Hello players,
We have some important news regarding our 16 BIT NIGHTS company's future.
01 Welcome Back, Commander
The game has been released. We also provided a series of updates after release, and the game is now rock solid with a very positive rating.
Unfortunately, the actual sales were under our expectations, and my partner and I had a lot of arguing regarding this, so we decided to "part ways," which brings me to the next point.

02 NEW GAME #1
My partner will work on a new game without me. He will use the artwork I made for previous Chromosome Evil/Welcome Back Commander games, and he will also use the 16 BIT NIGHTS branding for publishing, so even though we parted ways, we are still working together to some extent.
He plans on experimenting with co-op multiplayer within an extraction squad-based type of gameplay.
More details soon.
03 NEW GAME #2
I will also work on a game, but I don't want to give out spoilers yet other than it will be a new IP with unique squad-based gameplay.
I will also be working on this one with a new partner.
In addition, this year, I will also try to focus more on our YouTube channel and make full playthroughs of our games with commentary.
04 NEW GAME #3
In collaboration with Real Heroes Studio, we would like to announce a big demo update on Desolated District on 27 April.
This is a fresh take for us since it's our first project as a collaborative effort with another developer studio. We have a minimal involvement rezumed to environment storytelling design, graffiti sprites, polish interface stage, design consultations, and marketing consultation.
The game is a 3D survival crafting with a nice magical touch within a Kowloon Walled City theme.

05 Lovecraftian Days Fest
We would also like to announce that the Lovecraftian Days steam festival hosted by Fulqrum publisher has started, and Welcome Back, Commander, along with Chromosome Evil and Chromosome Evil 2, are participating.
To celebrate this, we put together a new trailer that highlights some of the Lovecraftian-inspired bosses you can encounter in Welcome Back, Commander.
