addedWe've also seen several members of our Alliance release this year - Geo Mythica , Quartet , Shrine's Legacy , and Kingdoms of the Dump - along with new DLC for Chained Echoes , and Free Expansions for Beloved Rapture and my own game 8-Bit Adventures 2 .

changedProgress UpdateWork on Infinite Alliance is proceeding very smoothly and according to plan. Enemy battle graphics and battle backgrounds are almost fully complete, while music, environmental assets, and character sprites are at a very high level of completion too. Personally, I'm chipping away at the World Map right now!

addedProgress UpdateIn addition to some new images, I also wanted to share two music samples. The first is "Champions of the Sewers" by Eddie Marianukroh, composer of Chained Echoes. It combines themes from Chained Echoes, Kingdoms of the Dump, and For a Vast Future, and is the battle theme for our second dungeon. Each of our three crossover dungeons gets a unique battle theme to represent its inspirations!

changedProgress UpdateUnfortunately there's a lot I can't show off yet, as I want to make announcements at the right time to give them maximum impact, and hopefully get some more attention for the game through larger events. For example, I want our next trailer to show off the Geo Mythica cast, and announce the DLC character battles (see the FAQ post for why that exists for consoles, and how any earnings will go to charity: https://steamcommunity.com/games/3720330/announcements/detail/516337874624315510?snr=2___ )

addedWinter Sale Deals on Infinite Alliance GamesSince Infinite Alliance will be free, the best way to support us is to buy the participating games (8-Bit Adventures 2 sales specifically go to me, and have been used to fund parts of Infinite Alliance's development). Or if a title's unreleased, please add it to your wishlist!

When 2025 began, only a handful of people knew about Infinite Alliance. Now we have over 11,000 wishlists (thank you, everyone!), a wonderful publishing partner in Electric Airship, and we are working hard towards launch in 2026!

We've also seen several members of our Alliance release this year - Geo Mythica, Quartet, Shrine's Legacy, and Kingdoms of the Dump - along with new DLC for Chained Echoes, and Free Expansions for Beloved Rapture and my own game 8-Bit Adventures 2.

So it's been one heck of a year for indie JRPGs! But what about Infinite Allliance itself?

Progress Update

Work on Infinite Alliance is proceeding very smoothly and according to plan. Enemy battle graphics and battle backgrounds are almost fully complete, while music, environmental assets, and character sprites are at a very high level of completion too. Personally, I'm chipping away at the World Map right now!

In addition to some new images, I also wanted to share two music samples. The first is "Champions of the Sewers" by Eddie Marianukroh, composer of Chained Echoes. It combines themes from Chained Echoes, Kingdoms of the Dump, and For a Vast Future, and is the battle theme for our second dungeon. Each of our three crossover dungeons gets a unique battle theme to represent its inspirations!

The second track is an original piece - "The Chronicler's Theme" by Sebastián Cruz (Carfonu), composer of the 8-Bit Adventures series. It's a beautiful theme which represents the mysterious Chronicler - an alien being from a race of storytellers, who has brought our characters together to redeem a fallen hero.

Unfortunately there's a lot I can't show off yet, as I want to make announcements at the right time to give them maximum impact, and hopefully get some more attention for the game through larger events. For example, I want our next trailer to show off the Geo Mythica cast, and announce the DLC character battles (see the FAQ post for why that exists for consoles, and how any earnings will go to charity: https://steamcommunity.com/games/3720330/announcements/detail/516337874624315510?snr=2___)

But what I can tease is that you'll encounter many more familiar faces in the game's main hub beyond our 9 playable characters - and one of them will even dance!
