[Steam][Win/Mac/Linux] A Quiver of Crows - October 19th

[MsTei Profile]

Long time no update! After two and half years of hard work our small team of three is nearly done developing our twin-stick shmup where you play as a crow!

Steam page for A Quiver of Crows

• 360-degree twin-stick chaos!
• Local / couch co-op so you don't have to go it alone
• Upgradable weapons, bombs, and shields
• Unique environments and physics not common in shmups
• Play using controller or keyboard & mouse

In the animated gif, you can see the four different types of weapons we cycle through.

Animator's Vlog - Danny talks about animating the toucan. In the gif above, you can see the ghostly toucan in action - who you gonna call??


A developer Let's Play - Chad and I play through a level while talking about the updates we added. This is months ago, really old Let's Play, but can give you a better idea of what the gameplay is like.



The game will be launching for Windows, Mac, & Linux on Steam. It will be priced at $14.99 / 14,99€ / ¥1,480 and there will be a 10% discount during the first week of launch. So make sure to wishlist now and get the game during launch week! Don't let the beauty fool you - it is a challenging game. I made sure of it. I'm the level designer, as well as co-developer, balancer, and composer...that's why I haven't been posting much, because I'm so busy!

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!

Our lead programmer has just posted a Gamasutra article entitled Developing a 2D Game for Windows, Mac, & Linux with Cocos2d-x. It goes into the technical stuff we've had to struggle through when making this game.

Our game also features the song "Better Days" by Laura Shigihara, who's also the composer for Plants vs Zombies, composer/singer of "Everything's Alright" for To The Moon, and the voice of the Singing Sunflower companion pet in World of Warcraft. Check out the beautiful music video!
