Skyward Collapse is Now Available on Steam and is 10% off for the first week of launch!
How do you balance -- and indeed encourage -- a war between factions without letting either side obliterate the other? How do you rule over gods, creatures, and men who refuse to obey you? How do you build a landscape of villages when bandits and mythology are conspiring to tear it down? Skyward Collapse places you into the role of The Creator, and frees you to tackle these problems your own way. Brought to you by the developer of the modern strategy classic AI War: Fleet Command, Arcen's second full strategy title is equally unique (but far easier to learn): a turn-based 4x strategic god-game.

- Improved the way certain rare file errors are handled.
- Creating an adjustment transaction to a debt account will now create a pre-ynab debt category if necessary.

NeocoreGames' The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing was recently released on Steam to little fanfare. It looks fairly impressive for a $15 RPG, even though I get Diablo vibes so strong I can practically hear the menu music. They made a hell of a launch trailer, at least.

Downtrodden horror author Alan Wake stars in the latest Humble Weekly Sale, which offers up downloadable Windows versions of Remedy's third-person shooter Alan Wake and its follow-up American Nightmare for a buyer-chosen price (minimum $1).
Bundle buyers will receive DRM-free downloads of Alan Wake: Collector's Edition and Alan Wake's American Nightmare, along with Steam keys for both games. The package features a bevy of bonus material, including digital comic books, a playthrough video, and standalone episodes of the Remedy-produced "Night Springs" fictional television series - new episodes of which Joystiq debuted last year.
Xbox Live hosts its own Alan Wake series sale this week. Through May 29, the Xbox 360 Games on Demand version of Alan Wake is priced at 400 Microsoft points ($5), while the Xbox Live Arcade follow-up American Nightmare is a dollar cheaper at 320 points. Alan Wake DLC and avatar items are also on sale through next week.
In the announcement video above, Remedy's Sam Lake (who you might recognize as Max Payne's face model) reveals that the Alan Wake series has sold over three million units to date, and addresses fan reaction to the company's decision to develop the upcoming Xbox One-exclusive title Quantum Break, rather than an Alan Wake sequel.
"We definitely want to keep on working on Alan Wake," Lake assures. "I definitely want to create something new for Alan Wake, when the time is right."

Ever wonder what's going on below Wilson's feet? Wonder no more! This is the first in a series of updates to create a new explorable game area underground. While there are
plenty of fun things to find and experiment with down there, please keep in mind that this is just an early version of the overall vision for the caves. As such, it's a bit
sparse, and you may encounter bugs. We'll be fixing things and adding new monsters, objects, and mechanics down there for 3-4 more updates.
NEW FEATURES (78071):
-We've added the first pass of the new Caves biome. We won't spoil anything by telling you what's down there. You should be able to find one cave entrance somewhere on Survival maps generated post-launch but before this update. Newly generated maps will have a handful of different entrances, all leading to different caves.
TUNING:.
-Shift-click moves items between open containers. Ctrl-Shift-click manipulates stacks in the same way
-Hammering is now a RMB action.

Save 66% on Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion during this week's Midweek Madness*!
While many were hopeful that diplomacy would finally end the war, differing opinions on what should be done, along with the depleted power of the controlling factions, has led to a splintering of the groups involved.
The loyalist members of the Trader Emergency Coalition adopt a policy of isolation, focusing on enhanced defenses to ride out the rest of the war. Those who rebel against the coalition take on a purely militant view, coming to the opinion that the only way to bring peace is by ultimately crushing all who oppose them - especially xenos.
Take the battle for galactic supremacy to its ultimate level in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion a standalone RT4X game that combines the tactics of real-time strategy with the depth of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate).

Over the weekend, Valve's DOTA 2 broke the record for most concurrent gamers playing on Steam. It surpassed the previous record set by...Valve's DOTA 2.
On Saturday, 328,713 people were playing the company's still-in-beta MOBA title. At the same time. That's crazy.
Not as crazy as the numbers of its main competitor, League of Legends - which claims to have over 500,000 concurrent players in just one region - but still, impressive.
