Mighty Goose Is Loose Today on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox Consoles

Featuring A New Star Goose And A Very Real Gun

TOKYO – 5 June, 2021 – Mighty Goose, the over the top, run-and-gun, titled goose game, developed by Blastmode and MP2 Games and published by PLAYISM, begins its utter destruction of PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility today.

Waddle, run, and gun through nine destructive levels clearing out high fidelity pixel art enemy bases so intergalactic nature can finally heal. Customize an honorable goose with a gaggle of gun arm upgrades and alternate ammo options to reunite the Mighty Goose squad. Rescue animal companions like Regular Duck to aid in combat with different and strategy-changing abilities like the Sprint Boots and Chonker Bombs.

The leader of team Mighty Goose is Mighty Goose, but his friends refer to him as Goose. As a professional avian space stalker, rivals are always bound to rear their ugly beaks, like fellow fowl Raven. The villainous Void King sends Raven and his army to imprison Goose’s animal friends in Void bases and take out the belligerently blaring bounty hunter for good.

Nothing can stop the chaotic and fun tones of Mighty Goose paying homage to and poking fun at beloved run-and-gunners of old. Expressive pixel art by Richard Lems (KUNAI) and a fist wing-pumping, high-energy soundtrack by Dominic Ninmark (Blazing Chrome) set a standard of quality for goose games everywhere that goose fans will remember for the ages.

“Honk honk honk, quack honk honk,” said Mighty Goose, star of Mighty Goose. “Quack honk hoooooonk quack honk quack quack quack honk honk quack!” We couldn’t have said it any better Mr. Goose, your berries and caviar are in your trailer as requested. 

For those inspired by Mighty Goose, an official fan art contest will be held from release up until 6 p.m. PDT 28 June, with one grand prize winner receiving a Nintendo Switch. Post your submission on Twitter using the #mightygoosefanart hashtag and see the full rules here. On top of that, a speed run contest will also be held simultaneously, please take a gander at the contest information for how to enter and more information.

Mighty Goose is out now on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility for $19.99/€17.99, and will honk in Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Korean, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Polish.

Paris – June 7^th 2021 – Microids is proud to announce the June 2021 opening of a new development studio in Lyon (France), named Microids Studio Lyon. With more than 500 collaborators worldwide, Microids is consolidating its teams and activities thanks to this new studio focusing on new adventure games.

The games industry veteran David Chomard, who worked for several publishers before managing his own studio for ten years, will lead the Microids Studio Lyon as Studio Director. To staff its teams, Microids Studio Lyon is recruiting two dozen professionals (artists, designers and programmers) with Unity engine experience on consoles. 

This new studio is part of the development strategy initiated last year. Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids adds: “Since Microids had a 64% turnover increase between 2019 and 2020, it appeared logical for us to create a new studio while strengthening the existing projects and investments with the long time partner studios. We are delighted to entrust David Chomard, former Atari (former Infogrames Entertainment) employee, with the reins of this new studio. His experience and expertise will be crucial.” 

Microids Studio Lyon completes the company’s pipeline allowing fully integrated internal project development. Microids will keep working with multiple studios already hard at work on more than 25 titles. 

“I am delighted to once again work with Microids and leading this new studio. The production of a video game is a true adventure and I can’t wait to share more about the upcoming games developed by Microids Studio Lyon” declares David Chomard, Director of Microids Studio Lyon.

WISHLIST ON STEAM HERE

Gothenburg, Sweden – June 7th, 2021 – Thunderful Publishing & Carry Castle have revealed all new gameplay for their upcoming Lovecraftian side-scrolling action roguelite Source of Madness, ahead of its release later this year on PC (Steam®). Having premiered at this year’s Guerrilla Collective showcase, this latest trailer teases but a handful of the procedurally generated horrors you’ll encounter in this creepy cosmic adventure!

Watch the all new trailer from the Guerilla Collective showcase

Source of Madness is a side-scrolling dark action roguelite set in a twisted Lovecraftian inspired world powered by procedural generation and AI machine learning. Take on the role of a new Acolyte as they embark on a nightmarish odyssey. Uncover the cosmic secrets of the Loam Lands and The Tower of Madness, the moon’s mysterious Citadel.

Fight hordes of nightmarish beasts utilising powerful close-combat magic, explore labyrinthine environments, collect powerful loot and manage your item loadout, then infuse the beasts’ blood at magical altars to unlock additional abilities, perks and spells. Decide your Acolyte’s fate in the customisable skill tree.

As your journey progresses, the arcane lore of the Loam Lands unfurls and plunges you deeper into its dark depths. The world and monsters are rendered using a combination of hand-drawn assets, AI visual manipulation and procedural generation. The monsters inhabiting this dark world are animated using a machine learning AI. This means Source of Madness offers ever-changing landscapes to explore and new monstrosities to face on every run.

“We’re really thrilled to partner with Guerilla Collective to show off more of the game as we get closer to launch later this year,” said Carry Castle CEO Per Fronander. “We not only wanted to showcase our unique AI-driven art style, with its gothic and Lovecraftian overtones; but we also used this opportunity to tease a little more of the arcane lore that Source of Madness will contain for those willing to explore it deeper…”

“Source of Madness combines so much of what we love about cosmic horror and video games into one unholy cocktail of roguelike adventuring,” said Thunderful Head of Publishing, Dieter Shoeller. “Its procedurally generated creatures and labyrinths make it utterly unpredictable and eerie, as you encounter machine learning concoctions that feel truly one of a kind.”

