Binaric

From all over the world, Binaric met during their studies at the University of Northampton – as they were getting ready to part their separate ways, after three years of working alongside one another, and often together, they were presented with a unique opportunity by one of their lecturers: attempt to pitch one of their game jam games for funding and further development.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by all accounts, the questions was – weren’t they too tired after years of arduous study? No. Luckily they were not.

As much as they had a good team, they needed to swell their ranks to compliment their strengths – luckily, more of their peers believed in the vision of bringing quality back to the market, and putting the voice of the players at the forefront of everything done. Here at Binaric, we pride ourselves in our focus on community feedback and stringent testing.

About the project

Shattered Sun is a high-octane twin-stick action roguelike, where time is your enemy. Unlike most roguelikes, a relentless countdown forces you to make split-second decisions as you conquer planets, fight massive enemy hordes, and race across a procedurally generated galaxy. Every second counts – run out of time, and your escape attempt perishes explosively. Expect the fun arcade experience of a Twin-stick shooter, combined with the exciting risks of roguelikes.

This is…SHATTERED SUN.

This stunning world, originally designed for PC, is created using Unity, blender, utilising open-source software where possible, for commanders of all ages, specifically players who tend to thrive under pressure; as we researched, that would be predominately males aged 22. Shattered Sun will offer huge replay-ability, players always wanting to try new run combinations and finally finish the game – then do it better, faster, and hopefully land their name on top of the leaderboards.
