DARE THE MOST INHOSPITABLE CORNERS OF THE UNIVERSE IN DOLMEN, A TERRIFYING NEW ACTION-RPG PREMIERING AT GDC 2018

Futuristic Science Fiction Meets Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror in New SoulsBorne-Inspired RPG Making its North American Debut this Month

NATAL-RN, BRAZIL (MARCH 7, 2018) – Brazil-based independent developer Massive Work Studio is thrilled to announce today that its premier Sci-Fi Third-Person Action-RPG DOLMEN will make its North American debut at GDC 2018 in San Francisco this month! Steeped in Cosmic Horror and set in the mold of the RPG “SoulsBorne” subgenre, DOLMEN will engross players in an otherworldly mystery where they must adapt to survive against harsh elements and nightmarish creatures.

DOLMEN casts players onto a hostile alien world known as Revion Prime, the location of the greatest recorded massacre in galactic history. Little more can be said about the far-off planet since its coordinates were lost to war. As neighbors, it has four gas giants and a nearby star called Nynfield. The corpses of those who lived there long ago orbit the planet — like a mass grave suspended in time. As the sole survivor of a crew of human astronauts, pulled from charted space and abducted into a distant future, you awake below the planet’s surface with no supplies. Being alone on Revion Prime is like having been forgotten by life itself. With no answers as to how you got there, or what happened to your crew, your journey begins in the dark.

The key to survival in DOLMEN is adaptation and exploration. All gear must be harvested from the finite resources available on the planet. Craft armor, weapon upgrades and consumables as you try to survive, and power your space suit with Reactors to gain new attributes. The many kinds of eldritch horrors and abominable beings that populate the planet react dynamically and differently when attacked. By gaining experience, level up your character to fit your playstyle and improve your chances of survival. But don’t forget to stock your base or risk losing it all. Revion Prime is unforgiving; you’ll learn that the hard way.

“Since the beginning, our motto has been ‘work, work and work,” said Pedro Bastos, Producer at Massive Work Studio. “We have dedicated over a year of our lives to pour every bit of passion we have into developing DOLMEN to the point where we feel our efforts have been successful. We very much look forward to sharing it with fans of Sci-Fi horror and intense Action-RPGs at GDC!”

DOLMEN’s Key Features:

Explore a Devastated, Darkly Beautiful Planet: Revion Prime is an alien world, with environments inspired by the work of macabre artists like H.R. Giger and H.P. Lovecraft, that challenges you to unearth its dark history by connecting fragments of the past.

Engage in Fast-Paced Dynamic Combat: Combat is intense and heavily based on timing, mixing melee-based attacks, Over-the-Shoulder (OTS) perspective long-range shooting and the use of defensive maneuvers such as dodging and blocking.

Adapt or Perish; Craft to Survive: Mankind, so we believe, has become a prevalent species due to its ability to endure and adapt to inhospitable environments. Build up your skills and scavenge what little resources are available to create items and customize your equipment. You’re going to need anything you can find to live to see another day.

Massive Work Studio will showcase DOLMEN for the first time in North America during GDC 2018 from March 21 – March 23, 2018, in the GDC Play area at Booth PL4146 (North Hall) in the Moscone Convention Center. Show attendees will get a first glimpse at the tragic history of Revion Prime and experience DOLMEN’s unique gameplay mechanics first-hand. DOLMEN is currently targeting an early 2019 release on Steam, with console versions planned for a later date.

Bombslinger Bursts Onto Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC 11 April

BRUSSELS – 7 March – Hang onto your hats cowgirls and cowboys! Bombslinger, the action-maze game filled with more explosives than a whiskey-fueled Fourth of July, will come to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC on 11 April, 2018.

Our pals at Mode4 will keep the classic penny-arcadey four-player free-for-all game mode the bomb throwing genre is known for, but are reimagining the solo adventure with procedurally generated levels, character progression with skill upgrades, and a variety of offensive and defensive items, all while telling a tale of revenge that is right at home in the Wild West.

The story follows the Bombslinger, a ruthless bandit turned peaceful rancher on a quest to avenge the murder of his missus and destruction of his ranch at the hands of his brother, the Gunslinger.

Currently in something called “Steam Early Access”, which I can only imagine is some sort of locomotive ride, the full launch of Bombslinger will debut our hero’s final showdown with the Gunslinger and enough new items, environments and enemies to fill a general goods store.

“We’ve enjoyed working with players to make sure Bombslinger has enough content to create a highly replayable experience players can enjoy alone or with friends,” says Ferry Keesom, Co-Founder, Programmer and Designer, Mode4. “We look forward to sharing the fruits of our love of classic westerns and bomb-slinging games with new audiences.”

You don’t need to live in the Wild West to enjoy Bombslinger. This adventure will also be told in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch and Simplified Chinese.

For more information, please visit the official website.

