Welcome Cara!
Hello all! Chainsawesome Games is now a team of 7 and got a little bit more magnificent as we welcomed our third artist on board last week. Cara has joined the team as our second 3D artist and she will be helping us out mostly on the environments and the props. We only showed a single map of Aftercharge yet and that’s because it’s all we have. But that’s going to change! We can’t wait to show you the second environment of planet Dusk 11. We want to launch Aftercharge with enough ...
Aftercharge will be launching on Xbox One
Hello Chainsaw fans, Since the very first day we announced Aftercharge, we stated that it was going to release on PC and consoles but we stayed vague on the console side. Today, we’re happy to announce that we’re renewing our vows with Microsoft and Aftercharge will be launching simultaneously on PC and Xbox One in Spring of 2018. Choosing a launch console is part relationship, part business and we had such a great experience launching Knight Squad with the ID@Xbox team that it just made sense. We still have in ...
Get ready for Aftercharge!
What do you think? Everyone at Chainsawesome is beyond thrilled to finally reveal what we’ve been working on for a whole year. Aftercharge is an online competitive 3v3 shooter pitting a squad of invisible robots against the company who created them. You will either take the side of the robots with the goal of destroying the installations of Aftercharge corp or take the side of the enforcers, tasked to shut down the robots to protect the precious energy extractors. Those of you who have been following us ...
Merry Chainsawmas
Hello Chainsaw fans, This is a mandatory “We’ve been quiet for a while now” post. So yeah, we’ve been quiet for a while now. But there’s no creepy hidden bad news behind all of that. Everything is fine at Chainsawesome Games, more than fine actually. 2016 has been a huge year working behind the curtains. We doubled our team, we got a real office space and we started working on a new project. The more we work on our next game ( codename; Pizza Planet ) the more we’re convinced ...
This guy has our back!
Hello friends! Chainsawesome is going places. A couple of weeks ago, we were moving in our very own office space and this week, we welcome Pierre-Alain Chabot (PAC) to our team. He’s a full stack developer and he’s going to help us with all back-end matters. Our studio has officially doubled in size since the beginning of 2016 and we’re beyond thrilled. PAC is not going to work on Knight Squad, his skills will be key for our next project which will rely heavily on servers and back-end programming. ...
Live from our office
We finally did it! After three years working from a basement, we have moved to our very own office space. The new studio is almost all furnished with new stuff and we’re ready to take Chainsawesome Games to the next level now. We needed to move as the team just keeps expanding. We’re five humans and one dog and this space is ready to accommodate up to 8 team members. Our next project requires a bigger workforce than Knight Squad because we’re stepping up our game a notch. We’ll have updates ...
3D Artist on board!
Hello everybody! Here we are, a few weeks later and the team at Chainsawesome Games is still growing. Today, Olivier is joining the team as our all-around 3D Artist. He is skilled in modeling, texturing and rigging and he will be a great asset in bringing our 3D characters and environments to life. I suppose some of you may be wondering: But does this mean you’ll be making 3D games? Yes, absolutely, it means exactly that. We will not be turning Knight Squad into a 3D first-person game though, ...
