12 Beast and Servamp licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment

12-beast-volume-1-coverFans of Okayado’s Monster Musume, or monster girls in general, will be happy to hear that Seven Seas Entertainment has picked up the license for his other, somewhat newer manga series, 12 Beast.

12 Beast follows the story of Eita Touga, a descendent from a ninja clan that enjoys playing video games more than training who is surprised to find a female harpy appear before him and bring him to a world full of humanoid monsters, including plenty of monster girls, that need his help against an imminent threat.

The first volume of 12 Beast is set to be released in April 2015 and it is worth noting that this series will be slower going compared to Monster Musume as a new chapter is generally released in Japan every two months compared to Monster Musume’s monthly release.

The company also announced that they have acquired Servamp, a manga by Tanaka Strike, that has currently reached six volumes in Japan and Seven Seas is planning on releasing the first volume in English on March 2015.

Broadcasting your RuneScape adventures to Twitch is now easier than ever. Jagex Games Studio announced that Twitch is now integrated into their MMORPG, RuneScape. The new feature allows RuneScape players to seamlessly broadcast directly to Twitch from within the game and without having to muck around with any external software.

It was a big update for Runescape, as the release of this cool feature came hand in hand with the launch of a new adventure and boss, the arachnid horror Araxxor. The new combat boss challenge was voted for by RuneScape’s community as part of the game’s Player Power initiative.

It also seems that RuneScape is not Jagex’s only game that will have the built-in Twitch feature. They are also working to have it in their up-coming game Transformers: Universe, which is still in it open beta stage.
