The JumpStart Blog

Adventure Land is on its way to a computer near you. Can’t wait? Neither can the folks here at the JumpStart Studios!

With the launch of Adventure Land only 3 days away, excitement is running high as we busily check to make sure our latest and greatest game is glitch-free for your enjoyment next week.

Art complete? Check! New characters animated? Check! New worlds populated? Check! Missions and games in place? Check!

Now that all the brand new characters, landscapes, hidden treasures and games are up and running on the JumpStart servers, its time for everyone at the office to do their best impression of a 5 year old.

That’s right, just before launch, the JumpStart team focuses on testing the limits of every piece of a game – just a like a 5 year old trying to figure out how many times he can say “why” before you beg him to stop.

If I decide to make my robot dance at exactly the same moment as 65 other people, what will happen? Hmmm. Time to recruit the whole office for a stress test.

Can I drive my dune buggy into just the right corner and get myself stuck? Uhoh. There’s a fix for the production team.

What if I decide to ride my hang glider over the ocean – will my Jumpee fall in and sink? Whoops, we certainly don’t want any drowning Jumpees once real kids are playing the game!

Luckily for you, with all the nerf guns, beach balls and ping pong tournaments and the Knowledge Adventure offices, we do a pretty good job of keeping everyone young at heart – which means if a 5 year old can figure out how to break our game, we’ll figure it out first.

Of course, once we find the problems we have to put our grown-up hats back on and dive into the code, textures and design to find a way to fix the error. But with the great production and development teams here at Knowledge Adventure, you can rest easy, knowing that by the time Adventure Land arrives on your computer next week, it will be absolutely perfect (or at least pretty darn close)!

Congrats to the JumpStart team for designing another great game!
