Description
We are a game studio, we create our IP's but we also assist friends creating awesome games.
History
let's rock
The studio was founded when they created Double Kick Heroes during Ludum Dare #34 in late 2015. The team wanted to make a frenetic rhythm game based on METAL and shooting and... well ultimate destruction, no less. With the groove of the epic Elmobo and his 25 years of experience in video game music AND METAL production, they won the Gold Medal for Music and ranked #10 in graphics for the Ludum Dare challenge. Many players enjoyed the mix of shooting, crimson mood and intense action on the beat. The game skyrocketed to more than 200 comments and constructive feedbacks overwhelmed them..
Early Access
After delivering an enhanced post jam version, more than 50 000 people played the game all around the world. They were also best shooter for some monthes on itch.io, which in these days of abundant indie shooters is a feat in itself. The crew felt a deep need for a rock solid metal-rhythm-action-shooting-Gundillac video game! So they decided to deliver a bigger and better version for desktops! These were good days for indies despite an indiepocalypse very present The game performed well in Early Access and then the team aimed for home consoles with the help of Plugin Digital.
After that
Double Kick Heroes was a success thanks to deals and gamepass but since our fellow devs never landed a publisher, they had to survive beyond the creation of their next game. They are still creating their own game which is announced but they produce and help lot of other studio to amass the cash to build the next game. Along the way they met awesome people, dev, designers, trainees and partnered on the long road to the next game. They happily integrated Togi and Jean in the core crew and built a network of talented people to both advance their super secret project and provide services to friends. Among these, they are helping their friend from Punkcake Delicieux to bring Shotgun King to the home consoles.
