Hi there! I wanted to share some progress we’ve been making over the last few months on Demon Spore. At the moment we’re taking every feature that’s not up to scratch and polishing it till it’s as shiny as possible. One big area that we did that with recently is fire. SPREADING FIRE Fire in a lot of games is often just background eye candy or just a barrier to stop you going somewhere. In the s…
Hi there A lot has been happening these past few weeks so I thought it’s time for an update! PUBLISHER CHANGE One big piece of news is that Null has shut down their publishing operations, so they will no longer be publishing Demon Spore. The good news is the game will still be coming out! It's really close now, it’s just bug fixing and balancing left. The current plan is to self publish the gam…

Greetings fellow scientists! This last month at DinoBoss HQ I’ve been busy building a bunch of new weapons for the game, so I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about my weapon creation process. Theme To get started I first needed to find the answer this question: “If this is a food technology lab, why on earth would there be weapons here?!” The answer I came up with was quite simple…
To our players, This year, Demon Spore traveled the world through events like PAX, IGN Live, GDC, and SXSW Sydney. It’s been thrilling seeing so many people play together and hearing all the positive feedback. We’re really feeling great about all the progress we’ve made since our journey with Demon Spore began. We also found opportunities to make Demon Spore a fuller experience with deeper prog…
Hi there! Since it’s Halloween I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favourite 80s monster movies that inspired Demon Spore. Alien (1979) I was so terrified by this film the first time that I actually stopped watching it after 30 mins! But when I finally was brave enough to sit through I just was completely absorbed into that world of absolute terror. I just love how every moment of th…

Hi there! Just wanted to share a quick update on some of things that we’ve been working on for the last few months. First of all is the new keyart for the game which you can see below. Jeanna at Null Games did an amazing job at really capturing the feel of the game and getting the tentacles to look as gross as possible! The work that goes into an creating something like this is huge, and it tak…
Demon Spore was inspired by horror movies of the 70s and 80s, such as The Thing and The Blob, which makes Friday the 13th the perfect day to reveal our new key art! You’ll be seeing this art in a lot of places as Demon Spore continues its development. It features our main character, Alex Livins, as he witnesses the horrors that have been unleashed in the Protagenics laboratory after his genetic…

Hi I just wanted to send a quick update on the new environments that are starting to come together for Demon Spore. Originally I just started with a lab where the organism first breaks out of. But I’ve always wanted to have multiple floors for the facility which not only look different but also have other elements to them that have an impact on gameplay… THE LAB This is where the creature escap…
