Hey! I just ran across this and was wondering how far you were able to progress this idea. I think it is a very worthwhile endeavor!

Correct! You can pre-order on Gamer's Gate today, and get extra Gamer's Gate points for free! Here's the link: Gamersgate.com
Pretty soon! Before the end of this year! :)
Very good question. I'm curious about this as well.
Wow, thank you very much, LiquidusWolf! That really means a lot, and I will make sure the team hears that. :)
Very cute, having the kid talking in the background. I like it! :)
This project has definitely captured my interest, with the unique theme and style. Wishing you the best of luck, and am tracking your progress. :)
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Be sure to tell your friends about it, and check out our website: Ares.x10studio.com
Yes, there was a lot of inspiration from other games out there (Megaman being one). Games like Metroid and Megaman did a lot of things right, and we saw no need to reinvent the wheel. :P
Thanks, Bioknight! We're really glad you like the demo!
The difficulty will increase a lot as you progress through the game. The demo only showcases one of five different stages we currently have implemented.
When is our next release? Very soon! We're currently in the process of doing some internal testing (and fixing). In the meantime, keep playing the demo and give us as much feedback as you can. The more feedback we receive, the better we can make the game! :)
Thanks, Paxton! We've put a lot of work into the game, so it's really rewarding to receive an award like this! :D
Thanks, Ninjaman222! Be sure to track the project, so you can follow our progress. :)
Very well done! ERI is getting stronger everyday! :)
Thanks for the feedback Krieg_91! :D
The in-game dialog is definitely something we plan on revisiting before release, but has taken a back-seat to implementing some other core features.
At the moment free-fire mode is working as intended, but we would appreciate as much feedback, on both control schemes, as we can get.
We'll see about 1360x768 support :)
Only word to write : Thanks! :P
Thank you very much, jjawinte! It's a pleasure to receive such high praise, especially from an esteemed member, such as yourself! :)
Thanks! When you get a chance, check out the demo in the download section, and let us know what you think! :)
Correct! :)
Congrats on the success! It's always inspiring to see other indies make it. :)
Original Metroid was also one of our major inspirations. We're big fans of classic side-scrollers! :)
Really looking forward to seeing how this idea is executed. There are a ton of typing games out there, but very few FUN ones. Tracking...
This is one of the few projects I've seen on ModDB that takes project management & planning seriously. I wish you all the best of success!
Thanks for tracking!
Thanks for tracking! :D
Megaman is one of the many games that inspired A.R.E.S., so it's a compliment to hear that. :)
Thanks! We really appreciate the positive feedback! :D

I'm a lover of games & a full-time game developer, working in the industry as a producer. In addition to my professional work, I've also had the pleasure of working on a variety of indie projects, including Dystopia, Grim, Blade Symphony, and A.R.E.S.. I try to stay as active in the indie community as I can, and am always looking for new friends, so drop me a line. :)
