🎉 Game Is Releasing Now: Creatures of War! 🎉
The wait is finally over! Creatures of War, the highly anticipated 2D Jurassic Survival Horror game, is here! Prepare yourself for an exhilarating journey into a world where danger lurks around every corner, and survival is your only option.
Face the Ultimate Predators
In Creatures of War, you’ll encounter massive dinosaurs that can take you out at any moment. Every step you take could lead to a deadly encounter with lethal hybrid creatures like the Giant Asian Hornoraptor and the terrifying Stoprion. These monstrous foes are not just formidable; they are relentless predators that will eviscerate you in half a second if given the chance. In this game, danger is more than an understatement—it’s a constant, heart-pounding reality!
Epic Gameplay Experience
Expect an action-packed adventure that will take approximately 15-20 hours for your initial playthrough. But that's just the beginning! The game delivers exceptionally high value for its cost, offering incredible replay-ability thanks to a vast array of weapons. You can experiment with countless weapon combinations to conquer challenges in multiple ways. This means you can beat the game using one set of weapons and then return for another playthrough with an entirely different arsenal, keeping the gameplay fresh and exciting each time!
Stunning Visuals Crafted with Precision
The artwork in Creatures of War has been meticulously created in Photoshop, featuring exceptionally high-fidelity sprites that can reach up to 8,000 pixels at times. This level of detail allows for stunning visuals that showcase intricate striations in the musculature of the enemies you fight and the bumps and folds within the environment. It’s a visual experience that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in a 2D game!
Immersive Sound Design
The sound effects have been built from the ground up, with most of them custom-created to represent each enemy, interaction, and experience within the game on a deeply personal level. We worked hand-in-hand with combat operative Mike Ludwig to understand what he would be experiencing at any given moment, crafting gorgeous SFX that enhance your emotional connection to the gameplay.
Dynamic Musical Score
The music has been meticulously composed by analyzing each level and identifying the emotions players might feel under different circumstances. Did you just survive a massive ambush? What music should accompany that moment? Are you in the middle of an intense fight? We’ve ensured that our soundtrack dynamically adjusts to amplify feelings of dread and intensity throughout your journey. This organic, brick-by-brick method stays true to our roots while enhancing your overall experience.
Optimized for All Systems
We’ve carefully tested and optimized the backend coding to ensure that Creatures of War runs smoothly on lower-end systems without sacrificing quality. This survival horror RPG draws inspiration from classics like Resident Evil 4, featuring hundreds of systems working together seamlessly to immerse you in this prehistoric nightmare. Thanks to our attention to detail, you’ll be able to enjoy this game even on devices like the Steam Deck, all while experiencing stunning 8K resolution images downscaled to 4K.
Engaging Narrative Inspired by Horror Masterpieces
The narrative of Creatures of War draws inspiration from iconic horror masterpieces such as Alien, Dead Space, Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis. The story centers around a key target: the president's son, who goes missing during a tactical mission. A combat team is dispatched to find him, but things go horribly wrong. Enter advanced combat operative Mike Ludwig, who must unravel this chaotic mess. Expect twists and surprises that lead seamlessly into potential sequels!
Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Future
While the future remains uncertain, my time spent working on Creatures of War represents a significant chapter in my life that I will never forget. I dream of creating sequels, as the game concludes in a way that paves the path for future narratives. However, I also recognize the need to focus on my personal life and navigate the financial uncertainties that come with being an indie game developer. The success of this game—through sales, reviews, and community reception—is crucial for me as I aim to maintain high standards within our gaming community. I am committed to continuously patching and improving the game post-launch to ensure it remains top-notch for players everywhere.
A Heartfelt Thank You
