Velan Studios, Inc.

We're taking a bit of a different approach to announcing our next project. In a world where highly polished trailers are commonplace, we're pulling back the curtain on a prototype that's only been in the works for a few months by a tiny team of only a couple devs. We've found a core game mechanic that's fun, and we'd like to bring you on our journey as we explore what this game might become. Climbing Chaos is early prototype of a ridiculous physics-based party game where you grab, climb, and tumble with friends! Move your body and each arm independently, climb anything you can grab, and embrace the chaos with up to four players. Showing this early feels scary in a way, but come along for the climb and let's see where this goes...together. https://lnkd.in/etMDSRK2

Salutations present and future 𝙈𝙞𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗 aspirants. We’re itching to get back into the manor, waiting to once again skulk about its dark halls. In our excitement, we might have gotten a little bit overzealous… If you haven’t been paying attention, 𝙈𝙞𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗 is a game designed for you to invite five of your closest friends (or enemies, we don’t judge) into the pitch-black darkness of Wormwood Manor. Armed with only a revolver, you hunt each other down through the winding halls using only the sound of distant voices and the light of your flashlight to guide you. What sounds like a serious FPS quickly turns into a comical cacophony of chaotic silliness as you argue through doors, whistle intimidating tunes, or simply just silently sneak up on your unsuspecting buddies. Our original February launch date has been pushed back to March 13th - I think you’ll agree, it’s all worth the wait! We’re adding a LOT to our already robust Early Access game! 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲! Wildcards is the newest game mode where you can affect gameplay through cards you play and collect. From hijacking what items spawn in the vendors, to affecting the player models, to even changing the game mode entirely, you and your friends define your game each round! After each round, you will be able to choose more cards to add to your collection, giving you ample opportunities for future chaos.  But wait, there’s more! We realize that the best way to play 𝙈𝙞𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗 is with friends, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to do so! 𝙈𝙞𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗 𝙂𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 allows five of your friends to join your game even if they haven’t bought it yet! While Guest Pass accounts cannot host a lobby of their own, they will be able to play any game mode with you! Everyone should get a shot (pun intended) at joining the club. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁! We’ll be taking community feedback directly and continuing to make the game something even more special. Our discord and socials will be open for discussions, feedback, and updates directly from us! When we launch in 1.0, we plan to make this the most fun you can have tormenting your friends outside of best man speeches.  With these updates and more to come, we hope that you’re as excited as we are. We are so ready to once again haunt the manor, jump-scaring our best friends, psyching out our acquaintances, and cackling menacingly through the darkness. Prepare yourselves, because Midnight Murder Club drops into Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Steam on March 13th, 2025. https://lnkd.in/gTcrTxwQ Happy Gaming, and we’ll see you soon!  The Velan Studios Team

Today's the day! We're so excited to celebrate the launch of Bounce Arcade - an immersive pinball style VR experience for the Meta Quest! We finally are getting to reveal all four tables that our team worked so hard on. From exploring space in Asteroid Outpost, lurking through a haunted Monster Manor, mosey into the wild west with Gunpowder Gulch, and finally sail the high seas in Pirate's Plunder! Our team has done an incredible job, and we hope you enjoy the game as much as we do! https://lnkd.in/g6MWHdDV
