• We are teaming up with Uragun! - 12 May 2022

  Hello Everyone! A couple of weeks ago, while attending PAX East, we had the immense pleasure of meeting a lot of our fans and other developers. It was a wonderful experience - to be back at a convention after such a long time. We came back home having made a lot of new friends - some of whom we would like to tell you about today. We are talking about the developers from Kool2Play, creators of a top-down twin-stick shooter Uragun. We had a blast playing their game, and we think you will enjoy it as well. Let’s dive into the details! Uragun puts you into the shoes (feet?) of a deadly, but friendly Mech. The Mech was inoperable for a very long time and booted back up only to find a world that is much different than the last image ingrained in its circuits. All humans seem to be long gone and your planet has been taken over by a corrupted and hostile AI. At this point it is clear what has t…

• Maintenance update - Steam Deck Support and IME input fix - 24 February 2022

  Hello, We've just published a small maintenance update that improves Steam Deck support and fixes game input problems for players using some IME input programs.

• The Riftbreaker is launching on October 14th! - 8 September 2021

  Hello everyone! We are beyond excited to tell you that The Riftbreaker will be released on the 14th of October 2021! The game will be available for a base price of $29.99 and localized into ten languages. We can't even begin to tell you how excited we are to reach this milestone. Only five weeks from now, you will be able to begin your exploration of Galatea 37 in the Campaign Mode, test your skills in the ever-changing Survival, or simply test the limits of the game and your creativity in the Sandbox Mode. In the Campaign Mode, you will join Ashley and Mr. Riggs on their mission to open a two-way portal from Galatea 37 back to Earth. This task will require you to set up a network of persistent bases all around the planet to gather all the necessary resources - with less than positive response from the local fauna. The Campaign Mode will test your combat skills, as well as base design a…

• The Riftbreaker: Prologue is now available for download! - 6 August 2020

• Using RGB highlights to enhance the player experience - 26 June 2020

  RGB lighting has become a mainstay of gaming accessories in the past couple of years. Apart from giving our peripherals and PC components a sleek, modern look, it can also serve an informative purpose. Different colors can give us a quick update on the state of our machine or the running software. It gives the developers the ability to convey information at just a glance, increasing accessibility and ease of use - some of the most important aspects of good software. There are various companies that produce RGB-enabled gear for gaming enthusiasts all over the world. Most of those companies, such as Razer, Asus or Logitech, use their own APIs to control these features. They might offer slightly different approaches to handling the communication between hardware and software, so extensive, hands-on testing is key. We decided to implement RGB highlights in The Riftbreaker and X-Morph: Defen…

• Zombie Driver is 10 years old today! FREE for the next 24h! - 4 December 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/fevmi0I.gif Hello everyone! We never expected this day would ever come. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the first standalone EXOR Studios title, Zombie Driver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-wNhKdML38 We left our jobs and founded EXOR in 2007 to realize our dream of making games on our own, independently. Even though the early months were quite rocky we kept going and bet everything on Zombie Driver. Originally released on the 4th of December 2009, it greatly surpassed our expectations. It grew a loyal fanbase, secured our future as a game development studio and paved the way for our future projects. https://i.imgur.com/ADQGkGz.png Zombie Driver received a healthy dose of DLCs, updates, and reeditions, including the HD version in 2012 and the Immortal Edition this year. Over its lifetime the game: sold almost 1.000.000 copies worldwide. was rele…

• KABOOM-BOOM - explosion sequences - 22 November 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/ctfXUiD.gif You still have a chance to survive in The Riftbreaker when your HQ explodes, but you will have a lot of cleaning up to do. Now that you know how we prepare particle effects in our games, let’s move on to some practical applications of those. Single explosions, bullets, blood splats or wood splinters flying around look fun, but our possibilities do not end there. We very often combine multiple effects into sequences. Thanks to this technique it is possible to achieve massive, spectacular cascades of fire, sparks, and debris that look as if they were taken from a Hollywood action film. It’s quite an interesting process, which requires some creativity and destructive imagination, so let’s take a look! https://i.imgur.com/Ff8lwFW.gif Multiple buildings changing their state at once is often a sight to behold. Most objects that you see in EXOR Studios’ games ca…

