Super Galaxy Squadron

2015

Dave met a Game Developer by the name of Nick Clinkscales. This was good for New Blood because at the time, they were looking for a Pixel Artist and Nick needed a Kickstarter for his game Super Galaxy Squadron. The game itself is like one of those plane shooting games you see at Arcades where enemies will scroll down the screen while you fly up to some goal.

DUSK

2018

David Syzmanski, DUSK's creator, was looking for a publishing company for his boomer shooter, DUSK, when David met Dave. David knew Dave had worked on the Rise Of The Triad remake and pitched his idea to Dave. DUSK is fun, I haven't played it myself but the idea sounds really fun. It's like if QUAKE was mixed with a more survival like game and with a little bit of DOOM sprinkled in.

[Changed Publishers] Maximum Action

2018

Maximum Action was a game which aimed to mix Max Payne with games like Action Half-Life and Superhot. It's a big bloodfest of fast paced fights as you travel from room to room killing enemies.

I have played many hours of it and it's currently one of my favorite games, it doesn't hold back the player and the amount of combinations between weapons is amazing.

Faith: The Unholy Trinity

2022

Faith is a top-down, pixel art survival horror game where you play as a Catholic priest named John. It's very psychological with themes of keeping your faith and losing it. Your only weapon is a crucifix used to ward off demons. (You do eventually get a gun with one bullet though). The game is split across 3 chapters. The creator used a lot of animating technics to get his pixelated and simple cutscenes to look smoother and more impactful. Using a mix of rotoscoping and pen animation.
