My Next Games is happy to reveal Soulblight, a top-down roguelike game that brings the real meaning of the genre back to the RPG

My Next Games is happy to reveal Soulblight, a top-down roguelike game that brings the real meaning of the genre back to the RPG.

Do you fondly remember nights spent with friends over a pen ’n’ paper RPG? Do you pine for the days when RPGs were about truly playing the role of your character rather than leveling up and collecting loot? Are you one of the people who still enjoys taking part in LARP sessions? Then you should definitely follow the development of Soulblight, as it may turn out to be the game that you’ve long been waiting for.

 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s the announcement trailer for your viewing pleasure to introduce you to the world of Soulblight

If you liked what you saw, feel free to give it a thumbs up and vote for the game on Steam Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=716543904

On the face of this wretched world there is a gaping wound. The Temple, once glorious, now forsaken, hides secrets of forgotten machinery. Magical matter is born there when space-time ripples and loses its meaning… and at the heart of it all is an anomaly. A tree shrouded in a mystical liquid, luring those brave enough with its promises of greatness. Do you dare seek its power? Do you wish to drink from the Soulblight?

Soulblight is a top-down roguelike – or, more specifically, as the developers prefer to call it, “rougelite” – that takes the genre’s mechanics and expands on them.

Computer RPGs are in a strange place right now. When you take a closer look, it turns out that pretty much every game with leveling mechanic calls itself an RPG these days. And your only role as a gamer when playing those games is to travel through awesome worlds maxing out your stats and grinding XP at every opportunity. For us personally this has become more mundane than enchanting over the years,” said Jakub Lisiński, designer at My Next Games.

At the same time, we look with nostalgia at our pen and paper RPG memories. Back then, gaining XP was only a part of the fun, and truly becoming the character was the bigger and more meaningful part of the experience. Sometimes role playing could stand in the way of solving the quest at hand, but we’d identify ourselves with our characters and they felt more alive that way. Video games these days are different. You can’t expect players not to fight giant spiders just because their character has arachnophobia, for example. That way they will miss out on precious loot and XP. And they know the game will penalize them for it as it becomes more difficult. So if we want players to actually role‑play, there need to be special mechanics that will encourage them to do so. This is why we’ve created something which we call the Taint System,” Lisiński added.

Soulblight is built around the literal meaning of RPG. So, instead of focusing on XP grinding, the developers decided to design and introduce a unique Taint System. While traveling through the shattered reality of the Temple, gamers will receive personality traits based on their choices. These will later become the main source of their strength. However, to harness these traits, players will have to act accordingly. Becoming an alcoholic, for example, will mean that the gamer will be rewarded for getting drunk, but at the same time, from that point on being sober might prove unbearable.

SOULBLIGHT’S MAIN FEATURES:

  • A unique Taint System designed to encourage role playing.
  • Tons of weapons, armor, and utility items.
  • Dynamic and tactical combat build around stamina management and distance control.
  • Optional stealth approach that complements fighting.
  • Randomly generated, visually breathtaking levels.
  • High difficulty level emphasized by permadeath mechanics.
  • Gameplay-driven narrative.

The first ever hands-on PC demo of the game will take place during PAX West this year, where you’ll be able to meet the developers in booth 2623 in the Main Hall. If you’d like to set up a meeting, please send an e-mail to Agnieszka Szóstak at [email protected] with the following information:

  1. The date and time you’d like to meet – check available slots HERE.
  2. The media outlet you’ll be representing.
  3. How many people will be coming to the meeting.
  4. The full name, e-mail address, and phone number of each person.

We’ll only use your contact details to send you the booking confirmation or to contact you if there are last minute appointment changes.

