Developer posts and news about this game.
I have not update Anomalies in a long time. But it's been about ten (10) years since the original game was released so I thought it was a good time to put something new out there. Why Dungeonomalies? It's a bit of a long story, so I figure I will start from the beginning. It all
Ever since I started Anomalies, and added sounds to it, I have always been fascinated with some of the music it produces. I've been compiling these songs into different albums, some of which are available here on Steam. "Oddities" is the latest of these records. It is actually a
This fellow has shared his Anomalies, some randomized, some hand crafted, on his YouTube channel. I really love seeing some of the things people experience with this game, as it can sometimes even surprise me, the game developer. Here's another one, part of a presentation of Proc
I have added another two guides to the community hub. The first one covers how to use the Options Menu in Anomalies. It is just a video guide at this time, but I plan to write another article about it as well. You may notice that I do not discuss the Harmonious Sounds Only, or th
I have added a guide that has a video demo of how to influence the way Anomalies makes music. Check it out here: You can also read the same information in a text format, with images on IndieDB here:
Some of you may not notice any changes. They are indeed very slight. Default Shaders I have made the bloom and outline shaders active by default. This will only effect new players, as your existing settings will over-ride this. Remember, you can always alter the shaders by access
I have updated Anomalies to the latest Acknex engine (A8) which should make the game more compatible with newer operating systems. I also added a couple options which you can modify (If you want to) in the "settings_new.cfg" file that the game creates. The last three entries are:

A player recently pointed out that the German Version of Anomalies did not activate Steam Achievements. I realized that I had not updated the German version in quite some time, so I apologize about that. The German version is now updated. You may have to go to "Anomalies > Pro
Did you know you can save and share Anomalies? if you find one you like, use the "save" button to give it a name. Then you can access that saved file via "Anomalies > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files" to send it to other users. They would have to place it in
Since Anomalies was released back in 2016, I have gotten a lot of great feedback on it. It was my first officially released game, so I did not really have a great grasp on where the market stood on games like it. As a result, I think I over-estimated its value a bit. Anomalies' n
For most of us, Anomalies is just weird enough. However, there are among us, the super-weird - the people for whom weird is just the beginning. It is for these people that I have added a new option in Anomalies. It's called: "The Advanced Spawn Menu." Basically, once it's activat
Congratulations! If you are someone who purchased the Anomalies Music Collection, you just got the latest Anomalies album. The fifth Anomalies album contains thirteen new tunes for your listening enjoyment. Remember, you can sample all the Anomalies albums here on my Bandcamp pag
As a game and artistic project, I am very happy with Anomalies. I never expected it to reach as far as it has when I started. In fact, it started off as a simple algorithm to create nebulas for my other game Star Explorers. When I saw that the nebulas were beginning to look a bit

I have made an important update, that may not make much of a difference initially, but will greatly effect the future of Anomalies. The saving protocol for Anomalies has been completely rewritten, so it should now be possible for me to update the game, without effecting the user'
