Save nature in an exploratory platformer for all ages.

London, United Kingdom – September 1st, 2020 – Chameleon Games’ third-person action-adventure Tamarin™ is launching September 10th on PlayStation 4 and PC. Set in beautiful Nordic scenery, Tamarin stars the world’s cutest monkey on a quest to save his family from ever-expanding insects intent on industrializing the forest that the tamarins call home.

Tamarin channels the energy of 3D platformer classics and explorative Metroidvania shooters. Explore an incredible interconnected 3D world, brimming with primate platforming and bug-splattering shooter action. Leap with the agility of a tamarin as you journey into the Northern wilderness on scenic routes through forests, fjords and mountains. Along the way you will chase mysterious electrical fireflies, discover a secret underground world of dancing ants, rescue innocent birds, and restore the tamarins’ once idyllic natural habitat.

Director Omar Sawi has brought on an all-star cast from Rare’s golden era to help execute his creative vision for Tamarin and recapture the style and magical experiences they were famous for. To mention a few, Banjo-Kazooie character designer Steve Mayles helped craft the iconic new tamarins. Diddy Kong and Battletoads designer Kev Bayliss provided character concept art. Donkey Kong 64 artist Richard Vaucher leads the art production. And Donkey Kong Country and Starfox Adventures composer David Wise tunes in with a beautiful and atmospheric soundtrack – complemented by the impactful sound effects of action-game veteran Graeme Norgate (GoldenEye 007, Jet Force Gemini, Killer Instinct).

“Tamarin is a game that’s beautiful and has a meaning, as it’s about our natural world and environmental conservation, an issue that’s becoming increasingly urgent in recent years,” said Omar Sawi, Founder of Chameleon Games. “We wanted to explore this in a fun way that combines the delightful charm of vintage 3D platformers with Metroidvania exploration adventures and classic arcade shooters. Tamarin is both a blast to play, and a reminder of what’s at stake in the real world.”

Pre-orders are available now on the official Tamarin website, and include the following bonuses:
– 10% off!
– Instant access to free Tamarin wallpapers
– Exclusive first listen to a tune from the game’s soundtrack
– Tamarin cheat codes

Lenovo™ Reveals Smarter Innovation and Design with Holiday Consumer Line-up

Give the gift of smarter tech with three new premium laptops coming this season

Enjoy powerfully immersive entertainment and more productivity with this season’s must-have tech devices that are more intuitive, packed with thoughtful design details, and oh so stylish. In time for great holiday gift giving, Lenovo™ is introducing a number of new premium consumer products aimed at enabling better, transformative user experiences including the Lenovo Yoga™ Slim 9i¹ laptop with genuine leather cover, the versatile Lenovo Yoga 9i¹ 2-in-1 convertible laptop, and the stylish and savage Lenovo Legion Slim 7i¹ gaming laptop.

The ultrathin bezels on the new Yoga Slim 9i, both 2D and 3D glass options shown ⁴

Make a Smarter Style Statement with Yoga

Organise your busy life with the bold innovation of our top-of-the-line consumer PC sub-brand, Lenovo Yoga, designed to deliver refined craftsmanship, Windows 10, and stunning visuals for consumers with sophisticated taste. This new class of slim laptops that includes the ultra-slim Yoga Slim 9i laptop and the new 14-inch Yoga 9i convertible, also with a genuine leather cover option, were engineered to provide exceptional portability and stunning looks without compromising productivity, performance or long-lasting battery life.

Both offer the super-fast responsiveness of next-gen Intel® Core™ processors (coming soon) combined with graphics based on the Intel X^e architecture. The Yoga 9i also comes in a larger 15-inch option with the performance of up to 10^th Gen Intel Core i9 HK-Series mobile processor enhanced by up to powerful NVIDIA® GTX 1650 Ti with Max-Q Design to empower your creativity.

Leather cover option on the 14-inch Yoga 9i

If you love high style, then you’ve come to the right place! Prominently featured on the new 14-inch Yoga Slim 9i laptop and optional on the 14-inch Yoga 9i convertible laptop – as a first on Lenovo consumer laptops – is an authentic black leather cover bonded with an aerospace-grade, aluminum chassis for more durability.

