Welcome to another episode of CC Indie Spotlight with Senior Editor Jamie Laike Tsui where we demo the latest and greatest of indie gaming.

Today’s episode features Lune from six young developers from a French university specializing in interactive media. The game is a meditative adventure that the developers say is “about reflection and solitude.” Players will control both a hero and the moon to solve puzzles. The moon’s position in the sky affects the lights and shadows in the world while its distance affects the level of gravity.

Lune is currently available for free online at the official website. Check out our preview.

Last night during Sony’s E3 press conference Square Enix announced that they would be bringing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn to the PlayStation 4 as well and though no release date was given at the time, the company has now stated it will come out sometime in 2014.

Besides not narrowing the release window margin in the slightest, it was also announced that anyone who plays the PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn before the PS4 version comes out will be able to “smoothly transition” their accounts and characters over to the newer version of the game. Considering the PS3 and PC versions of the game come out on August 27th, this is great news for those looking to upgrade.

The Witcher 3, in development from CD Projekt Red, was recently mentioned in Microsoft’s E3 2013 event. It has already received some love in the form of its first developer diary video.

The developer diary features the faces of senior writer Borys Pugacz-Muraszkiewcz, gameplay producer Marek Ziemak, and environment artist Jonas Mattsson, each presenting some riveting reasons to look forward to the upcoming title.

Comments made in the video claim the game will be set in “turbulent times”, and in a “vast, wondrous open world.” Accompanied by gameplay footage, he also claims the world will be visually stunning, and that you’ll be able to do everything from climbing mountains and cliffs to sailing a boat through treacherous waters that threaten to crush you.

The boldest claim, though, is Borys’s claim that The Witcher 3 will be “an RPG fan’s dream come true.”

Be sure to check out our recent interview with some of the fine folks at CD Projekt Red. For more on The Witcher 3, be sure to check out the entire developer diary video below this article.

Yesterday Microsoft re-revealed Crimson Dragon at their E3 press conference after keeping the Xbox 360 Kinect game under wraps for so long that most people had forgotten about it and when they did so, it was now an Xbox One exclusive. At the time it wasn’t mentioned whether or not the game would still be a Kinect only title and now it has been discovered that it will no longer be a Kinect only game.

Instead the game will now allow players to use the controller to play it while the Kinect can still be used for gesture controls, but given the accuracy of the original Kinect, this will likely please many fans who have been looking forward to this game since it was called Project Draco.

At the time, no other information was given but today Telltale Games has come forward and given us a slew of new information about their hit Walking Dead video game series.

Today the company announced that they are working on a DLC add-on to the first season of the game called 400 Days. It will be a standalone episode that will bridge the gap for the second season and will cost $4.99 (400 MSP) or will be included in the aforementioned Vita bundle.