• BOOM! - How explosions are made - 20 November 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/cPU9g73.gif Kaboom. When a Steam user left a review on the X-Morph: Defense Store Page saying that the game looked as if it was directed by Michael Bay, it dawned on us - there are lots of explosions in our games. We never gave that much thought, to be honest, but taking a look back it has always been true for all our projects. We love blowing things up and we think we’re quite good at it, so we would like to tell you what goes into creating realistic-looking explosions (and other effects) for EXOR Studios games, including The Riftbreaker. https://i.imgur.com/NcMkT6y.gif A sample scene from Zombie Driver HD. There are lots of particles in this one - blood, sparks, explosions… The game wouldn’t be the same without these effects. The explosions you see in our games are realized through the extensive use of the particle effects system. The particles are prepared by our…

• Bonus Stream - MarZ: Tactical Base Defense - 18 September 2019

  Do you like games about space? What about zombies? How about tower defense games? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, there is a good chance you will enjoy the game we want to show you today! The game has been developed by doorfortyfour, a two-person Austrian indie studio, whom we had the pleasure of meeting at this year’s Gamescom. They immediately caught our attention with MarZ, as it combines all the game elements that we enjoy. We think that you will like it as well, that’s why we are going to stream it today! https://i.imgur.com/3CblZGG.gif MarZ: Tactical Base Defense is an action-packed tower defense game, taking place in the near future. You are sent to Mars on a mission to prepare the planet for human colonization. Upon arrival, you discover that you are not the first visitor on the red planet, as hordes of undead astronauts attack you and your crew. In order to sur…

• The Schmetterling Engine AMA on Reddit is live now! - 13 August 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/D3SF2Nq.gif Hello everyone! We are holding an AMA on the r/Games subreddit right now. The general topic of the thread is going to be our game engine, The Schmetterling. We have been working on it continuously since the days of Zombie Driver and we think it is a pretty interesting topic in the days of big-name, free-to-use game engines. The AMA is available under this URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/cps839/hello_we_are_exor_studios_we_have_been_making/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x Since this is an AMA - ‘Ask Me Anything’ - you can ask us about anything you like.

• The Riftbreaker - Survival mode interactive stream - 2 August 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/4udghBY.gif Hello everyone! We are very excited to announce that we are going to start streaming in-development builds of The Riftbreaker regularly, starting next week! The first stream is going to take place on Thursday, August 8 at 3 PM CEST at www.mixer.com/exorstudios! We have finally reached the point in development where we can finally let you see some real, live footage from the game. What we are going to show you is the basis for what we call ‘survival mode’. Our task is going to be building up a base and surviving a set amount of time while fending off waves of monsters trying to get rid of us.

On Thursday we’re going to show off our interactive streaming features for the first time. You will get the chance to help Piotr by giving him resou…

• Help us shape our next game - The Riftbreaker! - 10 July 2019

  We said many times that we want the development of The Riftbreaker to be community-driven. We want to make choices together with you, let you shape the game and make this project something unique and engaging. Today, we ask for your help with making one of the choices. Ashley Nowak is the main character of The Riftbreaker. Although we don't see her in-game outside her Mecha-Suit, she still is the most important character and will appear on most of the artwork we make. We decided to have a little bit of fun and design a couple of clothing styles for her to wear as a default. Each of those tells a little story of its own. Your votes will determine which story you'd like us to describe in greater detail, revealing more about Ashley's past. A - an infiltration suit, designed to make moving as effortless as possible. She used this one while doing recon on illegal mining operations during her…

• Zombie Driver Immortal Edition is coming to the Nintendo Switch on July 25th! - 27 June 2019

  https://i.imgur.com/NXCL8xV.gif We're proud to announce that our all-time classic - Zombie Driver Immortal Edition is coming to the Nintendo Switch on July 25th! https://youtu.be/YLqfRemwcpw It's been almost 10 years since the game's original release on the PC and the game has seen a lot of changes through the years. This latest edition has been ported to the Schmetterling engine which some of you might know from X-Morph: Defense. The new renderer is about 10x faster than the old one that we had in Zombie Driver (we've learned some things over these years). Thanks to this improvement the Nintendo Switch version of the game has the same gameplay features as the PC or Xbox One versions with even slightly improved graphics and runs really smooth even during very intense action. https://i.imgur.com/RxeFcAT.gif All previously released DLC extensions have been incorporated into the Immortal E…