The Yoga Slim 9i

A special 20-step bonding process allows the leather to retain its original appearance with the natural imperfections that make each product unique. This handmade assembly process takes an incredible eye for detail and craftsmanship; each laptop cover is heat stamped with the Yoga logo, then a reflective gloss is applied to make it stand out. Just like any luxe leather good, the soft, organic exterior of these laptops begs to be touched, and to help ensure the highest standards of reliability, each is inspected and tested to withstand the everyday wear and tear under several conditions, including UV light exposure and tension, up to 3 kg of pulling force is applied to test durability.² These quality materials are responsibly sourced by a leading leather developer behind many of today’s popular contemporary brands.

The Yoga 9i convertible is also offered in all-metal and multiple colors, including warm Mica on the 14-inch and Slate Grey on the 15-inch model.³

Premium Entertainment at Home or from Nearly Anywhere

The attractive 14-inch Yoga Slim 9i is one of our most premium, thinnest and lightest laptops at just 13.9mm (0.54 inches) and weighing only 1.26kg (2.77 lbs). It offers up to 4K touchscreen IPS VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 (3840 x 2160) and dazzles with up to 90 percent DCI-P3 color spectrum and 500 nits of brightness that’s optimised by Dolby Vision®.

Improved Rotating Sound Bar hinge on the Yoga 9i, shown on the 14-inch model

To provide the ultimate sight and sound experience, all of the consumer Yoga laptops unveiled today offer stunning visuals enabled by Dolby Vision for ultra-vivid picture quality and spectacular sound powered by Dolby Atmos® Speaker System which is delivered through dual front-facing speakers on the Yoga Slim 9i laptop, or via an improved Rotating Sound Bar capable of delivering Dolby Atmos experiences on the Yoga 9i. Design improvements include a larger sound tunnel and optimised speaker placements in the convertible’s hinge for clearer and deeper audio in every mode. The Yoga Slim 9i model with UHD display also offers a 3D Curved-edge Display⁴ as a premium option for a more streamlined look that’s inspired by the micro-borders of a smartphone.

Cool to the Touch and Responsive in your Hand

The interactive touchscreen experience comes standard on the Yoga Slim 9i as it does on our Yoga 9i 2-in-1 convertibles. Bring entertainment to life on the versatile 14-inch Yoga 9i with up to 4K IPS VESA DisplayHDR 400 and the metal option weighing just 1.37 kg (3.02 lbs), or go for the 15.6-inch panel option for up to 4K IPS VESA DisplayHDR 400, also with 500 nits of brightness and weighing 2 kg (4.4 lbs). Help protect your eyesight while working longer hours on your laptop by adjusting the tones of your display using Eye Care Mode via Lenovo Vantage.

The 15-inch Yoga 9i in Slate Grey

With this caliber of visual horsepower stacked inside such a thin and light package, we had to rethink the thermal design of the Yoga 9i 14-inch model. To keep things cool to the touch, we added thermal venting holes on the underside of the keyboard, which lowers the device temperature by an average of two degrees Celsius over previous generation.⁵ We also increased the size of the hidden heat vent behind the Yoga 9i’s rotating hinge, while slimming down our fan blades, just a few examples of the purposeful details that allow you to accelerate the apps you use every day.

No matter if you go with the 14- or 15-inch model, you’re getting our best consumer features in a convertible. Because with the 15-inch Yoga 9i with up to 16GB DDR4 memory and up to 2TB PCIe SSD storage⁶, you’re also getting discrete graphics and two Thunderbolt 3 ports for power, speedy data transfers and external display support—all wrapped up in a sturdy yet lightweight metal body. Both convertibles come with Windows Ink and a garaged active pen that fits comfortably in your hand and quickly recharges inside the PC when you’re not using it to sketch, doodle or take notes.⁷ And if you’re a scribbler who prefers a real pen in your hand, the new elastomer nib on the Yoga 9i’s digital pen replicates a nicer, smoother tactile feel when writing.

