Kermdinger Studios to Unveil Boondogl This August

First Platform Agnostic Video Games Marketplace to Offer Games Without Downloads or Plugins 

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – July 7, 2015 – Video Game development startup Kermdinger Studios, Inc., announced today that Boondogl, the first platform agnostic video games marketplace, will be available starting this August. Using native web technology, Boondogl is a web-driven storefront that allows gamers to buy and play their favorite high quality games on any device without the need for downloads or plugins. After launching this August on PC and Mac, Boondogl will arrive on mobile and console via the Boondogl app by next spring.

Powered by native web technology such as HTML5, Javascript and WebGL, Boondogl will work on virtually any device to allow cross-platform play of popular console, computer and mobile games.

Additionally, Boondogl provides developers an easy solution to bringing their titles to the multitude of available platforms by converting titles only once into native web technology in order to be playable on any device.

AR-K: The Great Escape To Launch July 14

Upcoming chapter by Greg Rucka unveils the mystery of Alicia’s Golden Sphere

La Coruña, Spain–June 7, 2015--Gato Salvaje Studio, a Spanish indie developer dedicated to crafting engaging adventure games, announced today that the third chapter of

AR-K  will launch Tuesday, July 14 on Steam. The witty 3D point-and-click adventure, penned by critically acclaimed comic book writer Greg Rucka, follows the adventures of Alicia, a former cop and current journalism student, as she investigates the origin of the strange Golden Sphere that has turned her life upside down.

A brand-new trailer teasing the dramatic final chapter has also been released, and can be viewed on the game’s Steam page at http://store.steampowered.com/app/368890/

AR-K is a classical point and click adventure with an updated twist. Alicia Van Volish is a former cop and current journalism student who awakens after a one-night stand with a terrible hangover and a lot of questions: How much did she drink? Did she really take that guy home with her? What was his name? And what, exactly, is the Golden Sphere, the mysterious object that seems the source of all Alicia’s woes?

While Episode 3 may be enjoyed on its own without having experienced the previous chapters, players can get caught up on Alicia’s story in the first two installments on PC, iOS or Android at http://gatosalvajestudio.com/ Development of AR-K was made possible via a highly successfully crowdfunding effort on Kickstarter, which raised over $100,000 for the project.

Alicia is brought to life through the voice talents of Ash Sroka, widely known for her role as Tali Zorah in the Mass Effect Trilogy. Episode 3 and the upcoming final installment of AR-K are written by Greg Rucka, known for his work on such comics as Action Comics, Batwoman, Detective Comics, Wolverine and the miniseries Superman: World of New Krypton. Greg’s ability to write smart female characters makes him the perfect candidate to convey Alicia’s caustic wit and edginess.
