SHADEs!
We are officially in the final 48 hours of the SHADE Protocol Kickstarter.
This campaign has gone far beyond what we expected, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who backed, shared, commented, wishlisted, sent feedback, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines.

Thanks to your support, SHADE Protocol reached its initial funding goal in just 25 minutes, then kept going!
Across the campaign, we've unlocked 12 goals that will help make the game bigger, stranger, and more exciting:
Initial Funding Goal met in 25 minutes!
Additional Area: The Worldwound!
Guest Composer: Manami Matsumae, original Mega Man composer!
New Instrument Weapon: TBD, maybe a Scythe, maybe a Hammer, who knows!
Core Improvement: Live instruments for the soundtrack!
Boss Content: A new Primal Boss!
Radical Fish Collab #1: CrossCode x Alabaster Dawn Secret Bosses and Harmonies!
Additional Area: The Codesong!
Guest Vocalist: Emi Evans, original vocalist for NieR, Dark Souls, Granblue Fantasy, and more!
New Game Mode: SHADE Encores, our Boss Rush+ Mode!
New Instrument Weapon: Fists, with punching, grappling, and more!
New DLC: CrossCode x Alabaster Dawn x SHADE Protocol Collab DLC!
That last one still feels unreal to write.
The CrossCode x Alabaster Dawn x SHADE Protocol DLC will be a full themed DLC with a new area, new bosses, new storyline content, and more. It will also include music from Nagi Shirakumo, the original composer of CrossCode and Alabaster Dawn, and level design from Milton Guasti, known for his work on Ori and the Blind Forest, Another Metroid 2 Remake, and more.
Even better, everyone who pledges for a game tier before the Kickstarter ends will receive the DLC for free.
We also revealed Fist Weapons, a brand-new Instrument type focused on fast, close-range, aggressive combat. Our goal with Fists is to make them feel physical, stylish, and extremely satisfying, with punching, grappling, and other ways to stay right in the middle of danger.
There are also still a lot of campaign rewards available, including physical editions, signed Collector’s Editions, art books, soundtracks, in-game goodies, and other limited rewards we may not offer again in the same way after the campaign ends.
There are only 48 hours left before the Kickstarter ends!
If you’ve been following SHADE Protocol on Steam and were waiting to jump in, this is the final stretch. Backing now helps us make the world of Emeria bigger, more ambitious, and full of the kinds of surprises we love building.
Also, there might be one last secret Stretch Goal coming! :D