Improved active pen comes with Yoga 9i, the 14-inch shown here in Mica

Also offered on our hand-tooled leather-covered 14-inch models in Shadow Black hue is an edge-to-edge Glass Palm Rest that looks super-premium and is smooth to the touch. An encased Smart Sensor Touchpad provides vibrations when pressed to recreate the familiar feeling of a real click; this shift to haptic feedback allowed us to increase the touchpad’s clickable active surface area by nearly half and we’ve coated it with a fingerprint-resistant finish too, so you need not worry about unseemly smudges. And for a shortcut to more functionality in these times of repeated hand-sanitisation or washing, appreciate the more accurate login of the new Ultrasonic Fingerprint Reader⁸ that’s liquid resistant and works even with damp or freshly sanitised fingers.⁹

The Yoga Slim 9i

Smarter Features add more Convenience

Flow seamlessly between work, entertainment, and passion projects a whole lot faster with smarter features. Power on your Lenovo laptop by simply lifting the lid. Improved Yoga laptop keyboards come with soft-landing dome-design keypads to enable a smooth, comfortable and responsive typing experience that feels bouncier, and the Yoga Slim 9i also comes with Smart Sense Keyboard that auto-adjusts your keyboard’s white backlighting based on ambient light conditions.

The 14-inch Yoga 9i in Mica

To stay better protected on the Yoga 9i, simply slide your webcam’s TrueBlock Privacy Shutter closed; featured for the first time on the Yoga Slim 9i is a new privacy advancement aimed at maintaining a slimmer top bezel while still shutting out unwanted onlookers—just flick an electrical shutter switch on the side to cut power to the Yoga Slim 9i’s built-in infrared (IR) camera for peace of mind. Your IR camera and Windows Hello work with Lenovo Smart Assist to enable smarter features powered by a Lenovo designed and tuned chip to achieve benefits like a more secure hands-free facial recognition login, plus you’ll get shoulder-surfing Privacy Alerts and automatic screen-locking when you walk away, thanks to the attention-sensing software from Glance by Mirametrix®. Your laptop will even call out with an alarm if it’s ever moved without your permission when your back is turned at your local coffee shop. Yoga laptops unveiled today are also capable of auto-upscaling video content quality to 4K from 1080p through use of machine learning in Windows Media Player and today’s popular web browsers, known as Super Resolution 2.0.¹⁰

For even more hands-free functionality, use your laptop’s built-in mics to speak to Alexa® even when your PC is locked.¹¹ You can set reminders, control your smart home, play music and either a skip song or crank up the volume and do all of this without having to turn your attention away from the document you’re editing or the website you’re viewing. Keeping your household in sync can be easier than ever with the Alexa Announcement feature allowing you to broadcast short voice messages to Alexa-enabled devices. In the coming months, you can expect even more features from Alexa to help you stay connected, enjoy your music, and control your smart home.

Battery Life and Better Connectivity

Not only have our laptops gotten thinner, lighter, faster—but they’re more power efficient too. Enjoy faster charging and better performance without overheating and straining the system, thanks to the smarter dual charging built into the new Yoga Slim 9i. This special feature along with an increased battery capacity, up from a 52WHr battery to the more powerful 63.5WHr, means reduced fan noise for a better user experience and a longer battery life of up to 20 hours¹² that exceeds our Rapid Charge Express standard with up to an incredible 4 hours of local video playback after charging in just 15 minutes.¹³ Get connected with up to three full-functional Thunderbolt™ 4 Type-C ports placed on either side of the Yoga Slim 9i for super-fast transfer speeds and high ease of use without your cable getting in the way as you work.

The 15-inch Yoga 9i is immersive in every mode

Power through your day with help from Bluetooth 5.1 and Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+)¹⁴, and stay active with the 14-inch Yoga 9i convertible that comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and up to 18 hours of battery life¹² and Rapid Charge Express.¹⁵ Charge fast with Rapid Charge Boost¹⁶ on the 15-inch Yoga 9i convertible and get up to 13 total hours of battery life¹² —thanks in part to Lenovo Q-Control’s AI-powered Intelligent Cooling built in Lenovo PCs to optimise battery life and thermals according to your needs. To try other performance modes such as Battery Saving Mode for quiet activities and Extreme Performance Mode for heavy-duty tasks, just press your Fn-Q keys.

