Fatshark released the highly anticipated co-op DLC to Krater. Krater is a retro-flavored post-apocalyptic top down RPG where you control a squad of free-diggers through the perils of an open game world. It is not your generic action RPG clone – it is lush in its colors, hardcore and got a different vibe to it. The base pillars are crafting, exploration and consequence. Consequence brings not only the ability for the characters to level up and improve themselves, but also permanent injuries and death.

Joshua Stark has informed us about his latest pacman game. The Pac-Man was created with Game Maker 8.1, GIMP, sfxr, cgMusic, Anvil Studio, and Solmire. A game created by one person then. Which reminds me a game I tried to create when I was at the university. Back then, I was obsessed with game development and wanted to… well… create a game. I got half-way through there as I made – using only OpenGL commands – a cube that could be moved and rotate in all directions, included some mountains, a tilled terrain and a dynamic light source. It was a pretty cool project, but I abandoned it for various reasons (one of them was collisions). Sucks, I know. I wanted to even add textures and bump-mapping. And wanted to code my own bump-mapping instead of using the available libraries. Oh how foolish I was back then. But anyway, it’s good to see a complete game from a single individual, so kudos to Joshua. Continue reading Joshua Stark presents The Pac-Man; an indie tribute to our classic yellow hero→
Kalypso Media has announced the release of the Pirate Heaven DLC for the PC version of Tropico 4. In the newly released DLC, players can now ignore those pesky international blockades, importing goods via the new Smuggler’s Hut building, and boost their naval power courtesy of the new “Sailor” character trait. As part of the new DLC, your minions will now be able to resort to piracy as a way of making quick money, though all that ship hijacking, ransoming, pillaging and plundering is sure to attract international attention (and ire), so you’ll need to build up your defences to protect Tropico from invasion! Last but never least; players can dress up their female avatars with the new “Pirate Queen” outfit, giving just a bit more flair to your in-game persona. Continue reading Tropico 4 – Pirate Heaven DLC Released→
