A place to find information about and art from the now in development indie game: Risk System

A great deal has been updated and finished. Level 2 has begun creation, some voice acting has been recorded and implemented. Scoring mechanics have been retooled and balanced. Super Shots were added and are the most significant change and really completed the vision. Super Shots occur when the player fires their special weapons while collecting energy from enemy fire. The resulting shot is a higher powered version of the special shot and enemies destroyed by these Super shots turn into Shield Fragments that the player can pick up to replenish their shield. This means the best defense is a good and risky offense, the way it should be.

The Cascade Bomb.

When power level is at maximum the player can use the Cascade Bomb to inflict large amounts of damage on all targets. Any targets destroyed will be transformed into power ups for the players shield. This can also be used to destroy low level enemy fire.

Beam version 1. There is also a glimpse of the player increasing their Power by buzzing enemy fire as it passes by. Getting as close to enemy fire as possible is how the player powers their special weapons.

Midwest Gaming Classic 2017

This weekend we had the chance to show off Risk System at the Midwest Gaming Classic and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Turns out that we weren’t alone in thinking the shmup genre needed a drastically different take. This project is only 6 weeks into development and such an affirmation that we are on the right track is incredibly motivating.

What follows for this blog is frequent posts of game play footage in .GIF form. Text doesn’t do justice what we have on offer and this initial post is a thank you to all of those who have played and decided to follow us.

Stay tuned.
