Xenocide is a top-down, arcade shooter in an arena-like setting. Your objective is to survive as long as possible against hordes of enemies. Along with some common firearms, there’s a vast amount of power ups to aid you in this endeavor. Before each match, you can choose the power ups which have a chance to drop during the fight, to fit your play style. Of course blasting baddies might be more fun with a friend, so there is also a possibility for local co-op.

Post news Report RSS Insomnia Gaming Festival - Day Two

A brief overview of our second day at the Insomnia Gaming Festival in Coventry. Updates on new builds and our progress on Steam Greenlight

Posted by on

Another great day at i54. The game has been receiving a generous amount of attention at the booth, and on Steam Greenlight; as of writing we are now 26% of the way to the top hundred, and have had 1435 unique visitors in just two days of being up on Greenlight.

We brought out a new build today with some UI tweaks based on player feedback. Some players felt that it looked too much like a mobile game, so rather than have the four flame icons sit at the top of the screen, they are now smaller icons which stay at the fires they indicate, much like an objective marker. A screenshot of the new UI is available here: Twitter.com

We were also having an issue where the PCs at i54 were loading the game too fast for anyone to actually read the control scheme, so we have added a play button to that screen so that the game doesn't begin until the player is ready and comfortable with the control scheme.

We're looking forward to day three of i54 and making some more progress on the game. Remember to head to www.xenocidethegame.com and vote for us on Steam Greenlight!
