Hello everyone. I wanted to share an upcoming new game by Lake Feperd, the awesome game designer who also created Sonic Fan-Games such as Sonic Before the Sequel, Sonic After the Sequel, and Sonic Chrono Adventure. This one however, is his first original game, and is not a fan-game like his previous releases.
Lake Feperd also had not too long ago started a Kickstarter for it too. He raised like $9,162 to get this project of his going. The Kickstarter is over now, but at least he got more than plenty of backing with this too, which is good!
It's called "Spark The Electric Jester." Not much has been revealed yet about it, but from what has been shown, it will be a linear platformer similar to games such as Kirby, Sonic, Dynamite-Headdy, Pulseman, and Ristar. Lake Feperd mentioned that it is about a Jester-like character named Spark, who is out to save his city from the "AI Pet Computers," a series of commercially sold robots that have suddenly gone insane due to the work of an unknown threat hacking them, and Spark must find out who this threat is, while fighting his way through hordes of these crazed robots. The newer stuff shown also features that Spark will have a rival Robot named "Fark," and there's also this mysterious hooded foe of his named "Romalo."
The game is not yet finished, but Lake Feperd has released a demo, although he's changed a lot of things in it to make the game more awesome. He also has posted some gameplay videos of stuff finished so far for it, a couple of screenshots, and has even started a Tumblr Page to show the work progress and such for it.
Some of the new things from his last build, he's redone a ton of stuff in it, to make the game more unique and varied.
Now it has completely custom sound effects, awesome custom-made music, also new Elemental Power-Ups of greater variety (such as Fire Jester, Wind Jester, Gravity Jester, Ice Jester, etc) which modify his whole attack scheme. The Power-ups also have a sort of "Kirby" vibe to them, in that if Spark takes too much damage, the power-up gets dropped and he has to grab it before it disappears, though he doesn't get them from enemies, but rather from random pickups found about. Another neat feature is that Spark can also put his Power-Ups in stock, to switch in and out when needed too, though from the looks of things, he can only have one in use, and one in stock, at a time. There is also a new system where there's this bar that fills up as he collects coins. If you get the bar full, it works kinda like an Extra Life. Not only that, but Spark now has a sort of "Rage Ability" that if you use melee attacks on an enemy enough in a short amount of time and get it full, it allows for a stronger use of his Charged Blast attack, for a sort of risk but good yield ability.
Who knows what other neat features will be added when the game is completely finished? I am so excited.
Here's a link to the tumblr page, where you can see more about Spark The Electric Jester and what is finished for it. Be sure to check it for updates.

And here's some gameplay videos of what he has done so far for it.
I feel that this game is going to be really awesome from what has been shown so far in it. I have little doubt that this next project by Lake Feperd isn't going to be spectacular, for he has yet to disappoint.
