Anniversary Giveaway!

Next week (May 12) will be the one year anniversary of the release of Eschalon: Book II. To celebrate, we want to give stuff away!

We will be giving away three Basilisk Games T-shirts to three lucky people! The shirt will come from our swag store and the size/style/color will be your choice. To enter, you need to do the following:

“Like” our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter. Bonus: if you also retweet this “Anniversary Giveaway” tweet and are one of our winners, we’ll either upgrade your T-shirt to a sweatshirt, or throw in a coffee mug with your T-shirt! If you already follow us on both Facebook and Twitter, then there is nothing more for you to do- you are already entered, and the bonus mentioned above still applies to you!

Some people don’t like social networking, and we understand. So, a second way to enter is to simply own a copy of Book II. If you are a registered owner of the game (any time before May 12, 2011) then your name will be entered into the contest pool as well. The drawing will take place on May 12, and we will notify winners within 48 hours.

Any questions? Leave us a response here or a message on our forums!

Downloads back online

We were just informed that our Downloads page was offline, and this issue probably occurred a day or so ago after we updated some of the website software. Sorry about that! Everything should be fixed now.

Basilisk Games Projects Update

So we had our fun on April 1st, but that ended up just triggering a bunch of emails from people wanting a real update on our real projects. I guess it’s the least we can do!

Book III remains officially unannounced, but we are certainly hard at work on it. For the final game in the trilogy, the size of the team has grown and we are giddy with excitement to show you what we are working on! However, don’t expect to hear much more or see any screenshots until we make an formal announcement later this summer. As for a release date, it’s definitely not going to be this year, so let’s just go with “when it’s done.”

There are always other projects simmering here at the studio, and we hope to make an announcement regarding our first post-Eschalon project soon. Many of you have heard rumors that we have been working on a Sci-Fi based RPG for quite some time, and that is true, though we are not prepared just yet to say that is what’s coming next. Just keep an eye on our forums, Twitter feed or Facebook page because those are the places we tend to “slip” information about what projects we playing around with day-to-day.

Book Zero Update

Okay, we thought we’d better post a disclaimer for the three of you that emailed us (and those who didn’t) who were very upset that we decided to turn the Eschalon series into a JRPG clone. It was a joke, for all of you April fools. Thanks much to Inverse Phase for the cool chiptune of the Eschalon theme.

Basilisk Games Announces Next Title!

We are extremely excited to announce our next title, Eschalon: Book Zero in development now for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. This time we’re taking “old school” to a whole new level with this epic 100 hour game crammed into a 6 megabit cartridge, designed exclusively for the NES.