Experience Immersive Gameplay with the World’s Lightest 15-inch GeForce RTX™ Gaming Laptop

The holiday season offers gamers lots of opportunities for well-earned downtime in front of your battle rig playing your favorite titles. But when it’s time to get back to work or school, don’t forget that gaming laptops with dedicated graphics and Windows 10 can be used for more than just gaming. To give you the freedom to take your device wherever you need, we’re introducing the world’s lightest GeForce RTX gaming laptop¹⁷ available in a compact 15-inch size the new Lenovo Legion Slim 7i¹with up to 10^th Gen Intel Core i9 HK-series mobile processor which allows for unlocked gamer tuning.¹⁸ Available in Slate Grey hue and made from aerospace-grade aluminum for its strength and extreme lightness, this finely-calibrated powerhouse gaming machine offers impressive frame rates and reduced load times.

Withup to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with Max-Q Design GPUs for real-time ray tracing, Lenovo engineers work closely with NVIDIA on Max-Q-configured laptops to develop new features that increase both performance and power optimisation like Advanced Optimus¹⁹ technology that lets you manage system graphics by intuitively switching back and forth from integrated (for light workloads) and discrete graphics to dramatically extend battery life for max frame rates when gaming on models with Full HD panel option.

Historically, a laptop’s CPU and GPU have a predefined and fixed power budget regardless of the type of content being run. But with built-in Max-Q Dynamic Boost²⁰ technology, it automatically enables real-time GPU and CPU power balancing, allowing your system to dynamically shift power from the CPU to the GPU during heavy-duty activities like gaming.²⁰ By intelligently assessing your system’s power demand on a frame-by-frame basis, a power shift only happens when it’s needed, resulting in higher frame rates and smoother gaming for up to a 10 percent performance boost.²⁰

Other NVIDIA supported features on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i with up to GeForce RTX GPUs include enhanced DLSS 2.0 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which uses AI to boost frame rates by up to two-times faster²¹ than the original while retaining a sharper image with half the pixels when ray tracing is enabled. 

Games like a Pro, Stays Cool under Pressure

Less bulk at 17.9mm slim (.71 inches) and weighing just 1.86 kg (3.96 lbs) means more mobility aided by a 71WHr battery for up to 7.75 hours of battery life²² and Rapid Charge Pro.²³ To create thinner, lighter and more powerful gaming laptop designs every year, we continually optimise thermal performance via the smarter airflow solutions of Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0. With new machine-drilled holes applied above the keyboard, our redesigned air intake system is 31 percent larger on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i to better manage any heat dissipated during heavy gameplay with up to 115 percent more airflow going to the CPU and GPU than in previous generations. Combined with an increased number of exhaust fan blades so it can grab and push more cool air, and a smarter 5-point sensor array that monitors the system to stay two steps ahead of any increased power demands, your cooling fans won’t get too loud to drown out the incredibly immersive sound of Dolby Atmos Speaker System with Sound Radar by Dolby, all set inside your laptop’s well-designed acoustics chamber to reduce rattling.

Be Battle Ready with Smarter Features

Bootup and log in with one click with an intuitive biometric Fingerprint Reader built into the power button, and for more privacy use the built-in Privacy Shutter on your new top-placed webcam. And because every gamer’s needs and wants are different, we offer up to 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (RAID 0) of storage⁶, up to 32GB 3200 MHz DDR4 of memory, and multiple 15.6-inch screen options, including up to 4K IPS VESA DisplayHDR 400 with 100 percent Adobe RGB, a refresh rate of 60Hz, and 600 nits of brightness—ideal for streamers. Or, if you’re into eSports and would rather hit 144 frames per second (FPS) at 144Hz for less lag on a Full HD IPS display with 100 percent sRGB color gamut, the choice is entirely yours. All of our stunning visual displays offer expansive 85.6 percent screen viewing ratio and support Dolby Vision, which transforms entertainment through incredible brightness, contrast, color, and detail. When compared to a standard picture on PCs, Dolby Vision can deliver colors and highlights that are even brighter with darker blacks. The result is a refined, lifelike image that will make you forget you’re looking at a laptop screen.

