Our first playable build - Devlog #1

Where to begin? This project is something me and my brother have been working on for a few months now. From the art to the music and code. We are a two person operation here and we are beginning to introduce ourselves and the game at the same time. We decided the game should take precedent and our personal introductions will come with time through our social media accounts , etc. We want people to play the game right alongside our development of it. That way we can gauge reaction during development.

I hesitate to call this an alpha build or even a 'playtest' though it certainly matches the latter.  The amount we have added is considerable, the amount we have learned on this project is also considerable. Yet there is a great deal left to do and learn. We are excited about these concepts and we are ready to keep working on this project. Hopefully you find something interesting here and would like to follow along as well. Check back in often as we continue to add more to this project.

I suppose I should try to talk about what all we have here in this build of the game. So I'll do that now.
Exterminators is a top down shooter designed with the concepts of 16bit games that we played when we were kids. While only one character has been added you can play as a "clone" in 2 player and enjoy the game in local co-op.  This playable build has a simple AI for the enemy giant bugs (Alien bugs as you will learn in the opening story) a destroyable environment, and well... a gun with which to kill these giant bugs.

That's about it for now, but we do have many ideas for improvement including additional actions, weapons, a progression system, additional characters to play, and boss fights.

So if you want to follow along with a project that is right here at the beginning allowing you to play then by all means stick around. Download the game, play it, let us know what you think and what you would like to see.
