New Blood is getting pretty old, huh? The developer (which is behind several indie hits of the past decade) is having a to celebrate the occasion, aptly titled "We love you, we hate money".
As announced on the yesterday, New Blood is offering discounts on its catalogue of games—which includes frenetic first-person shooter , slightly-less-frenetic first-person stealth game , and Faith: A haunting little pixelated horror title with a that's been burned into my brain by sheer meme osmosis, despite never having played it.
The page itself buries the lede a smidge on the deals available—while a few bucks off Ultrakill is nice, the bundles are where it's at. The Ultrawood bundle, aside from making my inner 10-year-old giggle, lets you snag both games for £23.17 ($27.61). Buying them separately without the discount would run you £37.74 (approx. $47.90). Not too shabby.
The savings ramp up with some of New Blood's classic games, too: —a shmup released [[link]] by the studio in 2015—is currently available for less than a dollar.
The developer also has body pillow discounts. Yeah, there are officially-licensed Ultrakill body pillow cases for sale, and it's somehow taken me this long to find out. The is rammed with t-shirts, mouse pads, that sort of thing—but who are we kidding, you're here for the , aren't you?
While the studio's projects are typically pixelated, stylised, and surprisingly smutted-up by their fan communities (not that I'm judging), New Blood's next upcoming game is —a Dishonoured-style shooter with non-linear levels and stylised pulp comic graphics. You'd think a move to grizzled mafia mobsters would keep the styluses away, I give it about a week before somebody draws the protagonist with his shirt off—the [[link]] suspenders still on, of [[link]] course. It's what da boss would want, see?
