MOONS OF MADNESS - In Development

Moons of Madness is a first person, story driven cosmic horror game exploring combining Lovecraft inspiration with hard science.

You play as Shane Newehart, crew member of a small research group deployed on Mars. Set in the very near future, your goal is to help build up Mars’ first research settlement and look for answers to one of Humanity’s greatest questions: Are we alone in the universe?

Aside from the normal challenges of living on an alien planet devoid of life, you’ll have to survive supernatural occurrences that threaten to tear down the very fabric of reality. Can you hold on to your sanity or will fear of the unknown consume you?

The game will explore the real world fears of isolation and paranoia that are enhanced with supernatural elements drawn from H.P. Lovecraft’s extensive mythos and the concept of cosmicism.

STARFLUX RIVALS - In development

Starflux Rivals is a multiplayer competitive brawler inspired by games such as Super Smash Bros. and Worms. The game is easy to get into, but standing out among the crowd requires the mastery of both the fluid combat mechanics and the game’s unique gravity system.

As you jump, dash, and dig your way across the battlefield, gravity will constantly pull you towards the nearest surface. This means that you can have intense fights while walking upside down or use the physics to your advantage by orbiting around the arena to surprise your opponents.

Destructible terrain adds another wrinkle to the fold. By digging or blowing up the ground beneath your feet, Starflux Rivals provides a constantly changing battlefield to fight on. Gravity also changes as the environment does, adding an extra layer of depth to the gameplay.

There are currently three different game modes and six playable characters each with their own unique special weapon and playstyle. Pickups and environmental hazards litter the arena and spice up the action. By combining these with abilities such as block, dash, and throw, there are tons of ways to outsmart your opponent and gain an edge in combat.
