Grimlands Making Of Video Released

Grimlands-makingofvideo
Despite positive feedback on the last two Beta tests, a strategy-shift from development to distribution has led Gamigo to cancel Grimlands. Following strong fan-support, the development team aims to finance the remaining work by turning to the community on Kickstarter.

On the third day of its Kickstarter campaign Drago Entertainment is allowing players an in-depth look into the making and technical aspects of the Shooter MMORPG. The Making Of video explains the RPG elements such as the flexible character development, the crafting and equipping of gear as well as the clan system and its territory wars. Based on Fan Feedback the first update further details contents of Premium Accounts as well as the difference between Grimlands Free to Play and Subscription Servers.

In development at Polish studio Drago for over five years, Grimlands is an innovative mix of MMORPG and First- or Third Person Shooter. Thousands of players explore a huge open world that was laid in ruins by earthquakes and face the daily challenges of this deadly environment: Scarce resources fuel the PVE and PVP fights and force players to craft every item by themselves. Without level- or point-restrictions, players create their individual avatar just by playing in their favourite style and learning skills by using them. Clans fight over key locations in the game world using armed vehicles for support. Choosing if they want to be a lone wolf or trade and band together with other players is just one of the many parts of the sandbox-style gameplay.

Mars War Logs New Screenshots include Devotion Chase

Another month another round of screenshots for Mars War Logs and while there is the usual collection of Roy Temperance showing off why he’s the main character, there is a little bit more this time. This time we also get to a look at Devotion Chase.

Right hand woman to General Honour Grant of the armies of Aurora, Devotion has her sights set on Roy as she seeks him out amongst the working class of the city. How big a roll she’ll play and what she wants from Roy has yet to be revealed, but she probably didn’t get to where she is by letting important people like Roy slip through her fingers or pointy hand blade.

Players can view the full size screenshots to see Devotion and the other shots by clicking on the images in the gallery below. Mars War Logs is currently set to release for PC in May, with XBLA and PSN coming Q3 this year.

eJay Pure is making its debut on Kickstarter to bring music making software to iOS and Android devices. In hopes of supporting the video game industry, Wired Productions has set aside an 8-Bit Chiptune sample pack on the eJay Kickstarter page to give independent developers a feel what eJay Pure is all about. Here is a quick word from Leo Zullo – Wired Productions Managing Director:

eJay Pure will bring the complete eJay experience to everyone, no matter what their musical taste. Coming from a gaming background, we’re particularly excited about the 8bit selection, which will enable eJayers to create new, original soundtracks with a very retro feel. The beauty of any composition made within eJay Pure is that it will be 100% royalty free – which will help any small or medium sized developer.

100% royalty free? I think you have garnered my attention Mr. Zullo! Taking this PC software mobile could make creations on the fly very real experiences. Perhaps you became inspired by listening to music in a restaurant or ambient sounds from a walk through a park. Whip out your tablet while having such inspirations fresh in mind.

To support eJay Pure or to find the sample 8-Bit playlist, go to the eJay Kickstarter (here). Also you can discover what eJay Pure is all about in their promotional video below.

Green-Lantern-Injustice-01

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have today released an all-new trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us focused on Green Lantern’s personal struggles during the rise of the Regime.

Set for release in Australia on the 17th of this month, Injustice: Gods Among Us‘ story mode promises to shake the foundations of the DC Universe and create the ultimate confrontation. Spearheading this war are the leaders of the opposing factions – Batman (The Insurgency) and Superman (The Regime).

Unfortunately for Hal Jordan, he comes face-to-face with the ultimate foe. A sworn intergalactic defender of the innocent, within the story of Injustice: Gods Among Us, Hal Jordan is forced to clash with a carbon copy of himself…one powered by the yellow light of fear. He states in the trailer; “My oath says that no evil shall escape my sight. So what happens when that evil is me?”

Check out the baffling trailer below. We have our copy of the game, so you can expect our review in the coming days. Stay tuned.
