TOKYO — March 5, 2025 — Jelly Troops, the lightning-fast pick-up-and-play RTS for everyone developed by Nukenin Co., Ltd. and published by Phoenixx Inc and winner of Bandai Namco Studios’ 2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest), brings skirmishing slimes to the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2025. Go hands-on with the latest balance updates during this weekend’s playtest on PC via Steam beginning Thursday, March 6th at 5 PM PST. 

Resource management? Nope. Complex species with hyper-specific unit matchups? Negative. Complicated maps with one-off advantages? *Un-check*. Outsmarting the enemy by concocting satisfyingly slimy strategies in highly-replayable, rock-paper-scissors style battles? Yes, yes, and yes. Jell yeah! 

Jelly Troops whittles down complex RTS gameplay to its core elements. Outnumber, outwit, and outscore opponents by performing three basic tasks: grow a gelatinous army of slimes, redirect advancing enemies with clever wall placement, and capture flags to score. 

Move quick and think fast: each match can end in a flash if not careful. Go all-in on brute force, railroad enemies into traveling long distances to reach the flag, and sneak through fog-of-war for clandestine capture. Win three matches to be crowned the victor.

Join the Discord and predict the Jelly Troops Japan Championship winner before Saturday, March 8th at 7:00 PM PST for the chance to win a Steam gift card with 500 points (JPN). Enjoy guest appearances during the tournament from Jelly Troops developer waken, eSports commentator Shohei Taguchi, voice actress Yuu Sasahara, and streaming group Indie Life Streamers.

Dallas, TX — March 5, 2025 — Vexlands, the open-world crafting adventure developed by Emberheart Games and published by Apogee Entertainment, sows seeds for far-reaching frontiers with an updated demo, available now on Steam for PC. 

In the updated Vexlands demo, eager explorers can venture even further into an ever-expanding world with the addition of new skills, a second dungeon, procedurally generating biomes, fresh raw materials, new crafting techniques, and a helluva lot more. 

As humankind’s sole mysterious survivor, craft and build a home of your own, cleanse the polluted surrounding lands, and discover what happened to those who escaped the seeds of their own destruction. With each area you cleanse, discover new resources, collectibles, crafting abilities and places to explore. 

Collect and earn coins to purchase new parcels of land (1000’s in total!), each containing a gift or a curse. Hope for the best (like a fruitful bounty of building materials or food sources), but prepare for the worst (such as permanent enemy spawn points). Unleash Mother Nature’s wrath, triggering random weather events like lightning strikes and destructive meteor showers. Scavenge the aftermath of each catastrophe for rare gems and special resources like lightning-infused wood that can power up dormant structures with electricity.

Locate lumps of sand scattered across the Vexlands that can then be smelted into glass and turned into valuable items. Cast a reel into nearby bodies of water and set fish traps for a fresh source of food. Collect bugs buzzing throughout the land and display them in the Collector’s House, and procure eggs by taming wild chickens and rehoming them in Chicken Coops.

Boost resource gathering with the addition of the Helper’s Hut, complete with a handy Helper to aid in accumulating and storing items. Hone crafting abilities, strengthen attack power, raise resource-gathering rates, and increase odds of luck on an extensive skill tree. Merge gems together to increase their size and potency, or socket gems with rings for special stat boosts. 

Unlock a journal to keep track of new discoveries, including blueprints, recipes, quest logs, and an expansive bestiary. Make use of the handy Atomizer to effortlessly move previously built structures and decorations to optimal locations. Enjoy fresh character customization options, including new hairstyles, hats, and body types. Full controller support has been added, allowing adventurers to explore Vexlands with additional flexibility. 

“Vexlands’ new demo adds so many new features, yet only scratches the surface of what we have in store for the future,” said Scott Miller, CEO of Apogee. “It’s a classic in the making and truly a charming, immersive experience where time flies as you sink hours into it.” 

“We’ve been hard at work adding new features to Vexlands, and this updated demo is a huge step towards the Early Access launch,” said Primož Vovk, developer at Emberheart Games. “With so many new options for resource gathering, building, exploring, and dungeon crawling, we’re sure that Vexlands will entice players to stick around for hours and hours of procedurally generated fun.” 

Vexlands’ new demo is available now on Steam for PC. For more information, please connect with the official Emberheart Games website, as well as the legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment on their official website, Twitter, Discord, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Veteran Talent Behind Several Best-Selling Games Form New Women-Led Studio Focused on Creating Games with Broad Appeal – First Playable Demo at the IGDA’s Indie Media Connect During GDC

SEATTLE and LOS ANGELES: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2025 – New independent game studio Wicked Fox Games has launched a crowdfunding campaign for its inaugural game, Rise of Elements. The game is a narrative-rich, champion-led competitive RPG wrapped around a PvP elemental Match-3 puzzle mechanic. The Kickstarter campaign, which went live on Tuesday, offers backer rewards including exclusive skins, closed playtesting and early access, physical items and other perks depending on the support tier. The campaign runs March 4–April 3, 2025. 

