Indie game publishers are sharing their contracts for developers to inspect
Contract terms are one of those things that—no, wait, don't go. I promise this is important. Negotiating a contract is tough no matter what industry you're in, including publishing agreements for small game developers. The process of reaching an agreement is only made tougher by the lack of examples available. How do you know if you're signing a potentially bad deal if you don't have…
There's no way a game can be named something like "Call Of The Sea" and not have some sort of weird Cthulhu-y creature in it right? Or some sort of watery cult, perhaps? At least I'll be able to find out today, because the mysterious Call Of The Sea has launched. It's a first-person adventure puzzler where you play as a lady looking for her…
Beautiful island mystery Call Of The Sea weighs anchor next month
Exploring a gorgeous remote tropical island is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to do after this long, long year. While I certainly won't be jetting off to do this in person any time soon, at least I'll have Call Of The Sea to let me live that fantasy when it comes out on December 8th.
Side-scrolling monarch Kingdom: Classic is free on Humble this week
It must be easy to run a country when you've only two dimensions to work with. This week, Kingdom (that's Kingdom: Classic and not Kingdom: New Lands or Kingdom: Two Crowns) became free to download and keep over on the Humble Store. The old king may seem stripped down compared to its successors, but it'll let you dole out pennies across your lands without dropping…
Roguelikes! Getcha roguelikes here! It's a good time to be a fan of permadeath and trial and error. Yesterday, the excellent ScourgeBringer left early access, last week we got Noita, and today the colourful and chaotic platformer Gonner2 launched. I only played snippets of the first game, and it's as weird and wonderful as it looks. The original Gonner had players travelling through procedurally generated…
Truly the Basement Jaxx of videogames, shooty wobbly platforming sequel Gonner2 is almost ready to start asking where your head's at. The sequel to Ditto's absolute stunner of a side-scrolling roguelite, Gonner 2 dives into the underworld next Thursday, promising an even greater explosion of colour that threaten to knock the skull right off you.
It's tough work, farming through a nuclear winter. Tough enough that Atomicrops is now recruiting farmhands from beyond the confines of the Epic Games Store. Only a few months after release, publishers Raw Fury this week announced that their carrot-plucking twin-stick shooter is heading to Steam and GOG later this month - bringing a bounty of irradiated new content with it.
Feature: BREAK the cycle
There is a lot happening in Star Renegades. For a seemingly small game it throws an absurd amount of idea clay into the RPG kiln. What comes out of that fire is an impressive, if unwieldy, mosaic pot. You can easily spot pieces of other games. Into The Breach’s do-over storytelling, Grandia-esque timeline battles, a whiff of Shadow Of Mordor’s nemeses, and not-quite-Persona levels of…
Listen. Just because we've got a multiversal authoritarian state to demolish doesn't mean we can't take a few moments to enjoy the scenery. Released today, Star Renegades is a bloody stunning tactical roguelite RPG about smashing robots, dodging rivals, and catching some sweet sunsets at the end of the universe again, and again, and again.
Bad North, Night Call and Kingdom Two Crowns headline the latest Humble Bundle
It seems there's just no stopping the Humble Bundle train at the moment, as yep, you guessed it, they've only gone and made another gosh darned game bundle. This time, it's pillaged the back catalogue of publisher Raw Fury, the folks behind tiny Viking 'em up Bad North, monochrome taxi murder mystery Night Call and the side-scrolling strategy series Kingdom, all of which and more…
There are few games I'm excited for more than Shedwork's gorgeous sand-speeder Sable, which is why it stings to report that it's once again been pushed back a year. First due in 2019, then 2020, the lonely Mobius-inspired desert romp will now (hopefully) release in 2021. As consolation, here are 30 more seconds of the upcoming comic-book adventure to gawk at longingly, courtesy of a…
West Of Dead is a twin-stick cover shooter, with cowboy Ron Perlman
I watched some footage of West Of Dead in action... this week? Last week? Who can remember these things. And it occurred to me that I've somehow never seen a twin-stick cover shooter until now.In case that's not enough to pique your interest, you play as an undead cowboy Ron Perlman. It looks bloody good, and it's out now.
Splendid shoot-o-platformer Gonner will return later this year with a sequel, imaginatively titled Gonner2. Look, you don't need a fancy name when you have a giant monster made of giant eyes and teeth connected by jiggly tendons. Gonner was a good'un so yes, please, more. See the announcement trailer below.
Feature: Tough taters
Atomicrops is not your granpappy’s pixel art farming sim. It’s not a farming sim at all, really, but more a twin stick bullet-hell-and-tarnation with some very light nods to life-sim elements through upgrades. It’s also moreish, dizzyingly vibrant, and full of more squirming veggies than when you threw up that carrot cake your mum tried to make look like a regular birthday cake by dumping…
Feature: Skål!
I have written several times about the tiny Norse boys of Bad North. This mini strategy game sees you marshalling different squads of troops to defend a procedurally generated island from viking invaders.
Call Of The Sea is a period mystery on a distant island, with fishmen
Don't talk to me about the call of the sea. I've been stuck on land for six weeks now, separated from my beautiful wet wife by the lockdown, and you dare act like the call of the sea is just a game? I oughta t- hang on. Oh. I see. You mean Call Of The Sea, the video game announced today. Ah. Look pal, I…
I might only have briefly dabbled in farm work while travelling, but Atomicrops sure ain't how I remember it. I remember wellies and mud, yeah, but mutants? Shotguns? Seems suspect. With the turning of the seasons, Bird Bath Games' farm-person-shooter is ready to bring home the harvest, as Atomicrops prepares to leave early access on May 28th.
World War Z, Tormentor X Punisher and Figment go free on Epic Games this week
Zombies, demons and... music? This week's free rotation on the Epic Games Store is an odd mix-up, that's for sure. You know the drill by now - from today until next Thursday, World War Z, Tormentor X Punisher and Figment are free to keep forever over on Epic. Once Thursday rolls by, it's back to full price they go, replaced in kind by Gone Home…
Offworld Trading Company and Gonner free on Epic now, A Short Hike next week
Folks still like freebies 'round these parts, right? Hope so, because there's a pretty kickin' lineup of games to snatch on the Epic Games Store over the next week. Offworld Trading Company and Gonner are both free right now. That's one capitalism strategy simulator and one procedurally generated platformer for your library. Both are free until March 12th, at which point Epic roll out three…