There is no hope. There is only TERROR SQUID

Oslo, Norway – August 31st, 2020 – Apt Games has unleashed an all new trailer for TERROR SQUID as part of Gamescom’s Awesome Indies showcase. Succumb to its score attack synth nightmare in this sneak peek ahead of its Fall release on Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac.

TERROR SQUID is an easy to understand but difficult to master arcade game in which every enemy projectile is emitted by you, the TERROR SQUID. Set around a doomed planet, you’re a cosmic chaos entity spinning around the world emitting all manner of hazardous projectiles. What goes around comes around, as your inky bullet reign of terror circles around the globe creating an apocalypse of your own design. TERROR SQUID obliterates genre conventions of tightly choreographed patterns, and instead puts you in the role of your own worst enemy. Think fast and strategically as you weave through a bullet hell of your own making!

Your objective is to survive for as long as possible without getting hit by your own projectiles. Survive for long enough and you can release a primordial blast of dark energy, detonating your projectiles in glorious chain reactions. Inspired by the spherical maps of Super Stardust and the short, intense action of Devil Daggers, TERROR SQUID is an endlessly addictive test of strategy and reflexes. Only the best players will manage to survive for even a minute in this unholy vector graphics apocalypse. Destroy worlds, ascend the leaderboards, and become one with the void in TERROR SQUID.

“TERROR SQUID has long been a passion project that merges Lovecraftian horror with Super Stardust-like arcade action and 80s darkwave music,” said Creative Director Syver Lauritzsen. “It’s more than just retro nostalgia though, as TERROR SQUID’s brief loops of ultra punishing action will test your skills and wits as you enter a flow state and become one with the TERROR SQUID.”

Developers reveal new gameplay walkthrough in Gamescom Awesome Indies showcase

Montréal, Quebec – August 31st, 2020 – Breaking Walls has revealed an all new developer walkthrough showcasing the life of a sugar glider in AWAY: The Survival Series, heading to PC and PS4 in Early 2021. Enter your own personal nature documentary as you glide through the forest, sneak past predators, and hunt down your prey, all while a narrator describes your every move.

AWAY: The Survival Series is an exploration adventure set in a distant future where nature has reclaimed the planet. Playing as a tiny sugar glider, soar across misty chasms, leap from tree to tree, and climb to the top of the forest canopy as you embark on a journey to save your family.

As you brave these untamed lands, you will have to hunt down small prey, fight larger enemies, and hide from apex predators. Jump, climb, and glide through your environments as you solve navigational puzzles and make your way through the dense wilderness.

Along the way players will uncover the mysterious remnants of a fallen human civilization. While most of the game is played from the perspective of the sugar glider, there are brief sequences where players can control other animals and insects, such as beetles, lizards, foxes, crabs, and more. The world of AWAY is vast and wild, and there’s something new to discover around every corner.

Breaking Walls is composed of an all-star team of industry veterans who have worked on acclaimed series such as Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia and Far Cry. Additionally, Breaking Walls has partnered with Life and Planet Earth II composer Mike Raznick to create an enchanting orchestral score for AWAY: The Survival Series. The result is a natural world brought to life with stunning detail.

“AWAY: The Survival Series has been inspired by contemporary nature documentaries such as Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Life, and Our Planet, offering players a truly immersive and cinematic take on a nature adventure,” said Breaking Walls Co-Founder and Creative Director Laurent Bernier. “We want AWAY: The Survival Series to truly embody the wonder, majesty, and perils of the natural world. We look forward to showing you more when AWAY launches in early 2021.”

Breaking Walls has also released a set of relaxing nature soundscapes recorded straight out of the game. Immerse yourself in the world of AWAY with the sounds of a dense forest, the gentle call of birds, and the echo of a distant waterfall. You can get the soundscapes for free at awayseries.com/nature.
