Metro Siege: new arcade quality a500 brawler!

[alpine9000]

Without giving too much away I can say that there is a lot of progress that we are keeping to ourselves. We'd prefer people to experience some of the levels for the first time as they play rather than seeing incomplete progress on youtube etc.

The past 6 months has been a bit slow progress wise as day jobs and life have slowed thing down, but we are still fully committed and recently things have picked up again!

From the coding side, we have some levels that are really different and require a heap of custom code, which means a lot of work for each level. I hope it's pays off as the effort is huge.

I hope that everything will continue to progress. Many of us are excited about this game, is there any news?

Hi Estrayk, progress has been slow in the past few months as team members have had other priorities. However the outlook is great as we are committed as ever to the project

Development had basically paused for the past 12 months for various reasons (life happens) - but the good news is recently the pace of development has picked right up again. It will be a while before we have a finished game in people's hands as it's a big game with lots of assets to create. The good news is, looks like we'll release a tech preview quite soon, so people can get a feel for how things are progressing

Very impressive Just played the first level (kudos for including more than one level in the preview ) and it plays great.


I see what you did there

[vroom6sri]

I just loaded this up real quickly on my A1200 with the pistorm32 I'm currently setting up and it plays amazingly. It looks and feels very, VERY good. It's an incredibly professional level game.

It really feels like you're playing it on a devoted arcade machine. This isn't necessarily my favourite genre but it is very satisfying beating up these bad guys.

Fantastic work.

Have to agree.


No fighting game has even made me want to keep playing. When it ended , I was like NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!.
It runs flawlessly smooth. Kim for the win, .

It really goes on showing what Amiga can do when you target its strengths!

Yes! I love the shout out to the copper on the subway level. In the right hands the Amiga can sing and these are definitely the right hands. I also love the use of the 16 wide infinite height sprites for the parallax poles. Could never figure out why more games didn't use this, Metal Law is the one I can remember doing it best, Apidya and Powder too but I think it should have been used way more and now it is!

Great news and many thanks for releasing a demo guys! Been many years of waiting, but at least we can try it out now whilst we wait for the full game!

I have just played it and I really like it.

The controls are nice and responsive, the music is cool and the artstyle is amazing!

It's been a while, since I played a nice retro brawler game. It's great to see that the genre is still alive and...kickin'!

One thing that made me curse at the enemies is not realising that they can kick you while you are down on the ground fast enough..which is entirely my bad (but hey! Once I realised I could kick them when they were down it was revenge time ).

Looking forward to see the full release.

You ended up on floor and started rolling out of the way. That was mad when I realised you could do that to avoid being stomped on, lol.
