Storm Chasers

About this game

Tornadoes and hurricanes are the most dangerous storms nature can throw at us. They can destroy entire buildings and cause thousands of injuries or deaths. Most people who live in areas susceptible to these storms keep a close eye on weather reports and take cover or evacuate when one is on the way. Storm chasers keep an even closer eye on weather data, but for a different reason. When a tornado or hurricane happens, they want to be there to observe and record it.

Be one of those intrepid storm chasers that tracks deadly tornadoes in this online multiplayer video game. Your goal is to shoot the best twisters pictures without dying because of powerful winds and flying debris. Feel the challenge of correctly forecasting and intercepting storms with the optimal vantage points before other players. Get into your car, travel through a big detailed map, activate pods and get as near as possible to snap the best photos.

  Working on v0.10

  Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I last shared an update on the development of Storm Chasers. As many of you already know, I'm still working on version v0.10, which will bring many major changes. One of those changes, which is already finished, is the new way to obtain equipment and upgrades (cars, clothes, etc.) in the game. XP will no longer be used; instead, players will have to save money to buy these upgrades directly in stores within towns and cities. Here you can see a short video of one of those stores: Another major change—one of the most complex but also most requested by players—is the creation of a new map. I'm working on a map that is much larger than the current one, featuring highways, rivers, train tracks, forests, and much more. It's turning out great, but optimizing so many elements is taking longer than expected, and I'm still working on it. Here are some screenshots of the new map: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34829180/3d8bd58e408739eb8b17efc27d5be3ad997f9bbf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34829180/b340283d735f624f2fafc511ab4add4cd62f26c5.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34829180/8efd4edfe9981b08e3357259014f0c0fa7c2e93a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34829180/ee8a01857e91a39941ecb3a5976cfa9bc877457e.png I would also like to mention that the delay isn't just due to creating the map. I've also been working on a tool that will allow me to create new maps much more efficiently and quickly. Once version v0.10 is released, it wouldn't be surprising to see v0.11 with an additional new map just a few months later. That's all for today! I hope the wait is worth it, and after this new version, I can focus again on adding new gameplay features that I've been thinking about these past few months. Thank you so much for your patience! Hugs! ːsteamhappyː
