Soundtrack released!
June 14th, 2013 - Lacabra

Hey everyone. The game still isn't out - there's a technical issue that will hopefully be solved soon - but the soundtrack is!

Download the InFlux original soundtrack by Jonathan Yandel from Bandcamp!
You can listen for free or buy it, but you should totally buy it. All monies received from the soundtrack go straight to Jon.

Cheers!

InFlux selected for PAX Aus Australian Indie Showcase! We're goin' to PAX!
May 5th, 2013 - Lacabra

That’s right – in an extremely exciting turn of events, our new game InFlux has been selected to be exhibited at PAX Australia in July as part of the Australian Indie Showcase (AIS)! You can check out the full lineup for the AIS over here.

What this means is we’ll be at PAX Aus showing off InFlux in our very own booth space thing. You’ll be able to rock up and play the game for yourself, and commune with the developers, and all that good stuff. I’ll also be on a panel along with the rest of the developers selected for the AIS. The game will hopefully by released by then, and you can come by and tell us what you think. We’ve never done anything like this before, but we’re gonna do our best. Many thanks to the folks at Penny-Arcade and their Australian associates for giving us the opportunity.

In the meantime, don’t forget to go vote for InFlux on Greenlight!

Thanks everyone!

So far I really like this game! I've had a lot of fun in the brief time that I've gotten to spend with it so far.

InFlux is a surprisingly soothing game.

Even as a beta, it has a high level of polish some released games take a while to reach.

The game, I feel, is a lot of fun, and I'm not always a big puzzler fan.
Originally posted by Screen Shaped Eyes:
...you can’t help but be impressed by the simplicity of the concept. InFlux is openly and proudly a puzzle game and sticks starkly to that promise... It’s a game that has a clear principle of design behind it, supported by almost idyllic aesthetics and is worth the few seconds it takes to vote.
Check out some hands-on previews of the game at Destructoid, IndieGameMag, GamersDissent, Northernlion, Pixabyte, RipTen, Screen Shaped Eyes, and IndieStatik. (Spoilers: everybody digs it).

Description:
InFlux (by Impromptu Games) is a puzzle game that mixes exploration and puzzle platforming in a series of beautiful natural and abstract environments. You are a mysterious metal sphere which falls from the sky, traversing an apparently deserted island dotted with cubic structures of glass and steel. Each glasshouse is a puzzle to be solved.

The game is being developed for Windows and Mac on the Unreal Development Kit.
  • Sit in a comfy chair and become as relaxed as you have ever been while playing a video game
  • Solve a series of mind-bending cubic puzzle structures connected by...
  • A series of beautiful, naturalistic hub world environments to roll around
  • Meet a majestic and enigmatic humpback whale
  • Works great with keyboard and mouse or your Xbox 360 controller
  • A completely original soundtrack by musical genius Jonathan Yandel

Tentative system requirements:

Minimum:
  • Windows XP SP3/Vista/7/8 or OS X for Mac
  • 2.0+ GHz processor
  • 2 GB system RAM
  • SM3-compatible video card
  • 2 GB Free hard drive space

Recommended:

  • As above but with higher numbers

Who are these guys?

Impromptu Games is an indie game development company based in Melbourne, Australia but involving people from basically everywhere through the magic of the interweb. It started in 2008 with a community mod project on the Penny-Arcade forums (Shotgun Sunrise) and continued to get out of hand from there. Since Shotgun Sunrise, we’ve shipped a spin-off iOS and PC game, Vroom!, and we’re now working on this puzzle game called InFlux that you are going to just totally dig you guys.

I love puzzle games and this game looks awansome. I want to try it : ).

@jdogz427 no problem, and thanks :) Good luck with your tube.

Hey @Lacabra, thanks for the reply. I have a very small (very only 36 subs at the moment) youtube channel, but nevertheless I was gonna get this game and do some gameplay review and commentary on it. You don't have to worry though, based on what I have seen so far in demos and other reviews, it will definitely be a very positive review and will be highly recommended by myself on my youtube channel and perhaps even my twitter and facebook to let other people know about the game. I love puzzle games like this and try to make as many videos on games like this as possible. Thanks again for letting me know about the status and I can't wait to get my hands on the game.

Hey @jdogz427, we share your displeasure. Greenlight is a crazy weird thing. For reference, we've been in the top 100 since always (276 days), we just hit 21000 yes votes, and are ranked #69 right now (though we've been as high as #38 before I think). At this rate we might not get on Steam.
You'll still be able to play the game through other distribution sites, though, as soon as we get one final technical issue sorted. Basically, the Unreal Engine has a colossal memory leak that Epic Games needs to fix. Details below:

Thanks for your support everybody. Greenlight is unfortunate but you are all wonderful.

Early 2013 release date? why hasn't this game been greenlit yet? I voted for it months ago when it first was eligible for being greenlit, and I have been waiting for the game ever since!
