As promised in last month's update, I am very excited to announce that 8-Bit Adventures 2 has been selected for this month's Square Enix Collective showcase! It will be visible on their website for 28 days, beginning on July 16th.
https://collective.square-enix.com/projects/
For anyone that doesn't know about the Collective, it's a curated website (run and maintained by Square Enix) that helps small teams build awareness of their ideas. It's a wonderful opportunity for more exposure, as well as a chance to connect with an audience who loves the same types of games that we do (namely JRPGs). And depending on how positive the response is, there could be more opportunities beyond this as well!
If you want to help, then please check the Square Enix Collective website on or after July 16th (up until the 20th of August). There will be some new screenshots and information to check out, and you can take the opportunity to vote and provide feedback if you'd like. Your support would be sincerely appreciated!
Critical Games Creator Page
Also, despite some troubles, the new Critical Games Creator Page is fully operational! If you want updates on new games and a place to see my entire library of content and news updates, please check it out and click the green 'Follow' button up top!

Summer Sale Reminder!
Finally, I just wanted to remind everyone that the Steam Summer Sale is nearly over. Even I'm honestly not sure when the next sale will be, so if you haven't picked up 8-Bit Adventures or Tales Across Time, make sure to grab 'em before 10:05 AM on July 5th (Pacific Time)!
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)!

Additionally, my most recent game Tales Across Time is also participating in the sale, making an already cheap game even cheaper! You can now get it 20% off - that's just $2.39 USD!!

As I've said before, these discounts won't get any lower in the future, so now's the best time to buy! ;)
And remember, every purchase goes towards 8-Bit Adventures 2's development. As many of you know, I am funding development myself, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for your continued support!
