RetroBones Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi all! Just want to mention we're making this new Atari ST game, called VergeWorld: Icarus, a sci-fi shoot'em up/ racer in which you are a smuggler piloting an aircraft on a distant, desert planet ruled by a tyrannical corporation. This is just the tip of an iceberg, as we have very rich lore and cool gameplay ideas. The game is in development, but we got some recognition so far. Well, if you're interested I'm going to post the updates, with the first one being the gameplay from Atari ST. Video in the link below!

calimero Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Demo on Amiga 3000 looks really impresive! will you be able to do similar looking graphics for STe or Falcon? On ST you use 8pixel wide blocks, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Invader Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Kudos for supporting the ST. Most people skip it and just focus on the Amiga. Looking forward to playing this game. What sort of distribution do you have in mind? Are we talking free download for all? Paid download for all? Physical release? (any or all is fine with me).

Marsupilami Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Really nice ! I't always awesome to see new games for our ST. I hope you'll be able to optimize it for ST, STE and...the Falcon ? (another challenge). But...Maybe you should translate the first word of the title in french and see what it means (sorry about that but associated with the "Icarus rising" or the "is coming"...well ) Again, my apologies, i'm going back to drive my Audi "etron" (same marketing problem ?)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsupilami Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hi, Is this project still in progress? There has been no news for a long time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I second the question above. Was pretty excited hearing about this a couple of years ago, but seems that everything regarding this project has gone quiet. Would like to know if you guys are still working on this.
