Chrono Trigger & Site Updates! March 06 2014

Hey Everybody,

Chrono Trigger copyedits are done and we have moved on to layout! If you are a journalist/critic/blogger/vlogger/podcaster and would like an early digital galley of the book, please contact us at bossfightbooks at gmail.

Everyone else: Sample a full chapter of Chrono Trigger over at Kotaku!

Did I tell you? The book features a foreword by none other than Squaresoft localization legend Ted Woolsey. He worked on not just Chrono Trigger, but also Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Final Fantasy Lengend III, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire, and Super Mario RPG.

*

ZZT and Galaga edits are coming along really nicely. I can’t wait to share these books with you.

*

EarthBound by Ken Baumann is now available for $4.99 in the Kindle store.

You can also buy EarthBound in a three-format bundle from us directly.

*

We made a few updates to bossfightbooks.com.

All forthcoming books can now be pre-ordered with Paypal from each book's product page: Chrono Trigger, Galaga, ZZT, Super Mario Bros. 2, Jagged Alliance 2

Anyone who wants to can order a six-book Season One subscription here.

We filled out the Press page with reviews of EarthBound, including the latest review from Ian Denning at The Collagist.

And we'll get into this more soon, but: We will be accepting book pitches next month, and added some info about what we'll be looking for.

It was great to see/meet some of you in Seattle last week. Let’s do it again!

Yours,

EarthBound Shipped + Book #2 News January 28 2014

Hi Everyone,

All print copies of EarthBound have shipped! Most of you have already gotten them in the mail, and the rest of you should be getting them very soon.

THANK YOU to all who have helped us celebrate this book across the medias. Photos of EarthBound in the world will be retweeted by @BossFightBooks, especially those featuring dogs or bumblebees.

Some cool press from the last couple of weeks:

"At last, EarthBound gets the paperback it deserves." - Kill Screen

"Ken reaches into his childhood and remembers Shigesato Itoi’s game. But much like Ness, by remembering the game and his experiences with it, Ken also remembers a part of himself." - Coin Battle 

"Excellent." 10/10 - Nerdlife

"So much fun." - Bookrageous

"The breadth of Baumann's interests and his infectious love for humanity make him the perfect writer to do this game justice." - The Rumpus

“I hope this book lives to be read after we’re gone.” - HTMLGIANT

*

Now let’s talk business. As I’ve mentioned before, the order of our Season One titles will be based on the order in which they are ready. Well, we’re now ready to call the next book: Book #2 will be Chrono Trigger by Michael P. Williams.

Chrono Trigger is the book that was decided by vote by our Kickstarter backers during the campaign last summer. To determine the author, we opened it up to pitches, and gave the job to a writer who wrote a proposal/excerpt that blew me away. He got to work immediately. Michael and I are currently hard at work on edits, and I’m really pleased with how the book is turning out.

In the meantime, anyone who wants can pre-order the book here or order it here when the book is out.

*

Last: Anna Anthropy just emailed me her ZZT first draft. I'm about to go print it out and dig in.

Last-last: There are 30 Kickstarter backers who have yet to fill out their surveys. Please head over to http://www.kickstarter.com and fill out your survey so we can lavish you with book(s).

Oh! And last-last-last: I want to brag on our author, Darius Kazemi, for his Boston Globe profile. Let’s pray he never turns his bots against us. 

Thanks, all!

Gabe Durham, Boss Fight
