My new game Shooting Saucer is out!
It's a shoot em up similar to Crowtel but with a lot more variety in the levels, and enemies, also a UFO chases you everywhere.

Here's an extended trailer showing a lot more gameplay, levels, and some new playable characters

The game is compatible with the Steam Deck, so try it out if you have one!

Hello! I'm the developer of Factory Town, and for the past year I've been working on a spinoff incremental game called Factory Town: Idle.

It has a lot of the same items & recipes of Factory Town, but everything is controlled through top-level menus where you can create new buildings with a button click, reassign workers to different production tasks, control your crop cultivation, and manage research & upgrades. So it scratches that same supply chain management itch that Factory Town does, but without worrying about paths or transport or things like that. Also your towns keep working while the game is closed so you can collect a lot of progress when you come back.

I just released a free demo on Steam and I thought people here would want to know about it (see the big green 'demo' button): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2207490/Factory_Town_Idle/

Full version (probably Early Access) is planned for release this April 20. Happy to answer any questions you have!

Call of Duty®: Warzone ™ 2.0 competitors: It’s time to drop in.

The World Series of Warzone (WSOWTM) 2023 is about to be the biggest year yet for the Call of Duty: Warzone competitive scene, as we are ready to crown the best WarzoneTM players in the world and give out over $1 million in prizing. And the competition will be now be open to competitors around the world, not just in North America and Europe.

Assemble your Trio and start warming up in Warzone 2.0, because WSOW 2023 is about to kick off this April:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liIcSYgVo2Q




The WSOW 2023 season is broken up into two stages and a Last Chance Qualifier for North America and Europe. It also includes new regions, which will hold their own Qualifier events, and for the first time ever, the season will end with a live in-person finale.


The first and second stages of the WSOW season include an In-Game Open where anyone can compete, a Qualifier, and a Final. Each stage’s Final includes $150,000 in prizing for each region. Each Final will be streamed live on the official Call of Duty® channel.

WSOW Stage I with the WSOW Trios playlist on April 27 at 10 AM PT. In addition to signing up on GameBattles (more details in the “How to Compete” section ), Trios will play on a special WSOW Trios Playlist in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and attempt to put up their best 10 matches before 2 PM PT on April 30.

While the public Playlist will be available throughout this weekend for practice, the actual competition — and opportunity for official scoring for WSOW Stage I — will take place on April 28 through April 30 from 10 AM to 2 PM PT.

The top 50 Trios in each region will advance to the Qualifiers later in May, where they will play in a special five-map, custom lobby series with WSOW scoring. The 25 best Trios from this event — in addition to 25 Trios who will receive invitations from Activision — will compete in the WSOW Stage I Finals at the end of May.

At the WSOW Stage I Finals, teams will compete in a six-map, custom lobby series with WSOW scoring. The top 25 Trios in each region will automatically secure a place in their region’s WSOW Stage II Finals. The bottom 25 Trios will still end up with a place in the WSOW Stage II Qualifiers.

WSOW Stage II will take place in June and July with a similar In-Game Open, Qualifier, and Final format. However, the top 15 Trios in each regional Stage II Final will punch their ticket to the WSOW Global Final!

Meanwhile, the bottom 35 Trios will be joined by 15 Trios invited by Activision in the Last Chance Qualifiers, to be held in late July. This special five-map event will see the top 4 Trios qualify for the Global Final before a special WSOW Wildcard match.

In the WSOW Wildcard, the winning Trio — as in, the No. 1 team in terms of placement in that match — will take the final regional qualification spots in the WSOW Global Final.


For a list of eligible countries and a breakdown of what countries apply to each region, please see the official full WSOW rules here.

The WSOW team will provide an update when these dates and additional qualifiers are locked, so stay tuned.


The WSOW Global Final, to be held in September, will see the top 50 Trios in the world battle in a six-map, custom lobby series with WSOW scoring. Only then will the best Warzone Trio in the world will be crowned, with half a million dollars on the line. In addition, each Trio will be travel and accommodations as part of their qualification.

Stay tuned for more information about this Global Final, including when tickets are available for purchase and the venue where it will take place.




For now, all your Trio needs to do is sign up for the WSOW Stage I Open on GameBattles , and get ready for the public Playlist to go live on the last weekend in April. Your Trio can track their progress using the WSOW In-Game Open Leaderboard, which will be launched during Season 03.

Can’t compete that weekend? No problem — you still have a chance to play for a Global Final spot in June and can practice until then with Ranked Play, coming later in-Season.

For those unfamiliar with WSOW scoring, players earn one WSOW Point for every elimination, then have that score multiplied by their placement in that match:

- 1st Place: 2x WSOW Point Multiplier
- 2nd–5th Place: 1.8x WSOW Points
- 6th–10th Place: 1.6x WSOW Points
- 11th–20th Place: 1.4x WSOW Points
- 21st–35th Place: 1.2x WSOW Points
- 36th–50th Place: 1x WSOW Points

Essentially, if you watched the Call of Duty Endowment Bowl earlier this year, you are ahead of the game when it comes to understanding how WSOW is scored. And who knows? You might just see those service members and influencer captains in your next WSOW In-Game Open lobby…




WSOW Stage I In-Game Open and Qualifier settings will be under WSOW rules, which is a variation of a standard match of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This includes changes such as:

- No turreted vehicles nor the Heavy Chopper (new to Season 03)
- No in-match events (e.g. Fire sales, Jailbreaks, Restocks or Champions Quest)

After the debut of Warzone Ranked mode, all subsequent WSOW competitions, including the WSOW Stage I Finals, will utilize the Warzone Ranked competitive settings.

