BioEntity is out now!
When I started work on BioEntity in early 2017, I had no idea it would take this long, but here we are! My first game releasing on Steam.
My first real introduction to computer graphics, beyond playing NES and Sega Genesis, really happened in Middle School. My computer lab teacher (whose name I forget) showed us how to use Hypercard to create animations. You draw one frame, advance to the next one, and draw a new one. You could even have different events happen depending on where you click the mouse (the underlying technology behind Myst).
I went on to make Flash Animations in high school, Flash games in college and work on several collaborative game projects as well (shoutout to Ben Krisher, creator of Gravity Runner!)
Several other game ideas came and went, but nothing really stuck until I moved to Charleston, South Carolina. Unemployed at the time, I devoted a majority of my time to building BioEntity, creating almost everything myself: graphics, music, programming, editing trailers and marketing on social media. It has been a monumental effort leading up to this point.
In addition to the game, you can also 'pay what you want' for the soundtrack at: https://sneakyparty.bandcamp.com
I plan on dropping some BioEntity merch on the Sneaky Party RedBubble store, but you can currently buy the 10 year anniversary "Cat on a Keyboard in Space" design on shirts, stickers and other products : https://www.redbubble.com/people/sneakyparty/shop

BioEntity Launch Date: September 24th, 2020!
Wow, what a journey It's been! Since starting Sneaky Party LLC, I've gotten married, moved three times, started two new jobs, and survived a global pandemic. Nonetheless, development is almost entirely finished and I am very excited to share my game with you!
A special shout out to family, friends my group of beta testers who provided valuable feedback and bug reports, and my musician collaborators on the soundtrack.
As a one-man company and first-time Steam developer, there are bound to be some hiccups after the game launches. Please feel free to report them on Steam or email me at sneakyparty@gmail.com. I value your opinions and constructive criticism!
In addition to the game, I will be releasing the soundtrack at: https://sneakyparty.bandcamp.com
You can also follow updates on the social media pages for Sneaky Party on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
Thanks!

Thank you for reading this and for showing interest in my game, I can't wait to finish it!

Introducing: BioEntity!
Some of my earliest memories were of playing games on the 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, and the 2D platformer has always been one of my favorite genres. I want to pay homage to those classic games while telling a new story in an art style that favors bright colors and gradients.
A key concept from the start has been freedom of movement; the player should to be able to move in any direction and jump from any surface. That decision has guided the development of the controls and level design, lessening the constraints of gravity and prioritizing fluid, fast movement through the game. Support is planned for keyboard and gamepad input on Windows and macOS.
Stay tuned for development updates, and add to your Steam Wishlist to be notified when BioEntity is released! You can also follow us on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
