We've been quiet for too long here (not on our social media profiles), but we'd like to share this preview article by Tom Charnock at The Dreamcask Junkyard after he played the 4th beta
Our latest beta is playable right now at Gamescom thanks to Retrospiel, so Xenocider is sharing their booth with the likes of Antarex by 1985alternativo, Tanglewood, Alice Dreams Tournament, Saber Rider and more :) Great work. Is it possible to make the road go up/down like in Road Rash for the Gen...
The volcanic Caves of Kvika are here! Check out the 10th episode of our Dev Diaries , where we reveal all the little tributes Xenocider pays to Sega classics! From Sonic to Shinobi to Streets of Rage! http://retrosumus.com/2017/08/dev-diaries-10-xenocider-dreamcast-caves-kvika/ https://youtu.be/rM-T...
Sakura's Realm looks great, but the combat and the obstacles are divided in separated sections (lots of spiked logs with no enemies, lots of enemies with no obstacles). I suggest trying out some diverse combinations of enemies and obstacles together, to put a greater focus on strategy & timing. Oh,...
Want to learn more about how Xenocider is shaping up? Take a look at our latest report! Supercharged with photos, videos and, what the hell, tons of interesting links, if I may say so myself :) http://retrosumus.com/2017/08/xenocider-update-euskal-encounter-live-interview-enemy-compendium-audio-teas...
Can you guess what Juanjo's influences were when creating the music for this stage? Maybe it's just me, but I hear elements of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" in there. A couple users mentioned that and we were amazed, as apparently one of the most famous themes from the classic Columns is ba...
After a great weekend at RetroEuskal where we presented out latest beta (full report coming to out blog), here you have a new audio teaser for the volcanic wolrd of Kvika : a dark, suffocating hell infested with magma beasts. Can you guess what Juanjo's influences were when creating the music for th...
As you know, PAL Edition has been sold out for some time. Last few copies of the Steelbook Edition available now: http://retrosumus.com/product/xenocider-steelbook-edition/ So just as a reminder, as we've been receiving some inquiries about this, we won't be using cheap tin boxes containing a regula...
Quite a long post this time: a report on our recent work weekend, a reminder about the last few shown stages, and a couple new reveals: Shinobi-like bonus stages! :) http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/xenocider-demo-bonus-stage.png http://retrosumus.com/2017/06/xenocider-sakuras-realm-...
My personal favourite version (all my DC games are japanese, or indies with jp-style covers): http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xenocider-regular-edition-placeholder-2.jpg And from our Xenocider work weekend, a couple teasers of stage 7... ;) http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2...
http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/xenocider-steelbook-edition-placeholder.jpg One of our first "real" physical tests for the Steelbook Edition. High quality vinyl over a slight relief on the surface (both front and back covers). Other options being explored at the moment :) Only 8 co...
Xenocider meeting. A good start, I would say. http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/xenocider-meeting-2.jpg Juanjo shows off some really cool equipment none of us understands a word about. He's currently working on the music for the bonus stages. http://retrosumus.com/wp-content/uploads/2...
Hey, Falco Girgis here. I just wanted to let you guys know how much I truly, sincerely respect and admire the fact that despite the Kickstarter, you guys never faltered or even hesitated to kick ass... Even I have to admit that with a set back like that for ES, I would have had a hard time picking ...
New stage, new enemies (lots of them actually), a huge influence from the Shinobi series (both design and music wise), some nice transparency effects here and there and... Sakura's Realm is here :D https://youtu.be/je0r6m03GjY More info: http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2017/05/new-xenocider-ga...
