Happy Holidays!
over 4 years ago – Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 11:53:58 PM

First of all, we want to wish everybody Happy Holidays!

With only a few days before the new year, we wanted to look back at 2019 and think how wild it was. We started 2019 with our dream of making a new game for our beloved Genesis/Mega Drive, and now we are making that dream come true. Thank you all for helping us!

New Year, New Baddies!

In the last update we introduced the Siege Tank with a still image. Now here it is performing some actions!

Surveillance Drone

A small unit used to scan areas from the sky, this drone can attack if necessary.

 Thanks again to everyone! They'll be plenty more to see and do in 2020!

New Stages, New Enemies, and Art for All!
over 4 years ago – Thu, Nov 21, 2019 at 01:01:35 AM

Hi everyone! We have been working on a new demo of the game to show you the first level, ramped up with an improved level design and more enemies. Stay tuned for the announcement, and in the meantime, enjoy a sneak peek at some of the new enemies:

Scout Wheel

A lightning fast unit that Ocular Force dispatches in the front lines when they attack a city.

Assault Cannon

Self-directed vehicles designed to patrol and stop Ocular Force enemies with twin turbo cannons.

Siege Tank

What happens when you replace a crab's face with a triple cannon? This heavy artillery city-killer, that's what. 

We added an extra level!

You want it, you got it! We added an additional stage to the game, bringing the total to 8 Levels in the final version! Take a spin through some concept art for each level:

Lab City
Under City Caves
Valley Forest
Blast Journey
Snowy Mines
Hot Pursuit
Fallen City
Ocular Force Headquarter

There's more to come, and thank you everyone for all the support!

BackerKit, Shipping & Updates!
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 10:51:43 PM

Hi Everyone!

You'll all be getting individual emails and messages shortly for any comments and messages! I'm leaving an update here that will address most all of them, but rest assured, we'll be getting back to everyone today on an individual basis!

Shipping

Shipping is not included or noted with any of the kickstarter tiers. We are charging the exact cost for shipping for all backers, and will absolutely handle each and every international order to get the cost as low as possible. Of course, if shipping is absolutely cost-prohibitive, we can get anyone who needs a full or partial refund (for a digital tier) right away. 

International Shipping

I know some international shipping can come up high when it's calculated automatically. Rest assured we have some other options for you to get the price as absolutely low as possible. We have a European distributor we'll be shipping games to in bulk, and some specific stores and distributors over the globe that will be an immediately more affordable option on a location by location basis. 

Just as with our website, reach out directly for anyone who receives an auto-calculation that's alarming and we'll take care of each and every one of our backers to find the most cost-effective way to get you your packages! [email protected]

Vinyl Shipping & Add Ons

Any backers that wanted to add on the vinyl, or already have the size of the shipping box required to pack it flat and securely does increase the shipping to a different tier. Rest assured, anyone who finds that cost-prohibitive, we can immediately provide a refund for the vinyl. 

Digital Only Tiers

Anyone purchasing digital-only tiers, no shipping information is needed. 

Separate Shipping Excitement

Anyone who wants to have their parcel shipped separately & immediately (as an example, shipping Coffee Crisis or Devwill MD now, and Phantom Gear later), please reach out via email directly and we can handle that separately for any backer. 

We are so excited to share Phantom Gear with you all, and are absolutely confident you will love our next game update!
