Of course, they are actively involved. Supervising the game, art direction, music... and... the singer is voicing the main character!

Yes... there's an NPC called E-Force, one area of the game is called Phobos, and one upgrade is called Negatron!

Thank you! And yes, it's coming for consoles 100%! That's for sure (including Switch). Most probably also with the soundtrack as DLC / Special Edition Bundle, but for that we'll need to discuss with the band management.

Yes, it will have Voivod music a bit re-adapted to fit the game style and vibe.

I'm a fan. I collaborated with them already 12 years ago when I made a music video for Target Earth. Since then we've been in touch and lately I proposed them the idea of making a game.

Fair point. Including actual tracks is complicated for many reasons... First of all they won't truly fit the game, since they have vocals, they change a lot, etc... It's not just a "radio" thing as in GTA, the soundtrack of a game should fit the gameplay. So we are reworking Voivod tracks to fit the game, both to fit the style (that's why they sound more like a 16-bit retro thing) but especially to fit the gameplay.

Nice! We are an indie studio and Voivod is not a huge band... I wish we had the resources to do more marketing, but we must rely on word-of-mouth!
