Today was supposed to be Super Chibi Knight day...

... but I decided to delay the launch until after the Steam Monster Summer Sale. Lots of people told me launching during the sale would be a bad idea and when I asked why they convinced me that everyone would be spending their money buying up discounted games and not really interested in buying a new release at near-full price. MAKES SENSE DOESN'T IT?

Also, the format of the Steam Homepage is totally different during the sale and heavily features the on-sale games with little to no mention of new releases. So, yeah, I'm glad I waited, but kinda sad that it's not "officially out" yet.

That said, the version that's currently up for sale is 99% complete. I'm just finishing up some final touches to the ending cutscene that will go up tomorrow or Wednesday. The "official" launch date is now June 24th, but you might as well buy it now since it's done and also discounted 10% for the Steam Sale. :-D

I also got my 50th Steam Review today, 48 of which are positive. So now, the little Steam review feedback thing says "Very Positive" :-3

Here's a still from the final cutscene:

Leave me a comment and let me know if you'll be picking up a copy!

BoMToons 2015-06-15 18:19:53

Surprise! Intrigue! Play today!

bocodamondo 2015-06-15 18:19:57

dont forget E3 , everyone is spamming twitter with unfunny comments about it now

BoMToons 2015-06-15 18:19:57

Yeah, good thing I missed that too...

AdrianoNieradka 2015-06-15 19:15:37

indeed, with E3 and the summer sale most of the sells would go to the big ones.
my recommendation is to wait till august

BoMToons 2015-06-15 19:15:37

Ha ha, not gonna wait that long man!

MSGhero 2015-06-15 20:03:10

I would pick up a copy, but yknow. I'll replay the first one though, it's been almost 4 years since I did.

BoMToons 2015-06-15 20:03:10

I know? I know what? That you'll love the game WHEN you buy it?! ;-)

eyedust 2015-06-15 20:29:39

great to see it come full circle, congrats!

BoMToons 2015-06-15 20:29:39

thanks! *high five*

MSGhero 2015-06-15 22:02:34

That I've owned it for 6 months already ;)

BoMToons 2015-06-15 22:02:34

Ha ha, of course!

Afro-Ninja 2015-06-16 00:43:21

Good call, some of the deals they post are ridiculous.

BoMToons 2015-06-16 00:43:21

Yeah, I picked up a few $1.25 titles during the sale. The Steam economy is interesting to observe now that I'm more involved in it.

D-SuN 2015-06-16 08:48:37

Very wise to delay the launch. Good luck for when it actually launches!!!

BoMToons 2015-06-16 08:48:37

Thanks, same to you and your launch!

freakworld10 2015-06-16 10:15:48

well now in order to repay your fans for the delay you
should give out more free steam keys
please? :D

BoMToons 2015-06-16 10:15:48

I'll discount it for you!

CryticCowLogic 2015-06-16 17:26:29

Can't wait till tomorrow so I can completely finish up the game! :D

BoMToons 2015-06-16 17:26:29

Woot! How have you liked it do far?

CryticCowLogic 2015-06-16 18:24:49

It's been enjoyable to hack through the enemies and bosses alike while trying to figure out where the easter eggs are hidden. XD
On a side note, I also learned how exploit certain enemies early on for faster exp gain but maybe you set it up like that on purpose. :P

BoMToons 2015-06-16 18:24:49

There are plenty of exploits and easy xp farming, but I like that cuz I never liked HAVING to grind in games. There are plenty of secret xp stashes around to let you dedicate yourself to actually progressing in the story without ever being bored.

Glad you're enjoying it! Which path did you choose? Beastmaster or Sorcerer?

rhys510 2015-06-16 19:07:30

If i was not low on cash and had spare time i would deffo give this game a go - bomtoons you are an inspiration to all programmers and newgrounders, keep the good work up and i hope to see more flash work in the future :)

BoMToons 2015-06-16 19:07:30

Thanks man. I would love nothing more than to go back to making short flash games after this, but it may not be in the cards... or may it?!!

CryticCowLogic 2015-06-16 20:30:15

Beast master because flying and dragon fire is overpowered. XD

BoMToons 2015-06-16 20:30:15

Ha ha, nice! I love the dragon mount, but he's definitely overpowered. The sorcerer path is a bit more fun imo though, so be sure to check it out eventually!

Magical-Zorse 2015-06-16 21:51:15

That was one hell of a sale, bought like 20 games + SCK.

BoMToons 2015-06-16 21:51:15

Nice! Yeah, I even got in on the bloodbath :-D

rhys510 2015-06-18 13:19:43

well if you ever want to get into them again im free to collab :) i work in as2.0 but im more into animation - ive been working on a game for a while and il show you it if you want to consider collaberation at all :P

BoMToons 2015-06-18 13:19:43

Cool, I'll keep you in mind once I decide what I'm doing next in life :-D
