[dropcap size=big]S[/dropcap]henmue 3 finished its month on Kickstarter with a massive $6,333,295 in funding. There’s no doubt that this is quite the impressive number, and far greater than their goal of just $2,000,000. In fact, it is such a high amount of funding that it…
Cyber Rhino Studios, the developers behind the upcoming 2D action game, Gryphon Knight, have released a new gameplay trailer for the game after a long hiatus. The developers even apologized for staying quiet so long as they’ve been working to finish up the game as…
