    Freddie Mercury shooting AIDS at a gay ninja?

    I'm buying it.

    If it's not real, then it's our duty to make it so.

    I would suggest maybe not choosing someone who died of AIDS as an end-of-level guardian.

    Maybe have George Michael in his smoke-filled pink Range Rover as the guardian instead?

    100% C++, not flash.

    I say to you all to wait for the video and the demo and see if you like it.
    If people like it and gets the funding, then we'll make it.

    In any case, if you like the arcade Shinobi, YOU WILL like this game.

    I can't play arcade Shinobi anymore that much and at the same intensity as I used to do before Shadow Gangs, as going back to it after a session of Shadow Gangs is like going from Skyrim to Pacman. :)

    I don't want to sound pompous but that the truth, at least for me.

    With the greatest respect (because I want this game), your opinion of quality of the game will be massively swayed by the fact it's your gay baby.

    That being said zombie Freddy Mecury ejaculating AIDS as a special attack would probably sway it for me.

    So you're saying it's got more rimming than Skyrim and more man-packing than Pacman?

    :), that's why I say to please wait for the demo, I for sure like it a lot (and people that tested it so far), but not sure what the wider response to it will be.

    So please wait for the video and demo before you make your mind on it.

    Elton John riding on a huge crocodile singing Crocodile Rock throwing razor laced toupees and setting mini crocs on you whilst firing lazer beams at you through his unfeasably large sunglasses. He is wearing a sequin jumpsuit and platform shoes so tall he had to specially extend the stirrups on the crocodile.

    I also got the idea to put the likeness of Freddy Mercury as a mission boss (camp mission), dressed as he was in the live aids concert at Wembley.
    Brilliant

    I really can't believe this is serious. I'm still waiting for him to say " it's just a joke!"

    Very very real.

    I talked with the musician about the Freddy Mercury mission, and he told me that he will make a killer soundtrack for it.
    There is one thing that I am sure about, when our musician says something I trust him 100% and know he will deliver.

    As for the great idea of crocodiles and Elton, I like it very very much. The problem is this game will turn to be Camp end to end if we have Elton, Freddy etc..., there will be no much room for other traditional Shadow Gangs characters...

    I'll be thinking how to solve this, but the Elton idea is great.

    The video release will be next Saturday 27th, or Sunday 28th, and might also be late at night UK time.

    Here is the WIP ingame menu, might change a bit before the demo release:

    We're just so invested in this game now we'll end up buying it...

    Make a limited physical release of it too and we'll lap it up faster the George Michael in a Public Lavatory.

    Have the box look like Adidas show-box stuffed full of Hardcore Russian gay porn, and include a blue-tooth enabled cock-ring that vibrates during boss battles and you work will be done.

    "Screen settings will be applied on back" sounds like a threat.

    I hope not. As long as the expectation are for a 2D platform/beat'em up ninja arcade style game it should not.

    I worry it might be a bit gay

    Hi Everyone;

    Just a quick update, I received the final version of both Shadow Gangs music tracks.
    Find them here:
    Burning Fist
    Shadow Gangs Theme

    The video is of course coming this weekend!

    "Fist" was a bit of a surprise at first, but after I'd fully taken it in I found it to be quite satisfying. After a while it felt almost like it was lodged in the back of my head. Thanks for putting it up!

    @shadowgangs love that music, very streetfighter 2 esque.

    This game has gone from a complete joke to a must buy.

    I think we should petition EG to review.

    This is the right way to do it. You came in and pitched your game like all the others, had the piss taken out of you and to the surprise of probably everyone stuck around. You took feedback and joined in. Seriously mate, well played.
