Nova Lands Explores New Territories on PC and Consoles June 22, 2023

June 7, 2023 | Publisher HypeTrain Digital and developer BEHEMUTT are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their base building game Nova Lands, which will take place on June 22, 2023. The game will skip the originally planned Early Access phase and immediately launch in its full version on PC (Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, as announced at The Guerrilla Collective. 

Nova Lands is a base building, exploration, and survival game with automation mechanics. Explore, engage in combat, and automate your industry. The planet you’re on is full of mysteries, creatures, people, and things to do. Welcome to your new home amongst the stars!

Your task is to extract resources needed for the Earth using your trusty extraction tool. Once you start gathering resources, you can construct factories that will provide you with new materials. The more possibilities you unlock, the more efficient your base will become.

But you’re not just a Survivor in Nova Lands; you’re also an Explorer. To help you with simple tasks while you explore other islands, we’ve designed a team of self-sufficient bots that can work autonomously. These bots can form production chains, defend you and other bots from aggressive creatures, and turn your base into a fortress.

Venture to new islands, each with its own biomes, creatures, materials, landmarks, and secrets. Be cautious, as every cave, bush, and grain of sand may hold something interesting and mysterious. Along the way, you’ll encounter other NPCs who can offer upgrades or helpful items for trade.

Once you start your planetary industry, you’ll be able to sell extracted resources to other planets and earn kredits (currency name, there is no mistake!). These kredits can be used to purchase new upgrades and content, so get ready to explore and trade.

Now it’s time to take the journey to the next level by producing a shuttle that will allow you to travel to the Space Station – a dedicated hub where you can meet new NPCs, purchase new skins for the character, buy blueprints to develop new technologies on your planet, and even purchase your own house.

Create Your Own Legend in Apogee’s Action-Adventure Dungeon Maker “Quest Master”

Demo coming soon to Steam, Early Access in Q3 2023

LAS VEGAS — June 7, 2023 — Quest Master, the dungeon-designing sandbox adventure from publisher Apogee Entertainment and developer Skydevilpalm, will deliver a robust toolset to build retro top-down dungeons on PC via Steam Early Access in Q3 2023, before arriving on Nintendo Switch alongside the 1.0 release, as revealed in the Guerrilla Collective showcase. Construct custom adventures in the upcoming demo coming soon to Steam for PC.

Craft a legendary journey from scratch with an intuitive level creator to make simple dungeons and overworld-connected quests in this faithful pixel art love letter to top-down action JRPG classics of yesteryear. Drag-and-drop dozens of themed design tiles onto a blank canvas to create lava-filled caverns, mountainous overworlds, grassy forests, desert dunes, and more. Provide instructions for the quest ahead or design an epic narrative full of placeable NPCs and customizable signs with a plethora of dialogue options.

When the masterpiece is complete, fearlessly charge into the world, ready to face belligerent bats, surly snakes, and nefarious skeletons. Keep enemies at a safe distance with a bow or bring them in for combat close with a precisely aimed hookshot. Master weapons and powerful magic, navigate user-created labyrinths, unlock doors and solve puzzles while defending against the dangers that lurk within. Guide progression with bodies of water and boulders that can only be traversed with a hammer or flippers.

The journey is as easy or as difficult as the creator wishes. Invent patience-testing experiences or entire quests with multiple biomes, bosses, and side missions. Place enemy spawn points in strategic locations to create challenging dungeons (that can lock upon entry!) before concocting the perfect puzzle with the ideal amount of flaming traps, levers, timed switches, and invisible chests.

Venture through bespoke labyrinths solo, or dungeon-crawl cooperatively with up to 3-player multiplayer sessions. Share created quests with others and try out worlds made by fellow designers online. Recreate classic levels from famous top-down action games of old, and craft adventures reminiscent of the 16-bit classics. 

