We need Contract Work

Kybernesis started up back in 2008 and were incorporated in 2013. We’ve released only one game, but have done a lot of contract work within Unity 3D and we development. But now it has sadly come to this, we’re running out of money…

Therefore we’re reaching out with this post to see if anyone have any paid contract work that need a team of game developers/designers/artists i the near future?

Skills

We can do anything within visual, interactive applications, mobile apps, websites, graphic design, etc.

Within Game Development we’ve mainly worked with Unity 3D, but also have experience with HTML5, Flash and Unreal Engine 4 in addition to game design theory, user experience and GUI.

Programming skills we have include C++, C#, Java, HTML5/CSS3/JS and PHP. We also don’t have any problem delving into other programming languages.

Graphic skills include modeling and animation with Blender, 3D Studio Max and Maya, and graphic design with Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash.

Contact us!

If you have any paid contract work, want to enter a collaboration or know someone who needs a studio with our skill set, don’t hesitate taking contact through our contact form.

Wasteland Bar Fight Released Globally

Wasteland Bar Fight Released Globally! Wasteland Bar Fight have finally been made available globally, except a few chosen Asian countries due to localization.

Wasteland Bar Fight Released on Google Play globally!

We have finally opened up our Google Play availability for the Wasteland Bar Fight Release to include all countries except a chosen few Asian countries, due to localization needs. So if you have an Android device, head on over to Google Play, install the game; it’s 100% free with interstitial ads now and then, and do tell us what you think in a review while you leave a rating!

Some players have reported that their Android device’s back button won’t open the quit dialogue, so we added a Quit button on the Main Menu. Also some players have reported that they only get an error when trying to install the game. It seems it has to do with installing games to external storage, so we have now changed it so it no longer force install on external SD when it’s available.

And last, but certainly not least, we have uploaded a brand new trailer with updated gameplay footage from Wasteland Bar Fight on YouTube. Check it out below and do subscribe to our channel!

Kybernesis at Pocket Gamer Connects 2015 in London

We had a blast at Pocket Gamer Connects last week in London! There were many people who visited our stand, tried out Wasteland Bar Fight and gave us invaluable feedback. And we had tons of interest around our main concept, Corp Wars too!

On that note, as we mentioned in our last post we also were part of their Very Big Indie Pitch with Corp Wars. I managed to make all of the judges raise their eyebrows with my pitch and some have even inquired about Corp Wars after the pitch, which tells us that we’re definitely unto something here 😀

Harry Slater at Pocket Gamer stopped by our stand and tried out Wasteland Bar Fight and wrote an awesome preview of the game: #PGConnects: Hands-on with quick-tap grungy brawler Wasteland Bar Fight.

Kybernesis & Wasteland Bar Fight Wiki on Giant Bomb

You can now find Kybernesis Company Wiki and Wasteland Bar Fight Game Wiki over at Giant Bomb. We’ll do our best to keep those wikis updated as we keep developing our franchise concept, Corp Wars and develop new games. So feel free to connect with us there too 🙂

Wasteland Bar Fight OST by Kybomatik

Check out Kybomatik’s awesome Wasteland Bar Fight OST, with inspirations from 80’s Cyberpunk and trashy metal.

Kybomatik has composed an excellent soundtrack for our Post-Apocalyptic Bar Fighting game, Wasteland Bar Fight.
Drawing inspiration from both Cyberpunk and trashy metal riffs typical for the 1980’s, the soundtrack fits our Wasteland theme perfectly.

If you’re into the Cyberpunk sound, make sure to check out the excellent Cyberpunk pieces “InGame”, “Bad Android” and “Boss Fight”.
While all you fellow metal heads out there might appreciate “Wasteland Warlords I & II” with their trashy metal riffs.

Also, while you’re listening to the Wasteland Bar Fight OST, remember to check out our Wasteland Bar Fight landing page to join our open beta for Android and iOS!

NOTE! We’re not currently using all of these tracks in the current version of Wasteland Bar Fight, but we’re including them all since they’ve all been part of the soundtrack at one time.

In other news!

Wasteland Bar Fight

We’re currently working on a new game play video with the new look.
So keep an eye open and we will update you both here and on our Social Media channels when it’s live on YouTube.
Meanwhile, you can check out our old game play video if you haven’t already, so you can compare when the time comes!

Oh and any comments you might have on the soundtrack or Wasteland Bar Fight generally are more than welcome!

What is the Next World – the world of Corp Wars?

Corp Wars, Games, News Comments Off

Sep 262014

Some old concept art

This is the world of Corp Wars:

Our future is their past. The seeds of our civilization survived by the actions of its destroyers.
Much has changed. The Nommo Empire holds most of Africa – ruled by an elite class of techno-shamen who call upon spirits of the past to teach them the secrets of the universe.

An industrial giant resides in the largest open mine on earth. Kyburgh, the last megacity, home of unscrupulous corporations whose tentacles of aquisition crawl from that hole in the ground to grab as much of the outside world it can and drag it into the pits of Kyburgh.

Scattered across the world are self-sufficient survivalist city-states. Enklaves are remnants of business-owned territory, government safe-houses and the fortresses of armies cut off from their superiors. They are tough, leading strict lives and commonly sacrifice themselves for the greater good of their hive.

Outcasts and tribeless wanderers gather in the wastelands, forming scavenging gangs. Sometimes these settle down to form new tribes and villages. Some times they murder and pillage their way across the land like a plague of locusts. They’re the wastelanders, or wasters. Bandits, robbers, thieves and murderers of a desperate and ruthless kind.

The new look of Wasteland Bar Fight

After lots of feedback from the beta testers, we decided to go for a new look for Wasteland Bar Fight to better fit into our Corp Wars universe and this is the result!
We also decided to remove most of the GUI elements to remove clutter, since most that we saw play the game at GDC Europe and Gamescom in August didn’t even notice all the GUI stuff we had there :p

So what do you think?

Feel free to join our Beta for Android and iOS over at wbf.kybernesis.com if you want to test out our latest build.

Hardsuit, Landmates and Mecha, Oh my!

Corp Wars, Corp Wars: The Siege, Games Comments Off

Sep 172014

The previous Corporate Cavalry unit for the Siege had three-section arms. The purpose of this unit is to carry a heavy weapon usually requiring a stationary gun post. Its primary application is as a mobile, anti-infantry support weapon.
This version has slaved robotic arms like Masamune Shirow’s landmates, but set closer to the wearer’s shoulders and rather than copying the wearer’s arm movements, it assists in carrying and aiming – this is a semi-automated system that learns from its user.
If you compare their surfaces, there are more synthetic muscles and fiber-based armour on this one.

The change came from combining the sketches of the hardsuit snipers with the research that went into the previous CAV unit.

Corp Wars: The Siege Corporate mechs concepts

Corporate mechs for the Siege (a CorpWars game)

One great thing with preproduction on the Siege (our next project) is that we get a few concepts down on how things will look in our backdrop setting, Corp Wars. These are a Heavy and Light mech with a large hardsuit at the bottom. Making sure these are (fairly) realistic and also animate well is important, which is why figuring out how they’d work in real life, mechanically, is important. The “Corp CAV Sitter” has an outlined guideline for how it gets up from the ground and the hardsuit’s movements were analysed before it was fully fleshed out.

Wasteland Bar Fight got new models, so it needed a new intro as well. I replaced the old characters with the new. They fit the CorpWars concept much better!
