Hi All! Another month, another progress update on our upcoming twin-stick shoot'em up: A Quiver of Crows. We are finished with the gameplay aspects of the game - all 26 stages are done. We are now working on the details of the game that make it more polished such as achievements, sound, music, Steam controller, etc.

New Monsters
- Evil Eye Winged Creatures - There are currently three variations of these winged evil eye monsters in game. Their inclusion gives the game a very old-school shmup-y feel of bullet hell dodging.
- Chained monster - no screenshot of this monster yet. They are like vicious chained guard dogs.
Weapon Upgrade Level 4
This means all 4 different types of weapons now have a level 4 version. Plasma weapon has 5 simultaneous plasma bullets, the laser is now screen-length, etc.
Settings Menu
Want to play the game in windowed mode, without music, and with half the sound volume? Now you can! Controller customization is also available.
Localization
The game will be localized to Korean, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
