Slashbang! Think Sonic Adventure meets Half-Life, with a hint of Metal Gear Rising and Jet Set Radio.

Get ready! It'll be fast!

CLUNKY?

Slashbang's next update will COMPLETELY overhaul the claw mechanic! No more toggles, just instantaneous slicing, with other improvements as well.

Any room for me? A few of these devs actually follow me already lol. Glad you're making one of these lists, think it will be helpful.

We've been telling the DPW to take our rusty fences, then they go and dump 'em in our game! Unbelievable!

Back to work!

I got lots of valuable feedback for Slashbang during SAGE, including from people playing, team members, and even streamers.

I'm going to try to make what I have here shine before I move onto bigger and better things.

Stay tuned!

And while that's a real shame, I ultimately think everything that happened was worth it, because even when things didn't go well I learned a lot.

Here's to version 0.3! Coming after a long well deserved break.

Be sure to follow my itch profile, Discord, or Bluesky to keep tabs! (Links in profile)

PowerUpT @powerupt.bsky.social · 25d

I think most people I've seen play it really enjoyed the demo, which is great! Every compliment really made my day, whatever that day was.

And there's definitely room for improvement. I want to make sweeping changes to tutorialize the game more, because some people just didn't get how it worked.

Sorry for the bug while wallrunning in Slashbang. The dev responsible for it will be drawn and quartered, but we're still waiting on the horses.

Yesterday was my fifth year anniversary of playing Metal Gear games.
I started with Metal Gear Rising.
Great series.

Also, a very niche boomshoot just left early access. Hyperviolent is for the kind of sickos who think that a fusion of the original DOS System Shock and Descent 1 sounds like a cool idea.

There's almost no concessions to modern, slick & polished game design. This is trying to evoke real retro vibes

HYPERVIOLENT on Steam

An ancient evil has awoken in the depths of a remote mining asteroid, stirred from its slumber by man's lust for power. Unaware, you answer a distress call and become stranded, surrounded by monstrous...

You definitely need character models.

But no joke, once I got my bearings with how to animate and imporvit properly, it only took ~3-4 days of casual work to make one scene. And that's including crazy camera movements and such.

Definitely doable! You'll get there!

A goal of my game is to get creative with composition. Definitely do the same!

It's Sonic Adventure meets an FPS with destructible props, tailored movement, and a comedic thriller narrative!
