SHADE Protocol Kickstarter is now live!

Hello everyball and everycabbage!

Recently, we revealed that Alabaster Dawn and CrossCode are part of a collaboration with SHADE Protocol.

Today, our friends at SHADE Protocol have launched their Kickstarter campaign!

Link to SHADE Protocol Kickstarter

SHADE Protocol is a cyber-fantasy Metroidvania with fast combat, music-based weapons, strange abilities, and worlds that can be sliced apart in very concerning ways.

The Kickstarter will help the team continue developing the game, support future console porting, and make some of the more ambitious optional collaboration content possible.

Some CrossCode and Alabaster Dawn inspired content is already unlocked, including secret bosses and special abilities. Other things, like guest music by our own SHIRAKUMO Nagi, new themed builds, and maybe even CrossCode / Alabaster Dawn inspired DLC content for SHADE Protocol, are possible as stretch goals.

Back when we worked on CrossCode, a lot of people helped us by simply talking about the game, sharing it, and giving it a chance.

That kind of thing can mean a lot for a small indie team. So if SHADE Protocol looks interesting to you, please check it out or share it with someone who might enjoy fast combat, secrets, and suspiciously sliceable worlds.

That’s all for today!

Thanks a lot for your support!
