Tales Across Time - Critical Games
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 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!) ;)

And that’s not all! My previous game 8-Bit Adventures is also participating in the sale 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)!

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:

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author
“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

I am very happy to announce that the brand new teaser trailer for 8-Bit Adventures 2 will premier on the Yogscast Jingle Jam charity stream!

The stream will take place on Wednesday the 14th of December, from 2pm til 5pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

You can watch the stream live here: https://www.humblebundle.com/yogscast-jingle-jam

I also plan to be in the Twitch chat, so please just let me know if you have any questions! =)

But don't worry if you can't make it - the trailer will be available on Youtube after the stream. Check @CriticalGamesAU on Twitter or www.criticalgames.com.au for the link (I'll also post it here on Steam).

The Jingle Jam has been a tremendous success so far, raising over 1.6 Million dollars for charity. And don't forget; my most recent game Tales Across Time is participating in the bundle, along with a TON of other great games. So if you haven't checked it out yet, this is a great opportunity!

Regardless, I sincerely hope you all enjoy the trailer - I can't wait for you to see it! =D

Happy Holidays everyone! I’ve got some exciting news this festive month of December, so let’s get right to it.

Throughout December, the massively popular Yogscast are running their annual Jingle Jam Bundle for charity, and Tales Across Time is participating! New games will be revealed every day, and every cent goes directly to charities chosen by the Yogscast community. So support a great cause and pick up 37 great games!

https://www.humblebundle.com/yogscast-jingle-jam

But that’s not all! The Yogscast crew are streaming all throughout December, and not only will they be playing a little bit of Tales Across Time, but they’ll be streaming the first ever look at the 8-Bit Adventures 2 Teaser Trailer!



The trailer will go live on Youtube afterwards (I highly recommend watching in 1080p), as well as the 8-Bit Adventures 2 page on www.criticalgames.com.au. The game is still quite a way off release, but I sincerely hope you all enjoy the trailer – I put a lot of work into it =)

So please check out the Yogscast Jingle Jam 2016 Bundle, support charity, enjoy some great games, and check out the new trailer! And if possible, please share the bundle on social media – let’s do our part to get the word out there as much as possible!

I believe the trailer will be shown on the 17th of December, but this is always subject to change, so please check the Steam page and @CriticalGamesAU on Twitter to stay up to date – I’ll post updates as soon as I have any news to share.

Thank you all so much for your support in 2016. I can’t wait for you all to see the trailer, and 2017 is going to be a massive year with the launch of 8-Bit Adventures 2 – I promise that it won’t become the next Final Fantasy Versus XIII/XV ;)

...Although, real talk? I can’t wait to play that game! I’m excited about Final Fantasy for the first time in years, and I can’t think of a better way to close out 2016 for RPG fans like myself =D

Have a fantastic December everyone!
