Los Angeles, California (May 17, 2022) — Today, publisher Interactive Films invites you to put your hands in the air as they announce a May 31 PC release date for their inaugural full-motion video (FMV) choose-your-own-adventure game, The Adventures of Walker King. Join Walker King — a burgeoning DJ recently kicked out of boarding school — and help him make pivotal decisions as he discovers his path and navigates relationships during his rise to stardom.  
 

Walker King had an ideal life from the outside — a home in the Hollywood Hills with celebrity parents and a top-tier education at a prestigious boarding school — yet the quiet, unassuming life he craves eludes him. Seeking refuge in his one true passion, music, Walker develops two online DJ personas, streaming sick beats to droves of fans under the monikers DJ NO1 and DJ XMIX. As DJ NO1’s streams find viral success, the disruption results in Walker’s expulsion from boarding school. Now, he must begin a life of his own, but can he do so without revealing his secret identity?

“We’re thrilled to unveil The Adventures of Walker King to the world,” said the Executive Producer of The Adventures of Walker King at Interactive Films. “We’re incredibly proud of the performances from the actors, who truly bring the story to life. We know that fans of choose-your-own-adventure games, music, and engrossing stories will truly vibe with our first title.”

With secrets to uncover and fame to pursue, it is up to you to help this rising star reach the top and live the life of his dreams.

APICO, the Laidback Beekeeping Sim from Whitethorn Games and TNgineers, is Available Now, and Everyone is Abuzz for World Bee Day

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

APICO, the Laidback Beekeeping Sim from Whitethorn Games and TNgineers, is Available Now, and Everyone is Abuzz for World Bee Day

Every Purchase of APICO Supports Beekeeping and Bee Conservation Efforts Around the World

Erie, Pennsylvania (May 20, 2022) — The worker bees at Whitethorn Games — publisher of indie hits such as Wytchwood, Lake, and Princess Farmer — and bee-veloper TNgineers, are proud to announce that APICO, the semi-educational laidback beekeeping sim, is available now on PC! The game uses real-life apiculture (the technical term for beekeeping) and floriculture (the cultivation of flowers) methods in its gameplay in order to teach players about the importance of beekeeping to the ecosystem. 

Today is World Bee Day, and to promote the importance of bee conservation, a portion of APICO’s sales will bee donated towards national and international bee, beekeeping, and wild bee conservation charities. Ell and Jamie at TNgineers are encouraging players to help save the bees in whatever ways they can, big or small. This includes donating to worthwhile bee-related causes, purchasing products made with sustainable agricultural practices, letting patches of garden grow wild to allow wildflowers to grow, and simply raising awareness among those around them.

“There was no better time to release APICO than on World Bee Day,” said Dr. Matthew White, CEO of Whitethorn Games. “We hope that everyone who plays the game will take its message about bee conservation to heart, and help bring more awareness to this important issue.”

“Our thanks goes out to Whitethorn Games and all the players who tried the demo and wishlisted the game for supporting our efforts,” said Ell, co-founder of TNgineers. “APICO is finally out, and we hope that its message spreads far and wide.”

Combining resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, APICO will teach players about the ins-and-outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of our irreplaceable pollinating pals. The islands of APICO were once abuzz with different species of bees, and it’s up to players to rediscover lost species, cross-breed new ones, and repopulate each unique bee-ome. Progressing further into the game may also uncover some forgotten secrets. But that’s none of our beeswax.

Key Features of APICO include:

• Breaking into Hives: It’s not as bad as it sounds! Collect materials, craft tools, and play fun beekeeping minigames to help rehome bees before releasing them back into the wild. 
   
• It Takes a Colony: Breed, collect, and conserve over 30 species of bees, like the Common Bee, the Forest Bee, and the Verge Bee. They’re all Queens in our book.
   
• Bee2C Marketing: Fund the family business by making and selling honey, Apicola, and other beekeeping products. You’ll be a bee-llionaire in no time!
   
• Cross-Pollination: Cross play with up to four players, regardless of where you purchase the game. Bees who work together, stay together!

