Ranch Simulator – Build Anywhere Update Out Today

Banbury, Oxfordshire – 15th July 2021

Today marks the release of Ranch Simulator’s biggest content update yet. The update completely revamps the building system so that players can now build facilities freely including foundations, walls, doors, stairs, roofs, coops, fences, feeders and more.

We’ve introduced a new map which is more optimised, delivering a smoother experience for some players along with some visual upgrades. Additionally, female pigs have been added – meaning that players can now breed piglets.

A hardware store has been introduced too. This is the place to visit in order to purchase your tools and building materials, such as wood planks, concrete, metal rebars, lawnmowers, trailers, paint and much more.

To celebrate the updated release, we’re also offering a 20% discount on Steam.

Ranch Simulator launched in Early Access on PC in March and, as of time of writing, sits at a 86% positive recent review score. The game’s RRP is $24.99/£19.99/€20.99.

Builder. Farmer. Hunter. Trader. Ranching certainly isn’t your average job. Think you have the skills to turn your family’s rundown homestead into the most prosperous ranch in the valley? Then it’s time to head out into the wilderness in this captivating single and multiplayer open-world simulator.

Take a look at the multiplayer gameplay trailer. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese Brazilian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Polish and Korean.

About Ranch Simulator

It was once your grandfather’s pride-and-joy, but your family ranch has fallen on hard times and it’s up to you to turn things around. Sitting in a forested valley far from civilisation, the dilapidated homestead will test all your abilities as you attempt to turn it into the most prosperous ranch in the region – either alone or in up to four player co-op multiplayer.

Rebuild Your Ranch

The years have not been kind to your family ranch and it will take time and money to restore it to its former glory. Buy tools from the local hardware store and purchase a range of vehicles from the garage to help with your rebuilding projects. Renovate the main house, decide what livestock you want to farm and construct the barns, pens and runs you’ll need to keep them safe and secure.

Look After Your Livestock

Grand building projects are one thing. Paying for them? That’ll come down to your ranching skills. Overseeing a profitable operation is all about the day-to-day. Once you’ve selected and taken on your livestock, regular feeding and watering will keep them healthy. Successful breeding and careful rearing of the young will help boost the numbers in your herds and flocks — and the more produce you have to sell, the more income you’ll receive for all that hard work.

Head Out on the Hunt

There’s a large open-world environment outside your cosy homestead and it’s teeming with wildlife. So when you feel like slowing the pace, why not grab your trusty rifle and head out into the forest to stalk deer and hunt bears? But remember, the wilderness lives by its own laws and you aren’t the only skilled hunter in the neighbourhood. Sometimes your steady hand and sharp eyes will also be needed back on the ranch to stop hungry wolves turning your off-grid dream into a nightmare.

ConnecTank – Mesmeric Action puzzler Experience

A Masterful MadCap  Experience!

Stuttgart, 15, July, 2021: ININ proudly presents a really unique game that calls for players who are not afraid of any challenge that combines action, with exciting tank battles, together with puzzle solving. ININ, the publisher through the SLG Partner Store, is excited to be releasing ConnecTank on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch with a Physical Boxed Limited and Special Limited Editions.

With its unique presentation, colourful and enchanting art style, the game’s premise is intuitive, challenging and inventive. Skill and teamwork is needed to fight rival tanks where 1 – 4 players can be a part of this 2D action adventure game.

Crazy and Fun 

Set in what can best be described as a factory, which is not the kind of setting you would come to expect, players view the action from a slightly off centre top down view. It’s bold, it’s colourful and help is always on hand!

Build new tanks and take on jobs in an ever-changing world. Link conveyor belts together, craft ammo, and put out fires as you battle rival tanks to help Finneas Fat Cat deliver packages. Make deliveries for one of three barons that are seeking to become the top tycoon of New Pangea. Will you line Finneas Fat Cat’s pockets with more coins, amass an art collection with Lord Louis Longneck or help Emperor Pontius Penguin transport packages for the glory of the tundra.

Build up big honking tanks with rad designs to fight enemies and watch your skill and visions grow. Improve your existing tanks and get new tanks, not forgetting that each giant tank comes with its own skills, strengths and weaknesses. There are over a hundred missions, dozens of tanks to battle and each baron has his own drivers. Ironically as a driver yourself, whilst delivering your packages in a giant tank, you need to fight the rival shipping companies!

ConnecTank’s intuitive design ensures fluid gameplay and a collection of NPCs help progression and build momentum. Being a driver, in the bustling business world and defeating other tanks, means being skillful and precise with your weapons – exacting what, where and when to fire your cannons – is all part of the tanks you control. It really is dog eat dog with the opposing baron drivers. 

A great variety of parameters are on offer to hone your skill and actions to progress. There is also a variety of vendors you can interact with and depending on which barron you are working with could affect the outcome.

Served Up Perfect

Menus, stats, numbers, grids, maps, numbers – all you would come to expect from a game of this description come complete with colour coding, etc. to make decisions easy. That said, the challenge is both compelling and fun!

About Lost At Sea

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” – John Lennon

Lost At Sea tells the story of Anna, who, in the later stages of her life, has come to be alone. To live her new future, she will first have to take stock of her past. Construct her memories by finding objects and solving puzzles on a strange island, and face the question we all face eventually: “Did I do it right?”

In Lost At Sea players experience poignant moments in Anna’s life, moments that we can all relate to, moments that make us all wonder how life can suddenly take a hold of us, instead of the other way around.

Set on a mysterious island, where every biome represents a phase of life, you will explore your surroundings and solve riddles to reclaim memories. All the while your fears are chasing you, trying to trap you in your misery and prevent you from moving on. In the end, this is a game about the things you want to remember, the things you wish for and about life as a whole.
