Tales Across Time - Critical Games
Yep, that's right - it's time for another Weeklong Sale!
But this isn't just any sale - this month marks the 2 year anniversary of my previous game 8-Bit Adventures being released on Steam! And this was a very important turning point for me as a game developer. Because of that release, I've been able to fund and create what is by far the largest and highest quality game that I've ever made - 8-Bit Adventures 2.
And it's certainly not just about money! The 8-Bit Adventures player-base honestly blew me away with their patience, their feedback, and frankly their kindness. I felt a genuine sense of community when the game first launched, and I've had the opportunity to speak to a lot of wonderful people.
So before we get to the business part, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who's been present on the forum, written a review, sent me a message or email, made a comment somewhere, or just simply played the game. It honestly means a lot to me =)
...As you can probably tell, my ability to get creative with these discount announcements has greatly diminished over the last couple of years =P But these sales are important, as they not only introduce new people to 8-Bit Adventures and Tales Across Time, but every purchase goes towards funding to the upcoming 8-Bit Adventures 2!
From 10AM US Pacific Time, Tales Across Time will go on sale, making an already cheap game even cheaper! At just $2.69 USD, you really can't beat that price; trust me - I set the prices ;)
Additionally, my previous game 8-Bit Adventures is 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)!

As I said in February, the discounts won't get any lower and the Wishlist numbers just keep going up (over 3500 for 8-Bit Adventures and almost 3000 for Tales Across Time!). So if you've been interested in starting a new adventure, or know a friend who would like the game, then this is the perfect time to jump in!
2017 has been a fantastic year for gaming so far, with an already impressive list of great games (between Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Persona 5, I've been a very happy gamer =D). And I can't wait to add 8-Bit Adventures 2 to that list later this year. I'll be posting an update on the game sometime next month, so please stay tuned!
I always post 8-Bit Adventures 2 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'm also getting into the habit of using Twitter more frequently to comment on games (particularly RPGs and retro games), retweet other indie efforts, and occasionally mention other fun 'geeky' stuff (like Star Wars). In January, a Final Fantasy IX picture I tweeted got around 70k impressions, so that was pretty exciting to see so much love for my favourite (and an often forgotten) Final Fantasy! But I digress =P
You can also check out the Critical Games Website for more 8-Bit Adventures 2 info and screenshots (including some animated GIFs), or check Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/CriticalGamesDev
Okay, I think that's enough marketing. Thank you for reading, as always, and to any players, new or old, thank you so much for supporting 8-Bit Adventures these past 2 years.
Here's to a bright future! =D
