Untitled, developed by Studio Thunderhorse with art by Johan Aronson.  

An endless mobile runner for iOS.  It’s only been in development for a week, but the art already looks pretty stunning.  Being made by the same team that is creating Laser Fury (co-op action RPG), which also has great pixel art (see below).

Not sure if the timing on the split GIF will be correct for everyone.  I banged my head on my desk for far too long trying different ways to get it to play nice. >.<

Blood Alloy: Reborn 

by Suppressive Fire Games.  

An acrobatic 2D score attack shooter coming to all major platforms.  Blood Alloy in its final form is intended to be a full fledged Metroidvania, but for now the developers are focused on releasing a shooter with a smaller scope, which will hopefully be successful enough to support their bigger ideas.

Concept art drawn by Aaron Nakahara.

That Which Sleeps  

by King Dinosaur Games.  

“A turn based strategy game about driving the world into chaos and darkness by manipulating it from the shadows.”

Instead of controlling a run of the mill hero, you play as one of the “old ones”, where your goal is to weaken the world enough to prepare for your glorious return.

Due to having a very successful Kickstarter, the game is having a graphical overall, and a lot is probably going to change between now and release.  The new faction art (by Richard Luong) is so awesome I broke it into a separate post.

There’s also a digital art book coming with maps of various areas and scenarios from the game, drawn by Francesca Baerald.

Age of Ascent 

by Illyriad Games.  

A massively multiplayer space shooter that you can play right from your browser with no download required (it uses Microsoft’s Azure servers).  The highest number of concurrent players so far is almost 1000, with a much higher potential ceiling.

Currently, every other Saturday you can play the PvP dogfighting aspect, check the website for the countdown timer to see when it opens.

It’s a bit difficult to record nice GIFs for games with realistic-ish graphics (that play nice with Tumblr), so take a peek at the trailer if you like.

Basement 

developed by Halfbus Studio.  

A drug dealing strategy game.  Normally this wouldn’t really be my thing but it seems to have a solid gameplay foundation, with nice pixel art, and also reminds me of Breaking Bad.  Though, Mr. White would be pretty appalled at selling where you cook.

Build your empire underground, creating and selling various types of illegal substances.  Even if you plan everything perfectly, various random events can happen that will send everything sideways.  

Scheduled to be on Steam Early Access in April.
