Hi there !

Let's introduce ourselves : we're the Upper Byte team.
We're indie devs (a programmer, a graphist and a coffee machine )
We've been working for more than a year on our brand new indie game.



So the game is called   Wooden Sen'SeY , it will be available for PC and Mac on digital distribution platforms.

It's an action/platform game for PC and Mac, set in a colorful and offbeat Japanese universe, "Japan Steam Rock" scheduled for release in summer 2012.

You follow Goro, a village chief, as he seeks revenge through a variety of levels.
The game has 9 levels with bosses that Goro has to overcome using his axes .

Some in-game screenshots :

You can watch the game trailer on Youtube :

In summary:

  Several ways to take the way of the Sensei: dive in or play with finesse!
  A unique "Japan Steam Rock" universe with punch and tons of humor
  Several different types of atmosphere and gameplay
  An original graphic style, an exclusive OST
  "Dev-Time" challenge for each level: beat the developers' time
  Localized in 5 languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German


Don't hesitate to ask questions, post comments, we'll answer as soon as possible !

In addition to the solo adventure and time attack, we integrated an achievement system for those who like to finish their game at 250%. So we'll be sure you hydrate yourself drinking SeY!

Another great news: a demo version of Wooden Sen'SeY will be available on release date, so you can try the game for yourself.

In June we were honored to be part of the Selected Projects for Game Connection Asia 2012 in Shanghai, and Wooden Sen'SeY won the advisory board special price during the event!

One other important thing, do you remember George? Our coffee machine? Well he's trying to become an artist, he takes pictures in the studio, and posts them on Twitter...
The interesting part of this is that he hides Easter Eggs in them. So if your eyes are good enough, you'll be able to know stuff even before the news is out!
