Carnage in Space: Crucible

4 years ago

Merry Christmas! I'm not gonna have much time for game dev, so here's a retrospective instead! I give you: the evolution of Nightmare.

Wow, I've been working on these games for a long time. My pixel art may not be perfect, but it's definitely improved.

I've been retouching several things in the game that could use a little more love before release.

Among these is the nanotech system! You now get a flashy popup (with confetti and everything) when you unlock one, and the icons are also resigned.

WE'VE GOT A RELEASE DATE, BABY!

It's been a LOOOONG time coming - this game's been in development for OVER 8 YEARS and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you all in just 24 days!

There's more!

Crimson doesn't know the meaning of overkill! Just how many attacks does he have at his disposal?

I'll give you a hint: More than this.

We haven't even seen his specials in play yet...

Did you miss out on any of the games we highlighted from Steam Next Fest? They're all listed in the article. Check out their demos before Next Fest ends!

Wait, there's MORE???

...

Oh yeah, there's more. Once you annoy Crimson enough, he starts busting out the specials. This one, Flechette Storm, is just one of those screen-engulfing special moves you'll have to contend with!

But even that isn't the end...

Join a mercenary team: high-risk, low-benefit positions available!

Defend cargo trains in this innovative Turn-Based Tower Defense meets Reverse Bullet Hell.

BOOM.

This is Crimson's final attack, Entropy Bomb.

This is what happens when Crimson runs out of patience and is done playing with you.

I'd wish you good luck, but I don't think that's going to help.

HEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who don't know him, this is Crimson. Nightmare's darker side. The most powerful being in the setting.

If you want to fight him, you're going to have a very, very bad time.

Akatori is an epic metroidvania where you wield your staff to fight, jump, and explore diverse realms across different eras.

It's also one of the games that's part of Steam Next Fest!

Reminder - Carnage in Space: Crucible is finally releasing in just 4 days! Here's the last trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

I can't wait to share it with you all!
