Imagine the ability to scour through people’s dreams – able to scour through adventures, fantasy, and learn the many secrets of the mind. Caxton is just an ordinary student attending Solaris Notre University, but when he joins an escape group he learns of this special…
I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to start telling you about Paradigm; a bizarre looking adventure game from Jacob Janerka. At first I was going to say that I’ve never done mass amounts of coke, but if I had, and decided to…
A mobile MMORPG and TCG seems completely unheard of, and in fact, it’s such a rare combination to see. But Eminence: Xander’s Tales, developed by London-based Aeterna Studios, is something I’ve never seen before. In Eminence: Xander’s Tales, players are able to explore a virtual…
Kickstarter is an interesting microcosm of personalities; especially from a developer standpoint. You’ve got scammers, industry professionals, amateurs, kids, dreamers, and everything in-between. The ones that I find most interesting, though, are those that ask other people for money so that they can violate someone…
Elliot Collis on his Hand Painted Adventure, desolate with Greg Micek [divider] [dropcap]d[/dropcap]esolate – no capitalization, please – is a new adventure platformer from Elliot Collis that’s in the midst of a Kickstarter funding campaign. The game tackles some pretty heavy topics, including depression, abandonment, sacrifice,…
In an entirely unsuprising development, the Jazz Jackrabbit Revival Kickstarter campaign has been hit with a copyright violation claim, which is as close to a death blow as you can get before getting forcibly cancelled. The claim, as submitted by Epic Games, reads: [divider] Jazz…
It’s not everyday you hear a game described as a “procedurally generated roguelite pet simulator RPG” but that’s exactly what Cube and Me purports itself to be. At firs the mishmash of terms is overwhelming, but it actually makes a lot of sense once you…
Have you heard of the game Pathologic before? In the West, the game isn’t massively well known, though there is a devoted following for it. This is in part because the 2005 game was never officially released in Western territories (outside of a more recent GOG.com…
The United States court system is inherently fascinating, although mightily complex to most onlookers. As such, it makes sense that there are not many games beyond the Phoenix Wright series out there seeking to simulate this facet of society. Enter law student Scott Goldsmith. He’s the…
When Jazz Jackrabbit launched in 1994 it gained a lot of PC gaming attention. Developed and published by Epic MegaGames (now known as simply Epic Games), a fandom quickly formed around the series. Original designer Cliff Bleszinski has long since moved onto other projects much…
Why aren’t westerns more popular in video game format? Sure, there’s a few here and there but not a ton overall. Six Miles Under is a new project looking to take on a western style to the fullest with a story about truth and revenge….
The apocalypse has occurred and all humans are gone. Not everything has disappeared as a result, though. Robots which were created by people still remain on the Earth as “living” beings. Without purpose in their lives, they simply form tribes and co-exist. And yet, one…
So many gaming fans in the world purely consume games without ever taking a look at what goes on to create them. Some test the waters of programming but find it daunting and never look back. CodeSpells is one of the few games that is…
Dinosaurs are pretty awesome. I, as well as many others, had a deep fascination with the creatures as a child and some of that love still exists. That’s why any crowdfunding campaign related to dinosaurs is of immediate interest. Dinosaur Island is an attempt to…
A lot of the time video games don’t really focus much on emotion. We see tons of first person shooters with powerful protagonists who wouldn’t really know emotion if it blasted them with a rocket. To me, that makes any games that deal directly with…
The team at Pardis Game Studio love comic books. It’s because of this that they’ve been working on a game inspired by the likes of Sin City and The Boys for two years. The Dark Phantom is that project and is a third person shooter…
