“When we think of our farms, we think of lives well spent”, a seasoned farmer tells viewers in the Launch Trailer of Farming Simulator 25. Now available on PC and consoles, publisher and developer GIANTS Software invites returning and aspiring virtual agriculturists to ignite their passion for the wholesome and rewarding life in the countryside.

“This Farm is Your Farm”

“For experienced farmers, the game marks the next step in playfully living their passion”, says Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software. “For everyone else, it’s a relaxing, immersive, and community-oriented opportunity to grow a new hobby, cultivate exciting knowledge, and ultimately harvest the rewarding feeling of freedom and accomplishment.”

Easy First Steps on Fields

With more variety, opportunities, and challenges, Farming Simulator 25 allows players to experiment, learn and grow. Increased accessibility through improved user interfaces, information, and tutoring non-player characters make the family-friendly series even more welcoming for beginners. The new GPS-based steering assistant as well as reworked and improved AI-workers allow additional help and automation on busy fields.
 
Farming Means Business

Whether focusing on arable farming, animal husbandry, or forestry, the dream of farming can be achieved with a small farm and a few lovely farm shops to sell goods, or by growing it into an empire: With production chains, factories, construction projects, and even community monuments like temple grounds or a grain elevator museum, providing long-term goals and endless activities for the farmer’s ambitions.

With three environments in North America, Europe, and East Asia, 25 field crops, plus many greenhouse crops and trees, and several types of animals, each farmer can choose their starting point – single-handedly or in co-op multiplayer. Machine enthusiasts enjoy over 400 authentic machines from over 150 international top brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Valtra. Other new features include ground deformation, weather events, and general improvements of graphics and physics.

Farming Simulator 25 is available now for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S at all major retailers. Visit the official Farming Simulator website.

Players can try out Monster Mop Up and Kaya’s Prophecy on November 18

Bristol,  United Kingdom — November 18, 2024 | After this year’s success with The Holy Gosh Darn and Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, Yogscast Games is thrilled to announce that two new titles will be available to playtest towards the end of this month. Jérémie & Thibaut’s tribal deck-and-village-builder, Kaya’s Prophecy, joins Terahard’s creature-collecting cleaning sim Monster Mop Up in this opportunity for an early look at the publisher’s upcoming titles. Players are invited to head over to Monster Mop Up and Kaya’s Prophecy’s respective store pages and hit ‘Request access’ to try them out for themselves.

For those who have dreamed of appeasing a power-hungry leader while building their own tribe, then Kaya’s Prophecy is the answer to their twisted prayers. For the first time, players can have a go at hunting, gathering and building day and night – to the catchy beat of the tam tams – as they fight for the survival of their village. Protect the townsfolk from foes with a carefully crafted deck, and keep them out of the cruel hands of the village master. Players must exercise caution – if they fail, your poor townsfolk may end up poisoned, electrocuted, or even turned upside down! 

Unlike these fearsome tribal attackers, the creatures encountered in Monster Mop Up are incredibly cute – though messy. As Custodian of the Ministry of Monster Concealment, it’s up to players to keep the rowdy Ragamuffins away from the human world. Rescue the adorable little rascals and mop up any trace of them – yes, that includes their poop. In fact, especially their poop. Plus, for the first time, players can flush with friends thanks to Monster Mop Up’s multiplayer mode.

Both titles will open their doors to playtesters on Steam on November 18, with press invited to preview the games from today (November 12). Whether you prefer protecting men or monsters, try your hand at these two exciting new titles from Yogscast Games and their respective indie developers, Jérémie & Thibaut and Terahard.

Net Yaroze Games Join Antstream Arcade: Reviving Retro Gaming Innovation

London, UK – 12th November 2024 – Antstream Arcade, the world’s largest retro game streaming platform, is excited to announce the addition of classic Net Yaroze games to its ever-growing library of timeless titles coming November 12th, 2024.

Net Yaroze was a groundbreaking initiative launched by Sony in 1997, offering aspiring game developers the tools to create and share their own games on the PlayStation. Unlike expensive and complex development kits, Net Yaroze provided an affordable, user-friendly entry point, giving hobbyists and bedroom coders the chance to experiment with game design. For a nominal fee, users received a black PlayStation console, special software, and access to a supportive developer community, with technical guidance from Sony. This initiative marked a significant step in democratising game development, laying the foundation for the indie game movement that thrives today.

