--- RECEIVING BROADCAST FLUX-LETTER --- Hello, everyone! On October 3rd, Beyond the Storm will celebrate its 3rd anniversary since launch. To mark this meaningful date, I’ve decided to make the game permanently free on Steam . This choice is not just symbolic — it carries a deep sense of gratitude, closure, and renewal. Beyond the Storm was born from an old dream, fueled by years of passion for…
Hey everyone, it's Leandro here. I hope this update finds you well! :) It's hard to believe, but it's already been a year! Wow! I still remember this very day last year, sweating bullets while coding every tiny detail of Beyond the Storm to release it on Steam! Clearly, the launch didn't go as planned, requiring numerous, and I mean numerous, bug fixes and adjustments. But I want to extend a he…
Hi everyone, Leandro here! I think that maybe I've been thanking you all a little too much, but I NEED to do that. You know, develop games is hard, developing games in Brazil is harder, and developing games alone is the hardest. And still, receiving good reviews like the ones I've been receiving (either online or in person, as it was in Brazil Game Show) it's incredible, so I *must* say: OBRIGA…
A little update just fixing some annoying bugs, as follows: · Credits screen now works as intended · A fix on alternate endings, which weren't working properly · Executable version now updated (I forgot everytime about this) It's a small update, which maintains the main fixes from 0.8.3.0. The next updates should focus on content updates!
Newest update, with changes from 0.8.2.x to 0.8.3.0, because of GENERATORS, WE LOVE'EM! <3 (update ASAP pls) Fixes from previous version: · Sometimes, when going to the menu while on a planet, the game crashed, a bug which is related to the sphere effect in mission screen. No longer crashes (I hope) · Game no more crashes on credits screen if tried to skip using a controller. (Please, no longer…
Version 0.8.2.4 fixes: · Bunmer, sector D, now ends properly upon defeating boss. · Bosses that has no datacubes send now a Warp Cell as prize. · Datacubes that appeared in levels that was already got (more datacubes in level than it appears on database) now changes to a warp cell. · Upon level start, shields now have "full - 1" charge. · Nebula levels wasn't draining the shields, only the shie…
Hi everyone! We're now attending the Brasil Game Show, which starts TODAY and goes until October 12th, here on São Paulo, Brazil, at Expo Center Norte. If you're passing by, come visit us! We're at the Indie Avenue, booth 35! Come meet me in person, have a little chat and, OF COURSE, play Beyond the Storm: We're with two game stations to play it, along with a "Instant Action" mode: Just come an…
Version 0.8.1.0 fixes: · Mouse movement ingame. The nature of the movement of the game being connected to the ship power cells made me make an approach more link "go-to-there" than 1:1 mouse movement, although I must confess that even I, that prefer kebyoard/game than mouse, liked to control the ship. · Hryiat IX: Sector B had a crash problem at start (GMS2 duplicated the player somehow) · Some…
Hi everyone, Leandro here! I'm a bit tired, I must confess. In these last days, sleeping late to make everything done, and now it's time to fix the little bugs (that probably has!) and continue injecting more content on the game! Obviously, let's talk about the elephant in the room: We had a "little" delay, and I confess that it was all my fault! Ya know, making games is cool, but it is VERY ch…
It appears that the YYC compiled build messed with everything in game. Changing to VM can let the game run a little slower than expected, but everything should work by now. PLEASE UPDATE ASAP!
Hi everyone, Leandro here! LAUNCH IS TOMORROW AAAAAAAAAA*inhales* *exhales* *inhales* *exhales* So, let's talk about the power mechanic, an specific one that WILL help you in tough situations! Tyrian had it's energy bar, to power weapons and shields. Without a good generator, you couldn't have good weapons. Maybe it's even the most iconic game mechanic from Tyrian. So, let's use a little LORE t…
Hi everyone, Leandro here! Beyond the Storm will launch in the next week so, it’s a good time to talk about one mechanic: the “open-galaxy”! You know, Tyrian had a little map view before starting every level, showing the locations and even a track to the next level, when available. As a love-letter, it was necessary to include this map in Beyond the Storm. But then, I asked: How could I make th…
Hi everyone, Leandro here! This week, let's go a little deeper on the soundtrack of Beyond the Storm. As a game like Tyrian, with a soundtrack so magnificent, made by Alexander Brandon - which is one of the most incredible videogame composers -, I knew that it would be almost impossible for me to reach that level so, I dig it up the soundtrack of Tyrian and start analyzing it. Fortunately, for…
Hi, everyone! Leandro here, working in A LOT of things to get Beyond the Storm ready in the next month! In this 4-part series I'm gonna show some aspects from the very first beginning of the development of Beyond the Storm! The levels in Beyond the Storm are being made in Tiled Map Editor. But, when we started, Tiled didn't had a tool to export the maps to Game Maker Studio 2. So, for this, I'v…
TL;DR: Gameplay official trailer is here: ----- It was in JANUARY since I've created the project, got a few sfx here and there, made some animations, put some info together and said "Now I'll only record the gameplay and put everything here! Next week I'll have the perfect trailer!" But then, I've noticed that I can't have a trailer showing only two levels. Even worse: I can't have a trailer sh…
Hi. I am Leandro Gabriel, the developer of Beyond the Storm, and I'm here to tell you a little backstory of Beyond the Storm. In the 90's, I was just a child with a computer and a lot of games to play. And then, one day, I saw my brother playing the coolest game I ever saw back then. It was incredible. A nice looking brown ship, destroying everything ahead of it, while it filled the screen with…