GAMBITIOUS DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT TO PUBLISH OUTREACH, PIXEL SPILL’S ZERO-GRAVITY NARRATIVE ADVENTURE GAME

GAMBITIOUS DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT TO PUBLISH OUTREACHPIXEL SPILL’S ZERO-GRAVITY NARRATIVE ADVENTURE GAME

Explore a Cold War mystery in space on Windows PC and Mac in 2017

AMSTERDAM – Aug. 4, 2016 – Gambitious Digital Entertainment has announced it is partnering with independent developer Pixel Spill to release the upcoming narrative adventure game Outreach.

Set in the 1980s near the fall of the Cold War, Outreach sends players into the unforgiving grips of Earth’s orbit as a lone cosmonaut to investigate the disappearance of the crew of a covert Soviet military space station. They’ll have to explore this crippled and seemingly abandoned installation, uncovering the secrets behind the lives and fates of those surrounding it along the way.

Outreach challenges players to use their coordination and reflexes to explore a realistic zero-gravity world both inside and outside of the station. Surfaces can be pushed off of using the main character’s hands and feet for propulsion, and handrails can be grabbed to keep from flying off into the unending depths of space.

Blurring fact and fiction, Outreach’s story draws inspiration from both the history and conspiracy theories of the Cold War and Space Race. Environments, technology and objects have been recreated with meticulous detail to their real-world designs. The game also features the voice talent of Adam Harrington, known for his role as Bigby Wolf in The Wolf Among Us, and Vine performer Matthew Post.

Outreach is expected to launch in 2017 on Windows PC and Mac. For more information as it develops, please visit http://outreachgame.co.uk, or visit the game’s Steam page http://store.steampowered.com/app/501680

Immersive Career Mode stars in new F1™ 2016 trailer Multiplayer Championship announced

Immersive Career Mode stars in new F1 2016 trailer Multiplayer Championship announced 

Larkspur, Calif – August 4, 2016 – F1 2016, the official videogame of the 2016 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, has the most immersive Career Mode ever seen in the franchise. Today Codemasters® and Deep Silver have released a new gameplay video that highlights many of the key features in the extensive and enthralling ten-year Career. It is available to view now on the official YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/formula1game.

It was also announced today that F1 2016 will feature Multiplayer Championship, a brand new game mode that allows up to 22 players to compete against each other over the course of a season. The new mode allows players to race as team mates or to battle it out as different teams as well as offering great possibilities for league play.

In F1 2016’s Career Mode, players select their character, helmet and race number that will stay with them throughout their time in FORMULA ONE™. They then select which of the 11 official teams they wish to join to start their journey, as well as which member of the team will be their team-mate, before taking to the track for the first race of the season. The higher ranked teams will have steeper expectations for the player.

The in-race experience has never been more immersive. Players will experience the tension of the Formation Lap as they weave to warm their tires, before facing the drama of the manual race start, where they have to balance their revs and release the clutch at the right time. Get this wrong and players could jump the start and face a penalty or fail to get away from the line as the anti-stall kicks in.

Race strategy is also vital as players battle their rivals. For Pit Stops they can choose to have control of the Pit Lane entry, meaning they have to brake at the right time to avoid losing too much time but also to avoid speeding in the Pit lane. Strategy will be key, especially under Safety Car and Virtual Safety Car conditions.

The action continues off the track and into the Paddock and Hospitality areas. Over the course of the Career, players can decide how they want to upgrade their car by consulting with the Research and Development Engineer on areas for improvement, and by completing tasks during Practice sessions. They can either upgrade their team over a number of seasons to make it into a title challenger or they can negotiate with their Agent to move between teams to work their way up the grid.

Releasing August 19th for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC, F1 2016 features all the official teams, drivers and circuits from the 2016 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. This includes the thrilling new street circuit in Baku and the Haas F1 team. F1 2016 Limited Edition includes the ‘CAREER BOOSTER’ DLC PACK, which will give players a head start in their career as well as exclusive Career Helmet and Laptop designs.

Follow Codemasters F1 games blog and social channels on Twitter and Facebook for future updates. Further details will be released on the upcoming game soon.
