What TomNook said.

It may still be the most fun I have had playing an indy game. Now that it is on Steam I plan on hyping it to some friends to get them to buy it to.
---

Thank you, that means a lot to hear it compared with a game like Braid.
Hoping that some of the things I'm working on for it now can help get it closer to that level of polish that some indie games have as well.

Finally have everything set up on my current laptop to actually work on it so should be able to crank out a few small updates fairly quickly. (And my god, I actually commented some of this old code! Haaaa, won't need to go completely insane jumping back into this.

First up is probably some simple UI adjustments, enemy/checkpoint placements, and possibly Achievements. Then maybe finally to Mac/Linux support.
---

Hype up
---

I'm so freaking excited about this because I've always wanted to play it.

2 days hype.

I never knew it existed, always knew the project as the incomplete United lol
I'm excited as well!
---

It's up!

If (haha, if) you find any bugs let me know!

Changes from the old PC/XBLIG
-Slightly improved UI
-Steam Cloud save support
-Some small changes to a few enemy types/placements
-Small adjustments to a few levels
-Higher quality audio
-Stamps drop a lot more often

Trading Cards should be up sometime over the next 2 days and after that I'll probably start diving into Achievements.
---

look out for floating windows, guys!
---

$2 bucks, too nice, waiting for a few items to sell on steam...then I'll be picking it up!
---

On the win level screen, you can still change chester/themes using the LB/RB/LT/RT on an xbox controller
---

Don't spend my two dollars all in one place

I'll leave a nice review as soon as I get around to playing it!
---

Woo, I will but this tonight.
---

@Ainoxi Great Pyramania: missing assets




---

Hmmm, yup that does appear to be missing everything. Just checked the map file and it seems fine, I've encountered this a few times and had to either load another level then come back to that one or restart the game completely. Need to hunt down whatever is doing that.

And you can post images and mention people now?! That's new.
---

Yep, its pretty cool.

EDIT: mentions, not the glitch. That glitch seems crazy.
---

Why don't the checkpoints work? @Ainoxi
Only though the first 3 or 4 levels.

They light up but after you die you go back to the beginning, at least I am in my game.
---

Are you playing on the hardest difficulty? If so they're disabled for that one, but I definitely need to make that more clear. Maybe I'll have them explode instead of ding.
Otherwise if you aren't on hardest that's a bug I'll need to try to take care of quickly.
---

let me check, the game did seem extremely hard
---

yes, sorry.
it was on the hardest of hard modes actually. I didn't even know there were difficulties.
When I was setting up my twitch stream I must have accidentally hit buttons and never knew it
my bad
---

No problem, thanks for letting me know anyways kind of slipped my mind to have the checkpoints not seem so checkpoint-y on D: mode.
---

bump
