Spinnortality | cyberpunk management sim - James Patton
Followers, fans, and fellow cyberpunks! Since Spinnortality came out I’ve been working on another cyberpunk game: Silicon Dreams.It’s launching on April 20th!
It'll be available through Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux. Here's the trailer!
If you'd like to know as soon as it's out, you can wishlist it here.
A cyber-noir thriller with a Blade Running soul
In a corporate-controlled dystopian future where the lines between the real and the artificial have blurred to almost nothing, an interrogation-model android becomes caught between big tech and a brewing revolution. Players can intimidate, manipulate, betray or befriend; they can aid the insurgents or bring about their downfall. They can adhere to their strict programming – or succumb to deviant emotion.
Speak, or forever hold your peace: Carefully control the flow of information. Decide what to reveal, and when, and to whom.
Facts vs feelings: Monitor interviewees’ emotions in real-time – joy, sadness, anger, disgust, shock, and fear. Use this data to plan a strategy & draw conclusions.
Live and let die: Choose to spare deviant androids, or condemn them and secure your own survival within the corporation.
Branching paths: Move through a vast web of dialogue options and experience multiple endings depending on the path you choose.
We can't wait, but we need your help!
If that sounds like your thing, great! We're only two developers, though, so we'd really appreciate a wishlist, or any support on twitter, facebook or instagram you can muster.

Season 3 Changes
3v3 Standard, 2v2 Doubles
Adjusted MMR thresholds to address underpopulation in Diamond ranks and above. These ranks were significantly less populated than in previous seasons, so we are bringing their requirements into line for Season 3.
Each Tier from Champion I through Grand Champion III will have a slightly wider MMR range than in Season 2
Supersonic Legend is not affected by these changes
Extra Modes
Each tier’s MMR range is now narrower to better reflect the skill distribution of these playlists. In practice, this means that Champion+ ranks are reachable at lower MMR numbers.
All Modes
Reduced the intensity of the MMR compression we apply for new seasons
High-Tier players will not drop as much with this soft reset compared to previous Seasons

What about May 12th? Oh no big deal, just Huntdown is dropping on Steam that day. That's right, only a few short weeks from now.
We want to say thank you to everyone for all your support and comments on our last post, we are incredibly grateful to have such a fantastic community. We can’t wait to serve up the latest and greatest version of Huntdown with you here.
Huntdown is our love letter to the much loved old school arcade experience, and we wanted to bring you a bunch of new features that continue to bring that to life.
Oh yeah did we mention NEW FEATURES!!!
Not very subtle are we? But it’s true, new features coming to the Steam release of Huntdown include a brand new Arcade game mode (AND it’s exclusive to steam for the first few weeks!). What the heck does that even mean? Glad you asked! This is a new score-based game mode, where you will be able to take on hordes of enemies with a wild range of over-the-top weaponry. Build up kill streaks, multi-kill bonuses and all sorts of other rewards for choosing the unnecessarily violent option in combat.
Of course, no arcade mode is complete without a hotly contested leaderboard, and we want to discover which one of you is at the top of the bounty hunting food chain. So arm up, and see how far you can make it up our global leaderboard! We will also, of course, be releasing those much-loved Steam Achievements and Trading Cards when we launch.
And finally, thanks to Steam Remote Play, the Steam release of Huntdown will let you enjoy Huntdown multiplayer experience with a friend online. As much as we’d love to play together in-person, slaying criminals with our buddies, that has sadly become difficult for many of us with global pandemics friggin with our ability to have couch co-op parties.
Gaming has been such a powerful tool to bring people together over the past year, and we can’t wait to see everyone cleaning up the mean streets (virtually) side by side again!
Thanks again for your patience, and being the best fans a small studio like us could ever hope for. We look forward to seeing you on the rain-soaked, dystopian streets of Huntdown!
Please join us as we celebrate our new Iberia DLC releasing tomorrow, April 8th, by participating in our latest World of Trucks event - Cruising Iberia! Experience this vast, beautiful and historic peninsula, while on the job. Originating from the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία (Ibēríā), used by Greek geographers, the Iberian Peninsula is over 580,000 km² in size, so it's our largest DLC yet, with 49 cities available to choose from, each offering a wide array of cargoes.
We are inviting you all, our #BestCommunityEver, to take up the challenging community goal of driving 250,000,000 km while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Iberia. While you are #CruisingIberia, we encourage you to visit the many beautiful coastal cities on the north, east, and southern coasts. Iberia's two largest industrial powerhouses are Portugal and Spain. Their combined exports include, but are not limited to, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, metals, chemicals, wood products, oil refining, fish canning, rubber and plastic products, electronics and telecommunications, rail transportation and aerospace equipment, ship construction, and of course tourism.
Drivers will also have the opportunity to transport and deliver a variety of equipment and produce within the important fresh fruit and vegetable industry sector across Spain and Portugal. Newly created prefabs represent a wide variety of different farms that can be found in Iberia including large commercial farms and vineyards.
Of the 49 cities, we really want you to see at least 20 of them. So, we're offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver cargo to or from your chosen 20 cities. All jobs for the event need to be 200 km or more, so please be sure to read the rules.
And, of course, you can use your own trailer during all of this in the external market!
Iberia also features viewpoints! For the very time in Europe, you can enjoy handcrafted cinematic views, highlighting the many attractions that can be found. A sample of them are:
Visit the ancient port of Santander, the capital of the autonomous and historical region of Cantabria.
Drive over the impressive Guadiana International Bridge, the southernmost land crossing on the Portugal–Spain border.
View the striking Solar Power Tower of Andalusia, the world's first commercial concentrating solar power tower that took four years to build.
Cruise through the Port of Valencia to smell the fresh sea air in the busiest port in the Mediterranean and the fifth busiest in Europe.
Experience the beautiful City of Barcelona, the capital and largest city of Catalonia, known for its art and architecture.
Let's go cruising Iberia while contributing to its impressively large industry! Get ready for the journey of a lifetime, because we've only scratched the surface of what this latest DLC brings to Euro Truck Simulator 2. As always, we can not wait to hear your thoughts about this vast, beautiful, colorful, varied, culturally rich, and historic peninsula.

We can't wait to see you all out there exploring Iberia, there's so much to see, and we're really looking forward to seeing your photos as you cruise through this brand new map area! Share your screenshots and videos with us using the hashtag #CruisingIberia on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles and we will share our favourite ones (we may even feature some of them in an upcoming blog post!).
The new update to version 1.2 is here. It is called Lighting and Shadows. What is new / changed? - New visuals! All levels were added special shaders enabling the lights and shadows to be visible in them. - Our main hero, Leonidas, was changed as well. Now, he has shining armour consisting of the ancient Spartan war helmet and the shield with Medusa head depicted on it. - Every attack move now depletes the stamina, which recovers automatically with passing time. This prevents furious clicking and forces the player to think more and plan ahead during the combat situations. - Enemy's AI was slightly modified to improve their behaviour during combat. - In-game background music was improved with game situation reflection: Burning fires.
