DEVOLVER DIGITAL ANNOUNCES SHADOW WARRIOR

Mon, 20 May 2013 07:36:00 -0500

Independent developer Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset) and rogue game publisher Devolver Digital (Serious Sam 3: BFE, Hotline Miami, LUFTRAUSERS) are thrilled to announce their collaboration on Shadow Warrior, a complete reimagining of the 1997 3D Realms cult classic. Shadow Warrior is a bold new vision of the 1997 cult classic, reimagined with a blend of modern design, inventive combat mechanics, and a contemporary retelling of Lo Wang’s comical rise to legend.

“The team here at Flying Wild Hog are longtime fans of the original Shadow Warrior with its unique combat innovations and distinct setting not seen in shooters at that time,” said Michal Szustak, Studio Head at Flying Wild Hog. “The classic arcade-style shooter is a genre we genuinely love, so redesigning the world of Shadow Warrior and the character of Lo Wang has been a fantastic project for the team.”

Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun, Lo Wang, who is ordered by his employer to track down and acquire a legendary blade known as the Nobitsura Kage. Forced into a timeless battle, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm, pushing our world to the brink of destruction. Aided by Hoji, a banished spirit from this mysterious world, Lo Wang must use a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to discover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish the encroaching forces back into the darkness.

“If you read this far you should know that you tangle with twin female assassins and slice off demon heads to use as weapons,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “It’s super fucking rad.”

Shadow Warrior is set to launch on PC via Steam and other digital download service this fall with next-gen console release in 2014. For updated information on development, follow @_ShadowWarrior on Twitter or visit www.shadowwarrior.com.

Devolver Digital Partners with Zilla Enterprises on Blade Analyzer Pro Software

Wed, 08 May 2013 12:38:00 -0500

Kyoto, Japan – Independent video game label Devolver Digital and global conglomerate Zilla Enterprises have announced a strategic partnership to bring sword collection software Blade Analyzer Pro to a worldwide audience via the Steam digital distribution service.

Originally developed for private use by Zilla Enterprises founder and renown sword collector Orochi Zilla, Blade Analyzer Pro uses your PC’s camera to scan any sword or knife in your collection and cross-reference it with a robust database of blades to analyze and identify any item in your collection. Users can then organize their collection by sword type, period of use, price, and rarity to create a customized online catalog to share with other sword collectors around the world.

“The curators of my private collection have used a form of this software for several years in an effort to help me throuroughly catalog and complete my collection,” said Orochi Zilla, founder and chairman of Zilla Enterprises. “It’s my personal hope that the widespread use this more consumer-friendly version of the software will help me find and acquire some of the more rare blades that have eluded me over the years.”

The first private beta of Blade Analyzer Pro is currently underway with some of the world’s top private sword collectors and historiacal musuems. The final release version of Blade Analyzer Pro is set to launch Fall 2013 on PC and is currently up on Steam Greenlight for review and discussion.

Making it Rain (with Steam Coupons)

Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:26:00 -0500

This week we starting sending discount coupons to the Steam inventories of our fans to thank them for their support and help cross promote with both our games and other indie games.

The first is a historical milestone in “digital cross-promotional discount technology” as anyone that purchased Serious Sam 3: BFE through Steam will receive a discount code for Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition and vice versa. We thought that people that love old-school badasses might also like other old-school badasses.

For the second coupon we partnered with Eighty Eight games to offer a coupon for their awesome game 10000000 for anyone that bought our beloved Dungeon Hearts through Steam and in turn anyone that owns 10000000 received a coupon for Dungeon Hearts! Unique RPGs ahoy!

If this works well (and so far it’s been outstanding) we plan on doing this periodically to help spread the word and share the wealth! Thanks again for all your support and we can’t wait to share what’s next from Devolver Digital!

*Updated to note that coupons are awarded to those who purchased the games through Steam.

_____________________________________________________

Hello,

I come from a small village under the sea. I come to you today for two raisons, but I will only tell you one. I hope you can live with that.

I wanted to make a trade with you. Currently I have a virtual dog named Jack Seen here :

He’s the one in the front. The one photobombing him is named Eric, and he’s a piece of shit kid, though he can’t be blamed because his parents got divorced (Always stay together for the kids).

