Howdy!
Time for another progress update on our upcoming twin-stick shoot’em up: A Quiver of Crows.
New Trailer
We have a new trailer! It’s been a while since our Greenlight trailer, so we figured it would be good to have a fresh trailer full of all the latest stages and weapons in the game.
Co-op Developer Let’s Play Video
We finally polished the co-op gameplay functionality – check out our first co-op let’s play! It also features a Sunset stage, new sound effects, toucans, beetles, and the latest weapons.
Award Finalist
A Quiver of Crows is a MomoCon 2016 Indie Award Showcase Finalist! We’re also going to be showing the game at MomoCon in Atlanta, Georgia. Come by and play the game if you’re attending the convention.
Latest Additions
We’re adding more content into the game all the time now. The latest enemies we’ve added are the:
- Toucan
- Beetle
This enemy can become ghostly from time to time during which it doesn’t take any damage. Pro tip: if you use the laser beam, you can hit this enemy when it’s in a ghostly state.
Don’t be fooled by this thing’s sluggishness. Let it get close enough and it will dart at you, horns first!
We’ve also got some new upgrades:
- Weapon Level 3
- Shield
With this upgrade, each of the weapons gains an additional spread or feature. For example, the plasma weapon now shoots 3 simultaneous plasma bullets.
Pick this up and your crow is protected by up to three enemy attacks.
Last, but not least, we’ve been getting the Sunset level into the game. People seem to really like the pink colors in this one:
