Hey everyone! Allow me to introduce myself; I’m Nerd Puffle! I’m the other Head Developer at CPJ. I’m mostly responsible for developing catalogs, rooms (both for Parties and polishing up our Evergreen rooms), updating our Igloo Store, adding in new items, and more!
Recently, we teased over on Twitter (and in one of our previous blog posts) that Card-Jitsu Fire is coming to CPJ! I wanted to share with you all the current progress of our internal testing of Card-Jitsu Fire as well as to help give a bit of a roadmap of upcoming content from us so you can get an idea what we’re cooking up for the next few months.
Card-Jitsu Fire Status:
Currently, we’re still undergoing testing of Card-Jitsu Fire to ensure that gameplay is as smooth and close to the original experience you all remember. A handful of pesky bugs and crashes have come up during testing (specifically during 3 and 4-player matches) but we’re making progress on that. We are (possibly) looking into creating a sort of “gameplay trailer” to show off how the game looks in its current state and what you can expect to see upon release.
Upcoming Content:
Here’s a quick preview into the next coming events we have scheduled for CPJ! Keep in mind, dates are still undecided but once we are comfortable with the state of Card-Jitsu Fire and are ready to start prepping for launch, we will let you know! When I originally wrote my first draft of this post, I had a whole snippet regarding the upcoming Fire Scavenger Hunt, but seeing as that’s now out, no need! All it would have mentioned was the upcoming double Card-Jitsu XP multiplier. (but we teased that during some Developer Broadcasts before we released the Scavenger Hunt!)
- Card-Jitsu Fire Party: After the conclusion of the Fire Scavenger Hunt, we will go directly into the Card-Jitsu Fire party. After the party concludes, Card-Jitsu Fire will remain permanently available in the Hideout and double XP for normal Card-Jitsu will be reverted to its default values.
- The Fair: The Fair will be returning as well! We want to take a new kind of approach with it, so stay tuned for more in that regards! Maybe we’ll post some sneaky spoilers, or send out a totally non-suspicious-unrelated-prize poll in our Discord. Who knows??
- Halloween and Club Penguin’s 20th Anniversary: With Halloween and Club Penguin’s anniversary falling close to each other, there’s a chance of some overlap! We’ll share more on how we plan to celebrate both parties once the dates get closer.
I know this was a decent amount to read, but I do hope this helps provide insight as to what we’ve been working on over the past month or so. I look forward to sharing more with you once we get further along with Card-Jitsu Fire!
Thanks for reading,
Nerd Puffle
