Cyborg3003 - Early Access on Steam - Updated - Ice Planet map and Sniper Blast

Hello friends, here is Rodrigo Banzato, a solo developer. If you follow me, you know how special Parallel is to me:

I always did and do everything with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. But everything is a phase and this time is no different, I want to introduce you to a new game that I started in March of this year. Exactly 5 months later, I bring you the trailer and Steam page. It’s a very different game, multiplayer co-op, with a lot of shooting and adrenaline, one of the genres I like the most, mixing sci-fi, monsters and aliens.

I invite you to also visit the new website: https://www.cyborg3003.com

It has all the links to the new social networks. Among the news, the site has a dev blog, where I will share some details of the production over time, a way of teach, motivate and inspire new developers.

And last, but not least, I will open vacancies for hiring and forming a great Cyborg3003 team, we will be a team with a single mission, to bring the best possible game to the market. To stay tuned when the time comes, be sure to follow my linkedIn or my personal facebook. A big hug to all and let’s go!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When I’m working on a game, I don’t think about tendencies or what the market wants. Yes, you can call me crazy, but this gives me a freedom to do everyhting I want without thinking about whether the game will earn a few dollars or thousands of dollars. And that is my way of work, It’s a very personal posture where I just want to be a better professional, day by day, game by game.

Until someone comes along who can really take the game to new heights, that’s how I’ll keep working, without anyone’s help, using every penny in my pocket to do what I love to do.

Hope you all have a good life and have fun with the games. Life is beautiful and I’m just here to have fun and do my best.

Take a look on the screenshots from the gameplay and the Trailer. Feel free to ask me anyhting you want or give your sincere opinion:

After some time I decided to change a lot things in the game, I added a dynamic weather to give more suspense with night and fog factors. I also improved the shooting with more effects and enemy reactions, also changing the speed according to the difficulty choice.

The game is set to be released in November 6 as Early Access on Steam. My idea is to bring a good game start for a very low price. With time, my plan it to keeping improving the game and adjusting the price.

Take a look on the new Trailer and new Screenshots. Feel free to ask me anything, hope to inspire others and keep developing games for the rest of my life. Thanks

Cyborg3003 on Steam. For a very special price you can play Cyborg3003 with your friends.

This time, I presents a game more aimed at the profile of players who like games like Killing Floor, DOOM, Serious Sam, Zombie Army, Left4Dead among others. After all, it’s always good to have fun shooting hordes of monsters and enemies.

The game presents you as a cyborg, who travels through space in search of colonizing a planet and restoring the human race, as it once was. The only thing that still makes you human is your brain.

Upon landing in Eruptia, the game’s first map, the player must face waves of attacks and face local enemies who will want to eliminate you at all costs. And to face them you will have a limited number of lives and weapons such as the Venon Strike, Shotgun Blast or laser pistol. Among the explosives you can choose grenades or claymores, which are placed on the ground.

It is also worth noting that you can choose a perk, which varies from more resistance, more ammunition or more explosives. And every 3 winning game cycles, your cyborg armor will undergo upgrades, possibly reaching gold armor that will enable more resistance and jumping strength. These improvements can also reach weapons, which undergo upgrades and become golden weapons, with more precision and firepower.

The player can choose different cameras to play, in first person or third person. As the Assault starting class, the player can also distribute ammunition to themselves or friends during the game.

The game is very focused on the style of destroying your enemies, with lots of blood, explosions and dismemberments, something very familiar to the genre. The game also has two difficulties, and for the most challenging players, the hardcore difficulty brings great challenges. The game becomes very difficult when playing as a single player, but from 2 players onwards the experience becomes a little more interesting, going up to 6 players. But make no mistake, your lives are balanced with the team, if your friend dies, you will also be losing lives. It is worth noting that the game also has the help option of 2 bots, for those who want extra help, even playing in single player.

The game’s achievements on Steam are also very challenging, among which it is worth highlighting: blowing up a dragon (hunter) with a grenade while it is flying or winning the entire game without dying or taking any damage.

Finally, the game is being released as early access, a very common practice on Steam that allows the developer to bring improvements or news according to the community. According to Rodrigo, one of the biggest challenges is to create a community that supports the game and makes its progress sustainable. Among the next updates, we may have new maps, new weapons, new creatures and so on. Rodrigo highlights that it is the players who will decide the direction of the game and that developers must always be aware of possible changes or improvements to a project.

To keep up to date with the latest news, there is also the official website https://www.cyborg3003.com which has blogs from the creator, giving tips for developers and talking more about the challenge of developing games.

A big hug

Hi guys, this time I bring you the ICE PLANET map, a map of ice and snow, prepared for you to face the hordes of monsters, which are increasingly difficult. And also, of course, a new weapon couldn’t be missing, the SNIPER BLAST, with its long-range aim and great shooting power.


You can choose the number of hordes. Hit the head, blowing up the big monsters you can get special items.


This is another continuation of Cyborg3003, among some bug fixes and improvements, we have:

1 - found and eliminated the grenade lock bug that prevented the player from being able to shoot.
2 - camera corrections and specific animations of shots.
3 - More accurate and faster BOTs.
4 - Added visual energy field and sound explosion count when holding the grenade.
5 - Added the skills, Support and Medic, to the weapon selection window.
6 - Localization also made for Portuguese and Spanish

Check out the trailer for the new map:

We also have 2 more achievements on Steam, beating the final boss with Sniper Blast, guaranteeing Sniper GOLD and winning 4 attack waves on the new Ice Planet map.

So a lot things may inspire me, Predator, Aliens, Terminator, DOOM, Killing Floor, The Thing, I love all this. The next map will be inside a volcano, so I want to try different environments, I also really love to design the level. :wink:
