Dear followers,

I recently game across this tweet showing off Google's new "Genie" AI, capable of making video games. When I saw it, I was simply blown away.

The result speaks for itself. Dazzling images far exceeding what our fledgling studio, let alone any developer is capable of. It has become clear to anybody in the "know" that AI games are the future. And in order to ensure the survival of this studio following the IMMINENT AI REVOLUTION, we knew we had to get ahead of the curve.

Feast your eyes on the NEW JAY LENO ADVENTURES! We decided to test the AI on a minigame we're working on, called "Let the Jays Cross". Immediately, the AI improved the minigame, christening it with the new name "Got the Jose Cope". The new title is perfect in every way- thank you, AI!

And look at the new graphics, my God, the graphics! They are positively stunning. I feel like I can reach out and touch Jay Leno, who has turned into what appears to be a purple skateboard.

I'm so glad this is the way we chose to reveal this minigame to you all. You always have to put your best foot forward, and I believe we have. We can't wait to implement AI into the rest of the game!

Always Looking Forward,

Swag University

Hello Jayheads!

Our first studio update of the new year! It's been some time since our last studio update- and in that time, the Jay Leno Adventures V2.0 update has blossomed in scope, much like how a budding flower unfurls its petals to reveal its full beauty. This is to say, the update may take a tad longer to release than anticipated. In the interest of transparency, here is the renewed scope of the update.

Updated moveset for Jay, including new abilities!

More stage elements and obstacles!

A large graphical overhaul!

Multiple secrets and Jay Leno facts to find in each level!

Completely reworked levels, and four all-new levels!

Two new enemies!

Hop-and-bop combat system!

An all-new intro cutscene!

And as promised before, a fully original soundtrack!

So, yes, quite the departure from what was originally promised, but all in the aim of delivering the very best experience we possibly can. The amount of content in update will truly dwarf the original game in size, and to reflect this, we've retroactively retitled the game to "Jay Leno Adventures (BETA)".

If you haven't checked it out already, here's our post celebrating Pixel Day 2024! There you can see some of the new content that will be present in the update.

That's all! Keep on fighting the good fight, Jay Leno fans.

With undying graditude,

Swag University

Jay Leno fans worldwide,

We here at Swag University have come into possession of a Steam key for the hit 2018 videogame Celeste. In our boundless generosity, we have decided to give it away, but only to the individual we deem most worthy- the biggest Jay Leno fan! Logically, the only way to determine the largest Jay Leno fan is through an essay contest. Here's the prompt:

What does Jay Leno mean to you?

Requirements:

100+ words

Proper grammar

Proper level of appreciation

Sent to us via our PMs!

The winner of the essay contest will receive the aforementioned Steam key! However, even if you don't win, there's something in it for you- everyone who submits an essay will receive a less valuable, some may say worthless, online virtua-prize.

Sharpen your pencils,

Swag University

Small update, JayHeads!

We here at Swag University didn't plan on revealing much about our MAJOR UPDATE to our hit game Jay Leno Adventures until it releases, but given the incessant clamoring of our fans for the reveal of any new content, big or small- we knew we had to oblige. Hopefully this will appease you, a look at a new enemy, as well as a comparison of his final look with his original concept drafted by one of our talented artists!

My, look at the improvement! From humble origins, this enemy has blossomed into a quite a handsome little man. Cool tank treads, a stylish yellow spring, this enemy has it all- that is, besides an identity. Despite our best efforts, we here at Swag University have failed to come up with a name deserving of his majesty. Thus, just as all of you have begged us for updates on the game, we similarly beg you to NAME THIS ENEMY! Comment your suggestions below, and if we like it, your name will be immortalized in the updated game's credits!

I hope you're all excited to go toe to toe with this fearsome creature when the update releases. Take care!

With furious passion,

Swag University

Beloved Jaybies,

A very merry Christmas from our team at Swag University, who do not have the day off and are still hard at work on Jay Leno Adventures V2.0. We make this sacrifice for you- so we may give the gift of Jay Leno to you in the new year.

Celebrate the day by watching the 2007 animated film “Christmas is Here Again”, narrated by Jay Leno!

Love,

Swag University

Happy Holidays, our patient fans!

As the yule log is set ablaze, and you all bask in the comfort of the season, our developers remain hard at work, delivering more JAY LENO ADVENTURES content for you to enjoy. The update, JAY LENO ADVENTURES V2.0 will sadly not be ready in time for Christmas, but as a petite "stocking stuffer" just for you, enjoy an early taste of the new content of the update, including the brand new environment of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, the setting of MULTIPLE NEW LEVELS! The update will also bring with it new abilities, enemies, and multiple quality of life changes.

We are also excited to announce that Swag University has hired a new social media manager, a graduate of the department of psychology at Princeton University. We have them running our brand new Twitter account, which you can follow here. We are expecting high volumes of traffic to the Twitter/X servers due to this announcement, so if you cannot successfully follow the account please try again later.

Good tidings,

Swag University

Dedicated fans,

It’s come to our attention that some of you are of the belief that the game Jay Leno Adventures has no ending! This could not be further from reality- once you reach the image of Jay Leno at the peak of the mountain, simply continue to the right, where there is more to see! This ambiguity was admittedly a mistake on our part and will be remedied in the upcoming Jay Leno Adventures 2024 update.

Love,

Swag University

Happy Holidays, Jayheads!

Today we've released a minor update to Jay Leno Adventures to make it run better and look nicer on Newgrounds, just little behind-the-scenes touches with resolution and such to make it scale properly to browsers. Consider it our Christmas gift to you! So yes, quite a small update, sorry to everyone patiently waiting for the promised major update but our team is still hard at work on that front, and news will come in the new year!

Keep on chuggin',

Swag University

As many of you know, the Game Awards 2023, hosted by Geoff Keighley, has just ended, with nary a mention of JAY LENO ADVENTURES. This took us all by surprise- I was told we were a shoe-in for best debut indie game, and I even thought we had a fair shot at game of the year. However, the injustices don't end here. In order to attend the show, I rented a suit and paid for a flight to Los Angeles, but I wasn't even allowed to enter the theater. Clearly, there was some kind of mistake, and I expect an apology from Mr. Keighley soon. I watched the ceremony from my phone in the parking lot. I'm not ashamed to say I wept.

Despite being snubbed, we here at Swag University hold our heads high, knowing that even if we didn't get the award, we are the rightful game of the year. What follows is an unabridged copy of my acceptance speech which I unfortunately didn't get to use tonight.

I guess we were all expecting this, right?

Hold for applause

No, but really, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I never doubted for a second that we'd win, and it's all thanks to our talented developers, and devoted fans, and of course, Jay Leno Himself.

Hold for applause- 20 seconds

To everyone who ever doubted us- eat shit, eat shit, eat shit. We are on top of the world and you are DIRT. The dirt I walk on. Suck it. (Make a "suck it" hand motion)

Hold for applause- 30 seconds

Good night everybody!

That's all. Too bad it didn't work out, but life's too short to be bitter. There's always next year.

With love,

Swag University
