Shotgun King on consoles August 24th + all our other games are coming to Steam!

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate · published 25 Jul 2023, 13:00 UTC

Chess fans and frustrated monarchs of all horizons, hear hear!

We have a double announcement for you today! Both have been in preparation for quite a long while, so we hope you're as excited as we are.

First, Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series on August 24th!!

This is all thanks to our friends at Headbang Club who did incredible work of adapting the game to both the technical and design exigencies of modern consoles, and with very little help from us. The game even has some brand new art, a new interface for consulting achievements directly in-game, new controls, some new localizations, and a tutorial which I personally did the writing for! (though they wouldn't let me put "horse f❤❤❤ers" in there but that's ok) The result is super slick and professional and we can't wait for you to see it!

Plus, I mean, who hasn't been wanting to play Shotgun King on the go with their Nintendo Switch, right?

But that's not all, here comes the second announcement for you PC gamers!

All our other games are coming to Steam, one every week, starting next Thursday!

You may or may not know this but we actually make a lot of games! For half of 2021 and the better part of 2022 we made a new game every month, and we intend to do it again for the entirety of 2024! So we already have 14 games, only 2 of which are currently on Steam: Shotgun King and Moonpong. Well this is about to change!

Our very first game Antecrypt is releasing here on Steam next week on Thursday the 3rd, with an updated Soundtrack as well as Steam achievements and Steam cloud support! And then every subsequent Thursday, another of our games will come out, until we completely run out sometime around 3 or 4 months from now!

Though it's not complete you can see all the games that already have a Steam page here.

And please check-out the new trailer for Antecrypt! It's a single-stick arena shooter where the crosshair simply bounces around the screen and you have to shoot down enemies with your rechargeable laser beam!

Watch on YouTube

Thanks for your attention! More news for the PC version of Shotgun King are coming at some point in the near future!
Have a great week!

Game update4 Aug 2026Quickpatch v1.623bHi royals! This is another quickpatch because I wanted to use the newest version of our engine which should be more stable on finicky systems. But I also took the opportunity to fix two leftover bugs in the codex and make it possible for modders to use the "vision" cheat functionality. That's litterally the entire changelog, look for yourself: · \ Fixed a bug in the codex where card panels woul…Game update15 Jul 2026Patch Notes for v1.623: Another round of bugfixesHi Royals! Well, I was self-indulgent and hid a funny interaction in the last patch, and now I reap the consequences. There were a few new bugs, and it also made some pre-existing bugs more noticeable. So here's a new patch that fixes all that! We also found out that there was an issue with our engine, where one of the libraries it uses would fail to do its job properly on computers with an ARM…Game update26 Jun 2026Quickpatch v1.622bHi Royals! I hope you're having a nice Summer Sale. All our games are 40% off , just so you know. Anyway, that's not why I'm here. We just updated the game with another quickpatch. We're trying to get the game as stable as possible for the console port. I think we're getting there. If you find anymore bugs, please let us know on our Discord!
