Winter Sale Deals + End of 2016 Message!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Winter Sale

It’s just three sleeps ‘till Christmas, so you know what that means – it’s time for the Steam Winter Sale!

To be honest, I’ve always found the timing of the Winter Sale so close to Christmas a bit strange; but there are some fantastic deals to be found! So while I heartily recommend spending this festive time with family and friends, there’s no harm in picking up some last minute Christmas presents...or early New Year's treats ;)

So what do I have in my bag of deals? Well, this Holiday Season you can get 8-Bit Adventures at 60% off! That means you can own it for just $4 USD! You can also get the fantastic Remastered Soundtrack 30% off ($3.50 USD), or the Game + Soundtrack bundle 45% off (that’s only $6.60 USD)!

And that’s not all! My most recent game Tales Across Time is also participating in the sale, making an already cheap game even cheaper! At just $2.69 USD, you really can't beat that price (literally - take it from the guy who sets the price!) ;)

End of 2016 Message 2016 has been a pretty difficult year for…well, everyone - and in quite a variety of ways. So to close out the year, I want to leave you with a quote from the great Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy. In a recent interview with Glixel, he said:

“I like making games that make you feel hopeful for the future, striving for a better tomorrow.”

While I can’t hold a candle to Mr Sakaguchi’s skill as a Game Designer, this statement encapsulates how I try to approach my own games. When you think about it, most RPG narratives can be described as hope and love overcoming cynicism and nihilism; and that’s a message I think we can all appreciate after the trials of 2016. So I promise to do my best to provide a game which inspires a sense of fun, hope, and joy in 2017! Thank you so much for your support and I hope to see you next year =D
