March Update - Discounts, IWOCon Playable Convention, and Consoles/Progress!

Hi everyone! It’s been a while, but I’m back to share some news and highlight a very exciting playable event that 8-Bit Adventures 2 is taking part in!

The IWOCon Digital Indie Convention Begins!

8-Bit Adventures 2 has appeared at Gamescom and Toyko Game Show, but it’s never been at an event like this. IWOCon is a fully digital, online, playable game convention – basically a playable theme park for Indie titles!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1422300/IWOCon_2021/ You can download the game here on Steam, using the link above! Create your unique pirate character and set sail for the IWOCon Islands with your very own vessel (you can even fire the cannons, or dive your vessel underwater to see what lurks beneath the convention!).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3PUfCkByP8 Every island features a variety of Indie Game Booths, and you’ll fill up your in-game passport as you explore all of the different titles that the convention has to offer. 8-Bit Adventures 2 has an awesome 3D booth situated on the Love Islands (clearly the event organisers recognised our game’s romantic soul haha), but you’ll have to discover it yourself in the IWOCon app to see what it’s like (no spoilers here!) ;)

The event will be live from March 26th through April 2nd (during which a bunch of great streamers will be covering it), but the IWOCon game on Steam will remain online even after the event is over. You can find a bunch of the amazing indie games featured in the event at the link below – some of them are even discounted, too!

If all goes according to plan, I’ll be in the chat for an 8-Bit Adventures 2 Demo Stream being held by CDI Arcade on Twitch at 11:30 PM on Monday EST. So come on by to say hello and asks questions if you’re interested! =D

It’s truly incredible what the team behind IWOCon has achieved, and they’ve done it all completely for free and purely to support indie developers. It’s the most unique and creative convention I’ve ever seen, and I’d sincerely appreciate it if everyone would check it out and support them! They really deserve it.

So download the IWOCon game on Steam and set sail for adventure! =D

A New Milestone!

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet this year – I’ve had my head down working very hard, and we’ve also had a bit of a family health scare, so things have been a little bit hectic haha (not to mention the Steam Festival that we participated in earlier this year).

Before we get onto the progress update, though, I want to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you. Not just for your continued support