Beyond the technical resources, Net Yaroze fostered a vibrant community of creators who collaborated and shared their work through online forums. While commercial release wasn’t possible, many unique and inventive games were born from the platform, some of which were featured on demo discs and gaming magazines. However, many of these titles are now considered “lost media,” as few copies or records of the games exist today. 

A generation of developers got their start with Net Yaroze, with many going on to have successful careers in the gaming industry. It was a proving ground for creativity, showing how passion and ingenuity could overcome limited resources. Net Yaroze’s legacy endures, and by bringing some of the iconic titles from the past to Antstream Arcade, we’re giving players access to the pioneering spirit of independent gaming that defined the Net Yaroze era.

The collection includes standout titles like Time Slip, a puzzle-platformer with a unique time-manipulation mechanic. The game challenged players to navigate complex levels by creating clones of their character and rewinding time to solve puzzles. Despite its creativity and innovative gameplay, with few copies or playable versions available, it is a rare gem in the history of indie game development.

For those who enjoy puzzle-solving, Pushy IIb delivers addictive gameplay as players push crates and blocks to clear paths and reach the goal. Although it did not see commercial release, its lasting appeal lies in the way it bridged cultural and technical boundaries which made it particularly popular in Japan. 

Bouncer 2 took a different take on brick-breaker style games. With a quirky and challenging action theme, players controlled a spring-like character tasked with navigating through levels by bouncing around and through obstacles and enemies.  Its simple premise was enhanced by difficult physics-based challenges, making it both rewarding and frustrating for players.

Adventure Game brings a charming, exploration-based experience reminiscent of classic RPGs. Players navigate through dungeons, solve puzzles, and fight monsters, capturing the spirit of 90s adventure gaming with its retro aesthetic and challenging design.

In an early take on isometric mech combat, and written in just four months by its indie creator, Arena was a fast-paced, multiplayer-focused game. Its intensity and focus on player-versus-player combat made it a standout title for the program. It pitted players against each other in a top-down combat arena where quick reflexes and strategic use of weapons were key to victory.

Antstream Arcade’s CEO, Steve Cottam, said: “We’re thrilled to preserve and celebrate the spirit of innovation that Net Yaroze games represent. These titles, created by passionate developers from around the world, offer a fascinating insight into the early indie gaming movement. We will continue working with these fantastic creators and developers to continue to bring new titles to the Antstream platform.”

With the addition of Net Yaroze titles, Antstream users can experience a new layer of retro gaming history, alongside thousands of arcade and console classics. The platform continues to build the largest, most diverse collection of retro games available for streaming.

Antstream Arcade is available from 32.99*, giving the player unrestricted access to all 1300+ games and all tournaments, challenges and more for an entire year. For a limited time, players can also purchase the lifetime subscription for a one-off payment from 72.99*. (*Local currencies & platforms apply.)

Antstream Arcade is the world’s largest officially licensed retro game platform, featuring more than 1300 games available to stream. The extensive and impressive catalogue includes titles from the early systems like the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64, to Arcade classics and games from SNES, Megadrive, and PlayStation One, and even features newly developed arcade games. Tournaments and challenges mean that these classic games can be played in new ways, allowing players to compete with the active community. With the gaming service accessible on a multitude of devices, including PC, mobile, Xbox, PlayStation and more, Antstream ensures you can enjoy gaming anytime, anywhere!

The smell of fungus will cause fear and gnashing of teeth in the distant future…

Madrid, Spain – 12 November 2024. Meridiem is pleased to announce that Smells Like a Mushroom – 100% Vegan Edition, the hilarious third-person shooter/platformer developed by Red Limb Studio and digitally published by Fatal Error and Destructive Creations, is now available for PlayStation 5 as a special physical edition.

The intelligence of these ancient organisms far exceeds that of all living things in the universe. Their goals are simple: extermination, infection and reproduction – a fungal massacre! Only the plants that inhabit the Earth after the extinction of human civilization are capable of fighting them!

Will they succeed? Even the president of the United Plates, A. Lincorn, couldn’t tell. The truth is that “Smells Like a Mushroom” is an utterly absurd adventure for shooter and platformer fans.

The fun of the game is not only provided by shooting these creatures, but also by hilarious dialogues, a unique electronic soundtrack and a plot full of symbols of “human” pop culture.
