NEO TITAN REVEALED!
NEO TITAN is the second game by Phops and I, following our release of Archvale in 2021. To fans of Archvale, this will be a familiar affair with some exciting new twists. We’re once again playing in the realm of twin-stick bullet hell action, yet this time in a hand-crafted metroidvania-style world filled with branching paths, hidden shortcuts, and deadly foes.
Rapidly swapping between melee and ranged weaponry is a vital part of NEO TITAN’s combat system - melee strikes recharge your ammo, meaning you’ll need to play aggressive and maximise opportunities to get up close and personal with enemies. As you explore and conquer challenging bosses, you’ll acquire new abilities which both enhance your combat potential and grant access to new locations across the world.
We’ll be talking in greater detail about NEO TITAN in the future, but for now, you can check the game out on Steam.
Wishlisted Showcase & LVL UP EXPO
NEO TITAN debuted at the Wishlisted showcase, which gave us the opportunity to take a playable demo over to LVL UP EXPO in Las Vegas, USA. We had a bunch of people play our demo, which proved a formidable challenge.
We really enjoyed celebrating with the skilled players who managed to down the end boss of the demo, and rooting for them from the sidelines as they persevered. This was the first opportunity I’ve had to take a game of ours along to a showcase, and also the first time I’ve properly travelled outside of the UK - it was an exciting time.
And, as a bonus, I managed to meet up with Phops - in person - for the first time since we started working on games together 12 years ago. I had no idea what he even looked like until now! We explored Vegas together and ate some great food, but now we are home and more motivated than ever to get back to work on NEO TITAN.
We can’t wait to share more about the game soon.
