Hey everybody, It was a long few days but I finally recovered from MAGFest and because everything went so well, we felt it was worth sharing an update with all of you. I want to especially thank everybody who signed up for the mailing list at MAGFest - your support truly means a lot! It might not seem like much, but as the rest of you know, it goes a long way and keeps the team motivated. So we cant thank you enough!

Like Music?

If you haven't signed up for our mailing list, then you need to in order to get our free soundtrack suite. Honestly, it's really the only way you can listen to it in all its glory! In addition to that, we have a bunch of other cool stuff that you'll get too, so it's definitely worth joining the adventure!

MAGFEST was just

Wonderful! It was great seeing so many people get a chance to test out the game for us. We got a ton of good feedback which was extremely beneficial. I especially appreciated getting to see peoples reactions to the introduction in Story Mode. We even had a super dedicated player beat the ENTIRE GAME (in chunks over time), and another player get about to the 75-80% mark!
It was fun getting to meet and talk to so many gamers. As usual, we met a surprising number of other Chrises! At one point, we came pretty close to having a Chrisfecta (three Chrises are playing at once)!
We had a few folks try out the new Lightweight Mode, which was very helpful, as there are definitely some spots that need smoothing out there (but nothing too tough to correct!). So now its back to work on the game - weve got to get the graphics and mechanics for the last boss finalized, and weve got a few other things we want to polish, and then it should be beta time! Thanks so much for making MAGFest another great experience and being a part of our journey. We hope you enjoy all the music too! Feel free to share what you like about Adventures of Chris with your friends,family, and fellow Chrises! :P Regardless if its a mention onFacebookorTwitter, subscribing onYouTube,adding us to yourSteam wish listordownloading 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.
