Remember when I said I had an “out of the ordinary update” coming? Well, today is a special day, since it’s the release of MG’s first joint game project with Willy World Entertainment called “Yeah Jam Fury”. Also, this first MG release of a complete game in almost 6 years! 🙂

In this game, in order to complete each level you must transform between three characters – Yeah, Jam, and Fury. Each of them has their own unique abilities, so you must use every technique at your disposal to reach the delicious mango at the end of each level! So enough with the talk, go play and see for yourself! 😀
This isn’t SSF2, what’s going on?
Don’t panic SSF2 fans, this was a secret project completed during my last semester of college with friends this year, and I wanted to surprise you all. The game’s concept and design comes from Willy World Entertainment, so my main role in the game was the music and assisting with coding (so this was by no means a project done by myself). And as some of you may know already I am now a college grad :cool:. So relax, there’s still plenty of time for SSF2. The other Devs and I have been working hard on v0.9 as we enter the summer, and we’ll be sure not to disappoint. 😉
Remember to stay tuned for more!
Hey everyone, today we have an exciting announcement:
McLeodGaming is now available on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+! 🙂
(I’ve also added image icons to the Quick Links to accommodate this)
Be sure to Like Us, Follow us, and/or +1 us in order to stay fully up to date on what’s happening at McLeodGaming!
(I also have an out of the ordinary update coming up soon, so don’t miss it! 😉 )
Again, it has been awhile since the last update, so I’ve decided to fill you guys in on what’s going on behind the scenes for SSF2.
Details on v0.9:
Many have been asking what type of content to expect in v0.9. This time around we will be focusing a lot more on additions to single player modes, character additions, VS Mode AI (CPUs), stages, and other content-based features. This of course comes with the standard bug-fixes and balancing as in every update. We want v0.9 to be packed full of content to keep the game fun until the final release of the game. v0.9 will definitely take awhile to complete since it’s going to be such a huge one, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing else going on around here in the meantime. So with that news, I would like to post two related announcements-
The first major announcement is the new Revamped Roster:
Many of you have been asking what’s been going on with the roster for the game ever since Renji was added as an assist trophy and Vegeta being in the background of Planet Namek. I would like to take this opportunity to confirm that changes have indeed been made to the roster. The roster has been completely re-thought in order to come up with the best combination of official characters.
I’m not announcing details as to the exact changes being made, however I am officially confirming today that fan characters Blade, Blue, Azrael, and Spikeman have been cut from the roster and will NOT be returning. The other Devs and I have come to the agreement that these characters are no longer up to the game’s standards in quality and relevancy, and many of the original creators of said fan characters left long ago. Of course this does not completely discount these characters from ever appearing as expansions – we would simply rather see more worthy characters in their place for the official game. Just note that the “Nintendo-only” clause still holds, and that only characters that have appeared in at least 1 Nintendo console game will be added as official characters.
The second announcement is that we are looking for new Devs!:
The Devs and I want everyone to be aware that we are searching for new Dev members. With the lengthy to-do list for v0.9 it would really help expedite the process of the game if we could get other talented individuals to offer their assistance 🙂
We have created this Dev application here that you can fill out if you are interested in applying:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGhsMEdBcUV2MmRjRGV3WUtUdkdvYVE6MQ
Sample Positions Include:
-Character Spriting
-Stage Spriting
-Flash Effects
-Coding
-Balancing
-Voice Acting
-Music
We are also looking for people to help out in secondary areas such as Public Relations, Video Editing/Promotional Videos, and Sound Effects.
Keep in mind however that we won’t just accept anyone out of the blue. Be prepared to prove to us that you have the skills and dedication necessary to contribute to the game. We could certainly use the help but we only want people who are truly serious about the project.

Thanks for reading, and expect other interesting news soon as well!
SSF2 Demo v0.8b is now available! 😀
Check it out in the Games section right away! Although the update may seem small at first, we’ve added lots of little treats in addition to all of the fixes and balancing. Be sure to play the game thoroughly so you don’t miss out on any of the new additions!
———
Also remember that the next update will be v0.9. This will be a VERY large update so it will take quite some time to complete. I’ll try to make sure to post new information every once in awhile to ease the wait a bit. Perhaps some new music or another contest soon, we’ll see. Hopefully we’ll see the update finished by the end of the year or sooner. In the meantime, go enjoy v0.8b!
–EDIT–
Some people have reported issues with DK’s target test time being saved. Please re-download the game once more to fix the problem.
Attention everyone: SSF2 v0.8b is being released this weekend! 🙂
As a special treat we’ve prepared a special promotional video for the update, check it out below:
