'Sparklite aims to leverage its stunning visual style and roguelite mechanics to create a refreshing adventure with a strong environmental message. Indie developer Red Blue Games is teaming up with publisher Merge Games for their upcoming release, Sparklite. A peppy action/adventure title inspired by timeless classics like A Link to the Past and modern hits like Rogue Legacy, Sparklite has the lofty goal of combining a unique setting, timeless visuals, and a small dash of hardcore roguelite elements to create a new titan in the indie space.

At a Merge Games press event in a New York City office, we got to sit down and try out a hands-on demo of Sparklite. Guided along by Red Blue Games co-owner and developer Kevin Mabie, we got the chance to explore the opening hour of the game, play with some of Sparklite's cool gadgets, and get completely owned, multiple times, by the first boss.'

Hello buddies! Today I‘ll reveal some details about the game‘s sidekick droid Buddy and how he‘s implemented in both single player and Co-Op mode. Buddy has three basic abilities: Scanning, Telekinesis and Hacking.



Scanning is a quality-of-life tool that avoids random wall-bombing to find secret areas and gives clues about how to interact with unknown objects and facilities.



Telekinesis is used to move physical objects and modify platforming obstacles or use the environment against your enemies. OUTBUDDIES uses a hybrid physics engine to allow realistic object movements while maintaining the pixel precision of a custom engine for all player movements.



Hacking is an ability to modify enemy behavior or functionality to your advantage, a bit like the famous glitch ray in Axiom Verge. Upgrade your hacking level by collecting so called Corridium Protocols. Use your scanner to determine an enemies security level and the possible hacking effect. Those effects range from health and missile drops, to creating platforms, movable objects or friendly fire.



The idea of local Co-Op emerged around the Buddy droid leaving his gimmick status behind and becoming a fully fleshed character with various interesting abilities. Local co-op games were a big part of my childhood, and I hope the experience will be valued by our players, providing a possibility of team-speedrunning as a fresh take on the scene. Due to the asymmetry of both characters and the shared screen, a lot of real-life communication will be needed to become an efficient team. Of course, it would be super cool to have online multiplayer too, but that, unfortunately, is out of my current scope as a solo indie developer.



Compared to the single player experience, the Co-Op mode needed to provide a more constant activity flow for the Buddy player. On Co-Op, more random enemies are hackable and every boss exposes a Buddy-specific weak point. Co-Op mode also exclusively allows Buddy to create walkable blocks and modify the game's level design or create protective structures around the main character. Buddy's slingshot-like hacking seeds will also inflict damage on non-hackable enemies, enabling Buddy to actively engage in combat situations. Those Co-Op specific mechanics will fundamentally change the game's balance and feel, allowing for Co-Op speedruns as a very unique take on the metroidvania scene.

Greetings everyone!

In the first Mini Devblog, we spoke about the changes we made to the maps and visuals of the game. 


As work continues on the Unreal Engine 4.21 upgrade, our artists have been remaking and improving outdated animations. The goal was to bring them up to new standards and provide a more visceral and polished feel to the general handling of the weapons.

The following video shows the updated animations of the Gewehr 41, STG44, Walther P38, and the M1A1 Thompson


Next to the weapon animation changes, work has also been undergoing on the character movement animations and general controls.

Due to the OWI core update, infantry movement should feel more responsive and less floaty and actions such as going prone while sprinting much faster, reducing downtime of being stuck in animation sequences.

Our artists will keep improving many aspects of the game while our coders continue to work on fixing issues that have arisen from the 4.21 upgrade. You can expect to see more stuff coming in the next few weeks.


Sincerely,
Periscope Games

Welcome the new hero of the Valkyria Chronicles! The state-of-the-art imperial tank Vulcan] has arrived in World of Tanks Blitz straight from the epicenter of European War II. This well armed and perfectly armored combat vehicle will intimidate your enemies and tear them to pieces!

Until October 18, bundles featuring the brand-new Vulcan, as well as the iconic Edelweiss, Lupus, Nameless, and Hafen, are available in the Premium Store.

The Vulcan bears a very strong resemblance to German tank destroyers, despite the fact that it has a solid turret instead of casemate.



The first thing you notice about the Vulcan (characteristics) is its reliable armor. The front of the turret is 155 mm thick, while the hull is 160 mm. The sides are less armored, but still pretty impressive due to the protective shielding. Despite being quite well-armored, the Vulcan requires wise combat tactics. Its front is thick, but not invulnerable. To make sure you’ll live to the end of the battle, avoid open areas and use cover.

Although the Vulcan is a heavy tank, it is quite speedy for its class. The 900 hp engine and high specific power guarantee good dynamics. This vehicle can accelerate to 36 km/h and maintain its speed well. Additionally, the tank boasts great maneuverability as the Vulcan acts quickly and accurately, making it perfectly suited for dynamic second-line combat.



The new imperial “heavy” is armed with a 110 mm gun. Its penetration indicators are equal to the Nameless. However, the Vulcan’s AP and APCR shells deal more damage per shot at 350 HP and 290 HP respectively. That's enough to make enemies think twice before approaching.

This combination of solid armor, a powerful gun, and good maneuverability will let you support the offensive, break through enemy lines, and reduce anyone who gets in your way to ashes.

In Valkyria Chronicles, the Vulcan is in the service of the 502nd Imperial Heavy Tank Battalion, better known by its unit name Ausbruch. Its commanding officer was Lieutenant Colonel Klaus Walz. The tank was named after the Roman equivalent of the Greek god, the smith Hephaestus, who was associated with fire in all its aspects, including forges, metalworking, and volcanoes.

You helped us shape our game along every step of the way - providing valuable feedback on bugs and errors in Early Access, sharing your thoughts on the game’s balance and content, and just giving our team enough motivation for us to pull ourselves towards Version 1.0!

It’s been a long, tough road - but it’s just a single step in the game’s history. The PS4 and Xbox One versions are currently in the works, and we’ll be able to share more info about them very soon.
But after that - what awaits The Wild Eight in the future? Only time will tell.

Do you want to know about the game?

Please find bellow some Q&A that may help you to understand the game:

- What kind of game is this one?
WoM is a MMORPG. But unlinke others, WoM will not be the classical grind fest + gearing fest.
WoM is about bringing back the old times fun from socialising in MMORPGs + having the PvP blast of the MOBAs - DOTAs styles game in highe end, with an innonavative combat system: the relic system. Level up quick in PvE and then head to PvP in DOTA like maps to alternate PvP and PvE. Once at max level, do the epic quest in the dungeons or enter in the ranked system in the PvP.

- What is the relic system?
Relics are items that are allocated in a special slot. They provide special skills regardless of the class. And they can be swapped and changed contantly during the game, with hundreds of then available to suit your game style. And yes they can be used in PvP and PvE.

- What kind of PvE content will there be in the game?
Classical PvE content: quest, exploring, gathering and of course, dungeons. Leveling up will be faster than normal as we want you to have all the fun playing the battlegrounds.
But remember: max level dungeons will be there also waiting for you, so if you are PvE player, you will also have all the fun.

- How hard is the grind and leveling?
It is really fast. Reaching level 30 happens in less than 2 or 3 days while reaching max level at start will not take longer than 3 weeks.

- How do I gear up?
By doing PvE dungeons or PvP BGs.

- Are there guilds?
Yes, go social!

- Is there open world PvP?
Not at launch, but there may be after first expansion.

Hi! Everyone's busy heating up their homes and unpacking autumn clothes, while we continue to work, warming ourselves at our system units. We've been sweating away, so no amusing stories this month! Here's some content we created in September.