Rise of Elements is the fully realized version of a prototype first created by Wicked Fox CEO Terry Redfield and another member of the current team nearly a decade ago. Rise of Elements players compete in Argos’ Tournament of Champions in a quest to achieve mastery of the elements and rid the world of Aetheron of the Void’s impending threat. It can be played competitively or more methodically through various single-player or multiplayer modes, including Timed, Moves, and Story modes, with the possibility of additional modes in the future.

Players select from a roster of diverse champions, each with their own set of moves, strengths and weaknesses, and special elemental abilities. The variety of champions, attributes, and play styles adds layers of tactical strategy to the elemental gem-based gameplay. Wicked Fox plans to lean into this aspect for future expansion, potentially releasing new champions and battle arenas, as well as collaborations. 

Currently, the game contains one such collaboration with the talented streamer and TV host Trisha Hershberger, who has teamed up with the studio to voice and create the champion Cordelia, the Enthusiastic Inventor. Another collaboration in the works is with streamer and voice actress Lily Ki, also known as LilyPichu, on future champion Emily, Queen of the Dead. Backers for Rise of Elements will be able to follow along on the development of these champions and more. “One of the studio’s primary focuses is to create diverse characters and relatable stories – often rooted in a culture’s mythology, that will resonate and be accessible to a broad range of players,” said Redfield. “We truly enjoy working with these creators and our community to further develop these distinctive and detailed characters.”

Rise of Elements is just the first title from Wicked Fox Games. Founded in 2024 by Redfield and CTO Caerie Houchins, the leadership team has held pivotal roles on numerous hit games, including VALORANT, Candy Crush, Dungeons and Dragons, League of Legends and Psychonauts. The studio has several other projects underway in various stages of design and pre-production and is actively seeking funding and/or strategic partnerships.

Slated for release in the second half of 2026, Rise of Elements is expected to launch as a premium PC (Steam) and web-based game, with plans to bring it to additional platforms.

Invite up to four friends to staff your shop, or embark on a solo quest to become the best potion maker in the realm!

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 05 March 2025 | Explore the art of potion-making today with the launch of Potion Shop Simulator! From indie studio Pebbles Games, this alchemy shopkeeping game is available now on Steam for a single player and co-op experience.

4 Person Co-Op

Your dreams of owning a potion shop have finally come true. After years of studying alchemy at Wizard U, you’re ready to put your expertise to use for the creatures of the realm. Roll up your sleeves and gather herbs from both near and far—you will need them! Prepare to serve a magical clientele of various shapes and sizes, including orcs, goblins, satyrs, and more. While managing your shop and catering to the townsfolk, invite your friends to help maintain a positive shop ranking and become the most popular shopkeeper in town!

An Introduction to Alchemy

No two potions are the same. Explore the far reaches of the realm to collect ingredients and bring them back to your shop to try new combinations. Dried herbs yield different results than fresh ones, and different combinations of ingredients produce different effects. As you discover new potions, the recipe will be saved in your notebook for future reference. Keep your shop supplied with your latest creations and prepare for weekly inspector visits; they will check that your shop meets the various needs of your customers. Stock up on potions to handle rush hours, doubling your sales. If you’re daring, consider haggling with a few customers for extra coins along the way. Most importantly, avoid leaving your shop unattended, as it could tarnish your reputation!

Explore the Lore

Your potion shop is positioned outside a lively town, so be sure to explore all the village has to offer! Lend a helping hand in side quests, where you’ll encounter quirky townsfolk and bizarre requests. Fulfill orders for night-vision elixirs and Goblin Gut Soothers to increase your reputation among the townsfolk. In addition to learning more about your clientele, uncover the secrets left behind by the former owner and his trusty assistant of your old, dusty potion shop that once sat empty. When you’re ready to return to work, spruce up your space with decorations to brighten your dwelling and carpentry additions to add onto your space. Don’t forget to stop at the alchemy shop, where you will spend most of your time expanding your collection of tools, such as new mortars, distillers, and cauldrons, to continue improving your potions!

Gameplay Features:

• A colorful medieval fantasy setting creates the perfect ambiance for potion-making, and an interactive world provides an immersive simulator experience.
• Co-op mode for up to four players lets your friends join in on the fun! Tour the village, take care of plants, and experiment with different brews alongside your fellow alchemists.
• The world is alive with dynamic events, featuring a day and night cycle that brings market days in town, a traveling merchant, market trends, royal commissions from the king, and more. Keep an eye on your calendar so you don’t miss a thing.
• Improve your reputation by making and selling potions, and generate income to upgrade your shop’s aesthetics and efficiency. You can purchase additional items at the markets, from the traveling salesman, or at small shops downtown.
• The discovery of new potions awaits, so experiment to progress through the game. The more you brew, the more you sell! So, get adventurous with your potion combinations.
• 30+ main and side quests complete with missions designed to uncover the secret tales of the town and its mystical villagers.
