- Who would have known that spiders would need fast travel 🤷 - 27 June 2023
We are so excited to announce this MAJOR UPDATE. Democracy has spoken and spiders of the modern world want fast travel. No more excuses to be late for tomorrow morning brunch with the spidey bunch. Fast travel is now available after getting the Prosthesis of Truth 2 (King Jolius, the third item from the right). It is also now possible to assign different colors to each of Joshua's legs in the option menu. Happy travels!

- After a year and a half of development, Joshua's Legs is ready for its release! - 17 January 2023
There are so many stories to tell about this journey but I realised after 2 years in this project that what I like the most is development and programming. I had literally zero online presence before this game so I'm quite out of touch with posting those stories. Maybe in the process after the release, I'll learn to share some of it. So for the release, I'll stay true to myself and keep this short and let the game speak for itself! Joshua's Legs will be officially released on January 18th 2023! Watch the trailer to get a look at the curious world and novel mechanics of this new game where speed, finesse and precision will reward you with mysterious secrets.
- Map update and main menu bug fix - 4 January 2023
This patch adds a new background to the map and a shortcut key to open the map directly. Additionally, some signs were added throughout the game to help players decide where to go next. A bunch of bugs were also fixed.
- Map performance improvement and a new ending for the credits! - 13 December 2022
This update focus on improving the map performance. This was done by creating a new renderer for the map and hiding some objects that were not supposed to be rendered in the map such as particles, ropes, lights, etc. The credits were previously found in Joshua's room but it is now part of a new twist that adds some content and easter eggs in the game. Cheers!

- Joshua's new meal plan - 18 August 2022
Joshua's legs dev team has been hard at work trying to find ways to motivate Joshua to finish finding his legs and not quit while being short a few just because it's "too hard" as pointed out by the community (thank you for your feedback you all ❤). In comes, dragonflies! These dragonflies are full of protein, worth a ton as currency, and are looking pretty "fly" if you know what we mean. How they work: As you make your way through the game, you'll find some dragonflies hiding in every nook and cranny. You'll be able to exchange these dragonflies at the Cloning Centers, sponsored by FlyFarms co., to enable checkpoints located at the start of harder sections so you don't have to start from scratch every time you fall.... which you will... especially you Yeet 😉 Much love. Be careful though! There are only a limited number of dragonflies and you'll have to carefully choose which sections…

- A new look for the map and some levels! - 12 July 2022
In order to make the map discovery easier, a new look for the map was designed. It now differentiates more clearly the areas not explored yet. https://i.imgur.com/CyzK3N3.png The first area you reach while completing the linear progression has been updated with a new look as well. The visuals for the next levels will probably build up from that and on the resulting feedback. https://i.imgur.com/bp9LpRi.png

- A first iteration for the interactive map system!! - 15 June 2022
Welcome to a new technological era, where you don't have to remember the directions. This version now feature a fully functional interactive map. No more getting lost. You now have some hints where to find optional and secret areas as they will appear as black clouded areas.
- Interactive map system on the way - 7 June 2022
After many discussions with friends and testers, we came to the realisation that an interactive map system is necessary. One of the goal of the Early Access is to find the right balance between difficulty and fun, and the absence of an interactive map system seems to tip off the balance too much toward difficulty. The new map system will show the player position and clearly differentiates the areas already visited. It will work in a similar manner as the map of Ori and the Blind Forest. It should take a few weeks of development as some level designs might have to be changed to make sense in an interactive map. I will keep you updated!