APICO is now available on PC via Steam, itch.io, GameJolt, the Epic Games Store, Utomik, and Humble Store, for $19.99 USD, with a simultaneous console release following soon after. 

To keep up with all things APICO, bee sure to follow the game on Twitter, Twitch, and Guilded, join the colony on Discord, and visit the official website.

Post-Apocalypse Survival Sim Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition is Now Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

 

 

Post-Apocalypse Survival Sim Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition is Now Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Raise Society from the Nuclear Ash and Rebuild Mankind Pitted Against an Unforgiving Environmental Massacre

Wiesbaden, Germany (May 19, 2022) - Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studio proudly launch the massively popular Endzone - A World Apart on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, aptly titled Survivor Edition, including Endzone’s first game-enriching DLC called “Prosperity.” Brave the destroyed surface of the Earth and rebuild a semblance of home for the world’s last remaining humans — or die trying. 

Steeped in a world poisoned with radiation following a worldwide nuclear disaster, Endzone - A World Apart tasks players with a monumental responsibility: build a civilization and maintain the wellbeing of Earth’s last remaining human colony. Much like its genre peers such as Surviving Mars, Frostpunk, or Surviving the Aftermath, players will use the tools at their disposal to build housing structures, develop a functioning electrical system, and maintain stable water and food supplies. Much unlike its competitors, Endzone - A World Apart won’t see players face off against ghastly ghouls and irradiated monstrosities. Instead, violent weather events—such as sandstorms and drought—seek to destroy.

Watch the Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition launch trailer here:

Boasting over 5,000 positive reviews on Steam, Endzone - A World Apart is a lauded addition to the survival sim genre and blends the best of post-apocalyptic survival and city-building, delivering a challenging yet rewarding redemption-style gameplay experience that demands intuition and skill. With the release of the Survivor Edition, the dystopian survival-sim is now available to a whole new class of (console) survival specialists. 

Key Features of Endzone’s Console Release Include: 

• Full UI overhaul: Specially geared to controllers – provides for a comfortable and up-to-date gameplay experience for current-gen consoles
   
• A Bustling Community: The settlement is rarely quiet or dull; fulfill over 90 side missions, all of which are rich in variety and cater to the various needs of your community’s inhabitants
   
• Build, Expand, Survive: With more than 90 different buildings to construct and   maintain, including power stations, shelters, water treatment plants, and, unfortunately, cemeteries, colony architects have a vast selection of structures from which to create a flourishing community
   
• Can’t We Order In?: To get fresh supplies and learn new information, scouting parties must engage in Expeditions — which involves leaving the safety of the colony and   venturing out into the dangerous wasteland to scavenge valuable resources
   
• Dynamic Radiation Simulator: Keep those iodine pills handy, as Endzone features realistic radiation and humidity values that force players to take into account important details about the soil in which they grow their crops

Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition is available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for $49.99 USD. Thanks to a collaboration with Koch Media, a leading global publishing partner, a physical PlayStation 5 retail version is also available for $49.99, as well as on Amazon exclusively in Europe.

Meet the New Races Coming to OGame Prior to the Lifeforms Expansion Drop

To coincide with the 20th anniversary of the classic sci-fi strategy MMO OGame, plus its upcoming release on mobile platforms, publisher Gameforge is excited to share a brief overview of the c expansion. This massive content release introduces four species into the universe of OGame and opens up countless new strategies for players to explore, with new buildings, technologies, and actions specific to each race. Below you will find a brief description and overview of each species available at launch — Humans, Rock’tal, Mechas, and Kaelesh — each with their own unique strengths that provide new and exciting ways to explore the galaxy in OGame.

The Lifeforms expansion is currently available on Public Test Servers (PTS) and will be launched for free this summer. As the community continues to deliver valuable feedback through the PTS, the team will continue to discuss and implement balancing and optimization changes that may slightly alter the Lifeforms expansion by the time it is finally released. The information below is current, but may be subject to change by the time of release! 

