INVERSUS Newsletter – December 12, 2015

The latest edition of the INVERSUS Newsletter has hit the shelves. Click here to read the full print or read below for the highlights.

Cooperative Arcade Mode

I’ve been playing around with multiple players on a team. Two players fending off the enemy swarms of arcade mode looks to be a hit! I’ve also tested three and four player variants, but they get a bit too chaotic at the moment. Luckily, I’ve got some more tricks up my sleeve to help clean up the issues.

In the meantime, here’s some brand new co-op game play:

Indie Arcade: Coast to Coast

I’m heading back out on the road with the game. I’ll be at theSmithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. as part of Indie Arcade: Coast to Coast on January 16th. It looks like I’ll finally get to visit the capital! Hopefully Obama stops by for a couple rounds. I’m sure he’s a big INVERSUS fan.

So when can I play INVERSUS?

Late spring is looking promising; I already have the game up and running one console and have started in on the others. I’ve also got my localization frame work functional. It can even handle non-Latin characters (check out that Japanese menu to the right)! This is extra exciting from the dev side of things. There is still a good pile of work to finish, but it’s finally just a pile and no longer a mountain.

Boston Festival of Indie Games

INVERSUS is taking stage on the east coast Saturday, September 12 at the fourth annual Boston Festival of Indie Games in Cambridge, MA.

Boston FIG is primarily games local to the New England area, but having grown up in Massachusetts I should fit in just fine. I also have family there to rope into helping out at the booth!

Fantastic Arcade

In my continued travels around the country, I’ll be stopping by Austin, TX. Fantastic Arcade is holding the first ever INVERSUS tournament on Monday, September 28.

They will be showing a ton of amazing indie games so stop by, check everything out, and enter the tourney. It’s time to name the INVERSUS world champion!

Post PAX Prime

The Penny Arcade Expo ended up being an exciting four days in the Indie MEGABOOTH. Everyone I met from fans to developers to volunteers was fantastic.


The game was setup in the minibooth section of the megabooth. Being a first timer this simplified things and worked out really well.


Every night brought with it some sort of event. On Friday night I actually got to show the game at the unPAXparty hosted by Unwinnable.


By the final day of the show my voice was literally cracking when I talked, but it was all worth it to be a part of the group above. Thank you everyone that stopped by and played the game!

Steam Greenlight

On Sunday afternoon, INVERSUS officially entered the fray of Steam Greenlight. For those unaware, Greenlight is community driven method for making a game available on the Steam marketplace. Once passing the Greenlight process, I will gain access to the Steam SDK and be able to start integrating with their ecosystem (achievements, etc).

If you have a Steam account, you can go to this page to vote! So far it’s going really well. All the comments have been positive any we are (as of right now) 99% of the way to being in the top 100 games!

Bit Bash Chicago

INVERSUS is back on the road and the first stop is Chicago on August 22nd. The folks who run the Bit Bash indie game festival were fans of what they saw online and will be setting up a station for the game.

I’m also going to fly out and spend the day. I’ve never been to the windy city before and I think this will be a real fun excuse to visit! The event is at 1260 W Madison from 2-11PM.

Here’s a rad trailer showing a bunch of the stuff you can play if you come by.

PAX Prime

I’m thrilled to say that INVERSUS will be part of the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX Prime this year! This is one of if not the best places to get to show an indie game to the masses and is a really big deal for getting the game out there. This year PAX is from August 28th – 31st at the Seattle convention center. Tickets have been sold out for a long while now so you likely know whether or not you’ll be there.

Specifically, I’ll be demoing as part of the MINIBOOTH section of the larger MEGABOOTH. Just look out for the area with a bunch of kiosks instead of booths and you can find me. I’ll be there all four days. If you want to talk to me when I’m dead tired and have lost my voice, stop by on the final day.

The game even got a spot in the official trailer!