Jack is the head of his class, and I believe he is the GOAT (Greatest of all time). He should be certainly worthy of a trade.

I am willing to trade you this virtual pet, wich I have linked. In exchange I would like a Steam Key for Hotline Miami. Eric being a piece of shit ate my credit card.

In any event, if you would like to accept the trade for this virtual dog please send me a Steam key for the game. If not, please return my virtual dog by repling with it.

Thanks for you time.

Update: Dennis Wedin from Dennaton Games made some virtual dog food for the dogs. :P

INDIE GEM DUNGEON HEARTS LAUNCHES ON STEAM AND iPAD

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:57:00 -0500

Cube Roots and Devolver Digital have thrown down the gauntlet for puzzle game fans around the world and unleashed the spectacularly vibrant Dungeon Hearts on PC, Mac, and iPad. Devolver Digital’s newest indie release blends the strategic battle mechanics of a traditional JPRG with the frantic pace of a match-three puzzle game to create an imaginative and challenging experience unlike anything else. Combine dozens of different runes along the relentlessly flowing Fatestream and unleash powerful attacks and devastating combos on a colorful cast of foes. Strategy and speed are essential in conquering the Dark One as you build up your heroic team’s abilities and unlock special attacks and magical spells in this truly unique adventure.

“The term ‘unique’ is probably the most overused word in marketing copy for games, so Dungeon Hearts was a challenge to myself to create something that actually lived up to the word,” said Cube Roots founder Chris Pavia.

Originally pitched to Devolver Digital during GDC 2012 and signed the same day, Dungeon Hearts has come full circle by launching during GDC 2013. Developer Cube Roots has worked over the past year to expand and refine Dungeon Hearts to create a truly extraordinary experience that will challenge even the most savvy puzzle fan.

“If there’s one thing I like more than getting drunk and signing a game at GDC it’s getting drunk and signing a super awesome game at GDC,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker when reached for comment.

Dungeon Hearts is available now for PC and Mac via Steam and other digital services as well as iPad 2+ on the Apple App Store for $2.99.

Luftrausers features 125 different combinations of plane guns, bodies, and engines for gamers to control in over 100 frantic missions set against a stylish crimson and cream sky teeming with enemy aircraft.

“The PlayStation team is full of Vlambeer fans so we’re absolutely delighted to see Luftrausers launch on PlayStation platforms,” said Shahid Ahmad, Senior Business Development Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). “Vlambeer’s unmistakable style and wonderful attention to detail will most certainly shine on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.”

Developed by Vlambeer, creators of the critical darling Ridiculous Fishing, co-founder Rami Ismail had this to say, “We’ve had a great time working with Sony on previous projects and we’re glad to finally announce that we’re working with them again. It was kind of a no-brainer that Luftrausers would be a perfect fit for the systems and we’re delighted to say that our screenshake translates really well to both a TV and the Vita.”

Luftrausers will also be available this spring on the PlayStation®Network as well as PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam and other digital download services for $9.99.

DUKE NUKEM 3D: MEGATON EDITION NOW AVAILABLE ON STEAM

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:20:21 -0500

The warlocks of Devolver Digital have partnered with legendary studio 3D Realms and Singapore-based indie developer General Arcade to launch Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition on Steam. The explosive collection includes the seminal first-person shooter Duke Nukem 3D and three wildly themed expansion packs – Duke Caribbean: Life’s a Beach, Duke: Nuclear Winter, and Duke It Out in D.C. – each with polished OpenGL visuals, SteamPlay support for PC and Mac, Steam achievements, and Steam Cloud support.

Duke Nukem 3D originally splashed onto the scene in 1996 with groundbreaking gameplay that blended fast-paced action, unparalleled interactivity, and some of the most memorable quips in gaming history. Duke is a one-man wrecking crew wielding everything from shrink rays to pipe bombs as he brings down an alien invasion from the streets of Los Angeles to a lunar space station.

