When Wired Productions decided to take its new idea to the people, they lapped it up. The Kickstarter campaign for eJay Pure ended yesterday, with the goal of bringing back the classic PC music editor.

While they weren’t successful in raising the £150,000 they required the eJay team aren’t calling it quits. Over a third of the amount required was raised, displaying a strong interest in the product.

eJay emphasises smooth user interfaces while having tonnes of sound packs to accommodate whatever is popular with its users, from K-Pop samples to 8-bit chip tune.

All in all, the project has given Wired Productions a few successes. Online radio station www.ejaypure.com has been more popular than at first assumed and will continue to supported as Wired Productions looks for another avenue to market.

April 26, 2013

After releasing the trailer for the retail game for their new game universe, Deep Silver has finally put out a trailer for the arcade game due out this summer. Developed by Black Forest Games, Ride to Hell: Route 666 looks like an interesting title, focused not on the main character for Ride to Hell: Retribution, but instead an interesting combination of strategy and brawling, while riding a motorcycle.

If that combination sounds confusing to you, well you aren’t alone, but thankfully with the new trailer it is easier to understand just how the game will work. While gameplay is a little limited, instead focusing on the games art and action, there are a few telling snippets of what to expect. Seems the game will task players will figuring out the ideal formations and biker types to place, then put the plan into action and dish out tickets for the gun show, both kinds, as they set out to conquer Route 66.

Players can check out the trailer for Ride to Hell: Route 666 embedded below and see how it looks and the little bit of how it’ll play, to gear up for its release this summer for XBLA, PSN, and PC.

Kingnet Technology have announced their new title, Rift Hunter. The game combines the gameplay of 1990’s arcade beat em’ ups with the interactivity of MMOs. Rift Hunter’s cutting-edge mobile co-op mode promises to let users enjoy classic arcade style action with friends around the world.

Rift Hunter allows for a level of customization which would rival most RPGs. Players will initially have 4 classes to choose from and each class has its unique combat style and a massive skill tree; giving players the chance to design their own unique fighting style.

Furthermore, the game’s unique gear system gives players additional control of their stats, allowing them to build the perfect fighting machine. With over 200 unique, hand-drawn levels, Rift Hunter allows iOS gamers to enjoy simplistic controls, along with advanced game features, as they hunt strange creatures coming from mysterious portals, which are appearing across a once peaceful land.

Daniel Chiu, Product Manager at Kingnet Technology has stated:

“Rift Hunter has successfully bridged the gap between two parts of my life as a gamer. First, it reminds me of classic beat ‘em up like Golden Axe and Final Fight which I loved as a kid, but then it brings in the interactivity of a modern MMO, so I can play co-op or duel with my friends. This game really is made by gamers, for gamers!”

Rift Hunter will be available for free on iOS across the UK and in Germany this May, with additional territories soon to follow. The trailer can be found below.
