[img=http://www.lantanagames.com/steamimg/christmas_small.jpg] From all of us at Lantana Games, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas, slightly belated Happy Hanukkah, a safe New Years, and an overall Happy Holidays! 2014 has been an incredible journey from the launch of Early Access, implementing community feedback, getting to know all of you, working with MassDigi, and venturing into new territory as a Teaching Studio. We couldn't have made it this far without you and we're looking forward to continuing the journey with you in 2015 and beyond. Stay safe, stay warm, and have fun!
New Team Member
This week we're welcoming aboard a new team member, Chenylle! Chenylle has just graduated from Becker College, and was an intern for Children of Liberty via MassDiGi, the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute. She is now a full member of our team and she'll be continuing work on 2D sprites and surface textures for Children of Liberty. She's already submitted a lot of amazing work that you'll be seeing all throughout the game, and we're really looking forward to working with her more. Next semester, we'll be getting a few more interns signed onto the project for some other type of task, and we're excited to see who's next! MassDigi is also working with several other indie games in development around the area, like our friends at Dejobaan Games, whose game Elegy for a Dead World was just released on Steam. Make sure to check it and all their other games out, many of which are currently part of the Steam Holiday Sale!

Many thanks to our players and community for their feedback and bug reports. We are now working to bring you new content thanks to our friends at MassDigi!
Features
- 2.5D Stealth Gameplay: Lurk in the shadows! Children of Liberty features 2D gameplay in a 3D world. Run, jump, and turn along the Red Freedom Trail with smooth and responsive controls; hide, sneak, and lean around corners along the Blue Freedom Trail to gain strategic positioning against Redcoats and attack when the time is right!

Incoming Features
- Four Stories: Whether you're playing as Joseph, the bratty Bostonian with a wooden sword and a double jump; or Ally with a powerful slide and a strategic wall run; or Doug with a stunning ground pound and powerful counter-attack; or Sarah with a penchant for stringing Redcoats up by their ankles via her yoyo; Children of Liberty has something for everyone! Children of Liberty has an all-star voice cast, including Sarah Elmaleh (Gone Home), Sean Chiplock (Freedom Planet), Chris Rando (Dance Central 2), Ashly Burch (Borderlands 2), and more.
