Being ported over to the Xbox 360, Hello has decided to change some things up.

“I think we knew that Joe Danger was a hard game, but it could be frustrating,” Murray said. “I think we’ve really changed that, it’s a much more joyous game now, through like a thousand changes big and small.”

“New environments, gameplay modes, characters” and more will be included.

“I’m not sure it would be possible for someone to complete in under 30 hours now… the game is huge,” Murray stated.

Sanctum ‘The Old City’ Patch Announced

2

Coffee Stain Studio announced today the upcoming ‘The Old City’ patch. Lead Designer Oscar Jilsen explained that they were going to add on to the story and experience for all players. Sanctum’s Old City DLC is said to add in a new weapon and tower for players to access. Jilsen added. “Slums will bring players to the Old City, a place that we haven’t really had the opportunity to show just yet. Elsewhere, the rescue efforts are going deeper underground to escape the aliens because the roots the aliens originate from are incapable of going below a certain depth. All in all, we’re working on expanding on the universe and showing the real plot behind Sanctum.”

“I’m excited about the geeky technical stuff. We’ve finally sorted out [most of] the bugs,” said Lead Programmer Markus Rännare. “Sanctum now has localization support, client side hit detection to help reduce the feeling of lag, FOV setting support and cloud saves. We’re also introducing three new game modes to the game. The game is, quite literally, better than it ever was. “In addition to the new content, Coffee Stain Studios also announced that Steam will be hosting a Free Weekend for Sanctum from the November 3-6. During this period of time, players will be able to play for absolutely nothing.
