[ad_1] Microsoft recently held a virtual press showcase to flaunt four intriguing indie games coming to Xbox (and in several cases, other platforms too) in the near future, including Still Wakes the Deep, the long-awaited next project from Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture developer The Chinese Room. It was a little unclear whether the showcase would ultimately be made public – apparently not! – but hopefully this short list can still serve as an aide-mémoire for some interesting titles due in the near-ish future. First up was Nightscape from Mezan Studios, a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer coming “soon”…

[ad_1] If you’re partial to the grim delights of Phasmophobia and not averse to the sicko enjoyments of Lethal Company, you might like new horror game Content Warning, which kind of blends the two and has the additional virtue of being free on Steam till 9am PT/5pm UK on 2nd April. In this spooky co-op treat from Landfall Publishing, you play a bunch of amateur filmmakers – or tubers, as the kids possibly still insist on calling them – who must board a spaceship, travel to another planet and film anything monstrous they stumble on.

[ad_1] This Week’s Work:My goal for my last sprint of Ciros work was to implement two more enemy types, with placeholder sprites that will be added and animated by another team member.Both enemy types are stationary, but they both have some form of projectile, which doesn’t really exist for any other enemies except for the boss, so that needed a fresh implementation.The first enemy shoots out a homing projectile when in range of the player. The homing script was easy to copy over from the boss script, but getting the attack range was tricky because of how contact damage works…

[ad_1] The video game industry is undergoing changes following the reality check of 2023 (which persists into this year) by not meeting disproportionate goals. However, this has also had an impact on agreements between publishers, developers, and platform owners, such as in the indie scene that until a few years ago relied on exclusivity deals or releases on Epic Games Store and Xbox Game Pass as a form of financing, something that has now ended. Independent Devs No Longer Find Good Exclusive Deals on Platforms or Services A report from PCGamer shared statements from developers of indie games Slay the…

[ad_1] Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League spends much of its first couple of hours introducing the Justice League and establishing just how out of their depth the squad is, and while all of these introductions are pretty neat, one in particular stands out: Batman’s. Naturally, there are spoilers beyond. The criminal quartet has narrowly avoided being captured by a now-evil Green Lantern thanks to the timely intervention of the Flash. He’s still a do-gooder, you see, and boss lady Amanda Waller needs the Suicide Squad to bring him back to the Hall of Justice. This task is made easier by…
