Happy holidays from the Clever Endeavour team! One of our friends has clearly gotten really into the holiday season...
We're off work now and starting back up beginning of January, working super hard to get the game ready in time! Looks like there might be some crunch time, but we'll get it done.
Wishing you the happiest holidays, the warmest socks, the most marshmallow-ey hot chocolates, and the least unpleasant Christmas music in your local stores.
That time of year has come again,
The end of the year, and that time when
We celebrate with friends and fam,
We're all quite festive, I know I am.
But this blog post, it's safe to say,
Is meant to inform in a helpful way.
We update you, with all our news,
Before the break, and the new year's snooze.
First off, I'll say, we've got our new STORE!
With shirts, and hats, and maybe soon more!
Go have a look, in the spirit of gifts,
And think of the friends and the family you've missed.
So what's been new in this game studio?
Some travel plans, away from the snow.
But what, you ask, of game content?
It's going well, and an update is sent.
To those Beta backers, and lucky folk,
Who have early access, and tell us they're stoked
As much as we, for this game to come out,
But there's more to be done, we can't ship without.
Like levels and blocks and characters too,
There's much to see, so much is new!
But we won't quite reveal, all the details yet,
A video in January is a safer bet.
And those travel plans, we mentioned before?
We'll be in San Antonio, San Francisco and more!
After PAX South, we'll head to GDC,
On the West Coast then back to the East
To head down to Boston, at a PAX again,
With Ultimate Chicken Horse released by then,
Our time to snag all the last press,
Who missed the launch or aren't yet obsessed.
And in the game, we've got new things,
The Iceberg level, and all that it brings,
With falling blocks of snow and ice,
And a moving iceberg, you need be precise.
And with that, my lovely friends,
This rhyming update shall come to an end.
Keep up to date by following us,
On Twitter, on Facebook, whatever, go nuts!

We've got news! Short update this time, but hey, who's judging?
If you're reading this, it means you're on our new website already! That kind of has to be the case since our entire old website content is now on this one... BUT it's still newsworthy!
Some of the cool things that are on the new site include the store, the Ultimate Chicken Horse page, and the new blog format (which you're seeing right now). We've got limited stock in the store, but should be receiving a new shipment soon! Check it out!
The store is set up through Squarespace and Stripe, making our payments secure and easy to use. Squarespace is also hosting the website now, and we (supposedly) have unlimited bandwidth. This means that when our game launches and we have 30,000,000 people on the site, we won't have any problems.
We've also been working on some new content, which we're going to sum up in a video that we'll make in January. We're working on new levels, new characters, we fixed up the scoring system and worked on the user interface for it, changed the way the "creative" mode works (the non-party mode, but it's still a party!), and are still working on online multiplayer.
Here's Kyler working on a new level, but we won't reveal too much info about it until we do our video. It's getting busy and definitely starting to heat up as we approach our launch date in February, so stay tuned!
