Hardware Heavyweight CORSAIR Joins PC Building Simulator, Discounted Pre-orders are Now Live

Fans pre-ordering from the website will receive 10 percent off

LONDON – March 15th, 2018 – UK-based independent game publisher The Irregular Corporation is delighted to announce that hardware giant, CORSAIR, has joined the PC Building Simulator project as a partner. Preorders for this unique and ultra-realistic sim are now live on PCBuildlingSim.com. CORSAIR creates high-performance PC components for PC Gaming enthusiasts who build their own PCs or want bespoke, pre-assembled systems.

At launch, enthusiast PC builders creating their dream machines in PC Building Simulator will have access to CORSAIR’s Crystal Series 570X RGB ATX Mid-Tower Case, TX-M Series PSUs, and Dominator Platinum series RAM, all of which will be recreated and fully functional within the simulation. Players can tweak and change every component to build their ideal rig – from sci-fi esque builds crammed with flashy LEDs to classy, minimalist designs.

Crystal Series 570X RGB ATX Mid-Tower Case

With immaculate tempered glass enclosing the entire chassis, every component of your build is on display for all to see, including three vivid SP120 RGB LED fans and a built-in LED controller.

TX-M Series PSUs

TX Series semi-modular power supplies are ideal for basic desktop systems where low energy use, low noise, and simple installation are essential.

Dominator Platinum series RAM

Dominator Platinum is the world’s most advanced performance memory. It builds on the legacy of the world’s most awarded high-performance memory, adding a striking new industrial design and LED lighting effects. Dominator Platinum memory kits are built using only select memory ICs, highly screened for performance and stability, and feature CORSAIR’s patented DHX® cooling technology so you can push them to the limit.

“We’ve been following the development of PC Building Simulator since it was first announced and are delighted to begin adding CORSAIR products to the game,” said Harry Butler, director of public relations and marketing communications at CORSAIR. “This first selection represents some of our most popular and iconic products, and we hope to bring many more CORSAIR parts to PC Building Simulator soon.”

PC Building Simulator puts players in the anti-static wrist strap of a PC builder, working within their own shop to create fully functioning gaming PCs. The game features a large array of detailed and accurately-rendered components, from motherboards to CPUs, that respond just as they would in real life. Fully animated installations let the players see exactly where each part slots into the computer, preparing them for a real life build once they feel comfortable within the simulation.

A clever tutorial guides players step-by-step through the PC building process. Using detailed instructions, the simulator explains each component and function and allows players the freedom to preview their own creations and play independently when they have learned the ropes. Well, the cables – never underestimate the positive effects of good cable management!

PC Building Simulator is going into Early Access on March 27th. You can add PC Building Simulator to your wishlist today at http://store.steampowered.com/app/621060/PC_Building_Simulator/.

Publisher and Developer Form Mystic Allegiance to Digitally Publish the Sweeping and Epic Tale Across all Major Gaming Platforms

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 14, 2018 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today announced it has entered into a partnership with Portugal-based developer Amplify Creations, to publish the third-person fantasy action-RPG Decay of Logos on digital storefronts across all major gaming formats in Autumn 2018.

Decay of Logos is an immersive action role-playing game inspired by the developer’s love and passion for European folklore, high fantasy fiction and archetypal classic third-person action-RPG videogames. The game hails from the imagination of lead game designer and programmer André Constantino and is developed by award-winning independent software organization Amplify Creations.

The game sees players exploring a vast interconnected world, packed with secret locations and items to discover. Adventurers will engage in deadly and punishing combat with other-worldly enemy constructs, and discover a world filled with arcane lore as they unravel the intricacies of the game’s various weapon, armor, inventory and level-up systems and mechanics.

“After many years developing middleware used by thousands of other game developers, our good fortune has allowed us to indulge in a passion project to make the kind of game that excites us as players”, said Diogo Teixeira, producer at Amplify Creations. “Working alongside Rising Star Games has been both a pleasure and an enriching experience that will undoubtedly help us deliver a better product and reach a wider audience.”

“It is an honor to work alongside such a credible and visionary organization as Amplify Creations, to help bring their incredible imagination to life in Decay of Logos”, said Martin Defries, President of Rising Star Games. “The game is striking, complex, subtle and beautiful all at once and enriches Rising Star Games’ portfolio of outstanding action games.”

Decay of Logos weaves a tale of a girl and her elk companion, who meet after her village is destroyed by one of the King’s sons. Battered and oblivious of the culprit behind the attack, the girl will not rest until she has her revenge. During her quest she will unveil secrets about the King and his sons, slowly realizing that all is not what it seems.

Take a peek behind the curtain at the ongoing development of the game and follow the Amplify Creations team’s development blog at www.decayoflogos.com.

SKY NOON PRESENTS THE AIR POWERED ARSENAL OF THE REIMAGINED WILD WEST

Saddle Up for the Closed Beta This April and Join the Official Discord Channel Launching Today

Independent game developer Lunar Rooster and indie games partner Reverb Triple XP have released today an all new trailer for their reimagined western Sky Noon that showcases all of the various weapons and tools that are at player’s disposal. From the huge AOE blast of the “Jail Breaker” Hand Cannon, to the automatic fire of the “Road Runner” Machine Pistol, there’s a weapon for every player’s style in Sky Noon. But remember pardner – in this first person action brawler, these guns aren’t equipped with bullets! They all hold powerful rounds of compressed air bursts perfectly suitable for blasting opponents off the floating islands!

Gamers ready to cowboy up into Sky Noon are in luck! Reverb Triple XP will be taking sign-ups to a special Closed Beta that will take place this April. Please sign-up HERE to take part in the Sky Noon Closed Beta and stay tuned for more details on the official Sky Noon Discord channel.

Wooah Nelly, that’s right! The Official Sky Noon Discord Channel also launches today and gamers should join the Sky Noon posse for future news on the game, social events, and giveaway promotions: discord.gg/skynoon

Some of the rip-roaring weapons and tools featured in Sky Noon:

• Machine Pistol aka Road Runner: Target other players with endless bursts of air as the Machine Pistol is fully equipped to handle a large quantity of air rounds.
• Shotgun aka Typhoon: The range of the Shotgun may be short, but with a wide spread shooting capacity, players will be able to efficiently take down their opponents.
• Revolver aka Ol’ Faithful: For the player who has dreamed of being a western sharp shooter ala John Wayne, the Revolver is the perfect weapon to pick off your enemies with precision.
• Hand Cannon aka Jail Breaker: The Hand Cannon is the gun for players who want to send their opponents blasting off into the clouds with a powerful BOOM!
• Grappling Hook aka…The Lifeline: Players can use the grappling hook to latch onto buildings, crates, or the floating islands themselves to save themselves from being eliminated!

Sky Noon takes place in a reinvented Wild West universe where the frontier floats among the clouds. Powerful cartels crave to control the most precious resource in the West: water. Players take the role of hired gunslingers that battle opposing fighters across floating islands in the sky. There are no health meters in Sky Noon; instead, to eliminate enemies, players use various super-power compressed air weapons to send them flying out of their boot spurs! Grappling hooks and lassos must constantly be used to prevent players from falling off into the great blue sky. Combined with other items like steam-powered jetpacks, jump pads, and teleporters, cowboys need to be quick on the draw and light on their boots in the fast-paced, aerial mayhem of Sky Noon.

Sky Noon will be launching on Steam Early Access in Q2 2018. Cowboys looking to join the gang should follow the game development on Twitter, “Like” us on Facebook, connect on Discord, and visit the official site, SkyNoonGame.com.
