Hello Indie DB!
Admittedly, and regrettably, we have been lax when it comes to updating our presence here on Indie DB. However that does not mean we haven't been busy working on some new titles! For those who are following, THANK YOU! We are continuously in awe with your waves of support and also with the brilliant games fellow indie developers and publishers have released in the past several years. If you haven't yet, be sure to follow us on Twitter (@screenwavegames) or join the conversation in our public Discord. We love talking about video games and love talking to people who love to talk about video games!
We are all very painfully aware of the direct impact that COVID19 has had on both our personal and work lives, and, at Screenwave in particular, we really miss meeting fans during conventions and other public events. Too Many Games' Game Swap this past weekend was a HUGE success and not only were we able to showcase some of our newest demoes to hungry congoers but also had some very insightful conversations.
Recently, on the conversation of conventions, we also entered a GAME JAM on itch.io hosted by YoYo Games with the extremely vibrant theme of neon! In just under 2 weeks, our team developed a fully-functional, aesthetically pleasing title, aptly named N.E.O.N.: Never-Ending Onslaught of Nerds. In this addictive arcade-style romp, you play as a cosplayer, posing for photos with adoring fans; but watch out! If one of these "nerds" touches you, things will get AWKWARD. Although the judges are still deliberating on the winners of this contest, we just wanted to express how much we learned from the experience and how many incredibly talented designers/developers we discovered! Good luck everyone!
So, since it's been awhile, grab your favorite retro system (I'll be bringing my N64) and gather around the fire... LET'S CHAT.
2021 RELEASES
We are already deep into 2021 as I type this. As such, some notable releases have passed, including:
ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD I&II DELUXE for STEAM, NINTENDO SWITCH, PS4||PS5, XBOX|X|S||XBOX ONE
Released March 19, 2021
With the overwhelmingly positive feedback on both Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures and Angry Video Game Nerd II: Assimilation, we decided to bring fans the ultimate experience; two revamped and remastered platformers that will bring out your inner Nerd rage. Available for digital purchase, AVGN I&II Deluxe features an all-new final chapter, new characters, an updated game engine, and faster respawning. Be sure to check out the game's page on Indie DB here to look at some "shi**y screenshots" and check out this "bull****" trailer:
EAGLE ISLAND TWIST for STEAM, NINTENDO SWITCH, PS4||PS5, XBOX X|S|| XBOX ONE
Released May 28, 2021
We teamed up with Pixelnicks once more, addressing much of the feedback from fans on the original Eagle Island! A year and a half later, Eagle Island Twist was born! Featuring over 45 hand-crafted stages of single-player, pick-up-and-play action, players can expect to battle fauna and flora, master retro-style platforming, and defeat 12 huge bosses, all in crisp, pixelated detail. Eagle Island Twist is a massive DLC expansion for Eagle Island, and, as a result, both games are included in the digital purchase (not to mention, if you already own Eagle Island, you will get Eagle Island Twist for free).
2021 FREE DEMO DROPS
SO, that covers what we have released since we all got together. But what about the titles we have yet to release? There's many, and each have their own demo available now on STEAM for FREE!
LUME and the SHIFTING VOID || Release Date: TBA
Developer(s): Howltide, Freak Zone Games, Screenwave Media
Join Lume in a fight against the other-dimensional hordes of The Shifting Void with her experimental Holostrikers in this platform-action adventure!
LOVE 3 || Release Date: Late 2021
Developer: Fred Wood (Mokuzai Studio)
LOVE 3 is a precision platformer where you control fiveEight, a lone survivor searching for others in a mechanical, apocalyptic world. Face challenging obstacles, discover hidden secrets, and try to find hope within the hopeless as you overcome each new danger.
IRON MEAT || Release Date: TBA
Developer: Ivan Suvorov (Razz)
Iron Meat is a apocalyptical run-and-gun shooter featuring an onslaught of mechanics ripped from the dawn of the NES.
Well, that's all for now! I am probably forgetting something here... and if you are in the Washington D.C. (USA) area, be sure to say "hi" at OTAKON 2021 this August!
Be well and be happy!
