Long time no see!

It's been a quiet few months from me, and there's good reasons. One of which is that I've been hard at work helping bring a pretty wicked game to life, and it just hit a huge milestone.

QARMA QUAD is in Early Access! 🚀

Go check it out! Play the demo on Newgrounds, wishlist / buy the game on Steam, and tell your friends about it!

What is QARMA QUAD?

A top-down shooter where you don't control one character; you control four! Your Quad can be made up of four misfit beings of your choosing that move as a single unit through corporate strongholds, crime dens, and cult compounds. Each one carries a different loadout, and the member closest to your aim is the one who fires. Line up the right character, then commit.

What's Qarma?

Not a score, a reputation. Three factions (Corpo, Crime, and Cultists) remember everything you do, and there are no clean hands: help one, and a rival marks you. It's not good vs. evil, it's who remembers you vs. who's hunting you. Kill and it costs you; knock 'em out and it doesn't; the choice is built right into the trigger. (Fair warning: play too righteous and the galaxy pushes back harder.)

Where can I play it?

The demo is available for free on Newgrounds!

Early Access is available to wishlist / buy on Steam!

The price will be raised as the galaxy fills out, so now's the best time to jump in!

Made by Newgrounders, for Newgrounders

This one's ours. The team behind QARMA QUAD is a crew of Newgrounders, and Early Access means the game grows around YOUR feedback. Play it, break it, tell us what stinks and what doesn't; the galaxy we build from here is built with you.

Huge shout-out to @TomFulp for featuring QARMA QUAD on the front-page banner and site skin; seeing the game splashed across the top of Newgrounds is so freaking awesome and not something that he had to do!. Also shoutout to @cowboypunkcolt who made the sick site skin!

What's Next?

• More encounters; both on-foot and in-space!

• More of the galaxy to roam!

• More missions!

• More loot!

• More... of EVERYTHING!

It's already shaping up to be an epic game, and this is just the beginning!

Also, we've just launched the first calibration patch!

What Now?

Play the freaking game! Play it now! Leave a review on Newgrounds + Steam, make a bunch of in-game field reports (via the pause menu) so that we can improve the game and make it even BETTER!, and share the good word with those who will listen!

Closing Off

Thanks for reading, thanks for playing, and thanks for the support!

NEWGROUNDS FOREVER BABY! 🧡

Much love. From Benny 'plufmot', and the QARMA QUAD Team!
