G'day! I hope everyone's doing great =D It's been a little while since my last post, so I just wanted to provide a small update.
Retrogamesmaster Interview
First off, I was interviewed by the fantastic retrogamesmaster.co.uk! We discussed 8-Bit Adventures 2, how I got into development, favourite and least favourite games, and much more! I had a great time responding to the questions and I sincerely appreciate their asking me to participate, so I hope it's an enjoyable read!

Well over 2000 people have Tales Across Time on their Wishlist, and over 3000 still want 8-Bit Adventures! The discounts won't get any lower - at least not for a very long time - so if you're interested, this week is a perfect opportunity to pick up some RPG action AND contribute to the development of 8-Bit Adventures 2! Speaking of which...
8-Bit Adventures 2 Progress Report
Development of 8-Bit Adventures 2 is progressing well - still a long way to go, sadly, but I'm really happy with the way it's turning out! Most of my time at the moment is spent constructing the environments, and I can safely say that this is going to be a much more diverse and varied adventure than the last.
Beyond that, the artist (Jerram Fahey) has been doing an incredible job creating the graphics for said environments, as well as the various NPCs (who will also be much more diverse). Even though I ask for specific assets, he always manages to surprise me, so I really can't wait to show you all more of his work!
And the composer (Carfonu) has already produced some fantastic, catchy tunes that I can't get out of my head (the Coastal Town, which you can see a screenshot of in the previous update, is a particular favourite of mine)!
That's All Folks!
As always, I’ll post future updates here on Steam, but I also highly recommend following @CriticalGamesAU on Twitter, as that’s the best way I’ve found to keep up-to-date on news!
I sincerely appreciate your continued patience and support, and I hope this Weeklong Sale allows even more players to enjoy 8-Bit Adventures and Tales Across Time!
