Developer Poised To Cancel Golf Club: Wasteland for Public Sale | Lists One-off  “My Ticket Outta Here” Edition for $500 Million Instead

Demagog Studio founder intends to sell the game to one “stinking rich” individual to fund his own escape from Earth

19 July 2021, Warsaw Poland + Belgrade, Serbia | Indie game publisher Untold Tales is sad to announce that Golf Club: Wasteland, the apocalypse themed golf game set around the story of the ultra-rich fleeing to Mars, will potentially no longer be available to the general public.

• Game website: https://golfclubwasteland.com/

With just a month before release and on the eve of yet another tech billionaire friting himself into space, Demagog Studio creative director Igor Simic has had a “wake up call”. He wants to pull the sale of his game from the public and instead sell it to one extravagantly rich individual. The sale is intended to help Simic secure his own ticket off Earth before the “inevitable climate, financial and political apocalypse comes for the rest of us plebs.”

Golf Club: Wasteland started off as pure satire. The ultra-rich playing golf on the remains of civilization after initially fleeing to Mars as Earth crumbled thanks to consumerism, climate disaster and Silicon Valley-fuelled greed. Well, now I’m not laughing anymore. These rocket obsessed billionaires like Musk, Bezos and Branson are already packing their designer bags, so it’s time I sorted out my own ticket off this doomed planet. –  Igor Simic, Demagog Studio Founder

The one-off edition of Golf Club: Wasteland, titled My Ticket Outta Here Edition by Simic, will be priced at around $ 500 million* and will be made exclusively available to one buyer.

“Since tickets for a recent 12 or so minute private space flight went for $28 million a pop, I’m hoping $500 million should be enough to at least get me a cheap seat next to the toilets for the final Mars flight. I’ve been told the price also needs to be adequate enough so that the potential buyer can reassuringly brag about it to their friends and Forbes Magazine.”

“To further secure the game’s value and exclusivity, I’ve decided to put this one-off version of the game entirely on floppy disks. This method will also allow me to use a custom formatting and copying process that so inefficiently uses computing power, it takes around 7 months to copy data onto one disk. This will help maximise the amount of environmental damage my video game can do, since I heard that’s also really important.“

As the publisher of the game, Untold Tales is still contractually obligated to deliver this version of the game to the market. “With floppy disks having a capacity of around 1.44mb each, the buyer of Golf Club: Wasteland should expect to get a canvas nylon duffel bag with around 750 plastic disks. I’ll see if we can put in a free t-shirt too. – Greg Pauper, Marketing Intern, Untold Tales. 

The publisher also stated that all other currently existing versions of the game will be deleted, buried in a New Mexico landfill, or reprogrammed to run on Linux, thus ensuring nobody else will ever play it.

When asked how the rest of the Demagog team felt about their collective work being used to benefit only one person, someone from HR (who assured us they were not Igor) robotically responded with: “At Demagog, we are a family and feel we are in this all together, no matter what. The reward is the work itself and knowing we achieved something great, as a family. Also please don’t try to unionize.”

For any parties interested in purchasing this edition, please contact Untold Tales via their website with the subject line “I have more money than sense”

*Free shipping not included.

Publisher donating $5,000 to Save the Children, Colombia

Walnut Creek, Calif. (July 19, 2021) – Modus Games today announced that their Games Giving Back initiative, which sees the label celebrating new game releases with charitable donations, will continue with Cris Tales. The game’s July 20 release will align with a $5,000 donation to Save the Children, Colombia.
 
Save the Children, Colombia helps to protect the children of Colombia from violence, malnutrition, and displacement. According to the charity, “…Colombia has the largest number of displaced people in the world, an alarming 7.3 million. The number of families and children in Colombia in need has only grown since August 2017 when violence and a severe lack of food and medicine forced millions of neighboring Venezuelan families to cross the border into Colombia.” Learn more about Save the Children, Colombia here: https://www.savethechildren.org/us/where-we-work/colombia
 
Cris Tales is developed by the Colombian studio Dreams Uncorporated and is based heavily in Colombian heritage and iconography. The game’s release, which coincides with Colombian Independence Day, will be aligned with the donation to Save the Children, Colombia – a charity that Modus Games CEO Christina Seelye is incredibly passionate about.
 
“Save the Children, Colombia is an incredible organization that does amazing work,” Seelye said. “With so many children in Colombia being displaced or living under the threat of armed violence every day, any donation that we can make to help is something that we consider extremely important. We couldn’t be prouder to have Save the Children, Colombia as a partner in this endeavor.”
  
Cris Tales launches tomorrow on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia. To learn more about the game, visit www.cristalesgame.com, join Modus’ Discord channel (modus.games/discord), and follow Modus on Twitter (@Modus_Games).

Award-Winning Graphic Novel Publisher to Launch Multiple Tabletop RPGs Based on Original IPs and Classic Properties

ST. LOUIS, MO (JULY 19, 2021) — Acclaimed publisher of graphic novels and art books, Magnetic Press, (a Polarity-owned company) today announced the formation of “Magnetic Press Play,” a new imprint focused on tabletop games and transmedia properties. The first project to launch under the company’s banner will be Carbon Grey, an original Tabletop Role-Playing Game based on the popular graphic novel series by Hoang Nguyen and originally published by Image Comics. Other projects in the works include games and supplements based on popular licenses such as Chaosium’s Call Of Cthulhu and several beloved anime series. More details on these, and additional projects, will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Tabletop gaming is all about creating new stories through gameplay, and it’s the kind of experience I’ve wanted to return to since leaving a 20-year career in video games,” said Mike Kennedy, Founder and Publisher of Magnetic Press Play. “We’ve put an incredible amount of time and effort into creating a tabletop company and putting together our product lineup, and it’s exciting to finally pull back the curtain on them!”

Magnetic’s first project under the new imprint is also the first to capitalize on their licensing partnership with the well-known game publishing house, West End Games, best known for their D6 System role-playing ruleset. This ruleset served as the core for several top-selling (and beloved to this day) licensed tabletop RPGs, including the original Star Wars and Ghostbusters RPGs, and will serve as the foundation of Carbon Grey’s gameplay mechanics.

“We’re very excited to work with Magnetic Press Play on their lineup of D6 System-based titles,” said Steve Wieck for West End Games and Nocturnal Media. “We’re honored that they chose West End Game’s time-tested system as the core of Carbon Grey and their other planned titles and can’t wait to see the results when it hits tables.”
 
Magnetic Press Play’s first title, Carbon Grey, sets players in a unique alternate history reminiscent of World War I-era Europe, but with fantastic dieselpunk technologies and elements of the paranormal. In the game, players will explore a war-torn universe filled with mystery, prophecy, and intrigue. The sourcebook is being written and overseen by game designer and graphic novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, an ENnie and UKGE award winner for his work on the recent Alien RPG from Free League and the lead writer of the Terminator RPG from Nightfall Games.
 
Other titles coming from Magnetic Press Play include a series of expansions for Chaosium’s popular RPG Call of Cthulhu that will make use of Magnetic Press’s background in the graphic novel marketplace, as well as games based on various anime and manga licenses.
 
More info about Magnetic Press Play is available on Facebook, Twitter, and the official website.
