Hey All! Hope your August is off to a good start! Here’s a summary of all the progress we made over the past month working on our upcoming twin-stick shmup: A Quiver of Crows.

Stages! Stages! Stages!

This is going to be a recurring theme for us now. We are in stage building mode and we’re almost done with all the stages for the Dawn level. In the Dawn level there’s lots of lush greens and blue skies. Some stages are outdoors while others are held entirely inside of large trees or underground. We’re also throwing in a couple of battle arenas to mix up the gameplay.

Map View

In A Quiver of Crows you have 360 degree range of motion and you can explore any part of a stage in any order you want. In case you get lost though, we decided to go with a fog of war enabled map view so you can see where you’ve been, but not the places you’ve yet to visit.

Localization

We’d love to support every language! But we can’t =/ So after careful consideration we decided to go with the following languages: Spanish, Russian, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), and of course English.

Interview!

We had out first interview! Thanks to J.A. over at Obsolete Gamer for making our first interview experience a pleasant one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLtN-gbT-0zFIf7J4Q_MGlOt3FACDS7BD2&v=Wg3wCXDxFfY

Stay Tuned!

That’s it for this update! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at crows@sheado.net or start a discussion in our community hub. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @AQuiverOfCrows for more frequent updates!

A Quiver of Crows - Linux [164.1 M]

A twin-stick shmup set in a grim world cursed by demons and ghouls.

Frantic Battles in a Grim World

Unlike most shmups, this world is made up of flesh, bones, and dirt instead of the common rigid objects such as ships set in space.
Each enemy type has a unique set of behaviors.
Most foes do not follow preset patterns. Instead, they try to hunt you down.
Some enemies fly in close for melee combat. Others will shoot from a far away range.

Co-op Twin-Stick Action

The game blends the insanity of shmups with the free range of motion of twin-stick shooters.
Find a friend. Find a couch. Have tons of fun with the optional single-screen couch co-op!

Upgradeable Weapons, Bombs, and Shields

Collect and enhance a variety of weapons. Influenced by traditional shmups, watch as your weapons’ firing trajectory and pattern change with each upgrade.
From heat seeking quills to things that go BOOM, collect them all and use them to crush your foes!
Upgrade your shields to withstand relentless attacks.

Coming to Windows, Mac, Linux

Best played with a twin-stick controller. Steer with the left stick, aim with the right.
Never fear! You can also use your keyboard and mouse.
