Spark the Electric Jester 3 is a 2022 platform game created by Brazilian indie developer Felipe Daneluz.

Development and release

[edit]

Like its predecessors, Spark the Electric Jester 3 was created by Brazilian indie developer Felipe Daneluz.[2] Daneluz believed he could improve upon Spark the Electric Jester 2 and wished to elaborate on its ending, completing the series as a trilogy.[3] The game was announced on September 7, 2020, for Windows. Spark was reinstated as the protagonist, as Daneluz believed he was then capable of translating the character to 3D. He aimed for the game to have more content then Spark the Electric Jester 2 by reusing resources from the main stages to create several adjacent "side stages".[4] Inspiration was drawn from different pieces of media, including 2000s-era video games and anime such as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Excluding music, Daneluz was responsible for each aspect of the game,[3] but received additional assistance and contributions regarding art, programming, sound effects, character designs, and beta testing.[1] The soundtrack was composed by several people, with returning musician Paul Bethers and series newcomers Teodor Dumitrache and Leilani Wilson being its primary contributors.[5][6][7] Additional songs from previous games were also reused.[7] Although a release date of August 15, 2022, was announced,[8] the game would be released a day earlier on August 14.[9][10] It was published via Steam under Daneluz's studio name,[3][9] Feperd Games.[10] Stages from Spark the Electric Jester 2 and new content were added to the game post-launch.[11]