 

Humans

In the mid-21st century, humanity unlocked the potential of hyperdrive technology and was finally able to explore the furthest reaches of space. Over generations, humans spread throughout the universe, settling on countless planets, and becoming the most commonly encountered lifeform in certain quadrants. Humans have earned themselves a reputation as reliable traders, and they maintain good commercial relations with various other species. A balanced lifeform, they can rapidly exploit natural resources, are equipped with competent military technologies, and place great store in research. Through terraforming planets, they are capable of constructing more buildings and know how to defend themselves when under attack.

Humans are a lifeform with a wide range of skills, including the unique ability to detect other lifeforms. Their food production and population growth are balanced, and they increase resource production on all planets. Humans do not enhance any class bonuses. 

Rock'tal

The natural habitat of the Rock’tal consists of planetoids close to the sun that would be uninhabitable for other species. Their stony exteriors and slow metabolisms make them resilient to living in conditions that few others could ever call home. For centuries Rock’tal have lived on minerals which they exploit as their primary source of nutrition, and they became specialists in the techniques of mining ores and minerals to safeguard their very survival. Since the Rock’tal never become estranged from their natural environments, they are capable of constructing buildings quickly, cheaply, and efficiently. They are also highly effective at resource acquisition.

The Rock’tal are specialists in the techniques of mining resources. Their ships possess increased cargo capacities and are therefore more efficient at transporting goods. However, compared to other lifeforms their population grows less quickly and their food production is reduced. Rock’tal enhance the Collector class bonus. 

Mecha

Mechas are AI that can replicate themselves faster than any other known lifeforms. They communicate via an artificial neural network, providing them with enhanced capabilities and improved combat strategies. A lack of emotional modules in their AI makes Mechas unrestricted by moral deliberations, and the controller AI in the network is constantly on the hunt for new opportunities for conquest and exploitation. Other species fear the Mechas’ superior military technology, and for good reason: their fleets are swiftly constructed, equipped with sophisticated weapons systems, and constantly kept in good repair with nanobots.

Mechas can reproduce faster than any other species and their superior fleet is constructed swiftly. 

Kaelesh

The origins of the Kaelesh lie in the stars: they are born in the safety of the fabric between space and time. They travel through the cosmos in search of their own kind, covering many light-years, settling on planets inhabited by other Kaelesh once they reach a certain age. Before settling on a planet, however, they must pass a test before the Council of Unity. The Kaelesh use their metaphysical properties in their exploration of the universe, and as a result of the many galactic secrets they have already unlocked, they have made great leaps and bounds in their technological advancement. The Kaelesh are renowned for their effective exploration missions and their ability to see far into the depths of space.

Kaelesh are specialists at researching the universe, meaning they can significantly reduce the duration of expeditions, and their expeditions are successful more frequently. Additionally, they are less likely to lose expedition fleets. They only have a minimal need for food and have faster access to their tech tree. Kaelesh enhance the Discoverer class bonus. 

All bonuses gained from buildings are limited to the planet they were built on. If a player has a building that increases lifeform growth, only the growth on that one planet is increased.

On the other hand, all bonuses gained from any tech tree that the player has unlocked are universal and work for all planets the player owns. If a player has the same species across multiple planets with the same tech research, then all research is added up. Every planet can have a unique setup of lifeforms, buildings, and tech research.

Created by Gameforge CEO Alexander Rösner and originally released on October 3rd, 2002, OGame is one of the space-themed MMO genre’s longest-running games that, to date, has over 100 million registered players worldwide. Everything starts with the foundation of a small colony on an uninhabited planet. Harnessing the resources of this new home, players research new technologies and construct a powerful fleet to carry their authority out into the stars. Players can expand their galactic empires by colonizing planets, forging tactical alliances, or taking on other players. Launch unprecedented expeditions of conquest, and subjugate galaxy after galaxy, on a quest to become the most powerful ruler in the universe!

OGame is available for Windows PC via the Gameforge Client and is available in 26 languages. The game will also become available for Android mobile devices via Google Play and iOS mobile devices via the Apple Store later this year, and players can take part in the Closed Beta starting May 31st, 2022.

To stay up to date, be sure to follow OGame on Discord, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or visit the official Gameforge website.
