Topic: ANATHEMA - Classicvania Coming to Steam

Yes, it is a scythe on a chain.

Hello everyone.

We have received our new poster art for Anathema, and we wanted to share it with everyone here.  We were lucky enough to commission a talented artist that we really dug the style he brings for this "cover art".  Coincidentally, you will be able to hear some of the music I have composed in his game soon.  His game is on Steam in the Early Access program but it doesn't have any of my music yet.  Show some love at http://store.steampowered.com/app/386200/.  It's a very fun zombie tower defense game that is in its early stages.

I've shrunk the poster down to 1280x1920 as the original resolution of 7200x10800 is just WAY too much to post here.  The best part is this looks amazing framed on my wall. 

Enjoy everyone!

EDIT: Fun fact, I should also say the reason we went this route with the cover art is my unending infatuation with the hand-drawn/hand-painted artwork of 80's horror movies and games.

Diggin' the art! I like how the artist made Anathema's body look. She's got them feminine curves while sporting a strong build. Perfect

Yes that indeed looks badass!

Oh my god, it is gorgeous! You plan to release it as a bonus within the game folder when it releases on Steam?

[piscesdreams]

Hmm, we never considered that option. We may do that.

[piscesdreams]

Not much to say, just a very early WIP enemy - working on the armor below.  But I will share a new screenshot.

Looking awesome man!

Thanks very much man!

So, even though it may be against my better judgement, I figured I would show a glimpse of the game in motion using one of the earlier areas.  I want to save the newer areas for the trailer.  But anyway, not all environmental areas are finished, animations to refine and there are still places to insert enemies...blah blah...unfinished...disclaimers...be sure to watch in HD/60fps.

Damn dude, I can only get so erect.

Everything is spot-on. The sound effect of the attack, in special, gives me such a satisfactory feelling! The animations, of course, are perfect.

It's like a love child of Bloodrayne betrayal and castlevania (OF COURSE!).
I wasn't too keen on the pre-renders, but in motion it looks pretty damn good.

Haha, that means we haven't stepped it enough.  When erection thresholds are broken, THAT'S when we are making/have made a great game!  Thanks a lot, for real.  I've been wondering for a long time how the game as it is now would be received.  I've tried very hard to make sure that combat feels meaty, precise and responsive.  I've also put a lot of care into the sound effects to help bring everything through.

If we had the artists that worked on Bloodrayne Betrayal, I'd be a very happy man.  I've never wanted to do pre-rendered sprites, but it has been the only artistic route that was available to us.  Luckily, animations have significantly improved by going to a motion capture system.  I still see a lot of room for improvement, but that comes with time and polish.
