• 5 YEARS AGO A CHICKEN WAS BORN! - 6 February 2024

  HEY GUYS!!! Boy, it's been a long time since I have posted any updates or news about this game. First off though, Happy Anniversary to WHY CHICKEN? WHY? !!! This game was released on Steam 5 years ago to this day. Long story short, currently I am not able to update the game itself any further because I need to try and retrieve the file off my old PC that won't boot...lol. So the chicken will have to remain as it is for now. I hope to update it someday though. I did this project to mostly prove to myself I could finish and release a game, but wanted to make something fun & old school. Are there bugs? Probably...Should I have used consistent art & non-paid assets? Yep. ...Should my text fonts all been the same in the UI. For sure. Did I do any marketing? Not much....These are all failures I'm willing to take to learn & live my dream of game creation. Stay tuned for announcements on my upc…

• Any ideas for achievements? Did you buy or review the game? - 18 February 2019

  Hi, Just want you all to know I'm still updating most aspects of my game's social presence every day and plan do come up with some new achievements in the game soon. If you have any ideas for them I'd be happy to hear. So far I've determined I've made about 8+ or so sales. I'm not arguing, Pretty happy actually. :) Would just love to see some of those wishlisters pull the trigger and fall in love with Feathers. If you have bought the game I'd very much appreciate a review. It really helps me out in more ways than one. Anyways, just thought I'd post another update. I also have 10 free keys still I'd like to give out. So send me a Steam friend request and mention this post & I'd be happy to send you one for a fair review of my game after some decent playtime. Thanks everyone! My newest game/s are already in development. Soon to be shared. ;) J.R. Number77Studios

• Sale is almost over, new achievements on the way. - 12 February 2019

  Hello, Thanks for so many wishlist add's. *Currently 45+. There are a great many of those who haven't pulled the trigger and bought the game yet. In your own due time I'd greatly appreciate a purchase + review. Chicken on sale a bit longer and I'm working some new achievements for those completionists/hardcore players out there. Maybe new levels if I get some more support?...Thanks to all. #Feather4Life J.R. Number77Studios

• WHY CHICKEN? WHY? has released on Steam for Windows PC!!! - 7 February 2019

  Hello, After about 5 years or so of off and on development I'm releasing my first official game on Steam today (Why Chicken? Why?). This game is an homage to old school games I grew up playing in the 80's-90's. Only fellow solo developers might know the struggle that goes into creating a game yourself (no matter how big or small). Some games are even born out of mild to severe tragedy. I encourage you to give me a fair chance and play the game through a bit before you compare. All art and games are influenced by other games and this is my take or my vision in it's own way. Some games also write themselves a bit and I might have had less to do with this as I thought. I hope you think it's a fair price as the struggle I went through feels like more, though it always does. Please let me know of issues but keep it nice and clean. I am willing to work to make my game the best experience it c…