Quest Master hands over the controls to the players to make whatever they want,” said Julian Creutz, Lead Developer of Quest Master. “The possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to see all kinds of wacky dungeons and full-blown adventures players are able to come up with.”

SEVEN KNIGHTS 2 SHINES BRIGHT WITH NEW LEGENDARY+ HERO, CHILD OF LIGHT PHINE

LOS ANGELES – June 7, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, announces a new update for the mobile RPG Seven Knights 2. New content and experiences are now available for all players to enjoy, including a new Legendary+ Hero, costumes, and several limited-time events.

Child of Light Phiné, a newly added Legendary+ Hero, joins the fight in the latest Seven Knights 2 update. She is a ranged support type, perfect for helping her friends on the battlefield.

Phiné’s ultimate skill deals damage equal to a certain percentage of Attack that is distributed among all enemies within 6 meters around the target. It also recovers the HP of all allies by a certain percentage of the caster’s Max HP, making her a powerhouse healer, and perfect for keeping her allies up and running.

As part of this update, the Child of Destiny Phiné outfit will also be added for an alternate look. This sundress means she’ll be ready to keep your team healthy with superior healing skills.

Several new events are now available from June 7 through June 21, including:

  • Child of Light Phiné Release Celebration Check-In Event!: Players who log in to Seven Knights 2 for seven consecutive days will be rewarded with 3000 Rubies and 5000 Maps.
  • Phiné’s Hopeful Dessert Shop! Event: Using Phiné’s Cake rewarded in various quest rewards, players can craft various rewards, including Ultimate Legendary+ Equipment Set Selection Tickets, Forgotten Memory Pieces and more.

  • Collect Phiné’s Delicious Sweet Cakes! Special Mission Event: Completing Field Exploration and earning final rewards from daily missions will have a chance to get Phiné’s Sweet Cakes in addition to normal rewards.

The official sequel to Seven Knights, a game enjoyed by 60 million players globally, Seven Knights 2 takes place 20 years after the original and introduces beautiful open world gameplay. The story centers on the Daybreak Mercenaries who embark on a journey to find the last member of the Seven Knights, “Rudy,” after a series of events involving a mysterious girl named Phiné. Stunning cinematics and graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4 will immerse players in this epic game story filled with unique characters and powerful bosses. Players can collect and develop their heroes and experience a new combat system with powerful ultimates and suppressors.

Watch the announcement trailer and head over to Steam to play the Super Alpha Demo, only available for a week

London, U.K. – 7th June 2023 – Developer Knights of Borria and publisher Marvelous Europe today revealed Leximan, a wholesome narrative-adventure in a surprising modern-fantasy world, driven by bizarre characters, mystical word puzzles and hilarious minigames.

In Leximan, you’re lucky enough to be enrolled in the world’s most exclusive magic school: Academy Elementinia. Unfortunately, this is a world in which magic is a bit embarrassing… Still, you alone have the ability to use Leximancy, a hitherto unimaginable power driven by something as fascinating as it is enchanting: language. Years ago you caused THINGS to happen, and ever since then you’ve been banished to the school basement with the other failures — I mean ‘learners’ – but your life as a humble basement-wizard is abruptly interrupted as Academy Elementinia is attacked by someone with a baffling agenda and a huge set of fireballs. Now it’s time to become the outcast that saves the school. Or if you don’t vibe with heroics, at least cause some more THINGS to happen.

Feast your eyes on this marvelous announcement trailer:

Don your trusty hat, ready your lexicon and head over to Steam to figure out words, puzzles, and a bunch of minigames in the Super Alpha Demo of Leximan, available now for a limited time!

Embark on a brilliant adventure, using words and incompetence to solve bizarre problems and unravel a surprisingly wholesome story about embracing and empowering the real you while you bother a chaotic cast of characters, from potion witches and sweaty musclemancers, to a bombastic policewoman and a pyromancer who’s just fed up, to be honest. There are also hat goblins – give hats to the hat goblins, please and thank you.
