Well, it was a crazy month, but 8-Bit Adventures 2's time on the Square Enix Collective finally drew to a close last week. 300 people voted for the game, and we had an amazing response on the website and on social media - ending up with a 90% YES rating!
Now as far as I'm concerned, that's absolutely incredible! Thank you so much to everyone who supported us over the past month, whether you voted, gave feedback, tweeted, or just checked out the page! Everything you guys did for the game was sincerely appreciated.
In fact, we even got our very first piece of 8-Bit Adventures 2 fan art, drawn by the wonderful @Zepht on Twitter, who did an incredible job!
I'm planning to run a fan creation competition at release with some really fun prizes for collectors. So if there any artists, musicians, or writers out there, get ready! We'll be accepting all kinds of entries, so even if you don't fall into the above categories, you still have a shot. But that's a discussion for another time!

These discounts won't get any lower in the future, so get 'em while they're hot! ;)
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!
