Bonus Level Entertainment Reveals 16-Bit-Style Action Platformer FOX n FORESTS

German game developer Bonus Level Entertainment today revealed its multiplatform game FOX n FORESTS, set for a Fall 2017 release as digital download. The Kickstarter campaign for the 2D action platformer continues until August 13, 2016.

Rupert Ochsner (CEO, Co-Founder): “Our Goal is to reinvent 16-Bit gaming by merging a nostalgic look and feel with modern game design. We love retro games and the idea for FOX n FORESTS came up over 10 years ago. Now we are finally making our dream a reality.”

Holger Kuchling (CFO, Co-Founder): “The team of Bonus Level Entertainment grew up on games of the 80s and 90s, and some of us already worked in the industry back then. So we definitely know where we are coming from and what we are doing. The game is inspired by the glorious days of 16-Bit and all time classics such as Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts, Wonder Boy in Monster World and ActRaiser 2 as well as the Castlevania and Zelda series.”

FOX n FORESTS is a 2D 16-Bit-style action platformer with adventure and puzzle elements. Set within a mystic forest and its surroundings, FOX n FORESTS is a stunning fable offering pixel perfect retrotainment and rewarding challenges. You play as Rick the Fox and your weapon is a magic melee crossbow that can not only be used for ranged and close up combat, but empowers you to seamlessly switch between two seasons per level, completely changing the whole environment and revealing amazing secrets, tricky skill tests and thriving exploration.

Pixel perfect platforming, screen-filling bosses, rich bonus levels, powerful potions, bags of loot, stuffed shops, clever backtracking, challenging skill tests, a magic melee crossbow to shoot and slash enemies, upgradeable shots, not four but five seasons to explore, stunning 16-Bit pixel art, a catchy chip tunes soundtrack and tons of humorous retro charm combined with modern game design makes FOX n FORESTS a worthy revival of games from the Golden Age.

Please watch out our reveal trailer and download our press kit here. Feel free to join our community on Facebook and Twitter or support the game directly on Kickstarter. More information and screenshots can be found on our website: www.foxnforests.com

At this year’s gamescom in Cologne, journalists have the opportunity to interview the team of developers.

ARMORED WARFARE ADDS NEW FEATURES TO ENHANCE GAMEPLAY

Update 0.16 Streamlines Existing Content Using Community Feedback

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – July 13, 2016 – Obsidian Entertainment and global publisher My.com are proud to announce the newest addition to Armored Warfare. Update 0.16 is focused on addressing a selection of fixes for Armored Warfare based upon community feedback, apart from adding new tanks and maps to the game. After carefully evaluating the community’s opinion, the decision was made to shift focus towards streamlining existing content first and foremost.

Update 0.16 features include:

• New High-Tier Vehicles: Players will be able to get their hands on the brand new T-15 HIFV Tier 10 Armored Fighting Vehicle and the Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer PTL-02
• Loot System: Every time players participate in a match (be it PvP or PvE), they will have a chance to be rewarded with a Supply Crate. Both the opportunities to earn the Supply Crate and its Quality Level are strongly influenced by the player’s overall performance in the match, with higher Reputation scores yielding better rewards, regardless if the player was on the winning team or not.
• Updated Sound Effects: Sounds in Armored Warfare have undergone a revamp in Update 0.16. Every major sound system has been given new sounds and several new distinct sound effects that were added for gameplay systems which previously lacked elaborate audio cues. As a result, players will now be immersed in a much more atmospheric experience in Armored Warfare. Included are new engine sounds, new sounds for ricochets, and turret rotations, among many others.
• New PvE Missions and maps: Operations Zero Hour, Basilisk, and Erebos will pose new threats for players teaming up in Armored Warfare’s co-operative gameplay mode.
• New Commendation System: When a player performs an action that earns them reputation and credits, they now also earn a visual commendation. Unique commendations are awarded to players for accomplishing actions like killing an enemy, assisting in kills or completing objectives. The goal of these, entirely optional commendations, is to provide real-time visual feedback to players in order to notify them whenever they’ve earn some rewards.
• Gameplay Improvements based on Community Feedback: A large number of core gameplay enhancements and issue fixes will be introduced to Armored Warfare. These include Shot Delay correction, Incorrect Turret Facing, and Shot Normalization changes. On top of gameplay feature changes, there are also improvements to the game’s technical performance in general.
