Boneraiser Minions
The Void awaits...
I've been beavering away raising something else of late, namely a new game called Voids Vigil! It's an auto-battling bullet-heaven like Boneraiser Minions so you might enjoy fondling it for a bit.
You won't be raising bones though instead robotical cogs which you can use to buy auto-attacking weapons, active abilities, drones, and eventually upgrade them into mega variants. It's more action orientated than Boneraiser and doesn't have the same meaty meta grind as I wanted something that's a bit more fast and fun to play right from the start. So if you're fan of Boneraiser's faster-paced Necrotic Skirmishes game mode (or just Brotato) you might just like it.
I also added a Bullet Heaven bundle so if you have Boneraiser already you'll get Void a little cheaper.

Enjoy and happy cograising! :]

Free Soundtrack Is Back
I was recently made aware that Steam removed their Media Player in the last UI Update replacing it with a Soundtrack Player. Nice thing about the old Media Player is it would automatically scan your installed game folders for any soundtrack albums and add them for you to play. This was how you would listen to the Boneraiser soundtrack that came with the game, but unfortunately the new Soundtrack Player can't do this so there was no longer a way to play the album natively in Steam... until now!
A free Soundtrack DLC has been added to the Boneraiser store page which you can activate and will be added to your Soundtrack Player. Just something for those times you fancy the feel of Boneraising but can't be bothered to boot up the game to enjoy those catchy chiptunes. Enjoy! :]
