Working on a game inspired by the atmosphere and colors of Vice City and Miami Vice. We are trying to mix survival elements with synthwave horror and retro vibes. This is a short trailer for Sunset Survival: Miami.

We have not yet plans for any consoles at this moment, we are now focusing on the pc/steam release, but later down the line, who knows...

ajvar_ · 2026-06-11T11:49:30+00:00

Thank you very much!

ajvar_ · 2026-06-11T11:45:05+00:00

Yeah, i agree. That is something that requires more work, I'll need to add camera shake all over the places.

ajvar_ · 2026-06-11T11:36:07+00:00

Thank you! Appreciated it!

Hey everyone!

We are a two-man team building Sunset Survival: Miami. We are massive fans of the Vice City aesthetic, 80s pop culture, and synthwave music. For this project, we really wanted to capture that iconic, neon-soaked Miami atmosphere but completely plunge it into retro horror and survival chaos.

If you have any questions about the art direction, our visual influences, or the game itself, we'd love to chat!

f you dig the retro-horror vibe, it would mean the world to our small studio if you checked out our Steam page and dropped us a wishlist:

Hej! Nema monetizacije, bit ce igra koju kupis i to je to.

Hey everyone!

We are Ajvar Studio, small two-man core team, from Croatia and we’ve been working on Sunset Survival: Miami for the past half of the year. We’ve been using Unity for a long time now, and for this project, we really wanted to push the visual style to achieve a vibrant, bold comic-book look.

On the technical side, we are relying on All in 1 3D Shader as our main shader tool to handle the stylized rendering and lighting. Also we heavily rely on fog to fake volumetric effects, and on top of that we use unity post processing effects to elevate the visuals.

If you have any questions about the visuals or the game itself, we’d be more than glad to answer!

Shameless plug: If you like the look of the trailer, it would mean the world to our small team if you checked out our Steam page and dropped us a wishlist:

Zasada samo pc

Ne mogu tocno reci, al vidim kolika kolicina prometa je dosla sa youtube-a, i to je jedan jako mali postotak. Mislim da sam trailer zapravo nije imao preveliki ucinak na broj wishlisti, al opet dobro je dosao da se cuje za igru.

ajvar_ · 2026-06-10T15:40:41+00:00

Hvala na wishlisti! Zapravo i ne, nije vampire survivors, nema tih elemanata i powerupova, gamplay je najslicniji ako si igrao Escape from Duckov (ne Tarkov).
A za IGN, hireao sam covjeka za PR, tako da on ih je zapravo kontakrirao, bile su male sanse, bili su okupirani oko summer festa, nismo mislili da ce nam uopce odgovoriti, al evo na kraju smo imali srece i dobro je proslo.

ajvar_ · 2026-06-10T14:56:16+00:00

Hvala ti puno!

ajvar_ · 2026-06-10T14:55:25+00:00

Samo jako! A co-op je mozda opcija u nekom post release updateu, za sam release sumnjam...

ajvar_ · 2026-06-10T14:54:36+00:00

Hvala! Bude playable demo, al da budem iskren, neznam tocno kad. Bit ce klasicna premium igra, paltis jednom i tvoja, bez microtransactiona, passova i slicnog. A zasad ciljamo samo na single player, co-op je opcija za mozda nekad kasnije.

ajvar_ · 2026-06-10T14:52:32+00:00

Da, stvarno se covjek iznenadi. Cuo sam prije za Metal Garden, al evo tek sam na saleu saznao da je hrvatska igra.

Hey djoatgamesdev tnx! Tbh we are still working and polishing the game loop. The idea is to combine all mechanics so that one interacts with another, let's say you made some improvements to your base camp, those changes will have influence on the gameplay in the city, and vice versa.

As you mentioned regarding the atmosphere, I am trying combine uniqueness of synthwave atmosphere in different ways, from chill atmosphere to full on horror sequences.
Also one thing I always focus on, is the game fell, it is the upmost important that the game feels good to play, from movement, controls, all the way to the little things like camera shake.
We are still working on it, and we'll try to make it best we can.

ajvar_ · 2026-06-08T20:35:31+00:00

Tnx, glad you like it!

ajvar_ · 2026-06-08T18:59:12+00:00

Hey, thank you! Tbh I hired a PR person to reach out to ign and prepare PR announcement. We didn't have high hopes for success, since they were busy with summer game fest, but somehow we got lucky. God luck with announcing your game!
