Izu Plush is 70% funded! I took photos with it!

[p]Hello, everyone! Stepford here. ːNekoː
The Izu plush is 70% funded! It's pretty awesome that we've already got this far and there is still a bunch of time to go. If you want to cop one, the link is there! Fingers crossed we reach 100%, and if we do, I am so desperately hoping that people will take photos of their Izus across the world and in all sorts of funny places.

I recently went to a music festival called Meredith here in Australia, and I took the plush Makeship sent me as an example with me. I got all kinds of funny photos, here is some of them below![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It was such a good time. Lifetime memories being made, Ninajirachi was my personal favorite! I also uploaded some video clips to the Picayune Discord and to my Twitter if you want to see those. [/p][p][/p][p]If you want to buy an Izu for yourself and support the dev team, you can click here![/p][p][/p][p]Otherwise, I hope everyone is doing well! I'm working on my new game, Andy is busy wrapping up Endacopia and Milky has been doing live shows that look SO good! I'd recommend following her Twitter to keep up to date of when she does those. I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here's some music! ːGunfireRebornloveː[/p]

Daily Deal + Izu Plush + New Game

[h2]DAILY DEAL[/h2][h3]40% OFF[/h3][p]We're very grateful to have Picayune Dreams featured as a Steam Daily Deal in celebration of its 2nd Anniversary! The support from this fandom since launch has been absolutely unreal. Sharing your busted builds, theorizing on the lore, and creating a wide range of beautiful and abstract fanart.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]We can never pay that back in full. But hopefully this week's all-time low discount at 40% OFF is a decent start! Be sure to check out the Bundles page to see if any of those paired games appeal to you (or if you already own any of them, to see if you can snag an added discount on Picayune Dreams!)[/p][h3]
Bullet Heaven Fest[/h3][p]This also coincides with the Bullet Heaven Fest 3.0 presented by Human Qube and Erabit[/p][p]Check out that event for a wide selection of other games inspired by Vampire Survivors, and other similar action roguelikes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]IZU PLUSH[/h2][h3]From the talented team at Makeship[/h3][p][/p][p]Starting NOW we are running a limited campaign for an official Izu Plush[/p][p]We worked directly with the Makeshup team to craft a final design for our beloved Izu![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]During this campaign we must hit a minimum threshold of sales for the plush to go into production. At the end of the month, if that threshold has been met, these little cuties will be made and shipped out to everyone who backed the campaign. If we come up short, you will not be charged. So be sure to grab them while they're hot, as this might be your only chance![/p][p](Note: After the campaign ends, it will likely take 3-5 months to produce and ship the completed plushies)[/p][p][/p][h2]CARDAVER[/h2][h3]Upcoming Roguelike Tower Defense[/h3][p]Yesterday we also announced the next game coming from Stepford, the programmer and lead designer on Picayune Dreams! Stepford is joined by the talents of BlightedHelix (Artist) and ConnorGrail (Composer)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This is a Plants v Zombies inspired roguelike deckbuilder![/p][p]Using a wide variety of monsters and spells to defend each lane, help the Dragon Queen protect her Castle Kingdom against an army of fantasy do-gooders and tyrannical princesses.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]It is an absolute honor for 2 Left Thumbs to once again have the opportunity to publish and support Stepford's brilliant work. Please be sure to Wishlist the game so you don't miss out on any upcoming playtests, or other development news.[/p]

9 Circles of Bullet Hell Bundle



If you've been holding off picking up Picayune Dreams, waiting for the real deal to come along, look no further. Our game is now available alongside 8 other Bullet Hell titles for 1 low price in the latest Humble Bundle. AND it directly supports a meaningful charity!

You can purchase the 9 Circles of Bullet Hell: A Survivors Bundle directly on Humble Bundle, which will provide you a Steam key to redeem here. The Bundle is available for 2 more weeks. But don't wait too long!


The most surreal part of this is seeing Picayune Dreams positioned directly beside Vampire Survivors across all the promos! We're insanely proud of this game, and seeing it help up next to the very game that inspired it is a very special thing.

THANK YOU for all your support!

Ravernt is hard at work cooking up the first public demo - and I have a feeling it's going to REALLY surprise people. Be sure to give it a Wishlist so you can be notified when that goes live!
