Developer posts and news about this game.
Back when we started making Eight Dragons , we were intent on making something that felt like it was of a particular era in gaming. That meant proper pixel-art, a CRT effect, arcade gameplay... We were so focused on achieving that goal that we went all the way with how it was pre
We're pleased to announce our first 'proper' post-launch update, as we've added our first new game mode! Super Arcade gives you 11 levels to fight through - two of which you can't see in the other game modes - which makes it more than twice as long as the regular Arcade mode. You
Now that we've launched, a few more people have joined the ranks of Eight Dragons players and let us know about a couple of new issues. Today's patches fix the following: The enemies on the Docks and Subway Station levels should now stop running away from the players Leaderboards
This update's an important one, despite the lack of new features, with lots of little things being done to make Eight Dragons ready to leave Early Access. There are still bugs in the game, and we'll be working on them for a little while yet, but the biggest ones are now out of th
Just some little things in this update! Following up on another bug report, it's no longer possible to move while you're in an elevator. We've also added sound effects when you pick up food and money. There's a slightly bigger fix to correct an issue we discovered this week. It t

While the coding side of our team is working on those big features we've talked about, the art side has started looking at improving the look and feel of the game. The first thing we've got to show you is in our latest update - the Downtown level has been drastically upgraded, wi
It's been a couple of weeks since the last update, but we haven't been doing nothing, despite how small this update is! This update adds support for German, Russian, Spanish and Chinese languages. Yes, we know that won't affect most of our existing players, but we thought it'd be
Two weeks into Early Access! So far things have gone well - we haven't had many bugs crop up, but we have had some suggestions on gameplay improvements. Here are the changes we've made for this update: Throwing - thrown people knock over standing people. If you didn't already kno
Our first week on Early Access has gone really well. That's not to say you guys haven't found any bugs - you have, and told us about them, and we really appreciate your help! Our first update has gone live, and while we haven't had time to take care of everything, here are the ch
