Hello, friends!

We are very proud to announce that a new


is now available to everyone! And if you haven’t bought the game yet, now is the perfect time with the 30% off sale!


Follow our two old friends on Valentine’s day, and see them transform into a pair of cuddly lovers!

There are 14 new original artworks available, with three full-length animations to boot! We also tried experimenting with the story structure, so while there are less branches in this one, each path is now much lengthier.



The story mode should come with the next update, but right now let us announce






Releasing in May, it’s going to switch focus to the M/F pairings, but it’s still going to feature fully original artwork, custom-made animations, and multiple fun, raunchy stories!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1532770

If you’re more of an M/M type of person, don’t worry, we are not giving up on the Shades of Gay series, and we’d like to expand the scope for the next installment, adding new mechanics, and maybe even a meta-game layer with some RPG mechanics.

But for now, we need to make sure that our coffers can support the extended development, and the best way to help us in that would be to wishlist our new game and tell you friends (and enemies, if you'd like) about it!

Thank you for your attention!

With love,
Felix

Hello everyone!

With a new week comes another This Week in Gears! We know last week was a little rough – a reminder that we have a post about the Re-ups here.




Take down your opponent with every gun. Completing three kills changes your team's weapon. Get three kills with the final weapon to finish the match and defeat your enemies. Hope you know how to handle the big guns. Arms Race will be running until the end of Operation 5 as we prepare to move into Operation 6!


There will be no Horde Event this week and as we move towards Operation 6! In the meantime, please share your Boss Rush moments with us on your social platform of choice!


This week’s hive is The Warren. With many electrified juvies to deal with, this one won't be easy.


As previously mentioned last week Gears Glory continues with the focus on Black History Month.

Today, we are featuring lx_kaos_gaming's staying under pressure in his tribute to Gears of War.

Have fun!

Don’t forget that you can get the game on Steam (or wishlist it, that helps us a lot!) just below:
store.steampowered.com/app/269190/Edge_Of_Eternity/

It’s the 1970’s: the era of Funk, flared jeans and disco-fueled Saturday nights. A crack team of expert thieves turn Grand Larceny into an art-form by using their many talents to break into the richest homes and steal the finest jewelry - all to finance their hedonistic lifestyles. That is until a lucrative museum heist in Venice involving a famous gem known as ‘Luna Stone’ ends in betrayal and the team broken apart. Five years later the remaining gang members reunite with a plot for revenge against their traitorous former comrade – but naturally, their plan will also make them rich beyond their wildest dreams…

The German game forge Synetic has once more taken the graphics engine a significant step further. In a gorgeous game world, completely explorable on wheels, the player gets to solve gripping criminal cases and master other diverse assignments.

Completely reworked Story Mode: The previously published parts of the Crash Time series already offered tons of breathtaking action. Crash Time 3 also includes an all-new storyline. Right from the start, the player learns about the destructive power of a terrorist organization that will cross our heroes' path again and again during the game. In the course of the game, the player's objective is to discover more and more details and information regarding a series of crimes that seem to have no connection at first, and then solve everything in a grand finale.

Once you take control of your own station it's up to you to determine the line-up, hire actors and directors, produce your own shows, series and movies and to grab those lucrative advertising deals from right under your competitors' noses. Oh, and about the competition: you can either play MUD TV alone, with your friends over a network or via Internet! Go head-to-head with your opponents as you fight for market share amongst the retired and housewives, headhunt their best employees and, if that doesn't do the trick, a little sabotage should keep your enemies from getting too bored! Or, as an alternative, you can assume control of a station together with a friend and run it cooperatively.

Hi everyone, here comes the second update.

Changes:
- added a new gameplay-changing option: display distance on X and Y axis. You can choose neither, one or both. This allows you to depend much less on luck and more on logic, so you can solve puzzles with less moves (but more thinking). By default both will be enabled.
- added black outline for the tile labels to make them more readable (especially on the yellow tiles).
- fixed the 'Back to Title screen' button on the Credits screen, it was only partially pressable.
- fixed a bug which caused scores to be displayed incorrectly sometimes (for example, 98 50 instead of 98 050).
- 'Continue game' button now also shows the size of the saved puzzle.
- the game will pause automatically on focus loss (when it's minimized or you switch to a different window).
- updated the Credits to include my German friend Leon :)

The first two changes were inspired by Mark Alan's comments on Steam, thanks!

My priority for the next update will be an interactive tutorial. Unless players suggest something more important.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Happy tiling!
