CRAFT MEDIEVAL WINE AND RENDER RUSTIC HOSPITALITY IN LATEST NOBLE FATES UPDATE 

CRAFT MEDIEVAL WINE AND RENDER RUSTIC HOSPITALITY IN LATEST NOBLE FATES UPDATE 

Your Kingdom Has Visitors! Welcome New Guests – Offer Hospitality and Build Your Reputation. Run an Inn, Build a Tavern, Make Wine and More During Extended Sale

SEATTLE, WA – February 7, 2022 – After a successful Early Access launch, veteran developer Xobermon LLC released its first major Noble Fates update today, giving players the chance to make wine, build taverns, and manage inns — generating revenue from the people who visit their kingdom. Additionally, since Noble Fates’ launch in December 2021, the 3D fantasy kingdom-management sim’s Community has been incredibly busy, building a stunningly diverse array of houses, forts, castles, and more. See screenshots in the link below!

Best of all, Noble Fates is available now in an extended sale on Steam Early Access for $19.99, a 20% discount off the full retail price ($24.99). There is no time to make wine like the present!

New Hospitality Features:

  • Manage an Inn: Become the epitome of hospitality by offering beds, rooms, or entire buildings for rent. Meet customer expectations and satisfy the needs of delegates to build inter-Kingdom relations or shortcut the recruiting process to grow your mighty kingdom.
  • Five-Star Accommodations: Address a lodging need that scales with Nobles’ Prestige. That straw bed might be enough for an unskilled recruit, but your most prestigious Nobles will need a nicely appointed home of their own to be satisfied.
  • Build a Tavern: Design an inviting home-away-from-home with comforting fireplaces, then sell food and drinks to generate additional income. Tap into new decoration items such as a modular table to build a gathering place the kingdom can be proud of.
  • Grow Grapes, Craft Wine: Cultivate and harvest grapes, craft and sell wine. Use the Winery to transform them into a quick fix for comfort. Careful though, your constituents might imbibe too much and pass out drunk!
  • Food and Drink Management: Master the new Food and Drink Management tool to reserve the fine meals for your nobles and leave the scraps for the serfs.

Inspired by the depth and fun of Rimworld and the brutal clash of ambition, intrigue, and violence from Game of Thrones, Noble Fates charges players with building a kingdom worthy of lasting recognition. Build, craft, farm, mine, hunt, defend – even command from the sky, or take control in third person. Your story goes where the people, your actions, and their reactions take it.

Psychological Platformer The Perfect Pencilcoming to PC and Nintendo Switch

Explore a bizarre hand-drawn world troubled with fear and emotional distress

Milano, Italy – February 7th, 2022 – Studio Cima is excited to announce that its upcoming narrative adventure game, The Perfect Pencil, is in development for PC and Nintendo Switch. 

With combat and platforming elements taking inspiration from action-adventure games such as Hollow Knight and psychological depth of the characters, typical of games like Celeste and Limbo, this combination is beautifully wrapped in a hand drawn art style. The Perfect Pencil aims to challenge players to comprehend and face uncomfortable situations that stem from their fears and anxieties – a topic very much in the zeitgeist of today – as part of a wholly engaging experience.

As you walk through mind-bending landscapes, the significance of the locales will start to become clear. The world is full of meaning, the characters are metaphors and personifications, and not everything is as chaotic as it looks. This land mirrors emotions, represents psychological reactions to fear and reflects human moods. The journey of the main character is also a reflection of his personal growth and throughout his journey players will face decisions that challenge their perception of the human psyche. 

Engaging and unusual interactions, challenging choices, surprising exploration and fast paced combat will keep the gameplay interesting throughout whilst the narrative reveals itself. This game has its own language full of humour and allegories which it uses alongside immersive gameplay, to speak intimately to the player.

“I’m so proud and excited to finally announce The Perfect Pencil, a project made with love, attention and commitment,” says studio director Stefano Rauzi. “It was born from the idea of telling a personal story of psychological struggle, through interaction with peculiar and multifaceted characters. The video game medium gives the opportunity to create an immersive experience that I hope will allow the players to confront and discover something about themselves while building their own personal path. The Perfect Pencil is our attempt at creating a unified narrative experience that encapsulates a vulnerable, beautiful element of the human condition.”
