- Epic Manager is back with a sweet sale! - 27 June 2022
Hello everyone, News about the game has been few and far between these past few years as the team at Manavoid has been working hard on many projects including Rainbow Billy (you should try it out!) and secret projects. Epic Manager represents something special for the studio as the game was their first commercialized game and still remains a popular subject topic at the office. But enough about that - today we've slashed the price of the game in half. For the over 10,000 of you whi have the game sitting in their wishlist, it's now or never! We're going to be looking at how the game performs during the sale and make decisions accordingly on the game and its future. Have a wonderful day, The Manavoid team
- Steamboat Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan now LIVE on Kickstarter! - 15 May 2018

Doing this, we've managed to scrounge up enough funds to start making our own IPs again and have been working on a special one in the past few months, Steamboat Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F25720624%2F2838eb30ae17386387536b0789881d97d86d5b67.jpg Most succinctly described as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker meets Pokémon, Steamboat Billy is a singleplayer adventure-RPG set in a classic Disney-like universe in which you must defeat and capture strange monsters while sailing the dark seas, in order to rebuild and bring back color to the world you once knew! The dynamic art style grew out of our love of classic 1930s American cartoon aesthetics and the recent indie hit…

Fixed Database Error with Kickstarter-exclusive cheat code. --- That's it for now! We're still actively monitoring our Official Forums / emails / St…
