Exciting news everyone!

A new HUGE patch just released for Red Trigger Remake! It includes save games and French as a written language! You can read more about the patch here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/491130/Red_Trigger/

Enjoy!

Red Trigger is an FPS Puzzle game inspired by Portal, Antichamber and more. Use a gun that can expand or retract red blocks. The catch? You can only expand three blocks at a time - so you need to manage your energy wisely.

Hi everyone!

Long time no see! We went under the radar for a while to put all of our energy into the remaster/remake of the first Red Trigger (2016), and let us tell you, it's shaping up to be amazing and will release soon! Stay updated by following us!

Some of you may remember that a couple of months ago, we've announced a rebranding strategy, and that we were gonna release the remake as a new game. For reasons outside our control and that we won't get into, we won't be able to do that. Therefore, we're shifting back to something really simple : We will update the 2016 game with the remake that's been remade from the ground up! It will be simply known as "Red Trigger". The sequel will go back to be named "Red Trigger 2".

We deeply apologize for the unnecessary confusion. Also, we've raised the price from free to 6,99$ US. If you've already downloaded the game before, you will get the remake for free. If you feel that you would have paid for it and want to support us, we invite you to support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/boldspiritgamestudio) or to keep an eye out for our upcoming Kickstarter!

Red Trigger is an Action Adventure Puzzler, inspired by games like Portal, Metroid Prime, Bioshock and more, but very much has its own identity. Use a gun that can expand or retract red blocks, but you can only expand three at a time, so you'll need to manage your energy wisely. Those red blocks are used in many different and ingenious ways.

We've just put a LOT of love to our Steam pages for Red Trigger 1 & 2! Lots of GIFs and clarifications to better understand how the games play! We will soon be pitching Red Trigger 2 to publishers, so please wishlist the game to allow us to prove that there's a public HUNGRY for this game, so we can fund the project! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1610850/Red_Trigger_2/ A huge thank you!! ❤️

It's a wrap for Comiccon 2022! Thank you so much again to Loto-Québec for selecting us and providing this wonderful opportunity. We have so much talent here in Quebec, and it's great to see it being promoted. I must say that this was an incredibly humbling experience. Exhausting physically, but energizing mentally. After two years of blood and sweat, ups and downs, being in a cocoon, not knowing if what you're making is as special as you think and hope it is... to finally have the game in the hands of the players, seeing their faces light up, them being excited and wanting nothing but success for us, that was just... incredible. I also saw a lot of people I love that I haven't seen for a long time, and there's too many to name, but for example, I have my esteemed friend and ex-colleague Shawn Guzzo, who took the time to come by for a little bit to say to me ''We're all SO proud of you, man". That made me choke up with emotion. Thank you so much to everyone for your support. You may think that Bold Spirit is a single person effort, but the reality is actually far from it. All this wouldn't be possible without all the people around me believing in my vision and helping me realize it. Thank you to Anne-Marie Cantatore, Gabriel Essiambre, Émilie Bourgeois, Marie Côté, Kerry Williams, Ricardo Antonio Castillo Ramos, Jérôme Paupe, Laurent Jasmin, Marie-Lee Potvin, Edouard Guillaume, Shelby from Girlfriend Reviews, Hitchy Singh, Viky Boyer, Joey Arsenault, Cloé Gélinas, Cynthia Hétu and all our patreons. Thank you all so much. You believing in me means the world. This, this is just the first of many steps in the long history of Bold Spirit Game Studio, which I hope one day will be a name to remember. - Max

We're ready to roll! 🤩 #zoneindie2022

Vaulting

In Red Trigger 2, we've added an automatic vault if you're really close to the ledge you're trying to reach. This simple change makes the navigation way more fluid and avoids frustrating situations where you bonk your head on a ledge you should have reached. This feature was implemented by our wonderful intern Marie-Lee Potvin and polished by me, Maxime Vézina. Enjoy! 😄 Note : Please note that double-jumping will be an unlockable ability, and not something you can do straight away when you start the game.

Red Trigger 2 Menus

To increase player's immersion, in Red Trigger 2, the menus are made from your gun itself! 😱 How crazy cool is that?! 😁 Make sure to wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1610850/Red_Trigger_2/

Aaaah, the classic struggle of being a developer, when you're so close to the result you want, but not quite yet 😄 Sensitive stomachs beware, trippy gravity change ahead! #indiedev #indiegame #BehindtheScenes
