Disco Elysium Creators Robert Kurvitz, Aleksander Rostov, and Helen Hindpere Praise Development Journey of Upcoming Title

Nicosia, Cyprus | Recently, publisher Owlcat Games, together with Emotion Spark Studio – the indie developer behind the narrative RPG Rue Valley – shared insights into the game’s development on the Human Can Opener Podcast. Praised by Disco Elysium creators Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov, Rue Valley is set to launch later this year, with a demo available now on Steam.

Starting development in 2020 with a team of four, Rue Valley draws inspiration from titles like Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium. The game features time-loop mechanics, where time progresses only through player interaction, and NPCs have their own unique worldviews that breathe life into the game. The personality system allows players to shape their character’s traits, ensuring each playthrough is unique.

The game’s hand-drawn art style, inspired by stop-motion and the “Spider-Verse” films, combines semi-3D visuals with comic-book aesthetics. Years of experimentation went into perfecting the lighting, textures, and animations.

A pivotal moment in development came when Disco Elysium creators Robert Kurvitz, Aleksander Rostov, and Helen Hindpere visited Belgrade and played the Rue Valley demo. Their insights not only validated the team’s creative vision but also provided invaluable feedback that helped refine its core elements.

Kurvitz, renowned for his groundbreaking work in Disco Elysium and his novel Sacred and Terrible Air, was immediately drawn to the game’s isometric art style and dialogue system. At one particularly challenging moment in gameplay, his genuine excitement upon overcoming it electrified the Emotion Spark team, reinforcing their belief in the game’s depth and engagement.

Hindpere, playing the demo separately, described Rue Valley as both familiar and refreshingly original. She recognized similarities in storytelling tools and dialogue mechanics but emphasized that the game carves its own path.

Rostov, the visionary art director of Disco Elysium, delved into the visual identity of Rue Valley. During a follow-up visit to the studio, he engaged in an in-depth discussion about the art style, even suggesting thoughtful improvements like adding character shadows casting on themselves, which left a lasting impression on the team.

Their feedback served as both encouragement and inspiration, reaffirming Rue Valley’s potential as a bold and emotionally complex narrative RPG.

Marko Smiljanic, Creative Director at Emotion Spark, described the experience as surreal. He mentioned that meeting the creators of Disco Elysium—a game that heavily inspired Rue Valley—was both humbling and motivating. Hearing their feedback and seeing them enjoy the game was a dream come true for the team.

For players eager to experience Rue Valley, a free demo version is now available on Steam. The demo offers a glimpse into the game’s unique mechanics, art style, and narrative depth, allowing players to explore the world and systems that have already captivated industry veterans.

About Rue Valley

Rue Valley is a deeply personal narrative game about a man’s journey of self-discovery and resilience on his quest to break free from a mysterious time loop. Each day feels like an uphill battle against the shadows of your own mind. Along the way, you will encounter a captivating ensemble of characters, each wrestling with their own emotional complexities and revealing hidden depths as you get to know them.

Memories are stored in a graph, unlocking intentions and mindsets as you progress uniquely through the story. Commit to quirky mindsets for unexpected and hilarious dialogues, and experience personality-altering Status Effects: become more outgoing when drunk, or extra sensitive when anxious.

Key features of Rue Valley:

• Personality system: Craft your own personality in Rue Valley. You can be a cold-hearted loner who overthinks everything or a melodramatic loudmouth who always trusts their gut instinct. 
• Store Your Memories: Important memories are stored in a graph, unlocking unique interactions around the Rue Valley Motel and new mindsets to help build out the main character. 
• Uncover the Secrets of Rue Valley: An anomaly has trapped the area around the Rue Valley Motel in a time loop. Experiment with the main character’s actions each day until you have enough evidence to solve the mystery. 
• 2D Parallax Art Style: Rue Valley has an instantly recognizable, visually appealing comic book aesthetic inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Rue Valley’s free demo is available now on Windows PC via Steam. Wishlist the game so you don’t miss its release.

Sugardew Island is an intentionally uncomplicated, cozy farm shop sim, crafted by a tiny indie dev team. We developed Sugardew Island so you can unwind, relax, and enjoy your beloved genre.

This includes three full campaigns modes, including the new Brutal difficulty, as well as tons of fun special missions.

During Next Fest and the January Demo Week, we saw tens of thousands of visitors to the Trolls site on Steam. We have seen a lot of solid feedback over the new Reborn gameplay. Media, content creators and many Steam curators have already shared their sagely insights, including these quotes:

• “A great balance between challenge and fun.” – Gurus Playing

• “The humor is top-notch. The trolls and Vikings have so much personality, and the animations bring them to life in the best way possible.” – Just my Reviews

“Finally, the day is here. The day when we finally unleash Trolls vs Vikings as a premium experience.  The entire game is a tribute to our Norse heritage, our wild mythology and not the least the weird humour within it. As Norwegians, we grow up with tales of trolls, fierce Viking warriors, strange gods and epic battles. That we get to bring that to the world in our very own way is a dream that keeps on giving. Now we can’t wait for players to dive in and experience that chaos.” Jørgen Tharaldsen, Game Director, Trolls Reborn.

