Latest Screenshots (and PAX)

7 September, 2015 - Monsters

Hey there, people that got us greenlit!

I figured I should let you know that development is continuing strong and the game is shaping up to be something super cool. I don't know if anyone was at PAX, we had a booth there and it was the first ever public showing of Apocalypse Cow. It went amazing - it really was a great feeling, seeing people playing the game and having a great time with it.

With PAX now behind us it is back to the trenches. For the past months we've been doing some major updates to the game, mostly to the story, creating something that will put Mr Martin to shame. We are also rehauling our visual effects because.. well because cool VFX are cool! To celebrate we are releasing a new batch of screenshots!

I know development is taking longer than anticipated but hang in there. We are creating something that is worth the wait. A narrative driven, violent parody platformer that you'll have a blast playing.

You will see!

Teasing the Cosplay feature - suggest ideas!

23 January, 2015 - Monsters

It feels forever since we last talked about Apocalypse Cow, partly because it's exactly how long it has been (scientifically speaking). But hey, we are back! And we will tease the Cosplay feature by revealing the first costume. You can send us your ideas too!

You see, Penny, our leading girl (who I feel you will perfectly embody) is a core gamer. She is also a pop culture fanatic. A Comic Con aficionado. A badass nerd (with a gun)! And she loves costumes, which you can unlock via quests/achievements!

The achievement system is pretty straight-forward but in a complex way. There are the regular achievements which are level specific. Then we have the Epic Quests. Quests that transcend levels and require the perfect amount of effort. These are the ones that give you a new costume when completed. Introducing the first one, The Crazy Dragonlady!

Now between bloodbaths you get to dress up like a little girl. Talk about dreams coming true!! Make sure to leave us a comment if you have cool ideas for other costumes!

Description

Release date: FALL 2014

Super Meat Boy meets Metal Slug as you become Penny, a SHIELDD agent to waging your war in this parody action platform extravaganza. The future of indie games (and the world) will be determined by your skills.

Explosions, weapons, slow-mo stuff, chin-down-eyes-up moments, blood and mayhem. A new age action platformer that requires lightning fast reflexes and no muscle memory. All these while dialogues spoken by real human beings tell a tale to cry for, a tale of intrigue and betrayal... pretty much like a Kardashian episode.

A few years in the future the creation of the Anima Rift brings the VideoVerse alive, allowing people to enter the worlds of video games and movies. The most skilled gamers become agents for SHIELDD and swear to serve, protect and occasionally discriminate against black people.

Penny is a gamer in love with AAA games but she is assigned to patrol older games as a low level agent. But she cannot shake the feeling that something dark and ominous is about to happen. This is the start of a saga, with the first chapter dealing with the Hair of Power.

PS: The game may or may not contain a bovine of apocalyptic proportions.
