Update #76: Pixel Noir To Launch In January!
As many of you know, we've been trying to link up with the perfect publishing partner for the past year. Given that we've been sitting on a finished product, we've made a BIG decision.....
Drumroll, please! Tuh tuh tuh truh tuh tuh truh....! We will be releasing the game ourselves! This empowers us to deliver Pixel Noir directly to you, our backers and the fans! So, without further ado......
January 18, 2024 Pixel Noir will launch on PC, Mac and Linux available on Steam! BOOM! Mark your calendars, set your alarms, tell your pals, snitch on the cat lady down the street, and join us for an unforgettable journey as we head to launch day! But that's not all...
In celebration of the end of an era in development, we will present the full version of Pixel Noir to the general public at MAGFest's Indie game showcase (MIVS)! If you're going, swing by our booth for some good times and exclusive merch!
Note: cover art for the Pixel Noir Arrange Album is still under construction
Heads up, savvy gamers! The Early Access price is available right now of $14.99 at the moment, but come launch day, it will leave Early Access and transition to its retail price of $24.99. But fear not! We will roll out a 20% launch discount on Steam during the first week! Backers, you're already covered, so enjoy getting in on the ground floor and helping us build this odyssey of a game!
You get a discount. You get a discount. *Everybody* gets a discount! After launch, we'll transition to getting out the backer rewards! We plan on having a more detailed backer rewards-based Kickstarter update sometime in the months after launch. That all said, this is a great time to ensure that your BackerKit survey is current- link here to review! Porting will also be a central focus after this initial launch. Pixel Noir will first spread its wings on Steam, then Epic Store, and GoG for PC/Mac/Linux. After that, Nintendo Switch will be our next goal with XBox Series X and PS4/5 on the horizon! Our dev team is taking on the challenge of porting with no publisher in the mix.
The SWDTech Games mantra
We're thrilled about this initial release! We also want to say thanks and congratulations to all the backers and Early Access patrons--this will be the end of an era and hopefully the start of a new one!
Stay tuned for more updates as we figure out the best way to bring Pixel Noir to you. Here's how you can stay in the know:

Pixel Noir Early Access (Linux) [963.52 M]
Living on the streets of a dump like Pinnacle City, there’s only two things to keep you going: A pack of cigarettes and the feeling that there’s more than this.
There was something rotten in that rundown place. You were in over your head, but you were too proud to admit it. It was your pride that killed your partner. With the hospital burned to a crisp and nothing to exonerate you, they threw you in jail.
For ten years you were haunted by unanswered questions and unspeakable horror, frightened by what you saw, what you did - and what you could still do. Now you’re scraping by as a private eye, running a business out of a crappy apartment. But a chance comes along to clear your name once and for all. With your sanity at stake, how can you afford not to take it?
Pixel Noir is a turn-based RPG set against a film noir backdrop.
