[Cybertiger]

Hello,

Hello fellow devs,

We are two ex-Blizzard dudes working on our first title at www.awfullynicestudios.com

We are happy to announce our first Title currently in progress:



Here is a weapon Demostration video




The Game is basically about Pestcontrol with machine Guns in space.
The Core mechanics are inspired by the old arcade shooter "Super Pang" where you can only shoot vertically but with a modern twist to it.
The Player will take role of Harry "The Exterminator" who get's called in by scientists on a spacestation where experiments on Alien Bugs have gone horrible wrong.

We showed a small prototype at Gamescom and were super excited and humbled to recieve the Big Indie Pitch Award & GDC 2014:


Here are a few first impressions:

I love this for several reasons.

Animation and action seems juicy.

Even though you're not using pixel art, you didn't resort to badly designed vector art.

Expressive character.

I support this wholeheartedly.

The only thing I don't like is that it's for mobile :/

[Cybertiger]

Thanks for the feedback @Storsorgen,

Sorry, we should have mentioned it here. We are aiming for a Steam release first and then mobile.
Going to start the greenlight process beginning of next year. Hope we can get trough.

Here is a little enemy preview:

I like it. Keep up the awesome work. Also those animations are most excellent.

[arrebeat]

Yep. That death animation is bananas! Also, I love that you have a 'limited' control scheme going on with the vertical shooting. Simple mechanics are the best cause you can create very complex and fun gameplay based on just that! Definitely following! 

[Cybertiger]

We just finished the spacecraft design:

[EdFarage]

Damn, the animations are really juicy, awesome job man
Im just a little skeptical about the gameplay like if is it going to be your standard mobile repetitive stuff?
Anyways, that doesn't matter because this looks amazing!

Some actual ingame Footage of our Game we are working on.
This will be a part of the introduction/tutorial Level.
Can't wait to show off some ingame videos soon. Working hard on it.

[Storsorgen]

I LOOOOOVE this!

Saw this on the GIF thread, I thought it was called "the bug catcher", which I thought had rather a nice contrast to it!

Looks awesome, following

These animations are sweet, so much character. That weapons showcase video on the Greenlight page really brings it all together, definitely following. 

[LStro]

Awesome! That art is fantastic, reminds me of Spaceman Spiff (from Calvin and Hobbes). Definitely gonna follow this.

[Cybertiger]

Thanks guys. Really appreciate any kind of feedback.

[Cybertiger]

Yayyy.. we have been greenlit on Steam within 6 days.
Thanks for all your support guys. YOU ROCK!!!
Here is a prop for a stage we are working on:

Are you though enough to play in your underwear?

Congrats on getting greenlit so quickly. What's gonna be the difference between all the difficulties?
