Hey Imgur,

I'm Phi and I'm making a game called Recompile, an explosive 3D Metroidvania hacking adventure. I've done a few Imgur posts over the past year and they've done alright, so we decided to release the demo for free this week as part of the Steam Game Festival!

We lost thousands of pounds due to this year's event cancellations such as GDC, E3 and EGX - things we're looking a little bleak until Steam dropped us a lifeline, offering us a slot to participate in this week's online event. There are over 40+ demos from games that would have been shown at these events. It's a huge help for small, indie studios who have lost significant amounts of money already invested in these shows.

So if you want to give Recompile a go, please check out the Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition (will only be live until Monday).

The demo is a sandboxy prototype from 2019 which was made specifically for events, and a lot will change between this and the final product - but it should still give you a little taste of what's to come!

If you do try it, please let me know what you think - all feedback is super helpful for us since we're a tiny team :)

Cheers

Phi

EDIT:
The entire lineup for the Steam Game Festival, 40+ games which were meant to be shown at this year's events such as The MIX, Indie Megabooth and Day of the Devs at GDC can be found here :-

Demo's ok. Nice visuals. Combat feels out of place, is too static, could use more interesting mechanics (cover, weakpoints, etc).

This is the first I've heard of the Steam Festival where they are showcasing indie games. Anyone care to elaborate? My Steam just says DOOM.

So basic and yet so graphically compelling. Youve done a pretty job here @op!

Played the demo, Once I got the hang of things I could complete it in about 10-15 min. 2 hours later, here I am. Good job guy! Love it

Damn. I wish I had a pc or that this was on console. It would be such a great game on the switch :(

I played it. Took me a half-hour of getting used to the jumping physics and what happens at edges, and me going slow. Was fun though.

Graphics 8/10, gameplay 6/10. Liked it but it`s not my cup a tea. +10 for providing a demo to try the game, tanx.

Found it by searching for “Recompile” on the steam store.

You found the game by searching for its exact name? Sorcery.

i will never not be unreasonably annoyed by apparently officially sanctioned videogame adverts here

Yeah it's horrible how people show off something they made. We should go back to constant reposts of bullshit instead

It looks sick, are you planning on a console release?

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

Currently only confirmed for PC (Windows) but we're definitely looking into it!

Can you promise not to take an Epic exclusivity deal? Seems like every time someone uses imgur for promotion we get fucked on that.

It's Unity

I'm always surprised at what unity can do these days. Talking to a chap on here a while ago who made some very cool realtime water sims.

It's just programming! Nothing you can't do in it
