TEiN: Shattered Spectrum
TEiN: Shattered Spectrum is a fan-made expansion for The End is Nigh.
- As many areas as there are in the base game of TEiN, each containing its own set of mechanics;
- 450 tumors and 5 new cartridges to collect;
- A reasonably smooth difficulty curve;
- An entirely new soundtrack[soundcloud.com], composed by Scavenger[scavengersongs.carrd.co];
- New cutscenes and lots of other custom visuals SurrealDude helped implement!
- A story which ties into the plot of the original game and expands upon it;
- One ending;
- An ever-present sense of dread.
- Exurbia for the permission to use their "December 1st – Waltz for Four Hands, for a Friend" as the main menu theme!
- Finxx, Butcherberries, Adenator, Meh32, and Rads for additional help with visual assets!
- Uzerro and TANK for their help with Spectrum’s first trailer!
- TruePlantixx[bsky.app] for the live-action teaser video!
- v3slimeman for editing the release trailer!
- Bullsquid, cynops, and Goldian for doing pre-release testing for version 1.0!
- Every TEiN community member who worked on the Anniversary 1 and Anniversary 2 mods! The version of Shattered Spectrum you see here started out as a combined remake of those two mods and evolved into something completely different over the years. It kept a lot of the Anniversary 2 DNA, including many of its visual themes and some of its level design. And the cartridges are loosely based on certain parts of Anniversary 1.
- Everyone else who supported Spectrum’s development by contributing assets, helping with balancing, as well as simply playing and talking about the mod!
- Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel for creating The End is Nigh!
Shattered Spectrum is built for players who have beaten the original game and are looking for more TEiN.
The mod starts out slow, with the difficulty being similar to that of the main map of the original game. The difficulty gradually ramps up from there, but should remain manageable even at its peak.
Shattered Spectrum does not feature levels with limited lives (outside of cartridges).
Absolutely! If you found a bug, encountered levels which seemed unintuitive/poorly balanced, or are simply curious about something related to this project (or any other projects I’ve published on the Workshop), leave a comment.
You can also join the Discord server[discord.gg] to chat about the mod and stay up to date with what I’m working on.
