GBAtemp member releases indie game and hopes to get it on Steam!

GBAtemp member AuburnSounds recently released his first full fledged independent game called Vibrant. The game has got this nice pixel art feel and a pretty great soundtrack which makes it very fun to play!



AuburnSounds said:
Vibrant 2 is a high-speed arena shooter game for Windows, Mac and Linux. The player is invited to finish the 31 levels before the alloted time has elapsed, in order to escape "the Grid" where her trial is taking place.

You can try the game out right now with one of the demos available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The game is normally sold for $5 but AuburnSounds is offering a huge 80% discount to his fellow tempers!

Ultimately what AuburnSounds would love is if you could help get the game on Steam. All you have to do is open up the game's Steam page and give it a positive rating!

Thanks for the warm feedback, i worked my ass off on this game though it started so long ago the graphics are still primitive, er... let's say minimalistic!
This is intended to be a niche hardcore game where each second counts.



Hi @Alkéryn
I'm not good at marketing either, there are so much new releases all the time it's hard to be noticed. It's worse for niche products like Vibrant (hardcore inertia) because media outlets want to speak to their whole audience not a part of it.
So the only advice I can give is don't be too niche!




Very good remark @natanelho .
At first I wanted to have procedurally generated levels, but last time I tried procedurally generated things (https://github.com/p0nce/vxlgen) I've found that it's much more complex than expected and once you've "understood" what the generator can do, you will never be very surprised.

So, er, I hope you enjoy this game which means much to me :)
I was just kidding man, laughing about all the recent indies that have procedurally generated maps...

Btw if you really think it will be boring after a while its only if you do basic level procedural generation, there are lots of games out there that use p.g. and it still isnt becoming same-ish even after long time

Kudos to you, @AuburnSounds for the game! I'm always happy to see all lights of fellow indie developers, and I'll be following you now. How long did you spend developing this game?

I spent 2 months on this particular update (2.0) because I wanted to change a bit everything. Most of the time I do audio software not games.

This is actually the 10th update, the version before was like this:



and before it was more or less the same.

So in total I don't know the first version was in 2003 or 2004 and was running on FreeDOS.