But we’ve learned from our mischief-laden past and revamped the shard system to deliver pure, sweat-and-tears gameplay progression. Fair and balanced, like a troll on a tightrope.
• Revamped Spell Mechanics: Now you can sling spells with a sense of strategic satisfaction and a smirk that says, “Take that, Thor.”
• Enhanced Visuals: Witness trolls in their high-definition glory as they charge headfirst into the fray, with all the detail and clarity of a blockbuster movie (minus the popcorn).
• Remastered Soundtrack: Groove to the epic new “Trolls Forever” theme by Aleksandar Dimitrijević, featuring real troll and gnome musicians. (Yes, we’ve gone full method.) We even remastered the old music, because, we want it to sound as awesome as it can!
• Revitalized Viking Art and Animations: We shifted out all our Viking models with all new looks. Not only that, our award-winning animator have infused the Vikings with so much personality, you’ll almost feel bad stomping them. Almost.
• Steam Achievements: Bragging rights? Absolutely. Earn achievements that show your strategic genius—or your sheer stubbornness
• Double the speed, double the madness – For those who like to live life in the fast-lane, the entire game can now be played on double speed. You feel a sense of control? Well, think again!
• Pure Gameplay Experience: This is a return to premium tower defense form, where you enjoy uninterrupted, pure strategy bliss. You are always in control of moment-to-moment decisions, units, upgrades and tactics.

And yes, the legendary endless Valhalla levels are back, ready to put even the toughest tacticians to the test. Brace yourself for challenges so maddening that they’ll leave you gripping your mouse, eyes wide, shouting, “Who needs sleep, anyway?!” and muttering, “Just… one… more… round…” as dawn breaks through your window.

Sydney, Australia (March 7, 2025) – Milestone, a leading global racing game developer and publisher based in Milan, and Feld Motor Sports, Inc.,the worldwide leader inspecialised arena and stadium-based motorsports entertainment, released today a new trailer for Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game which offers a behind the scene look at some of the most anticipated features of the franchise’s newest instalment.

Overhauling the series from its basis, Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Gamewill feature all the official contents of the 2025 Championship season and for the first time, allow players to race the tracks of the current season even before the real riders. Besides featuring the thrills of the ongoing championship, brand-new riding physics will deeply change the gameplay experience for both veterans and newcomers. Players will find significant changes in the overall handling due to a reworked bike balance system, which places greater emphasis on the riders’ weight. On the ground, this will have a huge impact both in the whoops and the fastest sections of the tracks, where fans will need to properly manage the riders’ body to counterbalance the bike movement, and in the most technical parts, granting players greater control over the cornering phase. In addition, the steering angle, traction, and tire-to-ground contact phase have all been revised to provide a more realistic and immersive feeling. Similarly, a renewed stick control system will give players full control of the in-air motion, allowing them to decide how to manage both the riders’ and bikes’ weights after the jump. In this way, performing whips and scrubs will be much more rewarding, and those who master these movements will gain an even greater advantage.

Importantly, the adoption of Unreal Engine 5 has allowed the Milanese team to introduce a dynamic terrain deformation system with evolving ruts, one of the most requested features by the community.For the first time, the track will come to life and will evolve as the race progresses, thus challenging players to adapt their riding to find the best trajectories lap after lap. The new game engine has also enabled the implementation of a Neural AI system which will completely change the way rivals behave during a race, a first in the franchise history. The AI-controlled riders will in fact adjust their tactics and lines on the fly, providing an unpredictable and ever-changing gaming experience.

Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC as of April 10, 2025,with Early Access available from April 7, 2025.

Games Done Quick’s women and femmes winter event is raising funds for the National Women’s Law Center 

March 6, 2025 — Games Done Quick’s women and femmes winter speedrunning event, Frost Fatales, returns March 9-16 on Twitch. Organized by GDQ’s Frame Fatales, a speedrunning community of women and femmes, this online event brings together speedrunners from all over the world to showcase their skills and raise money for the National Women’s Law Center, a non-profit that fights for gender justice working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.

Some of Frost Fatales’ biggest highlights this year include:

• A “girl squad” 3-way race of Final Fantasy X-2 using all female characters
• Sonic X Shadow Generations as a bonus game
• A one-handed Celeste Any% closing run

Those are just a taste of what viewers can expect during the event, as well as plenty more runs of contemporary and retro games alike, like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, House Flipper 2, Mega Man, and The Legend of Zelda. The complete Frost Fatales schedule can be found here.

Frame Fatales events have raised over $1 million for charity since 2019. Last year’s Frost Fatales marathon raised $155,000 for the National Women’s Law Center. This past January, GDQ raised over $2.5 million during Awesome Games Done Quick for Prevent Cancer Foundation.
