Celebrate Japan’s Tofu Day with the Winner of the First GYAAR Studio Indie Games Contest

TOKYO, Japan – 24 Sept 2024 –The Strongest TOFU, the ultimate condensed soy milk action platformer from developer Zounoashi Games and publisher Phoenixx, leaps onto PC via Steam on Japan’s Tofu Day, Wednesday, 2 Oct 2024. The Strongest TOFU will be exhibited from Thursday, Sept. 26 to Sunday, Sept. 29 at Tokyo Game Show in the Phoenixx/GYAAR Studio booth in Hall 9’s Indie Game Corner.

Choose between Momen (firm), Kinu (silken), and Koya (freeze-dried) tofu then withstand crumbling, frying pans, and breaking apart. Falling will cause tofu to break apart, but freeze-dried tofu is firmer, being able to withstand fall damage. Utilize unprecedented jiggle physics to fully encapsulate the feeling of tofu and jump into a hot bowl before the deliciousness expires.

Easy to learn but difficult to master with a simple control scheme consisting of a joystick and a single button, tofu must delicately maneuver through each map in order to remain intact.

Become fully immersed with an original soundtrack composed by Ryo Nagamatsu of RH Music. Ryo’s versatile sound gives every level its own distinct ambience, captivating audiences as they progress through each course. The full digital soundtrack will release alongside The Strongest TOFU.

Hattori-Graphics, one of Japan’s top 100 Graphic Designers of 2024, lends his unique lo-res stylings for The Strongest TOFU’s key art and logo. A simple and tasteful design perfectly encapsulating the art of tofu. 

Head developer TomozoP became a tofu master to deliver the most authentic experience possible. His command of the culinary arts helped The Strongest TOFU receive its first award through an Indie Game Contest held by GYAAR Studio (Bandai Namco Studio’s indie game label) in 2022.

Chart New Royal Paths in Roads to Power – Major Expansion for Crusader Kings III Available Today

STOCKHOLM – 24 September 2024 – Explore a richer and deeper medieval world in Roads to Power, the highly anticipated expansion of Crusader Kings III, Paradox Interactive’s best-selling strategy role-playing game about the Middle Ages. Travel a world of danger and opportunity as your character seeks wealth and adventure, or navigate the perilous waters of imperial politics – a setting where brute force often bows to diplomacy and intrigue.

Roads to Power is the newest Major Expansion of Crusader Kings III, focusing on two significant changes to the core game experience. First, Landless Adventurer characters start with a camp and a few followers but can gain great power and influence by offering their skills to neighboring rules. Second, the Administrative Government playstyle comes to the Byzantine Empire, in a more historically appropriate representation of the political system of one of the great Mediterranean powers. An associated comic book about the rise of Basil I, “Many Roads to Power”, was published in August, free for everyone to read and enjoy.

Features of Crusader Kings III: Roads to Power include:

• Administrative Government: Experience medieval rule outside of the feudal system with a new style of empire management. A web of Governors jockeys for position in the empire with intrigue and power, sometimes rewarding merit and sometimes rewarding perfidy. Only a truly skilled Emperor can keep these squabbling forces in line.
• The Family Estate: Run and manage a powerful Family Estate, the seat of your House’s power, even when you hold no other land. Construct new buildings and improvements to further your power and influence within an administrative empire.
• Influence System: Build up a character’s influence within an administrative empire to climb the rungs of bureaucracy. Raise your status in the realm and gather more power for yourself. Start as a landless noble on an estate, and compete for valuable provinces to govern before making your bid for the Purple.
• A Life of Adventure: Freely roam the map, untied to any realm or holding, going wherever the winds of fortune blow you. Fulfill contracts as a landless adventurer, even through the generations, building up a reputation of your own. Earn gold, prestige and fame travelling the globe until you decide to settle down and claim land you have earned through merit.
• Choose Successor or Caesar: Spend the influence you have gathered to determine the course of the Empire and get the successor you want, whether a royal family member, a powerful noble, a martial hero, or any other candidate you can rally the people behind. The Emperor can even opt to co-rule if the burden of the throne is too much for one person.
• New Byzantine Flavor Content: New events, monuments and activities built around the Byzantine theme, including chariot racing.
• Cosmetic Additions: A Byzantine-themed UI skin and new court fashions for your characters, new 2D event art, new on-map monuments of the Byzantine world, new on-map holding designs, and a Byzantine throne room for Royal Court sessions, among other aesthetic improvements. New music inspired by Orthodox holy chants is also included.

Crusader Kings III: Roads to Power is now available for the suggested retail price of $29.99/£24.99/€29.99. It is also available as part of Crusader Kings III: Chapter III – which includes the Core Expansion ‘Legends of the Dead’, the Major Expansion ‘Roads to Power’ and the Event Pack ‘Wandering Nobles’.

Oxford Internet Institute carried out the first of its kind study, to understand more about the short-term effects of playing video games.

Brighton, 25 September 2024 – FuturLab and Oxford Internet Institute, part of the University of Oxford, is excited to reveal the results of a new international study that shows positive mood changes during video game play – with data collected from players of PowerWash Simulator who opted to take part in the study via a research edition of the game.

The study looked at player data from 67,328 gaming sessions from 8,695 players in 39 countries, analysing their mood before and during gameplay. Across 162,325 in-game mood reports from players of PowerWash Simulator, the average player reported a more positive mood during play than at the start of each session. Researchers predict 72% of players experience this uplift in mood during the play session based on statistical modeling of player data.

