Digital Homicide Studios LLC

Digital Homicide was a game developing company ran by brothers Robert and James Romine. They were notorious for releasing broken "asset flipping" games on Steam, being sensitive to criticism and using different company names to guise their shady business practices. The company folded on February 2017 after failing to sue game critic Jim Sterling and 100 anonymous Steam users.

Concepts

First-Person Perspective
2
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
Crouching
1
The act of bending at the knees from a standing position. Crouching is an essential part of many shooters and platformers, and can be used by players to stay behind cover or avoid incoming projectiles.
Glitch
1
A glitch is an action performed within the bounds of a game engine that was not intended by the game's developers. Glitches are often performed by the player, though they can also occur independently.
Sprinting
1
A gameplay mechanic which allows the player to move faster than the normal speed. Usually for a set amount of time.
Crosshair
1
A sight placed on the HUD used to aim and provide a point of reference to the player when looking and interacting with the game world. Although they often aim weapons, they have a variety of uses and have appeared in many games in many different forms.
Steam
1
Steam is a digital distribution service owned by Valve. Originally created to distribute its own games, Steam has since expanded to become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games, and supports community features, downloadable content and achievements. Starting 2010, Steam now offers Mac games; Linux games were added in 2012.
Digital Distribution
1
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
Vision Obstruction
1
A visual obstruction is an extra layer added to the player's viewpoint. Most common in first person games to add to the notion that you are looking through a character's eyes. Obstructions include blood, water and ice crystals.
Level Selection
1
Games that allow the player to choose which level to play next, rather than a fixed linear order.
Exploding Barrel
1
An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.
