We have been working in parallel with a lot of the game’s stages this far in development, but now we have reached satisfactory completion for one of them. This means that we have a "vertical slice" of the game with every kind of content that we want it to contain, from in-game graphics and gameplay to menus and music. And more importantly it’s now playable using only a controller, without interaction from the editor. A select number of testers will get their hands on this demo soon to be able to play it and give us valuable feedback to consider while we continue to work on the rest of the game.

In February we were invited to show Genocron at the California State University Stanislaus. We met some passionate students and had a great time answering their questions and watching them try to break the game in front of us while they where trying it out.

On April 29th the biggest retro game festival in Scandinavia – Retrospelsmässan – took place in Gothenburg, Sweden. Robert attended and had our alpha demo ready for anyone who wanted to play. Even though expos are very exhausting to attend, it is always worth it when you see the first impression on a new player's face when they enjoy the game.
“A big thanks goes out to all of you who stopped by and tried out the game. I will be bringing all the positive vibes back to the studio!”

For more than a year, we have been working in silence to build this game from the ground up. Much remains to be done, but it is now in a state where we can start to share some details and glimpses on the way to a final release.
 


Genocron is a dark sci-fi action adventure with moderate amounts of exploration and mystery. Platforming and gunfights take center stage among a backdrop of creepy environments and startling encounters. Prominent inspirations include Metroid and Journey to Silius.
 
It's notoriously hard to predict software development schedules, so we will simply keep working and post updates as we go. You can follow our progress through any of the links above, or sign up for our newsletter to get notified of major news items.
