GIGASWORD News

Hey Sword Masters,

GIGASWORD participated in PAX East with a demo of GIGASWORD! Jack, the developer of GIGASWORD, was at PAX East and they had an amazing time there. You know what, I’ll have him say how PAX East went.

Hey giga-friends!

Pax East has come and gone, and what an amazing four days it was! A couple of highlights:

• I met my friends from Akupara!!
  
• we had a CONSTANT LINE to play the demo???
  
• I dressed up as Ezra
  
• I got invited to showcase the game…at a rave?
  
• Saw a bunch of familiar faces
  
• Met some IRL Kickstarter backers!!
  
• And last but certainly not least: GIGASWORD won FIVE Best In Show awards.
  

I am so humbled by all the praise that GIGASWORD received this past weekend. I want to give a massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth to play the demo; it was so nice meeting all of you, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the game! I also want to thank my friends here at Akupara; they put together an amazing booth, and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. Lastly, thanks to all my fans and supporters who have helped GIGASWORD get this far. This game wouldn’t be what it is today without all of you.

Well, it’s back to work for me! I can’t wait for you to all get to play the full version of GIGASWORD soon. Thanks again for sticking by me on this journey. I love you all very much!

We couldn’t be any prouder of Jack, his accomplishments, and the team had a wonderful time being with you in support of GIGASWORD!

If you missed GIGASWORD at PAX East, don’t fret, there is a demo available for you to try on Steam!

Hey Sword Masters,

I talked with Jack, the solo developer of GIGASWORD, on what they had been developing for the game!

Hey Giga-fans! I've been working on some new areas for GIGASWORD, and that means new background art! I've really been pushing myself with these newest assets, as I really want them to stand out in the player's memory while they're exploring the Nestrium. Some of these areas, such as the fiery Volmire, will serve as integral parts of Ezra's adventure, while others, like the blue-skied Astral Realm, will be entirely optional and thus much harder to find. Think you have what it takes to uncover all of the Nestrium's secrets?

Hey sword masters,

My name is Joseph and I am the community manager for Akupara Games. I’m super excited to announce that Akupara Games has partnered up with Studio Hybrid to publish Gigasword!

Gigasword is an adventure metroidvania where you must balance the weight of the Gigasword on your adventure. The Gigasword is not only great for slashing your enemies but also allows you to unlock doors and push down pressure plates. However with the weight of carrying such a huge sword does come with the downside of your movement being impacted. Will you be able to conquer the rooms that lay ahead of you?

Check out the demo and if you enjoy it, please wishlist Gigasword!

I can’t wait to reveal more of Gigasword but for now my adventure ends right here. Hope to see you in the next set of rooms.
