Aero's Quest has been announced!

Finally the wait is over, we are finally able and proud to announce our brand new indie game in development right now: Aero's Quest! Check out the announcement video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG_Mz5TS6ZA
This is the mysterious project I started to work on in April 2014 and the development so far is going very well despite the huge amount of work to do and the ambitions of the project.

Aero's Quest (check the site: aerosquest.com) is a 2D puzzle platformer where our here must rescue the love of his life (Ariella) from the evil Andraus. Aero's Quest is what we consider a 2D side scroller of the new generation. The graphics are cured by Travis from raveneyestudio.com and the game presents more than 10 layers of parallax, millions of colors on screen, plenty of sprites moving at the same time, special effects, particle systems, shaders and so.

We are really proud of this project and we are investing everything on it, it's a big gamble for us.

Aero's Quest is developed for PC/Windows and Mac/OS X and indeed we will try to get it on platforms such us Steam and major consoles.

Please stay connected with Aero:
Aero's Quest on Twitter
Aero's Quest on Facebook
Aero's Quest on Google+
Aero's Quest YouTube Channel

The latter will also show all the dev vlog videos we will record to keep you visually updated on the development of the game. Very first time for me to do something like this.

We are also developing a small version of the game in HTML5 that will run for FREE online, so stay tuned.

GMI Contest 2014 - iPong: The Game placed 3rd

For whoever that didn't know it we decided few weeks ago to present iPong: The Game to the contest organized by the Italian GameMaker Community.
Even if we knew the game concept is everything but original and the game is everything but spectacular was nice anyway to have some feedback.
Well we are happy to know that the game placed 3rd at the contest and we got quite good rates from the judges (not all of them but the majority :) ) and hopefully soon we will get some feedback.

First of all we want to thank GameMaker Italia for the contest:

Whoever wanna play a limited time fully functional beta version can download it from here:
