Join us at biggest and craziest game developers conference in Europe, Reboot Develop 2017 in Dubrovnik from 20th – 22nd of April. Reboot Develop starts in two days and we are in final stages of preparation.

More than 100 distinguished lectures will visit Dubrovnik to share their wisdom with interested audience. Our CTO, Alen Ladavac has the honor to open this years conference with his opening keynote Game Developer’s Meaning of Life.

Also, Croteam’s main composer and CMO Damjan Mravunac will hit the stage with his guitar to sing best songs from Disney’s musicals. Or not. Who knows.

Lead Gameplay Programmer, Goran Adrinek is returning once again to Reboot stage this time with a must-hear lecture about Mixed Reality in Serious Sam VR.

Near the poolside area you can catch Reboot panelists Ante Vrdelja and Davor Tomicic discussing serious and less serious topics regarding game marketing and the art of stripping down. This should be fun.

Hopefully some of this intrigued you enough to join us at beautiful seaside Dubrovnik. See you there!

Today we are celebrating the beginning of Serious Sam glory, the release of first series in Sam’s universe, The First Encounter. We were young twenty-something guys that shared one mutual dream – to develop video games. Serious Sam: The First Encounter was our breakthrough title and, oh boy, it caused a commotion in the gaming community. Demo for the game became the most downloaded demo of the summer 2000. Croteam partnered up with the Gathering of Developers (Devolver Digital today) and they became our publishers for this and all future Sam’s titles.

Fast-forward 16 years later and we are in 2017., year of virtual reality. We love VR and we love experimenting with it and one of our newest experiments is Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter. It’s a full locomotion game for the brave ones with the possibility of teleportation for the entry-level VR players. Game is in Early Access on Steam and it’s set for the full release soon.

Just in time for a Christmas surprise – we are proud to present you fast paced arcade action FPS and best VR experience ever –  Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter.

The game is released on Steam Early Access and is available at 10% off for the first week. But that’s not all!  There’s an additional 10% discount for owners of Serious Sam HD: TFE and 20% for owners of Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope which makes it for a maximum total discount of whooping 40%. Yaaaay! (no, you won’t get a set of knives with it)

Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter is a full locomotion game with the smooth trackpad movement for the brave ones, built-in teleportation system to dodge the enemies and plain teleport with aiming for entry-level VR players. It features single player and a multiplayer mode which includes up to 16 players in various cooperative and versus modes. Deathmatch included. And that one is a blast!

Double the gun, double the fun and gain the courage to oppose Mental because your ultimate goal is to stop him once and for all. Travel back through time to ancient Egypt and fight against various enemies in what is considered to be one of the most visually enjoyable VR experiences.

Since the game is released in Early Access expect major upgrades, tweaks, and bugfixes soon.

Together with our friends and publishers Devolver Digital we can announce the first major update for Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope – online cooperative game mode, now available on Steam Early Access.

The new co-op mode allows for two players to play campaign online. This puts players side by side inside the VR simulation of Captain Sam’s combat logs with each player controlling one of two virtual-but-deadly versions of Sam Stone to deliver double the damage on Mental’s hordes of enemies. Players can jump in and start doling out destruction via either HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. Now you can finally blast those enemies with your best friend!

In addition to that, players can choose between two new difficulty settings: Tourist and Serious, both in single player and co-op mode.
