December 17th, 2013 Posted by Insanity's Blade, News No Comment yet

Well, we finally had a little time to do a co-op game play clip! So here it is!! This shows of not only the second player in action, but also the new coin system, and HUD! (Hogging the loot is fun!)

Enjoy!

PS: The Kickstarter pre-order is a great chance to get the game at a discount (and a free Steam key once we’re greenlit) and we really hope to deliver an awesome experience when the game releases in 2014!

We’re in the final 48 hours and have reached our first stretch goal! (Corpse Surfing Arcade Mode), but the Wii-U is still a short gap away!

Thank you all for the support so far and we ask you to please continue in sharing the demo, pictures, and videos of Insanity’s Blade!

Over 100% Funded! Demo Co-Op, HUD updates, and more released!

It’s that magical time again on Sunday night/Monday morning where we release our demo with a game play vid! This time we bring you the following features on top of Friday night’s Co-Op demo:

  • All new heads up display. Now you can keep track of both players health, level progression, lives, score and money all in one area!
  • Enemy AI has been altered for 2 players. Originally, all enemies did a b-line straight to Thurstan but now they will patrol an area before attacking the closest threats
  • Money is now a little more exciting to pick up! When you step on a giant coin or money bag, it will break into individual 10-point coins which fly up into your character’s HUD. Start hogging the loot in Co-Op!
  • More camera tweaking for a further improved experience
  • Deafening screams of villagers have be toned down quite a bit
  • Player 2’s level up system is completely working as well as his scoring system.
  • There is also an Easter egg at the title screen. HINTS: 1. Access it from the main menu, it can be done with one or two players 2. Two keys must be held down to trigger it 3. The FIRST key is not one of the default Player 1 controls. If we reach the $7000 stretch goal, we will reveal how to find the Easter Egg!

Here’s a video of single player with all the new features:

Hey everyone! It’s been quiet for the past few days but our Kickstarter for Insanity’s Blade is still going strong! We’re at 71% funded and have 9 days to go, thank you all for supporting us so far!

Well we’ve gone and done another crazy update to the game play which directly affects the demo as well! We’ve listened to the feed back and we’ve taken the good ideas and built upon them! So in this update you will find:

  • Stage 1 visual improvements – less fire, more background for the people who were having a hard time telling the difference between zombies and fire!!
  • Original Wall jump is only available when playing in Hard Mode! Easy and Medium modes have wall climb and an alternate version of wall jump called the LUNGE!
  • Camera has been tweaked significantly!!
  • A menu to select these difficulty settings!!
  • Scrolling intro and outro art has been changed to use in game or in game sized graphics, making the cutscenes much more interesting!

The demo is available from the same links:
