1/3/12 - Two years ago, we set out to create our first commercial adventure game. Today I'm proud to say that we are ready to announce the official Ballads of Reemus Release Date:
January 27th, 2012!

And now for the brand new Ballads of Reemus official trailer, with clips from the actual game:


This means your last chance to pre-order the game and play the early release 2 weeks ahead of the official release date will be January 13th, 2012.

Now that we’ve had a chance to play the game in its entirety and compare it to other indie adventure games, we’ve decided to lower our price point to $9.97 for both the downloadable and the browser-based version of the game. The decision is meant to bring our price more in-line with the current state of the game market. More information about the price change for pre-orders is after the jump (click "Read the rest..." below if needed).

So as the launch date looms on the horizon we wanted to commemorate our first ever commercial game with a special package. Presenting, the Ballads of Reemus Limited Edition Collector's Package includes:

• CD Version of the Game in Collectible Amaray Case Signed by Jay & Steve
• Reemus & Liam T-Shirt
• Reemus & Friends Sticker Sheet
• "The Ballads of Reemus" Original Soundtrack, available for download from your account.
• Plus the Downloadable and Browser Based Version of the Game

This set is available to order in the updated store for $39.97 + shipping with limited quantities on a first come first serve basis. Once they're gone, they'll be gone forever. Order your Collector's Edition here and don't forget to pick your shirt size!

12/7/11 - The Visitor Returns has been launched, ready for you to get your grubby little point & click hands on. Thanks goes out to our sponsor ArcadeBomb!

Also, we're planning to put up some Reemus t-shirts soon. Our ideas for the design have been posted on the forum and we're actively looking for feedback before it goes into production.

In other news, as you can see our Ballads progress timeline has been updated and we're on the last of the last tasks, with just a handful of programming and audio tweaks left to do.

1/27/12 - Yes, The Ballads of Reemus official launches today. I fought off exhaustion long enough to do this video blog last night.

Thank you everyone for all your kind words and positive feedback, it has really helped pull me over the finish line on this project. I’m just so happy to finally be launching this beast.

Now we all get to sit back and see what happens. So rest up and get ready to start a new gaming adventure soon!

ps. I was really tired when I did this blog, so forgive any incoherent ramblings.



PPS: Both the downloadable and online version of Ballads are now live! Sorry for the delay, of course we had some last minute snags. Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be Ballads if we actually got it out on time. ha.