About the study

The study analysed data from players in 39 countries, including the US, UK, Canada and Germany and found that PowerWash Simulator’s players’ moods rapidly increased during gameplay. Players consistently reported a higher mood after the first fifteen minutes of the play session compared to the start of each session.

The researchers collaborated with PowerWash Simulator’s developer, FuturLab, to develop a research edition of the game that recorded gameplay events, game status records, participant demographics and responses to psychological survey items. This latest analysis is based on a dataset the team previously published in the journal Scientific Data last year. 

Lead author Assistant Professor Matti Vuorre, Tilburg University and Research Associate, Oxford Internet Institute said: “At present short-term changes in video game players’ moods are poorly understood. Gameplay research frequently relies on artificial stimuli, with games created or modified by academic researchers, typically played in a lab environment rather than a natural context. Instead, we wanted to know how real play in natural contexts might predict player mood on short timescales.”

Commenting on the findings, second author Nick Ballou, Postdoctoral Researcher, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford said, “By investigating player experiences during natural play of a popular and commercially available game, we found strong evidence for a small positive change in mood over the course of a play session.  Our current study corroborates what qualitative research and reports from video game players around the world have long suggested: People feel good playing video games”. 

They also looked at differences in mood uplift between the population of similar PWS players. The Oxford team statistically modelled between-person differences in mood shifts in the population of PWS players. They found that nearly three-quarters of players (72.1%) were likely to experience an uplift in their mood during PowerWash Simulator play.

James Butlin, Lead Programmer at FuturLab Ltd said: “Working with the team at Oxford Internet Institute was incredibly insightful! They were very supportive throughout and actively engaged with our challenge of designing a user experience that could deliver the study questions with minimal impact on the gameplay.”

Unlike other studies in this field, the Oxford study is the first of its kind to examine changes in mood during play sessions in a minute-by-minute resolution. The research edition was nearly identical to the main game, with the addition of in-game pop-ups asking players to report their mood, delivered by a newly created character called ‘The Researchers’ making them part of the game lore, ensuring minimal disruption to the player experience.

Senior author Professor Andrew Przybylski, Oxford Internet Institute adds: “We believe our findings are most consistent with the notion that gaming – for most people – is a recovery activity that helps to manage day-to-day stresses and mood fluctuations, without necessarily having substantial long-term impacts.

“The fact that we studied only one game – and one that is not likely representative of today’s most commonly played games – suggests caution in generalizing from our findings to other games.  Future work should consider the use of randomised controlled trials to evaluate the effect of playing PowerWash Simulator or other games compared to other leisure activities or therapeutic interventions.

Ultimately better understanding the multiverse of play, including temporal patterns, social experiences, in-game behaviours and events, players’ personalities, its antecedents and consequences warrants continued research efforts coordinated across and beyond academia.”

The paper ‘Affective Uplift During Video Game Play: A Naturalistic Case Study’ by Matti Vuorre, Nick Ballou, Thomas Hakman, Kristoffer Magnusson and Andrew K. Przybylski is published open access in the journal Games: Research and Practice.

About the Research 

The work by Matti Vuorre and Andrew. K. Przybylski was supported by the Huo Family Foundation which had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the article.  The study was approved by the University of Oxford Central University Research Ethics Committee.  (SSH_OII_CIA_21_011).

Fight against the wolves as a standalone cyber sheep next year

LONDON (Sept. 24, 2024) – Developer LIFUEL today announced that the demo for their debut title, STAND-ALONE, is now live on Steam. This pixel-art side-scrolling action roguelite game delivers a rich and exhilarating gameplay experience through smooth pixel animations and a dynamic skill combo system. 

In conjunction with the demo release, LIFUEL has also unveiled a brand-new trailer showcasing stunning combat scenes and diverse skill synergies. Watch the trailer here:

STAND-ALONE‘s new demo features one chapter where players can choose different nodes to explore a variety of randomly generated rooms. Along the way, they’ll earn rewards such as currency, chips and skills, all while unlocking new weapons. Players can even enhance their abilities by modifying their skills with various active or passive effects, allowing them to craft a personalized playstyle. 

Dive into STAND-ALONE‘s world:

Have you ever wondered if those well-known stories are true and completely being told? There might be a version that is completely different from what you know…  

The story of STAND-ALONE begins with a “shepherd,” a robot known as a deceiver.  

In the wake of Dr. Wolf’s devious plot, the sheep were massacred. The guardian robot, responsible for protecting the sheep, lost its memory data and was abandoned in a desolate corner. By chance, the guardian robot transformed into a robo-sheep and must learn to face challenges alone and survive.

Will this lone robo-sheep, forced into a brutal struggle for survival against the wolves, be able to shoulder the world’s hidden truths?

Combat and roguelike challenges:

Engage your adversaries in kinetic combat, guided by robust and responsive controls. Confront diverse levels and ever-changing enemy formations that relentlessly test your abilities. However, stay vigilant, for in the face of defeat, you risk surrendering all your hard-earned skills and gear to the void.

Combo building and infinite possibility: In STAND-ALONE, you can download new skills from enemies’ systems after defeating them. Instead of simply getting and using new skills, modify and transform them, creating new gameplay opportunities with each run. Modify your skills to overpower all the wolves and establish the robo-sheep as the new apex predator.

For more information, wishlist STAND-ALONE on Steam and follow STAND-ALONE‘s social channels.
