Learn the Enchanting Ways of Alchemyin Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout

A Completely Revamped Synthesis System Welcomes Both Newcomers and Veterans Alike to Become Full-Fledged Alchemists

Burlingame, Calif. – July 26, 2019 – KOEI TECMO America and GUST Studios revealed a treasure trove of information today for their upcoming title Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. Slated to launch October 29, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC via Steam®; players will follow the exploits of the teenage tomboy, Ryza, and her band of mischievous friends on a heart-warming adventure – filled with magic, mystery, and self-discovery.

Throughout her journey, Ryza will rely upon her newfound powers of synthesis; creating items which will help her overcome any obstacle in her path, including the powerful new threat facing her beloved hometown. In fact, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout features a completely revamped synthesis interface, which clearly displays the required materials and effects that can be added to items at a glance. This new ‘Linkage Synthesis’ system features a fixed number of cells that players can unlock via strategic item placement – extending a variety of different results imbued onto the final product depending on the way the cell branches. Special change recipe cells can also be uncovered to unlock new recipes, enabling aspiring alchemists to experiment with different items while discovering exciting new results.

The new ‘Item Rebuild’ process then allows for these created items to be used again during synthesis. Rebuilding an item offers the chance to make it stronger than it was originally built – the more times an item is rebuilt, the more superior it will become. However, rebuilding an item also causes the amount of dexterity required to increase, limiting the amount of characters who will be able to us them. Choosing between item strength and ease of use is now vital when planning battle strategies.

In addition to the synthesis system information, a charming new trailer for Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout was also released; along with various images of some of the colorful characters Ryza will meet on her journey including: close childhood friends, Lent and Tao; the courageous merchant’s daughter, Klaudia; the protector of Rasenboden Village, Agatha; the mysterious wandering alchemist, Empel; the cool and composed wandering warrio, Lila; and the young sprit, Kilo.

Gallop over to the Tilt Five area in Hall C to get hands-on with this fast-pacedWild West strategy game!

Mountain View, Calif.—July 26, 2019—CornBilt announced today that they will be showcasing the digital version of the upcoming LocoMotives at Gen Con 2019 at the Tilt Five area in Hall C. An epic game of town building, track laying and bandit fighting set in the Wild West for 1-4 players, LocoMotives is currently available for free in digital format for PC, Mac, Android, iOS and webGL, with the tabletop version coming soon to Kickstarter.

“All of us on the team have been playing and making up tabletop games since we were kids, and we met through the game society in college,” said Todd Porter, CEO of CornBilt. “While our various careers took us down different paths, we’ve now come full circle back to LocoMotives, an addictive strategy game that’s fun for all ages.” Combining elements of classic tabletop games like Ticket to Ride and Catan with the crazy sights and explosive sounds of the Wild West, LocoMotives pits players in a race to build the greatest railroad empire using four decks of 60 Cards and 48 Good, Bad and Kinda Ugly Characters. In the digital version, players may test their wits against up to three AI opponents, and up to four players can compete via hotseat. A tutorial quickly familiarizes players with the basics, and a high falutin’ soundtrack sets the Western mood. 

LocoMotives will be a featured title on the upcoming AR board game platform, Tilt Five. The game debuts IsoTiles™, a proprietary technology that generates realistic 3D boards and pieces. This approach uses Unity, a game development tool used to create half of the world’s digital games.

“Our glasses create a holographic image of the board game and don’t block out the world around you,” said Jeri Ellsworth, CEO of Tilt Five. “As a fast-paced game with a lot of humor and player interaction, LocoMotives is a perfect fit for the platform.”For all the latest news, visit www.cornbilt.com and follow us on Facebook.
