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

Xenocider meeting. A good start, I would say.


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.


Chui (Linux), Abel (Windows) and Carlos (Mac). Time for lots of tests, tweaks, arguments, and pizza.


So, while I'm busy with some layout design tests, apparently Abel's phone is warning him to update his watch? What a strange world we live in.

 ;)

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 copies still available! http://retrosumus.com/product/xenocider-steelbook-edition/


Accessing the bonus stage by reaching a high score or finding a specific item? More enemies or just stronger ones? Power-ups or upgrades between levels? Decisions, decisions...

My personal favourite version (all my DC games are japanese, or indies with jp-style covers):



And from our Xenocider work weekend, a couple teasers of stage 7... ;)





We have a very nice reveal coming later too :D

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! :)

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 regular DVD case (or disc sleeves or anything like that), but proper quality Steelbook, double-disc cases like the ones in this pic we shared some months ago.



Also, for those who didn't read our last update:

Although we could have kept the original (late June) release date, we’d rather polish and beta-test everything a thousand times and make sure it works flawlessly than rush the release just to meet the deadline. And that’s what we’re planning to do. We are now aiming for a Fall release.

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 this stage?

By the way, there are now only 4 copies of Xenocider Steelbook Edition left!

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!

​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 :)

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 :)