About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organisations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter confrontations. For the first time in a Rainbow Six game, players will engage in sieges, a new style of assault where enemies have the means to transform their environments into modern strongholds while Rainbow Six teams lead the assault to breach the enemy’s position. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire and deployable shields, laying mines and more, or to breach the enemies’ position using observation drones, setting charges, rappelling and more. The fast pace and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.

HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL LIVE-ACTION SEDUCTION SIM SUPER SEDUCER AVAILABLE TODAY FOR WINDOWS PC AND MAC

World-Renowned Dating Coach Richard La Ruina Shows Men How to Take Their Seduction Skills to the Next Level in Full-Motion Video Seduction Simulator 

PORT-LOUIS, MAURITIUS (MARCH 6, 2018) – Best-selling author and renowned men’s dating coach Richard La Ruina and independent developer Fair Play Labs today announced that the first ever live-action seduction sim Super Seducer is now available for Windows PC and Mac for $12.99 USD via Steam. Super Seducer is a full-motion video choose-your-own-adventure seduction simulator that turns dating duds into studs by teaching players the secret psychological tricks of attraction experts, accumulated from over 20 years of live workshops.

Super Seducer’s announcement has been greeted by a hailstorm of strong reactions. Some labeled the game as sexist or outright sleazy and thought it shouldn’t be made. Others have found the game humorously entertaining or even silly. Some simply thought the game as a great tool to teach shy guys how to approach women normally out of their self-imposed reach, while also highlighting (and chastising) far-too-common offensive real-world dating behavior. One thing is certain, the opinions about Super Seducer are strong and range widely. Now gamers can check out Super Seducer for themselves and make up their mind about the game’s merits (or lack thereof)!

“My team and I were honestly surprised by the extent of the backlash,” said the game’s designer and principal actor, Richard La Ruina. “We worked hard to ensure that the message of the game was morally positive — to show that being honest is the best way to interact with women of interest and that lying and disrespectful behavior is wrong. There are many deceitful and manipulative techniques in the men’s dating field, and nothing like that is included. Having said that, I respect the opinion of those who play the game before judging, and make up their own mind.”

The game’s lead actress, Shanna Vincent (Mr. Right, Homefront, American Ultra), added: “Before I was cast in this role, I had the opportunity to read the script and to speak with Richard, and I do firmly believe the game puts women in a powerful role and does try to correct bad male behavior.”

Discover what it takes to charm Super Seducer’s cast of a dozen elegant women, who bring their own personalities and dating experiences to each of the game’s ten unique settings, for added authenticity and hilarious improvisational moments that run the gamut from adorable, laugh-out funny to downright cringe-worthy. Branching dialogue-driven action options allow players to learn and experience proper seduction tactics with instant feedback. Players that make the wrong move in their flirtatious conquests face a variety of awkward and over-the-top negative outcomes inspired by unsuccessful “strategies” observed in the real world by Richard La Ruina and his team of female consultants.

“Super Seducer is not only an incredibly amusing game, it’s a fantastic learning tool based on realistic human sexual psychology and real-world dating rituals that reward players for making better choices when approaching women and punishes them for making a mistake or acting inappropriately,” said Richard La Ruina. “The team of women that consulted on the project, including the game’s strong female cast, believe that Super Seducer educates men on the do’s and don’ts of seduction, making men much less likely to offend women after they’ve played the game. My time-tested, research-backed techniques are sure to help anyone meet the partner of their dreams!”

He continued, “In my line of work, hearing from former clients that they’ve found a significant other is incredibly rewarding. I hope to hear similar stories from players of Super Seducer,” he said. “Who knows, if Super Seducer does well, we have lots of ideas for a sequel that explores dating advice for women and those in the LGBTQ+ community.”

Now 37 years old and happily married, Richard’s company teaches men how to transform their love lives and find their soulmate.

Medieval Fantasy Retro FPS AMID EVIL Hits Steam March 12

– From the producers of DUSK and the creators of Return of the Triad –

Carlsbad, Calif., — March 6^th, 2018 – Publisher New Blood Interactive and developer Indefatigable announced today that the Heretic-styled throwback AMID EVIL will scorn its way onto Steam Early Access next week for $20: http://store.steampowered.com/app/673130/AMID_EVIL/.

AMID EVIL’s fast-paced and over-the-top action is a modern throwback to games like Heretic and Hexen. Yanking players back to a truly golden PC-age experience, AMID EVIL hosts savagely violent enemies and insane magical weaponry like tridents that shoot high voltage mystical electricity and katanas that expel enough force to mow down several enemies at once.

Brutal new footage released today introduces the endless mode gameplay, Hordes of Evil, which pits players against insane enemy AI. Hordes of Evil is included in the Early Access version of the game, which grants players three of the final seven campaign episodes. Each episode boasts different environments and enemies, as well as multitudes of in-game options and cheat codes.

Created with Unreal Engine and optimized to run on a toaster (a really nice toaster), the game sports a dynamic and remarkable soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult (Rise of the Triad, DUSK). AMID EVIL will unleash its full fury later this year.
