Introducing "Shadow Gangs" an 80's arcade inspired ninja action game. - Page 2

Jgames · 08 February 2016, 02:09

I thought I give a new Shadow Gangs update.

Product is near finished, a new great soundtrack is in the works, the musician sent me a new extract of it and it sounds fabulous. I'll put it for download as soon as I get it.

I know I always say a video is coming soon, or the demo soon...but this game is hard work and especially I want it to be the great product I am hoping it will be.

In any case, the demo should be out before the end of March.

Here is some pictures of the game running the latest build.

Very nice graphics!

Hope the controls and animations are fluid.

Coolio; I love absolutely love Shinobi on arcades (and the other games you mentioned). This looks very similar

They are, gameplay is priority number 1.

Your memory is a lot better than mine

Edit: just found our conversation in this thread; http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=46982. That was a long time ago

...can't wait to give this a try when ready

Hi Everyone;

I would like to share with you some good news, this month's last weekend I will meet the game background artist Toni Galvez, and we'll be making videos of the game.
So an actual game video will be available before the end of this month.

Another great news, I received Shadow Gangs's second and final music track for the demo.

Please find it here, it manages to be even better than the first track, I kept listening to it the whole day and still do now.

It is an exciting prospect to imagine the whole game having music of this quality from start to finish, which was my objective but I feel lucky to work with such a talented artist.

For you guys that wanted a ninja instead of Dan, Dan will transform to a ninja (you'll still play Dan for those that like him the way he is now, but he will transform to a ninja mid level (so he can use the sword and other ninja powers)).

Here an image showing Dan in ninja suit, as well as the first mission boss:

More detail on the news section of game website.

Hope you like it!

Great. If it's relatively cheap to back for a basic digital copy then I'll back it on kickstarter.

Thanks Adrian; I didn't calculate the cost yet, but should be on a reasonable price point.

This game will be action from start to finish.
There is so much inspiration to get from the 80's.

Just one update on the eventual full game content, one of the end missions bosses will be Freddy Mercury (I hope no will be offended by this), and the musician will start to do a music track in relation to Queen.
