Byte Lynx

Byte Lynx is out now! Post release plans.
Byte Lynx is officially released! What's next for Artful Games?

We're planning on releasing a FREE 3-5 mission mini-campaign in early 2023. We'll be listing to community feedback on our Discord (https://discord.gg/CmpSMpKRca) and expanding on your favorite parts of the game, and maybe giving you a twist or two you don't expect ;)

If the game does really well we would love to make a sequel and bring you our most requested feature: Multiplayer.

In the short term, we'll be fixing bugs, balancing levels, and maybe, just maybe, catching up on some sleep.

Happy gaming!

Launch celebration dev playthrough + key giveaway!
Every day from October 11th to the 14th we're doing a live stream from 4:30 pm-6:30 pm PST on Twitch. Come by to see live playthroughs by one of the developers. We'll be doing audience Q and A, showing off interesting play-styles, and raffling off keys to the views. Come check us out at https://www.twitch.tv/the_artful4
