We have spent a lot of time working on our UI and our animation system,&#8221; said Robot Wizard.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the small size of the team and time constraints, Robot Wizard will release Jengo episodically &#8211; a format which has been used by similar games in the genre, including The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Robot Wizard and their plans for Jengo below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ASjIdwYXvi8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to 10 fun and geeky bras for gamers\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/88367-10-fun-and-geeky-bras-for-gamers.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">10 fun and geeky bras for gamers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Gaming shows and movies you can watch on ShowMax\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/88725-gaming-shows-and-movies-you-can-watch-on-showmax.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Gaming shows and movies you can watch on ShowMax<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to NVIDIA GTX 1080 killer graphics card \u2013 release date\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/89165-nvidia-gtx-1080-killer-graphics-card-release-date.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">NVIDIA GTX 1080 killer graphics card \u2013 release date<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South African studio Robot Wizard is developing a point-and-click adventure game named Jengo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":89267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[7106,2664,553,18037,18039,6210],"class_list":["post-89265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-developers","tag-gaming","tag-indie","tag-jengo","tag-robot-wizard","tag-south-african"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
