- Limited Time Sale: Creatures Of War 40% off! - 29 January 2025
Hello fellow survivalists, Creatures Of War is currently being discounted by 40% meaning you can grab this bad boy for less than $10! (Billy Mays Voice, RIP). In other news Creatures Of War is actively being worked on. Currently the game is sitting on patch 1.03 with a few known bugs still existing in the game. The goal is to complete the level reworks and designs that will significantly change the way the game is played across 6 different levels. Some of the level changes will be very big and some of the changes will be small. The overall goal is to change up the pacing of the game in the back half of the levels. This is what is planned for 1.04 as well as updated maps to go with the updated levels. I have been getting a lot of advice on adding in a hip pouch / fanny pack that would expand the players inventory by four additional slots. I think this is a really good idea and would give…

- Creatures Of War: Our Demo Is Nearing Completion - 20 September 2023
The creatures of war demo is a few weeks away from completion. We have been polishing the interactions between the player and the merchant to make purchasing, selling, and upgrading weapons / items as seamless as possible. The level itself has been balanced many times to make sure that we are not going to run into any difficulty spikes that would be deemed unfair by the player. In the last few weeks the demo has undergone a major lighting change. At first rooms were unlit and looked rather bland, with the new lighting adjustments, rooms that were once uninspiring now instill fear and wonder.

Any and all feedback from the demo will be greatly appreciated. If you want to help aid us in the development process of Creatu…
- Creatures Of War Gameplay Trailer - 29 August 2023
The Creatures Of War gameplay trailer is finally here. If you were wondering why the forums have been so quiet, well the team and I have been hard at work polishing the core features. These pillars have finally gotten to the point where I thought a gameplay trailer would properly capture the essence of Creatures Of War. In each new clip the player is wielding a different weapon. We focused on giving the player a lot of different weapons to choose from to allow you to survive in the style that best suits your playstyle. That is why we showcased the sniper head shots, the cryogrenade freezing the Velociraptor, and the sub-machine guns. We also showed a lot different creatures because we wanted to showcase how diverse the enemies can be. In one of the clips you are fighting a mighty Spinosaurus 10X the size of you, in another sequence you are shooting a compy that is 1/5 your size with a s…
