Created as a simple-but-challenging table tennis simulation, the influential PONG arcade game debuted on November 29, 1972. It was the first commercially successful video game and an immediate smash hit that effectively established the video game industry. PONG was originally meant to be a simple training exercise, assigned to newly hired engineer Allan Alcorn by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell to acclimate him to creating games. Alcorn went above and beyond, adding appealing features such as segmented paddles that changed the angle of the “ball” and accelerating speeds as play went on. Alcorn also elected to retain a “glitch” that didn’t allow the paddles to reach the top of the screen, which added to the game’s difficulty. Lastly, Bushnell had Alcorn add cheering crowd noises and other sound effects. The game was so well-received that Bushnell and the team were able to rapidly grow Atari and an entire industry was born.

LET’S FIND OUT IF YOU’RE CHICKEN ENOUGH! CHICKEN POLICE IS AVAILABLE STARTING NOVEMBER 5TH!
Eger, Hungary/Giebelstadt, Germany, October 20th, 2020: Sonny Featherland and Marty MacChicken, aka the “Chicken Police”, once a legendary detective-duo – now a washed-up wreck and a wannabe star-detective. But things are about to change when a mysterious case comes along, getting weirder by the hour and more dangerous than anything the two have faced before.
Chicken Police is developed by The Wild Gentlemen in Hungary. The game is published by HandyGames in Giebelstadt, Germany, and will be available for 19,99 ( EUR / USD / GBP ) starting November 5th on Steam, Xbox One and Playstation 4. Coming soon to Nintendo Switch.
STEAM | PLAYSTATION 4 | XBOX ONE | NINTENDO SWITCH
“Maybe the most important thing is that the mood and the atmosphere must be coherent. In creating narrative games, you must pay attention to a lot of things that the player maybe won’t even notice (or will be affected only subconsciously), but all in all, I believe everything stands on the characters, whom we’ll learn to love or hate to be breathing with them within the world they live in.
It all depends on whether you, the player, want to know, is the character have a life outside of the game? If the answer is yes, you, as a writer, did your job well.” said Bánk, Director of Chicken Police
Chicken Police is a story- and dialogue-heavy game combining elements of the visual novel and classic adventure genres. There will be more than 30 characters to talk to, with some requiring you to apply fierce interrogation tactics. Collect tons of clues, evidence and sensitive personal information from the shady characters of Clawville to be used ruthlessly against them!

Phase Two Games Action RPG Gets Busy Preparing for Battle
Melbourne, Australia – October 20th 2020 – Independent developer Phase Two Games today announced that their squad-based fantasy adventure RPG Battle Hunters is now moving to a slightly later launch date. The new tentative street date for PC and Nintendo Switch is November 5th.
“The old adage that time waits for no man is certainly true in our case, we wanted to synchronize the final submission phase and release efforts and felt we needed a little more time to coordinate that,” said Toby Charlton, Co-Founder of Phase Two Games.
https://youtu.be/9s8nI0U4YD8
With a more strategic approach to combat through a combination of turn-based and real-time action, Battle Hunters gives players the opportunity to build a uniquely skilled team of 3 adventurers ready for action. With a roster of 28 unique hero characters to discover and choose from, including the Wizard, the Barbarian, the Rogue or the cursed Dreadknight – Battle Hunters provides a huge variety of choice when deciding who to bring to the fight.
From their early years at Beam Software on PC games like ‘Krush, Kill and Destroy’ to bringing the first ‘Sims’ game to iPhone for EA, and later going on to bring ambitious brands like ‘Need for Speed’ and ‘DeadSpace’ to the smartphone and tablet, Dan and Toby have a long and respectable history of both making games and dealing with top IPs. At Phase Two Games we are determined to produce quality experiences with a small, talented team. We have deliberately stepped away from large-scale corporate-style production to pursue a more traditional style of development in the hope that our games can be free of influences that undermine the creative vision. We love games, and hope you enjoy playing the games we make.

As the youngest heir of an ancient bloodline of Monster Keepers, players set out to follow in their ancestors’ footsteps, all the while unpicking a mystery that threatens the long-standing peace between humans and monsters.
Begin your journey as the next great Monster Keeper with this new trailer:
During its year in Early Access, Monster Sanctuary has expanded with a series of significant updates that broaden its fantastical world, such as the introduction of player vs player gameplay, and new areas to explore: the volcanic Magma Chamber, the claustrophobic Underworld, and the mechanical Mystical Workshop. Each has expanded on the menagerie of monsters available for players to track down and tame, and added new gameplay opportunities to explore.
The full launch of Monster Sanctuary in December will introduce further content for players to experience as they embark on their epic adventure, including the Abandoned Tower as an entirely new game area, as well as an additional secret area. 14 new monsters will also be joining the roster, alongside optional endgame Champions; Ultimate abilities for monsters above level 40; unique equipment; and further balancing changes.

Denis Sinner, Managing Director, Moi Rai Games, said:
“The full release of the game will bring an exciting five-year journey to an end. Monster Sanctuary originally started out as a hobby project of mine while having a normal day job, and back then I couldn’t imagine that it would be released as a full-fledged game on multiple platforms with a publisher on my side. Ever since we launched the game into Early Access last year, the community feedback we’ve received has helped to improve the game and make it the best possible experience.”

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — October 20, 2020 —Halloween is coming to the Hyper Scape™, taking over Neo Arcadia from tomorrow, October 21, until November 4 across all platforms. The Hyper Scape™ Halloween Event is the first major seasonal celebration coming to the game: it includes exclusive new cosmetics, a full Halloween night dress-up for Neo Arcadia and two limited-time game modes starting with Crown Rush Solo and continuing later with Dark Haze Squad. The Crown Rush Squad game mode will be also playable during the entirety of the event.
Players will be able to try out Crown Rush Solo in a brand new, exclusive environment since the full map will be in night mode. Additionally, Crown Rush Solo is receiving a major twist with the introduction of the Second Chance – a new game feature allowing players to come back from the dead. During the first few minutes of the match, players who are knocked out in combat will be sent back to deployment pods instead of being eliminated, earning themselves a Second Chance.
In the event’s second week starting on October 27, things will get extra spooky as a thick Halloween fog will also be covering the city in the brand-new Dark Haze Squad mode. With limited visibility, no Crown and an arsenal reduced to a selection of weapons and hacks, players will have to work together with their squad to track and eliminate all opposition to get victorious.
During the event players will also have the opportunity to purchase a selection of new exclusive Halloween-themed cosmetics available in the game’s store, including new Champion outfits, new deployment pods, new weapon skins and more.
Hyper Scape is an urban, fast-paced, free-to-play Battle Royale game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
