Acid Wizard Studio (a team of 3 people from Poland) has released a pre-alpha gameplay trailer for its upcoming title, Darkwood. According to the team, Darkwood is a top-down, oldschool survival horror set in a procedurally generated, open world, and features RPG and roguelike elements, with intense combat and a eerie atmosphere. Darkwood features a hardcore gameplay as it does not provide hand holding, tooltips or linear paths. Players will have to think, learn and adapt in order to survive. The game also comes with permadeath, meaning that if you die, your saved games will get deleted and you will have to start over. It looks pretty cool, so make sure to watch the trailer below.

Dean “Rocket” Hall has released a new devblog for the standalone version of DayZ, showcasing 20 minutes of gameplay footage. DayZ Standalone features better visuals than its mod counterpart, though we can see all known ‘issues’ that are present in Bohemia’s ArmA titles – like low-res blurry textures at the distance and flickering objects. Naturally, some of them will be ironed while other won’t be fixed or tweaked (a ‘noisy’ texture would be ideal for the distant textures. After all, that was the technique that a lot of Skyrim modders followed in order to provide a better IQ). Still, DayZ is not popular for its visuals, but for its atmosphere and gameplay mechanics. And thankfully, this standalone version looks even better than its mod version. DayZ Standalone is planned for release later this year. Enjoy! Continue reading DayZ Standalone – 20 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage→

What we learned from Kickstarter these past months is that isometric titles can be quite successful. Ironically, most isometric games have surpassed every other Kickstarter project, which most probably means that PC gamers are not as graphics-whores as you may think they were. Or that they value gameplay over graphics. Or that most of those isometric games are sequels to beloved and classic titles that featured isometric perspectives. Whatever the reason may be, Harebrained Schemes has released the first gameplay footage of Shadowrun Returns, an isometric RPG that is said to bring back one of our most original & cherished game settings as a 2D turn-based RPG for tablets & PC, and that was funded by a Kickstarter campaign. Enjoy! Continue reading Shadowrun Returns – Alpha Gameplay Footage→
