Jasper’s story is from now on continuing to be told with your input!

Some of you, who are reading this, might have come across Jasper quite some time ago. Maybe we met on a games conference, maybe you heard about Jasper during the Indie Arena Booth Steam event in 2022.
Or hopefully you are just now stumbling upon this little game and are one of the people who are interested to join the community.

TL;DR:

To give a very short insight of the development journey of Jasper: Rivers and Wine as a studio was founded by the end of 2019. We started to work on our first project and hired fellow game devs and artists in 2020. Unfortunately 2020 turned out to be one of the worst years to start a company, let alone a games studio. We had many struggles over the years and ultimately had to take a couple steps back to catch our breath and refocus.

During all these struggles there was one goal that was never a question: To deliver the game we promised, the game that all the people who accompanied us grew to love but still had to be put into reality.

Jasper in its current state reflects the mood, pacing and overall quality we hope to achieve. From here on, development is going to be mainly about adding chapter after chapter and finishing Jasper’s story.
The parts that are released should be a pretty smooth experience, if not: Head over to our forums and let us know, it’s going to be fixed in no time!

Please note that part of the refocus of Rivers and Wine was going completely independent. That means we have only you, the players, as stakeholders to our games, but also that we now work with what limited resources we have. Right now marks the start of our transition from being a development only games studio, to a developing and self-publishing games studio. A lot of the stuff that’s part of the publishing side of games is only just now being established. That’s why for now the focus will be completely on the Steam Community Hub, where we will be very active! Don’t hesitate to ask or post anything that’s on your mind there!

I hope you enjoy our first view into the story of Jasper. There is a lot more to come! <3

Have an awesome weekend and let me know if you’re going to be on gamescom next week :)
