Hey everyone, this is Benji. I was the Art Lead on Dracomaton, and am currently working as the Art Lead for a new rhythm gamed called Beat, Heart, Beat! I want to talk to you about our newly released demo, and I also made some more Eclipse art for y'all, you can check it at the end :] Made by many of the same people who worked on Dracomaton, BHB is action platformer rhythm game with a grungy alt-rock soundtrack, about chasing your heart! If you like how Dracomaton feels to play, I think you'll really enjoy the way BHB feels too as we've only gotten better at juicing up our games. We also have

Messages from the Team:\ Hey y’all, Benji from the GUN JUMPERS here to talk to you about our newest update! When we first decided to do the free weekend, we weren’t planning on making another update, because most of us are working on different projects now. We just wanted more people to see and enjoy the game, but we never anticipated how massive the outcry of love would be from the players who like it. That feeling spurred us on to come back together to make the Goliath update! It features 3 new and innovative forms, a new boss, a Hard mode, as well as a bunch of new achievements. The specifi

Hi y'all! It's Calex and Annie; a bit of a shorter one this time but we wanted to push out a quick update with some bug fixes and for QOL.As always, it's been overwhelmingly amazing to see your support for the game! Your energy is infectious; we may not have been working on the game very much before, but this has given us a little boost this past month.For you all who have stuck with us so far... thank you! We have so many thanks to give, and in the meantime, those thanks have taken on many forms. This empty, abandoned factory, and the smothered night sky may yet still have more secrets to sha

Hey everyone, this is Benji from the GUN JUMPERS. Thank you so much for support the last couple weeks, it’s been so wonderful to see everyone enjoying the game. I made a piece of LUNR and Eclipse as a thanks, you can take a look at it at the end of the post. We’ve been listening to all of your feedback and reviews of the game, and we have an update for you! Some of our team has been working really hard to make the game run better for everyone, and to fix all of the bugs that have been reported in both the forums and the discord. The game has been optimized a ton, so if you were having performa

Hey everyone, this is Benji, art lead for DRACOMATON. Thank you for all your support this weekend, the amount of people who have now seen and played the game is outstanding to the team, and it means a lot to see so many people play and care about a game that is so meaningful to us. Some people requested we make a discord to talk about the game and show future projects that the team is currently working on, so we did! You can check out the link here: https://discord.gg/sgTmZUBc47 also below is a Spider form piece I made as a thank you for playing the game, hope you like it! If you do, I'm the a

A Message from Calex:Hi y'all! I'm not usually the one who writes posts like this so cut me some slack on this one. It’s been a while, but we've got a new update to celebrate the anniversary of the game's Steam release. It's a bit of a smaller one, but we hope you enjoy it. The team has been busy battling on other fronts, but we figured we'd celebrate by putting the game up as temporarily free-to-keep from August 1st -> August 4th alongside pushing out a new system and some quality-of-life changes/fixes. As usual, thank you so much for your support since the game's release in the summer of 202

This project just refuses to die; it’s too fun to work on. This isn’t and probably never will be our job, but with the rough and tumble world out there, developing new content for DRACOMATON is a bit of an anchor. We hope playing it might do something similar for you! In any case, it’s been a full year since our Steam release. Thank you for all the support both then and now! When we realized the date was coming up, we did our

On behalf of everyone on the team, thank you so much for your support since the release of the game. It was far greater than we ever could have anticipated. This is a post I wanted to write about our team, and Version 1.1: The Corrosion Update coming to DRACOMATON! We formed our team in college for our capstone course and named ourselves the Gun Jumpers. We formed our group before the class even began, because we all shared a similar goal of want
