• Where Did JKR Go?: Explainations, Updates, & Good News! - 22 July 2026

  Hi! Sooo about that "Awkward Silence" thing 😅I wish I could say that I've just been incredibly busy working on the game this whole year, but that's not entirely true. Life is hard, and mental health stuff is a struggle.BUT! GOOD NEWSI feel I am genuinely getting back into the swing of working on the game again, without it feeling like a chore or feeling hard to get started. This month alone, I've made a lot of progress on implementing new features for once we start developing the full Campaign, AND the outline for the whole story is done! Now it's about writing all the scripts and figuring out the nitty-gritty details of it all. And depending on if I manage to keep up this momentum, we could be looking at a 2027 Early Access release 👀👀👀In the embedded video, I talk more about all of the above, as well as showcasing a little of what I've managed to work on! Thanks for the patience, a…

• Just Keep Running in 2026: New Team, New Plans, Less Awkward Silence - 30 December 2025

  Hello! It’s Vic, the creator of Just Keep Running.You might be wondering where the hell I’ve been this whole year. I kinda wonder that too sometimes, honestly.To keep it brief: this year has been very different from how I wanted it to go. It ultimately had its ups, with streaming and charity work going well, and its downs, with education and mental health playing a big role. But there was little to no time or motivation for me to work on JKR for most of this year.And honestly? That sucked. It felt wrong.I love this game, I love the potential in its gameplay and story, and I have so many ideas for not only where it can go, but what I want it to be. And currently, it’s a bit different from that vision.So what’s the plan?Well… get to work on implementing that vision! And I’m not gonna be doing it alone.One thing I’ve realized concretely this year is that, unless I’m in my zone, I suck at b…

• V. 2.6.0 - The “Homecoming” Update 🏡🚗💨 - 1 March 2025

  WE FOUND THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE! Jokes aside, thank you so much for the wait! I’ve been busy rewriting the story of JKR and that’s gonna keep me busy for a while, but we’re back to actively working on the game, and this small lil update is proof! :D Key Changes COLOR ADJUSTMENT You can adjust certain game colors in the Settings menu. This one has been on my Trello for… uhh, I dunno actually. Let me check real qui– Uh. Awkward. …well, it’s here now! The “Colorblind Correction” filters we had before weren’t all that useful (it was made especially clear when Accessibility specialist Ian Hamilton called us on it). It’s more for detecting contrast issues rather than actually HELPING with perceiving color info. These filters have now been completely stripped from the game. Instead, in the Accessibility settings, you can just simply adjust the colors of gameplay elements to your liking! This is…

• 🧑‍🍳Back in The Kitchen: New Update, and Charity! - 28 February 2025

  It. Has. Been. WAAAAAY. Too. Long. I did mention that life had become a bit busy, but I’m starting to figure it out, and getting accustomed to making time for working on stuff. I’ve also found a new love for streaming! Let me break some stuff down into 3 bullet points. The focus for this year is on JKR. I have hopes of working more on T-1000 eventually, perhaps even getting a demo out by the end of this year (🤞🤞🤞)! But right now, even juggling between two projects is a bit too much for a university student. A lot of the delay comes from rewriting. After getting my stuff together, I realized I wasn’t too happy with parts of the game's story. The last quarter of 2024 was mostly spent figuring out in my mind what I wanted the story of JKR to be. This is just to show that I haven’t been (completely) lazy this year, and these are from last week I started outlining the story in February th…

  Yo yo yo! 😀 We’ve had a productive June, and we’re coming at you with many QoL features and changes.

We do this by, for example, informing the cause of death and properly warning players when time is running out!

This is especially useful for Controller players who can’t turn around quickly enough for certain levels. Full Changelog - 2024-07-12 ADDED Qui…

Thanks to this rework, yoo now also have Pro Tips in the loading menu! So if you’re waiting for something to load for a while, you can also get some tips while you’re at it. 1-1 CHANGES Stage 1 Showcase Speedrunners, take note! We’ve had to swap the location of the Cube Button in Stage 1 of 1-1 to prevent players from potentially softlocking themselves pretty easily. This might m…

• V. 2.3.0 - 🤫Stealth, 🛠️Tweaks and 🤓Geeks - 5 May 2024

  FINALLY, SOME JKR UPDATES! 🥳🎉 We’re starting to add Stealth mechanics, QoL changes, and tweaks to levels to make it easier for the baby birds dipping their feet into the game! 😀 Soon enough we’ll be getting back in the Writer’s Room to start working on Chapter 3 and, perhaps, maybe even Chapter 4… 😉 (also yes, the title is a reference to Freaks and Geeks 🤓) Key Changes HIDING “Hiding” Feature Showcase We’re working on some new features for players who prefer to play more stealthily. One of the features you’ll notice in 2.3.0 includes Hiding spots! These give you the ability to hide behind and/or under certain furniture without getting spotted by Roof Turrets and/or Security Guards (so long as you haven’t been spotted entering a hiding spot.) We are still prototyping more potential Upgrades and features that enhance the “Stealth” elements of the game, and other useful one-time buffs…

• V. 2.1.0 - 🗺️Tutorial Reworked, 🎮Controller Sensitivity, & more! - 24 January 2024

  😁We’re back with some significant changes! Today mostly focuses on 1-1, replacing the previous Climbing and Wallrunning tutorial stages with a single stage that should hopefully teach both mechanics in a much better way. It also mostly includes changes to settings and the Main Menu UI. Key Changes 1-1 Update: Stages 3 and 4 replaced with a single stage that should better teach new players how to Climb and Wallrun! New Controller Sensitivity settings Refreshed Campaign/Level Selection Menu, and more!
