- Beyond Omni Link - Crypterion Announcement - 2 September 2024
Crypterion focuses on "You" as the main protagonist. Omni Link is a grand adventure, but I wanted to create a game that makes the story a distinctive adventure for each player. Crypterion Introduction Crypterion is a captivating blend of space adventure and visual novel. Recruit a diverse crew, trade goods, take risks, and become a TV sensation. Your choices impact romance, wealth, and the search for powerful artifacts. You do this while managing your large... and secondary small business to gain power and wealth. But what is a game about acquiring mass riches if you don't have a way to spend it? Spend your riches on items in game including: gifts for companions, technology, trade permits, concept art, and secrets. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1048860/?snr=1_5_9__205 *Wishlist Crypterion to be notified on release.

- Omni Link Release Date - September 4th - 13 August 2018
When I played through the entire story the other day and the credits rolled. I was really moved with emotions. The ending is truly epic to the tale I've been building the last two years and I can't wait tell you all experience it. The last chapter is truly the best of them all. I'm happy to announce that Omni Link is complete and will be released September 4th. They often call a game when finished "Gold". My game at the moment is "Gold plated". I only need till Sep. 4th to iron out the last few things. I've always wanted Omni Link is be a story you experience more than you read. I can safely say, that it's become like that for me. Thankyou Steam Community for "Early Access" which made this possible!

- Omni Link - Manga & Game - 21 July 2017
I don't think many of you were expecting this announcment. If you did, leave a comment and I'll find someway to reward you with a, "I knew it was coming!" badge. My dream goal is to bring the story of Omni Link for you to enjoy as an Anime. I'd like to confirm that progress towards an earlier step is happening. Omni Link is transitioning to a Manga. I'm going to ask and answer some questions I think you would ask. Is the "Game Version" story and Manga going to be the same? A new script has been written for the Manga. These drafts are different from, but complement the game. Edit: I can't have side quests, tons of battles, and traveling from place to place in a Manga script, so I had to write new content for the Manga. Much of the new content makes for a better story and some of the content will make it to the game. Also, bringing the characters together quickly was important, so complet…

- Summer Sale and News - 22 June 2017
Looks like Dawn is ready for summer vacation. If you remember last Christmas, I also did one with that theme. I was going to post this as the main image in the store, but nobody else seems to be doing it. Omni Link is 20% off right now. A couple weeks back I had a major update so you can play chapters 1-3 now. Although, I don't consider those chapters finished, there is still plenty to play. I have an announcement I want to give, but it's not ready. Early next month is my estimation. So this is an announcement of the announcement hmm... Thank you for your positive reviews. Although few, they mean a lot and Omni Link hasn't got much attention. I'm glad to know you are liking the game and look forward to improving based off the feedback I've gotten so far. Happy Summer!