“There is a whole generation of fans that may have heard of Duke Nukem 3D but never actually played it so it’s exciting to add a bit of polish to the game and the expansions for the first release on Steam,” said Scott Miller, founding partner at 3D Realms. “General Arcade has worked close with our team and hardcore fans across the world to make sure the Megaton Edition lives up to the Duke Nukem legacy.”

Developer General Arcade and publisher Devolver Digital will continue to update Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition with new features including Steamworks-enabled online multiplayer, Linux support, and additional expansion packs in the future.

Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is available now on PC and Mac via Steam for $9.99/€9.99/£6.99.

Dungeon Hearts Coming to Steam and iPad March 28th

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 08:51:11 -0600

Independent developer Cube Roots and the devastatingly handsome gents of Devolver Digital have announced the match-three puzzler Dungeon Hearts will launch for $2.99 on PC and Mac via Steam and other digital PC services as well as iPad via the Apple App Store. Dungeon Hearts, the debut outing by Cube Roots, challenges players to combine dozens of different runes along the relentlessly flowing Fatestream and unleash powerful attacks and devastating combos on a colorful cast of foes. Strategy and speed are essential in conquering the Dark One as you build up your heroic team’s abilities and unlock special attacks and magical spells.

“Working on Dungeon Hearts over the last year has been an amazing journey, and I’m thankful to have had opportunities most indies don’t get on their first project. As the artist, designer, and programmer on the game I couldn’t have found a better publisher than Devolver Digital, who have allowed me to pursue my creative vision,” said Cube Roots founder Chris Pavia. “Also, their skill at making shady backroom deals and leveraging sexual favors to get Dungeon Hearts on Steam has proven to be an invaluable learning experience.”

Signed by Devolver Digital during GDC 2012’s “Pitch Fork Parker” initiative, Dungeon Hearts has since evolved and grown as Chris Pavia and his team designed, tested, and implemented new mechanics and features with a steady eye on the overall balance of the game. Through collaboration with Devolver Digital and a supportive circle of indie developers and gamers, the Cube Roots team has fine tuned Dungeon Hearts to deliver a truly unique experience for puzzle gamers of all types.

“Let me be clear, there were no shady backroom deals or sexual favors exchanged despite what the developer might claim,” said Fork Parker, CFO of Devolver Digital, “All shady deals where out in the open and all sex acts were paid for in full.”

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 07:34:10 -0600

Independent developer Mommy’s Best Games and co-publishers Devolver Digital and Mastertronic have unleashed the earth-shaking action of Serious Sam Double D XXL exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade! Completely overhauled with couch co-op and stuffed with all-new missions, weapons and enemies, Serious Sam Double D XXL is a tour de force of heavy weaponry and loud-mouthed shenanigans.

“The team is super excited to see what sort of crazy combinations of weapons Serious Sam fans put together with the Gunstacker,” said Mommy’s Best Games founder Nathan Fouts, “We’ve put a ton of work into new content and have really cranked up the insanity in Serious Sam Double D XXL.”

Originally launched as a part of the Serious Sam Indie Series, Serious Sam Double D XXL is a 2D run-and-gun take on the iconic Serious Sam franchise centered around the revolutionary Gunstacker – an item that allows gamers to collect, stack, and fire dozens of different gun combinations all at once. The addition of couch co-op, new levels, new weapons, and a bizarre selection of new enemies have all been added to reach an absolutely explosive level of fun on XBLA.

Serious Sam Double D XXL is available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 MS Points.

“I have no idea why we aren’t focusing our marketing on the topless female enemies holding bombs over their exposed breasts,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “If I’ve learned anything from years selling video games, it’s that nudity and violence move product.”

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:07:00 -0600

Austin, TX – Fork Parker, Devolver Digital’s infamous Chief Financial Officer and taco connoisseur, is once again sending his minions to the Game Developers Conference and SXSW in search of the finest ideas in independent game development as a part of this year’s Pitch Fork Parker initiative. Devolver Digital, curators of exquisitely handcrafted video games, provide independent studios with development funding, top-notch marketing and public relations resources, and a genuine partnership to help make a great video game something of legend - all while allowing the developer to maintain complete creative freedom on the project.

