Flying in first this week is Frog Island - a name that doesn’t quite hit the tongue-twisting ambitions of the game proper. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings We are also working on The Netherlands to make some improvements there, so expect to see some screenshots and videos soon! What do you think?#indiegames #unity3d #gamedev pic.twitter.com/d1JgrejkeN — Frog Island ? (@FrogIslandGame) July 11, 2020 Nothing quite gets me excited in a game as much as slick, fast movement....

In fairness, the incest this time is via students asking each other to prom via notes in lockers, so it’s a bit more of an edge case thing. From the bug report it seems players can most easily replicate by making a sim leave a note for their sibling. So, although it does make it seem like the students are just being sneaky, it’s kind of on you. The werewolf stuff is less concerning, really....

It’s this tension that makes South Of The Circle such an engrossing story. With player choices that subtly tug the game’s narrative needle in ways you might not expect, it’s clear skies and fair winds for the game’s three-hour journey. But with an abrupt ending after a calculated slow-burn drama, it’s a rough landing. When we first meet Peter he’s not in a good way. He’s sitting in the passenger seat next to an unconscious pilot in a plane that’s just crashed in the middle of an icy tundra in Antarctica....

That news comes courtesy of Variety, which reports that John Wick writer Derek Kolstad has been brought on to write and executive produce an adaptation of Tom Clancey’s Goggleboy. What’s interesting is the direction they’re taking it - reportedly opting for an anime series rather than the more predictable gritty, live-action “prestige” affair. Supposedly, Netflix have ordered a two-season, 16-episode run of Sam Fisher’s animated hijinks. Granted, there’s every reason to be sceptical....

OpenJK by The OpenCoders Crew If you’ve not played Jedi Academy in a while and have upgraded to Windows 10, odds are good that you’ll run into a brick wall the moment you try launching the game. Thankfully, modders have already come to your rescue. Even if you don’t plan on playing anything game-altering, you’ll want to grab OpenJK. As the name suggests, it’s an open source overhaul to some of the creakier parts of the game’s engine....

Well, turns out Matt was right, and I was not. It’s not like I don’t get the principle. It’s like a loyalty scheme, innit. You buy games, and with every bit of real money you spend, you accrue pretend money with which you can buy fun little things from the shop you’ve done business with. The going rate is 124 Steam Points for every paaaahnd. I don’t understand quite how it works with the Steam trading card system, which I was never interested enough in to figure out, nor the badge-crafting system which I’m pretty sure is part of it, but apparently those two things still exist, and it all makes sense....

It’s another piece of information that’s been dropped by a developer via a random channel, a bit like how we found out yesterday that all the games in Valve’s initial reveal video for the Steam Deck were running off the SD card. On the mode’s discussion page, SparklyVapor asked: “Is the Steam Deck OS like the next step for Big Picture? In comparison to the UI that we have now everything just looks so outdated and I would love for most of the features to be translated to the awfully outdated big picture mode....

In this guide, we break down all of the Sheet Music locations in Stray. As you find Sheet Music in the world, you’ll notice that they each have a number out of eight in the name, which should help you easily remember which ones you’ve already found. All Sheet Music locations in Stray Below, you’ll find every Sheet Music location in Stray: Sheet Music 1: Momo’s flat Sheet Music 2: Outside Clementine’s apartment Sheet Music 3: Elliot’s house Sheet Music 4: The Market Place Sheet Music 5: Upstairs in the bar Sheet Music 6: Inside Clementine’s apartment Sheet Music 7: Doc’s library Sheet Music 8: Mysterious Safe...

The games were originally removed from GOG by “publisher request”, the publisher being EA. There was no reason given for the removal. “It seems that twenty years on there’s still plenty of love for these titles so we’re pleased to confirm that effective immediately they’ll be available again on GOG, and we’ll be keeping them in the store for the foreseeable future,” a statement from EA said as part of the announcement of their return....

Bennett also told me a bit about what it was like working with Doug Cockle (voice actor of Geralt in The Witcher series) who narrates this game, their plans for more stories in the Tails Of Iron world, and why he thinks the genre is so popular. But honestly, I’m a little hung up on why he thinks frogs are evil, so we’ll get to all that in a bit....

Teardown is built upon a piece of technical wizardry that allows almost anything in the world to be destroyed. The destruction is completely granular. Take a sledgehammer to a wall, and you will crack open the plaster and brick at the exact position you struck. Drive a large boat into a wooden cabin built atop a pier, and the cabin - and boat - will crunch, splinter and collapse into the ocean....

Temtem Ganki guide In this Ganki guide for Temtem, I will be showing you where to find your first Ganki, as well as explaining why it’s a great early game option for new Temtem tamers. Do be sure to check out the rest of the Temtem list. Ganki location In one of the early areas of the game, you can find the Ganki in the Thalassian Cliffs. They’ll be around levels 5-8 and will have access to the techniques Sparks, Nimble, Wind Blade, and potentially DC Beam....

So yeah, there are quite a few different NPCs out there. They each with their own set of requirements that you need to fulfil before they move into your town. This Terraria NPCs guide details how many NPCs are in Terraria, and how to unlock NPCs in both pre-Hardmode and Hardmode. How many NPCs are in Terraria? | Moving in requirements for Terraria NPCs | Pre-Hardmode NPCs | Hardmode NPCs |...

Remember when BioShock pulled the rug from beneath you so hard you cracked your head on the wet tiles? Remember when the dragon scales fell from your eyes during The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? Here’s the 10 best plot twists in PC games. (I’ve limited it to games that are at least a couple of years old, still, don’t be sad if you read spoilers.) The assassin’s error - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion There’s a line of quests in Oblivion in which you join the Dark Brotherhood, a league of fearful assassins....

I should, of course, note that the GPU inside any given console box is quite different from the types of graphics card that go inside our PCs. They’re a different shape, have different cooling mechanisms and utilise several aspects of their unique console design to help them achieve their respective power targets. As you’ll see from Digital Foundry’s full Xbox Series X reveal, the Xbox Series X is no different....

In a blog post, lead world designer John Mulkey said that the gameplay experience “will be the same regardless of platform” during the co-op preview, although principal software engineering lead Isaac Bender added there may still be differences in graphics quality and frame rate depending on your platform of choice. Happily, the way of forming your co-op squad will be exactly the same as forming a Fire Squad over in the game’s multiplayer....

While Noelle isn’t technically free to play, most players will likely obtain her early on thanks to her being a guaranteed drop on the Beginner’s Wish banner, which you can easily claim your 20 pulls on using the free currencies you earn in-game. As one of the stronger characters you’ll likely get in the early game, Noelle will probably form a key part of your starting party, with her Elemental Skill and 1st Ascension Passive making her a perfect candidate for a Shield Support role....

I’ve been picking games recently where the modders have expanded tools and mechanics in order to craft an ideal version of the game, so a fair few of the mods here focus on quality of life again. Stardew’s modders really have made the farming experience a lot more parsable, meaning your work there can be as automated and as sharply focused as you like. Just a couple of the mods below will make your ground more fertile....
