Hiya! It has been a wild past 5 months for us. Funi Raccoon Game was a bigger success than we ever could've dreamed, and we have you all to thank for it. We are so grateful that we can do what we love full time, and that it has resonated with so many people :)
Today, we are releasing the final content update for Funi Raccoon Game. It adds four new vehicles, a revamped petrol station level, a few new secrets ;), faster loading on initial startup, and lots of little bug fixes and level design tweaks. With the release of this update we are leaving the game in a complete and stable state, so many more people can enjoy it for years to come :)
If you want to learn more about the update, please check out this highly informative, glamorously produced trailer:
We're doing a Switch port! No specific date is decided yet, but it should be sometime this year. It will feature all the same content as today's final Steam release. This has been what we've busy with for the past couple months, and it has given us a far better understanding of Godot than we had before.
We are eager and excited to get to work on our next game, which, for now, is planned to be a full sequel to Funi Raccoon Game. We cannot currently give any specifics as to new features, levels, or release dates, as we have not even begun work on the damn thing, and do not want to promise too much so far ahead of time. We are absolutely overflowing with ideas for this project and are itching to get to work on it. It will be full steam ahead on this after the Switch release.
We have a Discord server! We will be regularly posting status updates on the Switch port, in-development clips of our next projects, and whatever else we feel like sharing there. We want to have a place to communicate info directly to people, instead of relying on a social media algorithm and praying that info is maybe shown to them. You can join the server through the link below.

It is hard not to get emotional as I write this. This game has been such an important part of both our lives for years now, and finally putting it to bed is a bittersweet feeling. There are no words I could write that accurately summarize how amazing, stressful, and surreal these years have been.
Thank you to everyone who bought the game, supported the kickstarter, shared it with your friends, or just laughed at it on instagram reels :) We hope whatever we do next brings you just as much joy.
See ya,
-Crayon & Kit
