Gemini X - We’re just getting started!
We’re beyond excited to announce Gemini X!
To those who are vibing with what it is,
With respectful inspiration taken from games like Mega Man X, we’re building a metroidvania that mixes in some non-linear exploration gameplay to elevate the experience into something special.
It’s not a slavish or carbon-copy of that formula. There are wide themes we are covering, such as armor piece upgrades, animal-themed robot bosses and that iconic dash. But there are plenty of areas we are expanding on, and we’ll be diving into these details throughout development.
A few members of our team have worked on the games Guacamelee! & Guacamelee! 2, in both Level Design and Art Direction, so we’re confident that the game will look and feel amazing!
We have an awesome roster of bosses, the Heretechs, that are carrying out a terrorist plot in the Gemini Space Colony (for which the game is named). These bosses aren’t just going to sit in boss rooms and wait for you, they’ll be traveling throughout the station, and sometimes encountering one another to accomplish their mission. The story will develop and change based on the order you take them out and how the remaining Heretechs react. This gives the Mega Man X formula some added narrative weight.
We plan on profiling and showcasing each of the Heretechs throughout development, as each one is not only a fearsome boss, but they also have varied and expressive personalities. They are complete characters, and we really want you to get to know them before the game launches.
The Komi team has extensive technical experience, so we know the game will run smoothly and will be available on many platforms (these are ongoing processes so we’ll make specific announcements later). You can be confident in the stability and quality of the game’s launch.
Truth is, the game is very early in development, and we couldn’t show a lot of this in a 60-second trailer. There’s so much more to the game than can be shown in a minute.
We need to know that people out there want this game. Every wishlist counts.
If you want Gemini X, then we ask that you spread the word, let others know and get more eyes on it! If you want it, wishlist, and look forward to Gemini X’s bright future!
Thank you,
Jason Canam, Creative Director
