Open World Survival, Horror Game P.A.M.E.L.A.™ is Greenlit on Steam Greenlight

Open World Survival, Horror Game P.A.M.E.L.A.™ is Greenlit on Steam Greenlight

After reaching the #1 spot on Greenlight in 48 hours, P.A.M.E.L.A.™ is Greenlit and Scheduled for Launch on Steam for Windows PC in 2016

Mississauga, Canada – October 2nd, 2015 – Indie micro development team NVYVE® Studios, today announced that P.A.M.E.L.A. its open world utopian sci-fi survival horror FPS that is scheduled for release on Windows PC in 2016 has been Greenlit on Steam Greenlight. In P.A.M.E.L.A. players survive against all odds whilst wielding unconventional technology as they explore Eden, an unforgiving paradise that explores the  unforeseen consequences of humanity’s craving for technological and biological advancement. 

“We have been blown away by the response of the Steam community to our Greenlight campaign”, said Marvin Maalouf, President and CEO of NVYVE® Studios. “After only 48 hours after our launch, P.A.M.E.L.A. was the #1 ranked game on Steam Greenlight and we are incredibly proud to be Greenlit by Steam after 10 days”. 

P.A.M.E.L.A.™ begins as a Sleeper is awoken from cryosleep in Eden, a fallen utopia wrought with death and danger. As a Sleeper, the player will struggle to survive alongside Pamela as they explore the once vibrant utopian city. Uncover the tragic events that lead to the downfall of a civilization, and fight for your life as the broken citizens of Eden defend their home against your intrusion. With a personality-driven AI system, no encounter will be the same as the Afflicted react in unpredictable ways, driven by their excruciating pain and disfiguring disease. Interact with various factions, including the Afflicted citizens, security droids, robotic custodians, and more. Each faction has its own unique behaviors and alliances, and will react dynamically to the player’s behavior to become allies, or enemies. 

Experience tense gameplay in a richly developed, believable sci-fi universe. Each decision is meaningful, and each encounter could be your last. Wield and customize an array of modular equipment to defend yourself and explore the environment. Utilize an immersive UI that incorporates full body awareness, where the player’s involvement in the world is never broken. Manage the power reserves of the city, using energy only when necessary to avoid the dangers of being stuck in the dark. Upgrade your weaponry, and construct a safe haven to defend against the denizens of Eden. Enhancing your body with Bio-Augmentations will give you an advantage over your enemies, but at what cost? Every decision has consequences in Eden. 

Can you survive the future?

YO-KAI WATCH TO LAUNCH DECEMBER 5 IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

YO-KAI WATCH TO LAUNCH DECEMBER 5 IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

The Japanese Phenomenon Prepares to Take the World by Storm

October 2, 2015 – Yo-kai Watch is a multi-billion dollar franchise and cultural sensation in Japan, and from December 5, Australia and New Zealand will get their chance to experience the excitement when the massively popular role-playing game YO-KAI WATCH™ launches for Nintendo 3DS. Based on an original concept from top Japanese entertainment company LEVEL-5, Inc., Nintendo Australia, Hasbro and Channel 9’s GO! channel have teamed up to bring the Japanese phenomenon to local shores.

But what is a Yo-kai anyway? Is it a spirit? A monster? A ghost? Nope – a Yo-kai is … well, it’s just a Yo-kai! You might not see them because they’re invisible, but they’re all around you every day. And they’re often mischievous, mysterious pranksters who like to make trouble for you. Lose your homework, can’t keep a secret or find yourself running late to everything? Yo-kai probably made you do it. The Yo-kai are based on common concerns kids have, and by confronting those concerns, kids can learn to overcome them.

When YO-KAI WATCH launches for Nintendo 3DS on December 5, you can explore the world using your Yo-kai Watch to discover more than 200 Yo-kai, then befriend them and turn them into a team to battle other Yo-kai. Each Yo-kai has its own unique skills and strengths, so you must use them to challenge troublemaking Yo-kai and help people in the game solve their daily problems. In Japan, the three YO-KAI WATCH 2 games accounted for three of the six best-selling console and hand-held games in Japan for 2014.

In December, Channel 9’s GO! channel will debut the animated comedy series YO-KAI WATCH. The show follows the hilarious misadventures of an average boy and his involvement with the mischievous Yo-kai all around him. Our young hero obtains a special watch, empowering him to discover and summon Yo-kai, befriend them and then work together to solve everyday problems … problems that are often caused by other troublemaking Yo-kai!

The fun continues in Q1 2016 when Hasbro will introduce innovative play experiences for the Yo-kai Watch franchise, with the line set to include toys centred around collectible medals, each representing a unique Yo-kai.

In Japan, the TV program has been the top-rated animated show on TV TOKYO for kids 4-12 years old. Within 18 months since launch, the franchise has sold more than USD $2 billion in retail merchandise, and more than 8 million units of Nintendo 3DS video games have been sold in Japan alone.

The cultural sensation comes to Australia and New Zealand when YO-KAI WATCH launches for Nintendo 3DS on December 5.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Overview Trailer Released

The-Legend-of-Zelda-Tri-Force- Heroes-promo-02

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is launching on the Nintendo 3DS on October 24 and as they usually do Nintendo have released a tidy overview trailer showing their fans all the cool things they can do in the game. Similar to Four Swords Adventure, this game has a huge teamwork aspect to it and will require players (or player if you prefer to work alone) to make use of Link and his two clones as you solve the many puzzles across the games world, collect new items and outfits and make your way through many dungeons to the end of this newest Zelda adventure.

The-Legend-of-Zelda-Tri-Force- Heroes-screenshot-04

Presented in the same top-down style as the well received The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, players will try to rescue the vain and fashion obsessed Kingdom of Hytopia, where an evil witch has placed a mysterious curse upon Princess Styla, making her appear bland and casting the realm into disarray. Players can work with two similarly heroic friends via online or local multiplayer, and cooperatively solve puzzles across the games many varied locations. In a more open minded move from Nintendo, inline play will allow you to play with randoms, communicating via predetermined messages and facial expressions. Teamwork will be crucial here, especially getting into the habit of forming a totem with the 3 Links which will allow you to reach new locations.

The-Legend-of-Zelda-Tri-Force- Heroes-screenshot-05

For those lone wolves out there,  you will be equipped with a pair of replica Link figures called “doppels” that come to life on command, allowing you to control each one in turn. However, with Download Play functionality, players can always link up with two other Nintendo 3DS system-owning friends to take on the action, even if they don’t have a copy of the game.

The-Legend-of-Zelda-Tri-Force- Heroes-screenshot-02

To fit the fashion-focused world of Hytopia, collecting in-game materials lets you order stylish outfits at Madame Couture’s shop for Link to wear, with each one giving special abilities such as the “Goron Garb” outfit that allows you to swim in lava or a “Zora Costume” that lets you swim with greater speed. There are 36 unique outfits to acquire all with different looks and abilities, and you will need a fair few of them to tackle the games 32 stages to the best of your abilities.

The-Legend-of-Zelda-Tri-Force- Heroes-screenshot-03

And of course as with all Nintendo games there is some cool Miiverse functionality. Players can receive a camera from the Photo Bro character managing the in-game Miiverse Gallery and snap away whilst out exploring the wilds of the Drablands. Players can then post these photos to Miiverse which will unlock Miiverse stamps of each outfit you can unlock in the game.

To see everything mentioned above in action be sure to check out the trailer below. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes comes out exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on October 24.
