Hello fellow survivalists, Creatures A war is going to be launching in less than two weeks! As of right now a new demo was just released! This will be our final demo update. This update includes a new gore system, balance tweaks, backend fixes, skipping adjustments, additional save slots, and more. The new gore system detects the type of circumstance that killed the player and then applies proper skin and animation adjustments at runtime to determine the type of death that should occur to the player. Feel free to let the "Triceratops" kill you a few times to see some of the new animations at work! In addition to the new gore system the team has been hard at work balancing, polishing, adjusting, and doing whatever it takes to get "Creatures Of War" ready for launch. Some of the more interesting bits to share with you all includes the boss fight adjustments I have been making personally. The Spinosaurus boss fight for example had a bridge that could be "camped on" quite easily to avoid having to fight the creature where he could use his full arsenal of attacks. I realized how easy it was to abuse this fight and came up with the idea to have the geysers in the room to produce steam that would damage the player over time if they remained on the bridge. This then forces the player to use the zipline nearby to relocate to the floor where the Spinosaurus is located, and thus the fight ensues, face to face. Simple gameplay adjustments such as the previous example have been added all over the game to make "Creatures of War" a more fun and enjoyable playthrough experience for every to take in on October 23rd. For now the team will be tirelessly working until the finish line. While there is still a lot of work left to be done, I believe it is possible to get everything strung together in time for release. I am very excited for this opportunity moving forward and can't wait to share "Creatures Of War" to everyone in the near future. Cheers, Tim Owner: Chaos Entertainment Lead Developer: Creatures Of War

Exciting Updates to "Creatures Of War" Demo! Greetings, fellow survivors! We're thrilled to share the latest improvements to the "Creatures Of War" demo. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we've been hard at work enhancing your experience. Gameplay Enhancements We've addressed the healing item concerns by introducing purchasable healing items from the merchant at a premium cost. This addition should provide a better balance to the game's challenge. To keep you on your toes, we've implemented ambush events throughout the level. These unexpected encounters will create more intense horror scenarios, breaking up the predictability of predetermined creature placements. Visual and Audio Upgrades The demo's aesthetics and immersion have been significantly improved with adjustments to lighting and art within the level. We've also updated the main menu theme, replacing it with a creepier, more gripping song that sets the tone right from the start. Item pickups now feature color-coding for easier identification: Red for weapons Green for healing items Light red for traps and grenades This change allows for quick visual recognition of item types before pickup. User Interface Improvements We've made substantial improvements to menu interactions for both keyboard/mouse and gamepad users.

Introduction: In the dark and enthralling universe of Creatures Of War, survival is paramount as players navigate through a prehistoric landscape teeming with danger and mystery. As we gear up to enhance the gaming experience, our development team has diligently identified several crucial bugs that need immediate attention. By addressing these issues, we are dedicated to providing a smoother, more immersive, and exhilarating gameplay adventure for all our passionate players. Join us as we delve into the details of the bugs set to be exterminated in the coming weeks and the comprehensive strategies we're implementing to ensure a seamless gaming experience. Known Bugs and Issues: [PLAYER_JUMPING_ELEVATOR] - The issue of a fatal auto-death when jumping off a descending elevator due to discrepancies in the elevator's velocity calculations is at the forefront of our bug-fixing agenda. By reevaluating the velocity calculations and the interaction between the player and the elevator, we aim to ensure a seamless gaming experience without any untimely deaths. [PLAYER_JUMPING] - Addressing the discrepancies in the player's jump behavior on different types of slopes is a key priority. By recalibrating the jump velocities on both upward and downward slopes, we aim to create a more consistent and balanced gameplay experience. Additionally, we are committed to resolving the jump stutter issue encountered in specific environmental contexts. [JUMPING_THROUGH_NODE_MAP] - Rectifying the issue of players inadvertently falling through the level during specific jumping sequences at the final tram station demands a comprehensive review of the nodemap and collider settings. We are dedicated to ensuring that the nodemap effectively restrains the player's movements, preventing any unintended falls beyond the designated game terrain. [SPIDER_DAMAGE_AFTER_DEATH] - The persistence of player damage upon encountering the "Spider Ambush Variants" demands a thorough examination of the relevant game scripts. By scrutinizing the parameters related to the "Fall_Attack_State" and ensuring appropriate state transitions, we aim to provide a smoother and more coherent combat experience for our players. [CONTROLLER_ADJUSTMENTS] - Enhancing the overall control scheme to optimize gameplay efficiency is critical. By reassigning specific actions to appropriate controller buttons and addressing the inconsistencies related to the use of certain controls, we seek to provide a more intuitive and immersive control experience for our players. Implementation Strategies and Demo Update: To address these critical bugs and enhance the overall gaming experience, our development team is actively integrating comprehensive bug-fixing strategies into the current build pipeline. We are committed to thorough testing and validation to ensure that the upcoming fixes seamlessly integrate with the game's existing framework. Moreover, we are excited to announce that the most recent demo builds with these bug fixes will be available for download on the Creatures Of War Steam Page, offering players an early glimpse into the optimized and enhanced gameplay experience. Conclusion: As we embark on this journey of enhancing the Creatures Of War gaming experience, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated player community for their continued support and feedback. With our unwavering commitment to delivering a truly immersive and seamless gaming adventure, we look forward to providing an unparalleled and unforgettable experience in the world of Creatures Of War. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as we continue to evolve and refine the game, setting new standards for the survival horror genre.

The creatures of war demo is a few weeks away from completion. We have been polishing the interactions between the player and the merchant to make purchasing, selling, and upgrading weapons / items as seamless as possible. The level itself has been balanced many times to make sure that we are not going to run into any difficulty spikes that would be deemed unfair by the player. In the last few weeks the demo has undergone a major lighting change. At first rooms were unlit and looked rather bland, with the new lighting adjustments, rooms that were once uninspiring now instill fear and wonder. Take a look for yourself at the adjustments that were made.




The demo will be the first major marketing push for Creatures Of War since the announcement of Creatures of War. Any and all feedback from the demo will be greatly appreciated.

[previewyoutube=rhQPykRCiQk;full][/previewyoutube] The Creatures Of War gameplay trailer is finally here. If you were wondering why the forums have been so quiet, well the team and I have been hard at work polishing the core features. These pillars have finally gotten to the point where I thought a gameplay trailer would properly capture the essence of Creatures Of War. In each new clip the player is wielding a different weapon. We focused on giving the player a lot of different weapons to choose from to allow you to survive in the style that best suits your playstyle. That is why we showcased the sniper head shots, the cryogrenade freezing the Velociraptor, and the sub-machine guns. We also showed a lot different creatures because we wanted to showcase how diverse the enemies can be. In one of the clips you are fighting a mighty Spinosaurus 10X the size of you, in another sequence you are shooting a compy that is 1/5 your size with a shotgun. Yet whether the enemy you are encountering is big or small, in the right circumstances, anything can overwhelm you. At a later date we will create another trailer that will focus on the survival horror elements of the game. Resource management, sad survivor stories discovered through audio and text logs, and spooky areas that lead you into tense hair raising situations. Let me know what you think of the trailer!

Creatures Of War is a violent, action-packed, Metroidvania-inspired, adventure RPG. Youll explore a massive island, savagely combatting unfathomable monstrosities in 2D souls/doom combat. No Mercy. Kill, Upgrade, or Perish. Electrifying Combat: Unleash the power of your arsenal. Swiftly dodge your foe's attack and counter with a shotgun blast to the face. Scope in from distance and blast your enemy into ruin with a bolt action rifle. Flanked from two sides?
