Exophobia News

Thanks to my publisher, PM Studios, Exophobia is part of their line up of upcoming games at IGN Live, described by IGN as "an epic three day event entirely focused on video games, movies, TV shows, and comics".

If you're in Los Angeles you can buy tickets to the event here: https://www.ign.com/live/

I got to admit, it's really cool to have my game among so many cool things :D A little bit of footage of the game is going to show up on the broadcast.
Sadly, I'm not going to be there, but if you find my game in the PM Studios booth please post a picture of it!!

Have fun!

Hey everyone!
No news since the release date announcement, but believe me, we've been hard at work! I'm excited for the release and meanwhile I've been spreading the word about the game as much as I can, and this is haaard!
Here's something cool.

A FPS showcase is happening this saturday June 8th by the really cool guy ZlimBratSki along with a Steam event with discounts and demos starting June 5th and ending June 12th. If FPS games are your thing, you don't want to miss it!

Also, if you can show your support for Exophobia during the showcase, that would be awesome!
See you there.

Announcement was a bit late for FPS Fest, but here it is!
Exophobia is launching 3 months from now. *party noises*

Check out the new trailer: Exophobia Release Date Trailer at PM Studios

Development finished a while ago, but this extra time ensures we can deliver the best experience as it can be on all platforms, and to prepare for our physical releases! I didn't want players who preordered to have to wait while digital players were already having fun with the game. That didn't feel right, so we made the decision to release everything in the same date!

Still very anxious for all your reactions to the full game! I had some really good feedback already from lucky testers, so everything is looking good to go!
See you soon everyone,
Zarc

Now until the end of FPS Fest, you can watch some streamers going through the available demo.
I want to thank them all individually for playing the game and letting me use their recordings!
Here's a list of invited streamers:

• @exilecast
• @foamztv
• @emisaki
• @sproyler
  
• @samusin

If you like any of them, be sure to follow their work!
Have a great weekend

Hey there!
As promised and part of FPS Fest, the demo has been sligthly improved to better reflect the quality of the final game. Testing has been crucial to find these small quirks and how to adjust them. You may not notice any differences, so let me present you the changes in this new version:

• Some language errors fixed.
  
• Disk image in the corner to indicate a loading time.
  
• "Sci-fi" font option is now a more readable font in the terminal.
  
• Map no longer starts to fade right away. Only when it reaches the last point in the battery.
  
• Clickable buttons and levers now blink to indicate you can use an action on them.
  
• You can now dash forward even if not holding a direction. Also, more i-frames!
  
• Difficulty curve in the first part of the game has been adjusted. Less enemies before you get the first upgrade (for me where the fun of the game comes).
  
• The boss now stays locked in the same vulnerable move until you hit. I made it that way so you can more easily guess what you have to do and so you don't have to wait until he cycles through all moves again to hit him.
  

Can't even tell how long I have been revising this first part of the game, but I know it's the most important part to get right, so I hope these changes please all of you and incentivize you to keep playing!
Let me know what you think.
More news coming soon!
