Here we go! Here’s the first wip teaser screen of “The Ghost Blade” (Sega DC). Enjoy!
Alpha Screen Teaser (work in progress)
You can see a huge bomb in the middle of the screen that is part of a “bomb style” mode. The player ship shoots out bullets in front and back direction to blast off enemies all around the screen. You can see a life stock and a hiscore display in the left corner, and since this is a competition type of shooter we’ll have an online leaderboard (very important feature we forgot to mention yet!) as well .
Please note that this game is still in progress as we’re heavily working on the game to make it better and better, so final resaults may vary. We also have a new concept artist who works with us on more stunning enemy concepts than shown above. Please help us making this game great and let us know what you think. All opinions matter!
Some more Ghost Blade and Redux: Dark Matters news will follow next week. Have a nice week!

Thank you for coverage!
Graphics is cool, but I would like to see more screenshots. And of course – trailer!
What percent of game is complete? 15-20%? Or more? Can you tell us?
Does game will be available before winter? I hope it will be released in 2013, not next year. We know history of Sturmwind, so we need to know it
Thanks! Its about 5% – this is early development stage. 2013 is aimed. We’ll publish more screens and concept in the next weeks!
Will there also be an “ordinary” arcade-mode? Will there be drones/satellites/sidekicks? How many weapon systems will be included and do you already now how they will be powered up? If this is a true screenshot and not just “concept art”, it looks quite promising. I’m looking forward to seeing more of it.
Yes, there will be an arcade mode with 5 stages next to the caravan mode. Lots of power ups are going on for sure, but the games delevopment stage is very early, please wait until announecment. The teaser screen was a bit polished actually but the final result will look way better anyway.
This new game looks sick I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy of Redux for the Dreamcast. Keep up the good work and keep making great games.
There is a lot to like in this screenshot. The artwork and general aesthetic has a cool serious tone to it, but the whole bullets coming out of the back of the ship aspect just looks silly and unsleek to me. I don’t know if this is a planned core gameplay mechanic, but maybe there could be at least one selectable ship that doesn’t shoot bullets out the back? Also, any thoughts as to whether there might be multiplayer modes? 2p, or heck, use the full capabilities of the DC and go for 3 or 4p? Ah, now maybe I’m just dreaming
Sure only one of the ships will shoot backwards, other ships will shoot straight forward – we’ll go up to insane maniac gameplay.
An 2p mode was interesting too, it is definitely considered by us.
