We’re making Knight Squad 2
Hello folks, Knight Squad is the game that propelled us as a studio. We were blown away by the reception it got since the first players got their hands on the prototype at the Quebec City’s Pixel Challenge 7 years ago to the praise we read about our Nintendo Switch release earlier this month. What a journey. And the journey continues today, as we’re proudly announcing Knight Squad 2, releasing on Xbox One and PC, this year. Working on a sequel is the rare occasion for indie developers and we ...
Knight Squad is on the Switch!
We are excited to announce that our flagship title, Knight Squad, is now available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch. Finally, our studio has released a game on a Nintendo platform. It’s like a childhood dream coming true! Since the very first day the Nintendo Switch was announced, fans have been asking that we bring Knight Squad to that platform, it’s just a natural fit. We’re a tiny studio and we had our hands full with another project at the time, we couldn’t jump on it immediately. But it’s happening now ...
Major Update for Aftercharge
Bonjour! We’re excited to be releasing our biggest content update yet for Aftercharge today. In this update, we’re introducing two new characters to the roster and a new highly-requested “Private Match” feature. Through the creation of private lobbies, players will now be able to team up with anyone across both of the platforms and choose specifically how they want to play. It was a big feature, but we made it happen. In “Private Match”, players will also find a new ruleset called competitive in which they’ll get to push the ...
Aftercharge is launching on January 10
We are very proud and very excited to announce today that our game Aftercharge will be releasing on Xbox One and PC on January 10th 2019. This project has started over 2 years ago and it all comes down in exactly one month. We can’t wait to see what players do with our game. As revealed before, Aftercharge will land directly into the Xbox Game Pass game catalogue and become available for free for hundreds of thousands of players. The Nintendo Switch version will be ready shortly after. We can’t wait ...
Aftercharge is launching into Xbox Game Pass
This is a huge day for us! During the X018 conference in Mexico City this weekend, our friends over at Xbox revealed one of the biggest secrets we were holding on to. Upon launch in January 2019, Aftercharge will land directly into the Xbox Game Pass catalogue. For us, this deal means millions more players having access to our game and receiving awesome continued support from the team over at Microsoft. We couldn’t be happier to have made it to that list. The only thing we have to do now ...
Aftercharge is launching in January 2019
Hello Chainsawesome Games followers! Our journey making Aftercharge is coming close to an end. We now have a clear plan for the next months before launch. We will hold two more test periods before we officially release Aftercharge on Xbox One and PC in January 2019. It’s impossible, for now, to confirm an exact date or if the Nintendo Switch version will also be ready for that period. Our plan was initially to launch in early September but we decided against it seeing how crowded the video game space was in ...
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 ...
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. ...
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, ...
