Whatever You Do, DON’T SCREAM When Horror Title Hits 1.0 Release On October 28th

Raft of improvements coming with the full release of Digital Cybercherries new game where if you scream, you lose

Manchester, UK – October 15th, 2024  – Digital Cybercherries, known for their recent Xbox success with Hypercharge: Unboxed, are pleased to announce that their next title will be hitting full 1.0 release on PC on October 28th. Currently in Early Access, DON’T SCREAM is a ‘90s found footage-inspired horror game where you explore the mysterious forest for a terrifying 18-minutes (unless you’re too scared to move). The twist is that if you scream, you have to restart.

DON’T SCREAM launched in Early Access in October 2023, quickly becoming a breakout hit. In just its first week, the game sold over 100,000 units, driven in part by its meteoric rise as a streaming sensation.

Time only progresses as you move in DON’T SCREAM and you can’t predict the scares. You must calibrate your microphone in-game so that every whimper, jump, or even a minor squeak is registered as a scream, increasing the challenge. With dozens of dynamic scares, each playthrough offers a unique experience.

The 1.0 release of DON’T SCREAM on October 28th comes with a whole host of improvements, including:

  • Improved performance for smoother gameplay
  • Enhanced scares with better models, animations, effects, and sounds
  • Improved pacing of scares, with a greater focus on tension and buildup
  • Tons of new places to explore in the forest and existing areas look much better
  • Completely redesigned sound for a more immersive experience
  • Hugely improved microphone calibration
  • Some enemies can now kill the player
  • New environmental dangers
  • Steam achievements and relics to find to incentivise replayability
  • New battery mechanic to make things more challenging
  • Completely overhauled user interface that’s easier to use
  • Progress page where players can track their progress
  • Improved environmental storytelling
  • Game now has much more replayability

These are just the highlights that you can expect when the game hits ahead of Halloween! Those who have already tried the game in Early Access even more changes, with essentially every single aspect of the game enjoying improvements for the 1.0 release.

“The time DON’T SCREAM has spent in Early Access has really helped us define what makes this game tick and that’s all been channelled into a host of massive improvements that we will be implementing with the 1.0 launch on October 28th,” said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. “Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback and we’re looking forward to rewarding you with the best version of the game yet.”

Streaming Platform Noice Launches Industry First Reward Program In UK, EU and EEA That Allows Creators To Participate In The Platform’s Future Success. 

Platform prepares for ‘Open To All’ games and creators in October Pioneering creator reward program launches in UK, EU and EEA in October Playing Prediction Game offers a new paradigm for livestreaming

HELSINKI, FINLAND — Next-gen livestreaming platform for gamers Noice announces the next phase of its mission to revolutionize the streaming landscape for creators and viewers. Following two significant funding rounds, Noice is now opening up the beta service to new creators who share its challenger mindset.

In an industry-first and in recognition that content platforms’ success is built on the backs of the creators who make the content, Noice will enable monetising creators in the UK, EU, and EEA to earn Noice Partner Reward Units (PRUs), a pioneering reward program that gives monetising creators the opportunity to participate in the platform’s future success.

Previously, when content platforms like YouTube or Twitch were acquired for $1 billion+, creators, who made the content that grew these platforms, didn’t benefit in that financial outcome; Noice is changing that. When creators on Noice increase their viewership, hours watched, engage with their viewers and various other reward events, they earn PRUs. These PRUs offer Creators a financial interest in the company’s success and can be converted to cash if and when Noice lists on a stock exchange or is acquired for money.

Currently, Creators on streaming platforms can be demotivated by fluctuating advertising and subscription revenues, while smaller creators’ access to sponsorships is limited, making it harder to diversify revenue.

Noice offers the best monetization opportunity for creators, more creators than any other platform are eligible to earn – a non-exclusive platform model with a 70/30 revenue split. Combined with new ways to earn by selling virtual items on Noice, Creators can multiply their earnings to create a more sustainable income.

For viewers on Noice, the platform goes beyond traditional streaming platforms –  Noice viewers can also play, predicting what happens next to the Creator they are watching live. This gameplay enhances interaction, deepens the connection between creators and their audience, leading to higher retention and monetization for creators.

The full Noice experience currently supports the Creators streaming some of the most watched multiplayer games, including Apex Legends, Dead By Daylight, EA SPORTS FC 25, Fortnite and Valorant.

Noice Predictions will roll out to more games in the coming months. In October, the Noice platform will ‘Open To All Creators’ and welcome all creators and all games onto the platform with a brand new predictions gameplay to support every game streamed on Noice.  

