MEDIEVAL CITY BUILDING, STRATEGY AND SURVIVAL COME TOGETHER IN FOREST VILLAGE

MEDIEVAL CITY BUILDING, STRATEGY AND SURVIVAL COME TOGETHER IN FOREST VILLAGE

Lead Your Refugees to a New Life and Create a New Home for Them

May 11, 2017  –  Developer Mindillusion and publisher Bitbox announced today the upcoming release date for their Middle Ages-era City Building game, Life is Feudal: Forest Village. Set for release on May 26, Forest Village challenges players to lead a small group of refugees, forced to begin again on an unknown island. Shape the land and expand with houses, pastures, orchards, farms, windmills and many other real-world experiences. Forage in the forest, hunt for prey, grow crops and domesticate animals for food. As Winter creeps in, you’ll need to stock up on firewood, charcoal and warm clothes to survive.

Feeling like getting more directly involved in your town’s development? Then take control of one of your villagers, zoom down to their level, and work on construction, foraging and management, or just enjoy strolling around town. Forest Village is all about realism, from having to fight disease and malnutrition, to dealing with the specific water and soil requirements of a summer crop, and even getting everyone undercover during a terrifying lightning storm. The game will challenge the burgeoning Burgermeister in everyone.

Life is Feudal: Forest Village is a feature-rich, town building simulator strategy game with engaging survival aspects. Lead your people — a small group of refugees who were forced to start again on an unknown island.

You can oversee your village from a birdseye view or occupy one of your villagers to control and perform tasks in a first person view to speed things up or just to explore.

Features Include:

Advanced farming system – Different crops require varying amounts of moisture, labor and time in order to ripen ready for harvest. Your pastures and hens require hunters to protect them from forest predators.

Switch between birdseye and first person views – Play in a overhead view, or take direct control of a villager and play from a first person perspective.

Diseases, food rations and vitamins – Diseases spread faster in cold weather, especially if your villagers lack warm clothes or their food is too plain and lacking in vitamins. Try to stock all types of food possible to keep your villagers healthy.

Dynamic/reactive  ecosystem – Villagers walking in the surrounding woods too often will scare wildlife deeper into forest, making hunting more challenging. Excessive farming or woodcutting can lead to flora and fauna extinction

Real time weather and seasons system – Summer droughts will force your farmers to water your crops and rainy days will force them to dig trenches to drain excess water. You’ll also need firewood and warm clothes for your villagers in Winter.

Morale and increasing population –  Keep your villagers happy and their families will grow – that is, if their needs are being met! Living in overcrowded hostels, unfulfilled requirements and even bearing witness to a villager’s demise will reduce morale and their productivity.

Disasters – Lightning strikes, tornadoes, earthquakes and more! Make sure your villagers are prepared for disaster and have places to hide.

Mod friendly – Game modders will have access to AI, animations, task and resource management, navigation, sounds and many other game systems.

ABSOLVER COMBAT DETAILED IN NEW TRAILER, PUNCHES ONTO PLAYSTATION 4 AND PC AUGUST 29

ABSOLVER COMBAT DETAILED IN NEW TRAILER, PUNCHES ONTO PLAYSTATION 4 AND PC AUGUST 29

– Make Your Move, Dear Prospect –

PARIS – Independent developer Sloclap and low blow specialists Devolver Digital pulled no punches today as the company released a brand new trailer showcasing the details and nuance of combat in the upcoming online melee action game and announced that Absolver is set to kick your face in on PlayStation 4 and PC August 29th  [absolver.com].

Absolver puts players behind the mask of a Prospect, who has taken a sacred vow and chosen to join the Absolvers, an elite corps of combatants fighting to maintain stability in the world. Prospects will choose a combat style, each with their own special abilities, and assemble their own custom Combat Deck to create a personal fighting system in intense, real-time combat. Choose to wander the land alone, with friends, or find a mentor to spar and learn from to become a more polished warrior.

Absolver’s new trailer dives deep into these details, giving players a good look at each unique fighting method and the abilities they serve.  At the beginning of your journey, players choose one of three combat styles, but others exist in the world of Adal waiting to be discovered. Each of the three initial combat styles come with special abilities and improves special character attributes depending on player style:

Kahlt Method – Absorb hits without being stunned or pushed back, and regain lost health with every successful counter attack.
Forsaken – Balanced and powerful, prospects can parry enemy attacks and briefly stun opponents.
Windfall – Greater dexterity and will, prospects can avoid enemy attacks leaving them open to a powerful counter attack.

The trailer also outlines the Combat Deck. The Combat Deck is the inventory of attacks that players can use while fighting. Your deck is made up of four stances, and in each stance different attacks are available. Players can choose attacks and stances to create their own unique fighting style; it’s fully customizable and you can change your stance on the fly to keep your opponents on their toes.

In combat, players are also able to unlock new attacks, or you can take on a mentor and learn their ways – relationships are as important as they allow you to acquire more skill and knowledge.

Find your combat style when Absolver launches on August 29th.

AMPLITUDE STUDIOS REVEALS THE FINAL FACTION FOR ENDLESS SPACE 2 – THE “UNFALLEN”

AMPLITUDE STUDIOS REVEALS THE FINAL FACTION FOR ENDLESS SPACE 2 – THE “UNFALLEN”

Amplitude Studios announced that the 8th major faction for their sci-fi grand strategy game, Endless Space®2, will be available on May 19. The Unfallen civilisation, completely designed by the community, utilises gameplay modelled around a tree metaphor, with the Unfallen’s homeworld being the trunk, as they slowly expand via their tendrils – colonising systems that are nearest their homeworld. To lose their homeworld is to lose their entire empire, as the Unfallen must maintain contact with their homeworld to survive.

Players of the Unfallen will favour the “slow and steady” pacifist style of play, rather than rushing out to conquer as quickly as possible – expanding their “branches” as they go, while seeking symbiosis with the other factions and providing bonuses to their allies. The Unfallen are also in synch with nature and have the unique ability to awaken the Guardians, beings that normally lie dormant on planets, which when awoken, provide benefits to their owner and friends, and penalties to their foes. Created in cooperation with the Endless Space® 2 community, the Unfallen were designed in several phases by fans via Games2Gether – each phase reflecting an aspect of the new faction; the gameplay, the visuals, and the narrative.

View the Unfallen faction prologue HERE & the Making Of video HERE

Endless Space® 2 will be available on May 19. Known for its deep, engaging, and gorgeous grand strategy games including 2014’s celebrated Endless Legend™ and Dungeon of the Endless™, Amplitude Studios won the venerable 2013 Golden Cube and Community Choice Unity Awards for Endless Space® and the 2015 Best 3D Visual Experience for Endless Legend™.