Dev Diary #1 shows off the main hub, new interfaces and Game Maker features!

HONG KONG — 7th June 2021 — The Sandbox, the virtual world built onto the blockchain, has revealed new information about the game’s highly-anticipated Public Alpha: The Explorers. In this developer diary, The Sandbox has shared a first look at the game’s main hub; the starting point for your adventure in the Multiverse. A new Marketplace interface allows players to buy NFT wearables for their avatar and see all of the most important information at a glance, including the creator’s other designs. With the new Marketplace, you can now buy new LANDs directly, your own customisable piece of virtual real-estate that can be anything from an art gallery to a challenging combat arena.

The Sandbox has updated their Game Maker to include new combat mechanics such as a Parry and a Charged Attack with new UI to help you fend off enemies. Not to mention the quality of life updates with new camera controls and an auto-climb for a smoother user experience.

“As we are preparing to release the Alpha, we wanted to share some of the work done by our talented developers. Our goal with The Sandbox has always been to empower players to create personalised experiences while using the unique advantages of NFTs to distribute high-quality designs while supporting creators,” said Marcus Bläsche, Marketing Director at The Sandbox. “We hope that our Game Maker can inspire you to make your own games and art pieces, with potential for Play2Earn by sharing your creations on the Marketplace.

“As the core of our community, LAND owners are the first stakeholders who have been contributing to our Ecosystem, constantly showing support and believed in our vision of an decentralized gaming virtual world from day one,” said Sebastien Borget, COO & Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “We felt it was essential that they be the first ones to experience what our 100+ people team has been busy building and experiment with our Play-to-Earn system. But the public Alpha isn’t just for our early adopters, and we have a lot to offer all players to also benefit from their play time, so join us in the metaverse!”

In The Explorers alpha event, all players will be able to download the game client and access the Main Hub, where they can visit the NFT museum, learn about the factions of The Sandbox and socialize with other players. The Alpha will be packed with more than 50 exclusive studio-approved experiences, offering hours of challenge and fun. Crafted social hubs will also be released where players can meet up with friends, meet new people and explore the lore of the Multiverse’s different factions.

The Sandbox is a unique virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using NFTs. These NFTs come in the form of SAND, ASSETs, and LAND. SAND is the currency used within The Sandbox which can be used to purchase ASSETs. ASSETs, are tokens serving as creation elements in The Sandbox Game Maker and are used on LAND, the digital real estate in this metaverse. These components of The Sandbox work in concert to allow players create digital assets in the form of NFTs, upload them to the marketplace, and integrate them into games using the #nocode Game Maker.

A phenomenal fox in an adventure inspired by the golden age of 3D platforming! Demo available now on Steam

5 June, 2021 – Publisher Big Sugar and developer Glowfish Interactive are delighted to announce Trifox for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is scheduled to launch Q1 2022.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211240

An action-adventure with a variety of ways to play, Trifox‘s titular hero is a fox on a mission… to retrieve his stolen TV remote! A multi-talented mammal, Trifox can use the skills of a trio of different character types – Warrior, Mage, and Engineer. Each has its own unique set of class-based abilities and these can be mixed-and-matched, allowing players to create a wily protagonist with a tailor-made moveset.

The debut title from Belgium-based developer, Glowfish Interactive, Trifox has already been attracting attention. It was nominated as ‘Most Anticipated Game’ at the Belgian Game Awards, received honorable mentions at the Unfold Games Awards for ‘Best Level Design’ and ‘Best Character Design’, and was awarded a ‘Seal of Approval’ after being selected to participate in Yogscast’s Tiny Teams event.

Watch the announcement trailer for Trifox: 

Full-time development on Trifox started in 2019, although as Glowfish co-founder and developer Emiel De Paepe explains, the project has always been part of the studio’s plans:

“We had the first idea that led to Trifox in 2014, after we started the company and were figuring out what we wanted to do. The game back then was much more combat centric, with less focus on the adventure itself,” says De Paepe.

“Over time it grew as we added elements inspired by a bunch of games we loved while growing up, such as Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter. Our aim is to bring the same joy to Trifox that people experienced when playing those kinds of games when they were younger.”

About the game

Trifox is a colourful and cartoonish action-adventure featuring a phenomenal fox with a multitude of talents! After his home is attacked and his TV remote stolen, Trifox sets out in pursuit of the mysterious looters in an action-packed adventure inspired by the golden age of 3D platformers. Use magic, might, and marvelous gadgets to outfox foes across four danger-filled worlds as you fight your way to a final showdown at Villain HQ!  

Key features

• Three different classes: Wield a giant hammer as a Warrior! Master magic and mystery as a Mage! Use a backpack full of gadgets as an Engineer! 
• Mix-and-match styles: Customise your Trifox by combining different class-based abilities! Want to cast spells and fire a Gatling Gun? No problem!
• 30 abilities to unlock: Collect and spend coins to gain new skills, such as Spike Slam, Shield Bubble, Guided Missile, and many more!
• Four worlds to beat: Fight hordes of enemies, traverse platforming pitfalls, overcome environmental puzzles, and battle big angry bosses!
