This week’s new additions to the Antstream library are an action platformer and a vertical shoot ‘em up.

London, 10th September: Following the big launch on PlayStation last week, it is business as usual at Antstream, which means two more titles coming to the massive Antstream library of retro games to play. This week we see Risky Woods (Mega Drive) and Wonder Planet (Arcade) joining the line up.

For challenge fans, head to Gun Force II (Arcade) and take on “A Mortal Coil”. Force your way through and get a high score in this explosive 1-life challenge.

Risky Woods, known as Jashin Draxos in Japan, is a side-scrolling platformer released by Electronic Arts in 1992. The game came to various platforms of the time, and the Mega Drive version was notable for having some visual differences from other versions.

In Risky Woods the player will take on the role of Rohan, who is charged with ancient monks that have been frozen in stone by Draxos and his minions. Jump from platform to platform, fight monsters with a variety of weapons, and rescue the stone monks. But beware, some of the monks will be evil and attack Rohan once rescued. Rescue all of the good monks to reveal the exit and move on to the next stage.

Released to arcades by Data East in 1987, Wonder Planet is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up that stood out from the crowd with its bright colours and cartoon-style visuals.

Controlling a starship in Wonder Planet, players will fire weapons forward to defeat flying enemies and drop bombs to destroy enemies on the ground. Currency can be collected and on a variety of power-ups, and special bonuses are available by collecting letters to spell certain words.

From rescuing monks to blasting enemies, Antstream players will be able to use the cloud system to pause and resume the action whenever they choose. Newly added titles are coming to the service each and every week, ensuring there is always something new to discover in Antstream’s massive library.

“These are really exciting times at Antstream right now. The recent launch on iOS and last week on PlayStation brings our mission to allow fans to enjoy retro games anywhere, anytime closer to completion. But there is still more to come, and that includes regular additions to the already massive Antstream library, ensuring there is always something new for players to discover. This week’s titles, Risky Wood and Wonder Planet, are both great titles that are sure to be enjoyed by retro gamers.” – Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream.

Subnautica, Vampire Survivors and No Man’s Sky among 80+ titles taking part in sale to raise money for charity

Gamers’ charity SpecialEffect are inviting gamers to buy and play a selection of discounted games from some of the biggest names in the industry as part of their One Special Day Steam Sale running from 16-22nd September. Money raised from the sale will support the charity’s work helping physically disabled people to enjoy video games. 

A key element of SpecialEffect’s flagship annual One Special Day flagship fundraising campaign, the sale contains over 80 titles, including Subnautica, Subnautica: Below Zero, Gang Beasts, No Man’s Sky, Vampire Survivors, Bluey: The Video Game and Kingdom Rush Vengeance. Gamers have the opportunity to raise vital funds for the charity by buying games from over 30 participating One Special Day industry partners, who will donate a percentage of the resulting revenue to support the charity’s work helping physically disabled people to enjoy the magic of video games. 

The sale is the opening element of the 2024 One Special Day campaign that’s centered around Friday 4 October, when partners from around the world will be donating all or part of their games-related sales revenue for that day to help the charity. This includes a mobile games promotion that runs during One Special Day itself. 

A range of other supporting activities and studio events have already contributed over £50k of donations to the campaign and more will take place on and around One Special Day itself. These include auctions, game sales, quizzes, golf days and running challenges from companies including Rocksteady, NDreams, EA, Barclays and Skillsearch. Many creators will also be engaging with One Special Day through a ‘Showcase for OSD’ streaming event to support the Steam initiative. 

With demand for the charity’s services continuing to rise, SpecialEffect’s Founder and CEO Dr Mick Donegan explains the significance of the event:   

“I cannot overemphasise the importance of One Special Day in enabling our work to bring the joy of video games to physically disabled people across the world. Our team is facing an ever-increasing demand for all our services – accessibility advice, assessments, the expansion and localisation of resources such as gameaccess.info, our DevKit and our Eye Gaze Games website. The generous support of the games industry in securing the future of these life-transforming, free to access initiatives is hugely appreciated. Despite the current economic challenges, we’re looking forward to celebrating One Special Day in the company of a truly amazing and supportive industry.”  

The father of one of our beneficiaries, Liam, summed up the importance of ongoing support for the charity:  

“The SpecialEffect team visited our disabled 21 year-old son, Liam, to help him play games virtually independently for the very first time. To have been there to see the look of joy on Liam’s face is to know why all at SpecialEffect and anyone out there who contributes their efforts, or money for the charity, are simply awesome.”  

Since its inception in 2016, One Special Day has raised over $2.5M towards the work of SpecialEffect to help people with disabilities in the UK and all over the world.

Sydney, Australia – September 10, 2024 – Microids and Savage Level are thrilled to reveal the third and final making of for Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. After exploring the motivations and inspirations behind the game in the first episode, and then the storytelling in the second, this new video focuses on the gameplay mechanics.

This third making-of discusses the challenges the studio faced in creating authentic gameplay mechanics while staying true to the pirate-themed universe. It also highlights how different archetypes are managed to develop effective strategies. Battles, particularly the 15 vs. 15 skirmishes, require precise management of your crew’s skills but, above all, a good tactical sense, utilising verticality and unit positioning. Inspired by board games and role-playing games, the gameplay is designed to be both accessible and deep, offering players an experience that is both intuitive and demanding.

About Flint: Treasure of Oblivion :

Prepare to embark alongside Captain Flint, his second-in-command Billy Bones and his crew of old salts in search of a legendary treasure promising freedom and fortune. With its original narrative using traditional comic strips as a narrative medium, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion invites players to immerse themselves in a historically accurate pirate adventure spiced up with fantasy.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion delivers adventure, but also strategic depth thanks to its turn-based combat mechanics, refreshing the genre’s foundations by drawing on mechanics from role-playing and board games, notably through dice rolls. When players build their crew, each member brings unique skills to use, allowing them to adapt their strategy to their style of gameplay. During the tactical phases, players can use skill and attribute cards to improve their crew members and gain an advantage over their opponents. Hoist the mainsail and set off to discover the secrets buried in the distant lands of Flint: Treasure of Oblivion.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion features:

• TURN-BASED TACTICAL COMBAT: A good preparation is key! Choose your crew members with unique abilities, obtain new skills, improve your dices. During the tactical phases, use cards to trigger skills and attributes and influence the fight with dice throws.
• COMIC-BOOK NARRATIVE: Enjoy a narrative which, beyond the usual codes of comics (onomatopoeia, speech bubbles), offers players original and dynamic comic strips.
• EXPLORATION: Discover a magnificent world, from the French city of Saint-Malo to the exotic landscapes of central America. Visit diverse environments (cities, camps, jungle, caves…) powered by Unreal Engine 5.
• HISTORICALLY-INSPIRED PIRACY WORLD: The game faithfully recreates a world of piracy, incorporating historical elements (language, costumes, weapons) making the experience even more immersive.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion will be available digitally on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and physically on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 24, 2024.
