QuadraTron Games is a small independent game development collective from the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Founded by Zenas Bellace, Keith Maggio, and Christian Plummer, we started off as a small group of game developers who met at the Global Game Jam back in 2011. We continued to meet regularly over weekends in a similar game jam style, the results of which were often very education and quite entertaining. We also make a point of working together at the Global Game Jam, the Philly Game Jam, and sometimes even get together remotely for events such as Ludum Dare. While we don’t often meet for our own game jam weekend much these days, we all still continue to work closely with each other and bounce our ideas off each other. More recently, QuadraTron has been Zenas Bellace, who bangs out the code, and Travis Carter, who works his pixel magic. With the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, we released our first game, Monsters!, early in 2013.

It can but probably not easily. I've been considering porting it to Ouya. We'll see. What console were you wanting to see it on?

Thanks Skatez! We want to but it might be a while for us to get together for long enough to work on it again. In case you didn't know, we made this at the Global Game Jam this past January. The GGJ is an event where developers get together to make games in under 48 hours.

Thanks Gleban0080. It definitely needs more work. Unfortunately, as it normally goes with game made during a game jam, we probably won't be getting together again to give this game the love it needs. None the less, I wanted to put it up on IndieDB because I thought it was an enjoyable presentation of what is possible during a game jam. Also, it still scares the **** out of me when I play it, which I think is a good attribute to have. ;)

I was tracking this game but ended up getting a copy in the Alpha Fundle Bundle that both our games are featured in (Monsters!). I found it fun and not having played a game like it before, quite entertaining. I've been enjoying a lot of the multiplayer head to head games that have been created recently, like Hokra, Bara Bari Ball, and Tower Fall. I also enjoy the art style.

The controls need some work. It took me a few minutes of randomly pressing keys to figure out what worked. I even plugged in my 360 controller just in case I needed a controller rather then the keyboard. Yes, I know there might have been a message prompting me to to check out the controls, bla, bla, bla... ;)

I'm looking forward to see this game finished. I'm probably going to bring it up at our weekly Dev Night get together as a game we should play for "book club" nights.

Thanks and good luck! :D

Damn, and you would have won our super secret guess the video speed multiplier contest if you had! Oh well. ;)

Yes, you can download the demo now on our IndieDB page, which I can't directly link to for some reason. www.indiedb.com/games/monsters just substitute "desura" with "indiedb" in that URL and you will find the right page.

It's actually 8x normal speed. ;) What kind of game play trailer would you like to see? Would something like this be more your style? Indiedb.com

Thanks for the feedback Richtschwert. :D The new version is in the queue for approval, which is a little bit slower then the one for IndieDB. Hopefully they will have it approved by Monday.

Hey Radical, There's an issue with the 360 control drivers that's tough to fix. I'm waiting for a friend who might have a solution int he near future. In the mean time, it should be possible for you to re-map the controls using the set up window that should launch when you run the game. Let me know if you can get this working for you. If not I'll see if I can address this driver issue for you.

As for the download, the beta files are in the queue for approval. They should be available relatively shortly. Keep checking.

Thanks stinkytaco. Just so you know, there are about 30 some background. ;) The build that is currently available through Desura has a very a nice chip tune soundtrack. The next build will also feature an online leader board for those of you who are competitive about high scores. :)
