SUFFER Original Game Soundtrack OUT NOW!

Hey Friends! i've just finished writing, recording, mixing and mastering the entire SUFFER soundtrack! This has been a serious amount of effort, but i couldn't be happier with the results. The music needed to be ridiculous horror punk/ska and fucking death metal. i won't sit here and write about it anymore, so here is the link for the album, totally free on bandcamp!

SUFFER Official Website!

Short post today - i have updated the official SUFFER page on AnarchySoftworks.com. It looks pretty legit, if i do say so myself:

http://anarchysoftworks.com/suffer.html

It's kind of a big page, it took me awhile to compress all of the gifs and high quality screenshots. Mobile isn't where i want it yet... But being a one man team means i have to live with not everything being perfect. Thanks for the interest in my games!

SUFFER Official Game Trailer

Hey friends!

The trailer for SUFFER is out! i won't waste much time writing about it, i think the game basically speaks for itself:




As you can see, it's extremely fast paced and brutal! SUFFER is meant to be incredibly challenging, just like the games it was inspired by. The demo is coming out next week, so dust off your gaming keyboard/mouse and warm up your old CRT because it's going to take everything you've got to claim victory over this one.

The game will go live here: https://anarchysoftworks.itch.io/suffer-demo on July 30th, 2018 - one week from today. i hope you enjoy it!

SUFFER [demo] coming soon!

Hey internet!

Development on SUFFER has been extremely productive. i am nearing the end of my final QA phase for a public demo release that should be out by the end of this month! i'm gathering feedback from a few beta testers (aka my friends and family) for the next week while i ready a final production build. Being a solo dev is brutal and rewarding, i love it.

The demo is 25 levels and completely *FREE* to play! No registration or online accounts required. i do ask that you send any feedback/criticism/angry rants my way, but even that is totally optional!

Here are some teaser screens - i hope you dig the style:

SUFFER has been in development for over 3 years now and i am honestly terrified of going live with it. i am proud of the work i have into it though and i just know there are a few of you out there who will appreciate the brutal difficulty and retro feel. It's a game that i enjoy playing, it reminds me of the many hours i spent in front of an old CRT monitor playing DOOM when i was a kid.

Enough rambling, i have so much to do still! Stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you for reading,

Horror Punk Music

It's been a hot minute since i've posted an update so here goes nothing! i have been making crazy awesome progress on SUFFER, getting ready to publish a demo build soon. The game just needs a bit more polish, testing, and music!

So far i have finished recording 10 songs for the game's soundtrack. i do everything myself so it takes a long time. Composing the music is insanely fun for me and i really enjoy the creativity that recording live tracks allow. The drums and keyboard all programmed with a drum machine and some VST instruments, but the guitar and bass are recorded in my homebrew bedroom-studio.

For the gearsluts out there i am rocking an Ibanez Prestige 7 with John Petruccci signature neck pickup and a DJENT pickup thingy in the bridge. My pedal board only consists of an Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah Pedal, a BloodDrive overdrive pedal, and my personal favorite piece of gear: The Legend of Fuzz pedal from Devi Ever Bit. All of this feeds into an old Fender Blues DeVille Delux tube amp! It's a ricketty old amp with crusty pots but it gets the job done. My bass setup is even simpler. i use Ibanez 505 straight into a Fender practice amp my buddy gave me! No pedals or effects, i just crank up the volume and put the mic close. Super punk rock right there.

To me the Punk scene is all about DIY, and SUFFER really embodies that. i make use of what i have and the limited nature of my setup (and being a one man team!) requires me to be extra creative. i really enjoy the challenge and i often surprise myself with the outcome of my experiments! The music in SUFFER is heavily inspired by retro video games, hardcore ska/punk and the metal! But enough babble - one can only explain music so much, please give the demo album a listen here
