Ahoy there, mateys!

The wait is finally over, and I couldn't be more excited to share that Chantey is finally released, and the physical cartridge (still feels bizarre to think about) is now available to order via the ModRetro website!

To celebrate the occasion, I put together this little video - Check out the game's launch trailer below!

These past months have marked one of the most exhausting, challenging, and yet, most rewarding stretches of my life, and this week feels like all that energy, pain, blood, sweat and tears will finally pay off! If you'd care to help bring more eyeballs to this trailer and to this game, consider liking and/or leaving a comment on YouTube, and/or sharing this tweet (similarly, if you prefer using BlueSky, here's the related post).

Putting in words how I feel right now is difficult. Chantey has been a huge part of my life for these past 2,5 years, and sending it off into the wild for all to see (and in physical form, no less) has been a nothing short of a dream come true! I truly hope all of you who end up playing the full game will appreciate the attention to detail, the painstaking quality assurance process, and the creativity and love that went into this dream project of mine. Whilst trying to stay humble, I truly believe Chantey to be something completely new, exciting and special for the Game Boy® platform - I can't think of any other game blending in top-down adventure, note-matching rhythm combat and stealth elements in one completely crazy package - and I can only rejoice at the thought that something I made (from the game, story, music, graphics, down to the artwork on the box cover) will be part of your physical cartridge collection for years and years to come! And with the amazing treatment from ModRetro on all materials that come with the game (that charm came out so good!), I am sure you'll receive a game package you'll be happy to display next to all those other brilliant ModRetro titles.

I'd like to thank you all, for all the support, encouragement, and positivity, all of which fueled my resolve and helped me push through to deliver this game on time. I can't wait for you all to finally get your hands on Chantey, and am eager to read/hear/see what you have to say.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope that you're in for a grand adventure!
