We are totally focused on marketing our Greenlight campaign right now. Steam does not give you a lot organic traffic these days, so we have to work harder!

We got a mention on Destructoid - A Quiver of Crows looks lovely... which was surreal!

@Boreal - thank you! We believe in using renewable energy resources

@Gamedragon - thank you! I'll let the artist know. We went through so many iterations of names (see the next response)

@bdsowers - we WERE going to call it A Murder of Crows! But there is a card game with the same name that we didn't want to infringe on. An Unkindness of Ravens didn't have a nice ring. For a while, it was going to be A Murder in the Sky, but a Google search on that name would return horrible air line stories that we didn't want to be associated with. We went through so many iterations, until we decided to come up with a group name of our own. Quiver implies arrows -> shooting/shmup, and a quick friends test later, we had our name. I will pass on your valid concern about distinguishing the silhouettes.

@Ticebilla - haha, thank you!

Hi everybody! I am one of the developers and the composer for A Quiver of Crows. The game is inspired by traditional shmups as well as twin-stick shooters. We love these genres and have been playing them for years so it was natural for us to come up with the gameplay for A Quiver of Crows. We noticed a lot of shmups are set in space and feature rigid bodies (spaceship, robots, etc), so we wanted to create a shmup with a unique theme.

About us
We are a small team of three, and this is our third game. We started with mobile games, but it's getting harder and harder to get noticed. Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to get noticed on Steam as well. This is our first game for the PC, and as far as we know, our last game we'll be making.

Thank you for your time!