The inaugural Pitch Fork Parker initiative at GDC 2012 resulted in Devolver Digital signing the upcoming RPG-influenced puzzle game Dungeon Hearts for PC, Mac, and iOS by Chris Pavia.

“Devolver Digital has given me opportunities that would have been nearly impossible to get on my own as a new, unknown developer,” said Pavia. “Dungeon Hearts wouldn’t be half the game it is now without their support. Also, they give the best back rubs.”

The Devolver Digital team has maintained a strong and non-sexual loving relationship with many talented independent developers over multiple titles - a testament to their belief in forging genuine and honest partnerships with their developers.

“Devolver Digital once got me a hotel room with zebra print walls & breakfast tacos,” added JW Nijman, one half of Dutch developer Vlambeer.

SXSW 2013 | Austin, TX | March 8 - 10 | Palmer Events Center

HOW

Email fork@devolverdigital.com with information on your team and project to setup a meeting with Fork Parker and the Devolver Digital team at GDC and SXSW 2013.

“I was under the impression that being ‘developer friendly’ just meant buying them dinner, drinks, and possibly a sensual massage,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “But our business development team is more in favor of honesty, integrity, and creative freedom so…you know…whatever.”

Serious Sam 3 Steam Workshop Support

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:47:16 -0500

Croteam and Devolver Digital have flipped the ol’ switch that turns on Steam Workshop support for Serious Sam 3: BFE. Users are now able to browse and subscribe to their favorite mods created by fellow Serious Sam fans to change up weapons, enemies, and gameplay as well as add in new fan-made multiplayer and survival maps. In fact, there will be over 60 different mods already available for users to subscribe to and enjoy!

Croteam has prepared a wiki guide for this new feature HERE.

This massive influx of awesome might prove intimidating to current users so we’ve prepared a handy FAQ to prepare for this new feature.

Q: I love the Rocket Launcher but think it would be great to replace it with a pet Scrapjack that fires cute little rockets from the palm of my hand – is this possible with Steam Workshop support?

A: Already in there boss, don’t forget to check out it’s precious little idle animation.

Q: The Gnaar enemies scare my little brother, would it be possible to dress them up with fancy top hats and monocles with maybe a distinguished mustache? If so, can we rename them Sir Eisenhower Buttersworth?

A: Yes. So much yes.

Q: The non-stop action of Serious Sam 3: BFE is great and all but I really wish I could replace my multiplayer character with oddly attractive teenage girls from my favorite anime, is that weird?

A: Yes, it is weird but also totally possible with Steam Workshop. By the time you read this I guarantee your request is already available.

Q: I bet my friend $1,000,000 that you will never, ever, ever be able to make your own multiplayer and survival maps for Serious Sam 3: BFE using Steam Workshop. What’s the deal?

A: You owe your friend a million bucks, dude.

Q: I get aroused by the rapid discharge of shotgun shells – is there already an automatic shotgun mod I can download so I don’t have to wait on making my own?

A: Yes. Please go away. Gross.

Serious Sam 3 on Xbox LIVE Arcade - The Warfighter-fighter

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:53:00 -0500

During this busy season of video game releases the team at Devolver Digital realize that not every game will live up to expectations. One such game has been Medal of Honor: Warfighter - yet another military shooter where cover is king and most folks spend their time peeking out form behind a wall or a strategically placed concrete barrier.

That shit is weak.

That’s why we’re pleased to announce the Serious Sam3: BFE “Warfighter-fighter” program. Over the next week we will be offering 100 free Xbox LIVE Arcade downloads for Serious Sam 3: BFE to some of those affected so they can get up from behind that wall and get back to the unleashing heavy ordinance upon a horde of brutal aliens just like our forefathers.

Stand up and make your voice heard by simply tweeting your concerns about the stagnant modern military shooter with the hashtag #SeriousSam3XBLA and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a Serious Sam 3 download - the perfect remedy for mundane, cover-based shooters.

For those that avoid Twitter at all costs you can also post the same to the Serious Sam Facebook page at facebook.com/SeriousSamFan.

Spread the word and stay serious!
