Transcendence

Transcendence is a single-player, realtime game of space combat and adventure. You pilot a small starship, fighting enemies, looting wrecks, and trading with friendly stations. Your ship can be enhanced with new weapons, shields, and useful devices. The game is played in 2D top-down perspective with your ship in the center and with combat mechanics reminiscent of Star Control. The goal of the game is to reach the Galactic Core by traveling from star system to star system along a chain of stargates. In version 1.0, the game only goes as far as the edge of Human Space, but subsequent versions will continue the adventure into the rest of the galaxy.

Space Exploration: Serpens Sector (Dev 10)

posted in LINUX, MAC, NEWS, RPG | Leave a Comment

Space Exploration: Serpens Sector is an upcoming RPG by Metal Beetle Ltd. It’s a work in progress, but you can download a development preview now.

In SE:SS, you are tasked with charting the long-abandoned Serpens Sector, a region of space reached through a wormhole near Earth. Each star system you visit brings you an encounter with something – aliens, ancient ruins, other humans and many dangers. The map and encounters are chosen at random for each game, which means that each game plays out differently.

Author releases new previews every once in a while and he is very interested in any feedback – so once you’ve tried it out, head over to the developer’s forum and tell him what you think – or use the feedback form. You can also follow the game’s development on Twitter.

The base game will be free and there will be expansion packs for sale. The 1.0 version of the game is scheduled to be released later this year, and will be available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Alganon goes Subscription Free

They switched to a Guild Wars like business model, basically buy the client and play for free.

Participating in the online gaming industry is more challenging now than it has ever been and the Free to Play market has changed the game. Partially for the good. Partially for the bad. It has resulted in more choices for gamers, but lessened the quality of so many released products and Micro transactions are now becoming the norm. To evolve with the ever changing market, Alganon has moved to a Subscription Free model.

There is a difference between Free to Play (F2P) and Subscription Free (SF). F2P gives the client away so there is zero barrier of entry. This creates a game world where anyone can just come in and do their thing. The drawback is the lack of controlling troublemakers and defining the general social maturity of a game.

We decided to keep the purchase price to prevent Alganon from being saturated by gamers who have no investment in the game they are playing. Even though we are subscription free most gamers prefer to play with others who are committed to the game to some degree.

White Knight Chronicles

posted in NEWS, VIDEO | Leave a Comment

Lately i was surfing the net, and came up on this title…
I was looking for a simple rpg to play while lying on the sofa, on the tv screen just for relaxing during those evening when you are not going to exit with friends..
Decided to investigate, i read some reviews around the web, and the opinions are really different there are guys who sunk this game, others who found this game brilliant. Well you know for me giant turtle monster with a city on their back does some eye-candy effect. Keep digging i found out this game has an online co-operative component too..

Called Georama, here follows the details: this system is an online mode that lets the player create their own town. It can function as lobby and allows to set up a shop. People can enter this virtual town and also take a look around. The editing mode functions as a system that can be placed from a list of objects ranging from houses and other garden accessories to anything customizable for the town. Towns can be placed in the middle of plains, deserts, or wilderness. There are six different field types. Other items can also help to shape the hub, e.g. elevated platforms, embankments, trees, and other items.Non-player characters can be recruited to towns from Story Mode. This makes the player’s Georama change depending on whoever living in it. Non-player characters have jobs and specific skill levels, which will affect the kind of materials and items available to use in Georama. Each player has their own Geonet that can create up to 20 Georama rooms. A maximum of 12 people can visit a customized town and 4 including the host can enter a quest room. With the use of the Georama system, there are multiplayer quests called sub-quests where you can clear with up to 4 other players including the player him or herself. For this, you use your own created Avatar and control it instead of using the Main Story character, Leonard. Your Avatar’s level and equipment will be the same as your Avatar in the story mode. More quests will become available throughout the progress of your story. You will unlock more quests as your guild rank increase while you accumulate points. You can also play these quests by yourself as well.

So an easy to pick-up hack and slash with an offline story mode and a nice online component, sometimes it’s nice just to start a party and play just for fun and relaxing..
This game could be a real surprise.. and you what do you think?
