Hi guys! Thanks for stopping by. We’re super excited to announce our Steam Greenlight release! Today at 1300 (1 p.m.) we submitted to Greenlight and put our future in your hands. As we take this big risk, we wanted to let you know where we are and what’s going on.
Steam Greenlight: Goo.gl
We’ve spent the last two weeks since our demo release working on squashing bugs in our demo, developing three new alien classes, deepening the alien AI, creating new levels, adding an additional usable weapon to the player’s arsenal (three down, five to go), creating the armor system, and our favorite: devising additional challenges to thwart the success of the invasion. (That laughing zeno in the teaser? That’s actually Nathan.
But for your viewing pleasure, here is our updated feature list and some new screenshots
