I rarely post anything anymore, mostly because I'm involved in a ton of stuff I can't talk much about. But this I can.
SOPHSTAR is a vertical shoot'em up game I have been working on with team Banana Bytes over the past two years. The team is the very meaning of the word "indie": Literally not a single outside dollar invested in it, but even beyond that, most members are greenhorns and this is their first foray in game development. The game was made on everyone's spare time and now it's about to release. Please, watch our trailer:
The game will release for $9,99 in a week from now (Feb 18th). Here's the Steam page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1410440/Sophstar/The game
is planned to release on other platforms too.We need all help we can get: Show it to your friends, put it on your wishlist. If I can get this team to do well, you
damn better believe I can make them put out some amazing stuff in the future.
Special thanks to two people from this forum: Chernabogue, who made the MIND BLOWING remix of Sophstar's level 1 theme, and Dracula9 who created a very specific sound effect used on the trailer that ties the intro with the trailer's body. If you're a game developer and is not hiring these two yet for your stuff, you are missing out BIG time.
