Hey, world travelers, its time for a quick December update! But first, make sure you dont miss the free gift were giving you for devoted fans! Just subscribe to our email list to get it if you havent already!

Get Ready for MAGFest!

Were showcasing again this year at MAGFest in Washington, DC, so if youre in the area, swing by and check us out! The game has progressed so much over the past year Im really looking forward to trying out all the new stuff with everybody.
If all goes well, well have three stations instead of two this year, meaning more game time for everyone!

Getting the Mechanics Down

Im working right now on the mechanics of the super-secret final boss (although I guess maybe not that much of a secret), which is the final piece of the puzzle before we send out the beta. The goal was to beta ready by now, but having the game in good shape and truly fleshed out will make a better experience for everyone.
As far as game structure goes, Ive been comparing the boss to Ruby Weapon of Final Fantasy VII fame. However, thats not a completely appropriate comparison, as this boss wont be that difficult, and the character should wrap up several dangling story threads in a (hopefully) awesome way.

A Little Something for the Holidays

Ok, the holidays aside, we thought folks would enjoy a bonus portion of the games soundtrack for anyone who signs up for the mailing list.
If you havent yet, head on over to our email sign-up page to get all the updates, beta access, plus the soundtrack suite and other bonus stuff!

Like Indie Game Music?

As another bonus, I decided to rank my top 10 favorite indie game soundtracks and share my reasons with you!
If youre curious, click on over and give some of these artists a listen theres some really nice stuff, I think, especially if youre into melodic music that captures the values of retro soundtracks Thanks so much for being a part of our journey. We hope you enjoy all the music and most of all any holidays you may be celebrating. ___________________________________________________________ While youre spreading some cheer this month, feel free to share what you like about Adventures of Chris with your friends and family. Regardless if its a mention on Facebook or Twitter, subscribing on YouTube, adding us to your Steam wish list or downloading the soundtrack, it all goes a long way!

THE GAME

Adventures of Chris is a story-driven adventure platformer heavily influenced by 90's cartoons. Explore 8 initial world locations in any order as you build your character from a weak kid into a plausible video game hero. Chris's floating mechanic allows for unique platforming challenges, and he can learn increasingly powerful spells and special moves as he travels the globe - as well as purchase upgrades from the merchants of the Kingdom of Lost Balloons. Explore a world like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon, fight ninja cats and cyborg penguins, uncover a sinister story, and prove your capabilities to a skeptical population - with laughs along the way!

THE STORY

One day in 1995, seven children around the world mysteriously vanish, including a nerdy, overweight 7th-grader named Chris. Finding himself in a remote part of Transylvania, he soon becomes lost in a Saturday morning cartoon universe of magic and villains. When one of those villains transforms him into a helium balloon as an insult, Chris (ever the optimist) reinterprets his transformation as the superpower of flight, and floats off to save the other kidnapped children.