Jussi Laakkonen, co-founder and CEO, said: “At Noice, we are rethinking livestreaming to create new opportunities for Creators. When viewers also play, they are more engaged with the Creator. New ways to earn mean Creators are already doubling their earnings on Noice. And offering Creators a financial stake on the success of the platform means Creators are True Partners on Noice.”

About Noice

Noice is a community-first, next-gen live-streaming platform built to bring Creators and communities together. With its unique interactive card game, innovative tools and industry leading Rewards Program, Noice is putting Creators at the heart of every decision it makes and giving them a voice no matter their size. United by their love of gaming, Noice continues to set the standard for innovation in the live-streaming space.

GHST Studios Launches Demo for Debut Title DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood, Where RomanPunk Gladiators Bring the Bloody Beatdown

Blast through hordes of enemies in this Survivors-like inspired first-person roguelike shooter—or die trying

Istanbul, Türkiye (October 14, 2024) — The crowd roars with excitement as today, indie developer GHST Studios announces the demo launch of its intensely gratifying first-person movement shooter DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood during Steam Next Fest. A first-person bullet-hell featuring Survivors-like elements and a parkour movement system, DIESELDOME sees players creating absurdly powerful builds against hundreds of enemies at a time as they battle their way through the Dome and, ultimately, their freedom.

Watch the DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood Demo trailer here

Inspired by high-octane titles like ULTRAKILL and the overwhelming enemy barrages of Vampire Survivors, DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood asks the burning question: What if the Roman Empire never fell and instead went on to discover petrol? The answer: the absurdly brutal RomanPunk universe, where the explosive blasts of rockets and homing Gatling gun rounds are drowned out by the cheers of the crowd and the death cries of enemies.

In the DIESELDOME, the crowd controls your destiny. A gladiator sentenced to death, you’ll tear through the pitiful grunts as waves of seasoned gladiators surge in, ready to steal the spotlight and claim ultimate victory. These bloodthirsty warriors, twisted by the Empire, will do everything in their power to outshine you, making it a brutal struggle to win the crowd’s favor—or die trying.

Thanks to modern Imperial technology, your body is an unstoppable engine of flesh. Mobility is life in the Dome, and by the Emperor, you can move like a V8-powered chariot! Parkour your way to glory by wall-running, sliding, quad-jumping, and more, lest you be ground to a bloody pulp or worse—booed by the crowd.

DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood Key Features:

  • Become a Fan Favorite—Or Else: Killing enemies, winning bets (mini-quests), and parkour challenges will earn you the crowd’s favor, multiplying your XP and bringing other in-game bonuses.
  • Each Run Better than the Last: After your run is over, gain currency according to your performance and achievements. Unlock new ability trees, characters, and more in between your runs using currency.
  • An Eternal Tug-of-War: The Dome uses a brutal region-capturing system that rewards or punishes the player, resulting in an eternal tug-of-war between you and the multitude of enemy hordes.
  • Hardcore Parkour: The stone walls of the Dome were hand-crafted to be parkoured. Utilize them for wall-running, gliding, quadruple jumping, jump-slamming enemies, and more!

The new DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood demo is out now on PC via Steam. 

About GHST Studios

Founded in 2022 by a group of childhood friends who taught themselves game development, Turkish indie studio GHST Studios was built on the simple premise of making fun games they’ve always wanted to play. Ridiculous fun and madcap action gameplay is their thing, and they’re putting that on display with debut title DIESELDOME: Oil and Blood.

Spaceboy’s dedication to mood and narrative is a wonderful fit with QUByte’s goal of making original games accessible to a larger audience. This goal is further strengthened by amazing art direction, excellent 3D models, and high-resolution textures made possible by the Unreal Engine.

Hannah will be available first on Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with later release planned for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and 5.

About Bithell Games

Following the success of Creative Director Mike Bithell’s Thomas Was Alone, indie studio Bithell Games was founded in 2013. Since then, we have collected a small team of creatives and our little game about rectangles has evolved into a substantial catalog, including stealth action, visual novels, and cyberpunk card games, a portfolio which has grown to include collaborations with iconic franchises in our original titles, such as John Wick Hex. We’ve shipped a total of ten games in addition to our radio drama miniseries North Star Rising. We’ve also published two books – the GameDev Business Handbook and GameDev Budgeting Handbook – and are proud to support other independent developers’ work, most recently the BAFTA-nominated Fights in Tight Spaces and Ancient Enemy.

We work as a remote team that pursues projects that keep us interested and enthusiastic as developers. Our jobs are approached with strong communication and a strict no-crunch policy; our team is encouraged to keep healthy work-life boundaries so that they can keep creating fantastic games without sacrificing their wellbeing.
