A Wild JRPG Appears! Earthlock: Festival of Magic

On the PC, we’re well supplied with nostalgia bait and fond memory ruiners. Not a day goes by without a Kickstarter or Greenlight campaign for another slice of the past or up-to-date take on a “classic.” However, the itch I find myself unable to scratch most often is for JRPGs. While a little effort to keep Steam stocked has been made by mega-corp of the genre Square Enix in recent years, it’s hardly as common as I’d wish. Timely over the horizon comes Earthlock: Festival of Magic, seeking its $150,000 fortune. Along with expected tropes, there’s a fine selection of systems that tickled my fancy in the demo, which you can read my impressions of and feast your eyes on a trailer for post-jump.

Some might notice that GBA games on the Wii U VC have a bit more in the bells and whistles department. If you're wondering why that is, we may have found the answer. Turns out Nintendo worked with M2 to get GBA games on the Wii U VC. For those unaware, M2 most recently was working on the 3D SEGA Classics lineup for the 3DS eShop.

Thankfully, as with From Outcast to Savior, you can use this new Viking Elite class in the other modes of the game. So if you manage to find someone to play with, or just want to grind for upgrades, you’ll have an extra way of doing it, which might make this new expansion more appealing.

- Art of Balance and FAST Racing Neo use Shin'en's second-generation Wii U engine
- both games use “a subset of the new engine”

“With FRN we wanted to get more realism. That was not possible with our old tech. So we implemented a lot of new stuff that allows us to get there. We are still learning but we think we are on a good way to create a really special Wii U game.

Art of Balance is more on the ‘stylized’ side and FAST more on the realism side. Now everything blends nicely together which we need to get on a new level.” - Shin'en CEO Manfred Linzer

Minicore heeding feedback for The Sun at Night sequel The Sky Below

Minicore Studios is roughly 30 percent of the way through The Sky Below, a sequel to The Sun at Night and the second installment in The Stray series. The Sky Below again stars Laika, the robot space dog with a big (and probably mechanical) heart, and it takes place directly after the ending of The Sun at Night. Minicore is taking into account feedback from players of The Sun at Night.

Tweaks to The Sky Below include the addition of three Laika Support Suits, one defensive, offensive and utility. Each suit has a specific weapon and passive ability boots, and they all build upon existing skill trees. The map will be streamlined into a 2D design, and the art will be ramped up in a way that makes it clear which areas are platforms and which aren't.

The Sky Below is due out in October 2014 for PC, Mac and Linux, and the team is looking at PS4, Vita and Wii U. [Image: Minicore Studios]

Renegade Kid's Cult County mixes horror, FPS, story in a dust bowl
Posted by Joystiq Apr 03 2014 02:30 GMT in Xbox One

joystiq.com
Cult County is a first-person survival horror game that takes cues from Telltale's The Walking Dead and horror classics such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil, according to developer Renegade Kid. That's the studio behind Mutant Mudds, Moon and the DS horror games, Dementium: The Ward and Dementium 2.

Cult County takes place in a small west-Texas town: Gavin Mellick's mother is on her deathbed and he's unable to reach his sister by phone, so he drives six hours to tell her the news in person, just beating a dust storm to his late aunt's house. As the dust gathers, Gavin learns about a new cult in town and the suicide of Father Pearce, and he begins to see shadowy figures on the edge of his vision. The game features melee and firearm combat, and the town deteriorates the longer Gavin sticks around.

"We have wanted to return to the survival horror genre for many years," Renegade Kid writes on its Kickstarter page. "And, our fans have told us the same thing! Many players have contacted us asking for Dementium 3. Without going into any icky details, certain contractual ties from the past make that impossible, unfortunately. So, instead of letting that hold us back, we decided to take matters into our own hands and develop a new survival horror experience with the same spirit."

Renegade Kid's Kickstarter campaign seeks $580,000 to complete the game for PC, Mac, Linux, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Vita. Cult County is already approved for Steam distribution, and it expects a development period of roughly one year. The studio revealed Cult County at PAX East in 2013, but then it was slated for 3DS only. [Image: Renegade Kid]
