About the Developer
Longneck Studios
Vector Breach is developed by Longneck Studios, the game development label of Christopher Cooper. Chris is a lifelong musician(pianist, vocalist, and drummer) born to two professional musician parents, who attended Berklee College of Music and later Millersville University for Computer Science. He has been on tour multiple times and is based in Boston, MA.
Longneck is the modern jazz quintet Chris co-leads with Coleman Hovey, and several tracks in Vector Breach’s synthwave soundtrack are remixes of original Longneck songs.
Music isn’t a feature of Vector Breach—it’s the foundation. ARIA’s abilities are named after musical terms: Reprise, Da Capo, Dissonance, Fortissimo, Fermata, Sforzando. Her voice is a real-time audio-reactive waveform driven by the soundtrack. Her narrative is laced with references to Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett, and more. The game was made by a musician who writes code, not a programmer who likes music.
The game is built entirely in Go using the Ebitengine game framework. From the spatial grid collision system to the bloom post-processing shaders, every system is hand-crafted for performance and visual fidelity.
