8-Bit Adventures 2 changes
Hi everyone! Today I've got an important question to ask, and will also share a behind-the-scenes look at a failed pitch created during the development of 8-Bit Adventures 2. So first off, friends, I need to know...
Would you buy an 8-Bit Adventures 2 Plushie?
I've been speaking to a great company about the idea of making a high quality 8-Bit Adventures 2 plushie (most likely based on our fan-favourite Robot!). But there's a caveat - we need to have the numbers.
Specifically, we'd need 200 people willing to pledge $3 each to pre-order the plush in order to make it a reality. These early adopters would then get an additional $3 off the final product. So that means the plushie would cost $27 with the discount.
There aren't any pictures or concepts yet; right now, I'm just gauging interest in the idea =)
So if I tried to make this a reality, is it something that you'd support? I really need to see the numbers on this one, so *please upvote this post or leave a comment below!*
An Ambitious Failed Pitch
Enough time has passed that I can now reveal that I made a FAILED PITCH to Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox back in 2021 for console exclusive boss battles in 8-Bit Adventures 2. This is not real content, but rather a dream our team tried to make a reality.
I'm thrilled to finally share the incredible work of Sebastian Cruz (carfonu), Loyal Haylett Jr (AnubisJr), Steven McCarthy, Andre Smith (Neweegee), Jerram Fahey, and Ryan Jampole!
And that's not all! You can also listen to 9 incredible arrangements made for this pitch on Sebastian's SoundCloud page: https://soundcloud.com/carfonu/sets/8-bit-adventures-2-unreleased
My eternal thanks to these amazing artists for bringing this dream to life with their talents. I am SO proud of what our team achieved and really happy to finally share this unfinished dream 😊 Several of the team members from this pitch are now also working with me on Infinite Alliance, too!
You can also learn additional info in the social media threads I made!

That's all for now!
I'll have some more exciting news to share about my upcoming game Infinite Alliance in May. But for now, I just wanted to connect with the 8-Bit Adventures 2 community and see if you'd be interested in this rare opportunity for some indie game merchandise :D
Happy Easter to all who celebrate, and I hope your 2026 is off to a great start!