The full ruleset for the WSOW 2023 can be found here.

Competitive integrity is paramount in the World Series of Warzone.

During WSOW Qualifiers, Finals, and Last Chance Qualifiers, all participants must stream their gameplay and may be required to implement a stream delay or other configurations to their broadcast, such as frame rate and resolution as detailed by WSOW administration. Participants must stream their gameplay on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook.

All accounts will be checked to ensure they are in good standing before advancing in the competition. In order to be eligible to progress beyond the In-Game Open, you must be located in an eligible country; be over 18 years of age; be able to stream your gameplay on Twitch, Facebook Gaming, or YouTube; and register your team on GameBattles.

In addition to RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ — a multifaceted approach to combat cheating that includes server-side tools that monitor analytics to identify cheating, enhanced investigation processes, and more — all participants will need to pass an extensive and internal Activision security check to make sure their Activision accounts are in good standing. Participants found to have violated competitive integrity standards will be banned from all future Activision sponsored Warzone events and may be subject to further action. Participants will also need to ensure good standing with any current or future World Series of Warzone program partners.

More information on the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ Initiative can be found here.

We look forward to seeing the best Trios in the world compete for the WSOW 2023 Title!

Stay frosty.

Grab a friend and prepare to battle against another Duo when Gunfight returns in Season 03 of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II, launching on April 12.

In this round-based match, players must use randomly assigned Loadouts to overcome the opposition and secure the round win. And with just one life per round, every move counts.

Whether you need to brush up on the returning mode or this is your first 2v2 duel, read on for the rules of engagement and tips for achieving victory.




In Gunfight, two teams of two compete in a round-based match. There are no respawns and no health regeneration, and all players are assigned the same randomized Loadout at the start of each round.

The assigned Loadout changes every two rounds, and you never know what you’re going to get; you may be trading shots from afar with Sniper Rifles one round, then rushing in with Shotguns the next. Each Loadout includes a lethal and tactical equipment.

In other words, take what’s given and make it work.

In each round, players have 40 seconds to eliminate the enemy team. If time runs out and both teams are still alive, an Overtime Flag will spawn on the map for ten seconds. The first team to capture the flag or eliminate the enemy team wins the round. If neither team wins during Overtime, the team with the most health wins.

The first team to win six rounds wins the match.

The Gunfight Playlist will feature four close-quarters environments suited for 2v2 play: Alley, Blacksite, Exhibit, and Shipment.



Alley: Somewhere in the Al Mazrah region, a small marketplace is cleared out as strike teams prepare to go in, weapons hot.



Blacksite: A training ground for Operators wanting to return to the warzone. Its location is classified. Blacksite will also become the new Gulag in Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0 Season 03.

Exhibit: Another Gunfight locale among the core four at launch.



Shipment: Iconic and perfect for 2v2 play, Operators have been battling on Shipment since its introduction in the Season 01 Reloaded update.




Season 03 will also introduce the game mode variant Gunfight: OSP (On-Site Procurement). In this version of Gunfight, Operators load into the map with nothing but their fists. Procure weapons and equipment placed throughout the map and eliminate the enemy.

Weapon locations remain consistent through every match, so you’ll always find an Assault Rifle or a Sidearm in the same place, though the exact weapon may change.

Learn the locations of your favorite items on each Gunfight map to get the advantage in future matches. Don’t underestimate the power of equipment, either; just be sure that when the enemy comes knocking, you’re done scavenging and ready to fight.




1. Keep up the pressure. With just 40 seconds on the clock, there’s no time to waste. Don’t let your enemies determine the flow of the round; form an attack plan and execute it with haste. By forcing enemies to react to your actions rather than the other way around, you gain better control of the match, increasing your chances for success.

2. Punish predictable plays. Sometimes you’ll encounter a Duo who are extremely effective…at just one type of play. If, for example, your opponents are strong slayers who consistently rush the center of the map, try flanking out in different directions and eliminating them with a pincer movement. Find the flaw and exploit it.

3. Cover and flank… Have one player go loud right at the start of the round while the other flanks to either side in an attempt to eliminate enemies rushing after the more obvious teammate.

4. …or go straight through. Sometimes all-out aggression does make for the best play. Keep your opponents on their backfoot by charging straight at them the moment the round begins. Best used when mixed in with other opening strategies.

5. Bait the Overtime Flag. It doesn’t take long to capture the Overtime Flag, but sometimes it’s best to let the enemy try for it first. This is especially effective when your side has more health, meaning that you’ll win the round if the flag isn’t captured in time. This forces their hand, so get them when they run in for the capture.

6. Rat in a maze. Enemy on your tail? Get your teammate to move up ahead of you and take the enemy down the path to their position. Now see how they do against both of you.

7. Watch your back. On maps this small, it’s rarely a good idea to hunker down and wait for enemy movement. Even in the 40-second round limit, fast-moving Operators can circle around their opponents to attack from behind. For this reason, it’s best to stay on the move and use cover only when you need it in a fight.

8. Communicate. With six rounds needed to win the match, there’s plenty of time to strategize attacks and counterplays as the rounds progress. The best Duos will use the downtime they have to formulate and execute a plan for each round, with the ability to pivot as needed. The rounds go by fast, so communicate clearly and keep it brief. Even simple plans will overcome an unprepared enemy.

Stay frosty.

Welcome back, fans of Fear the Spotlight. It's been a year since you experienced the terror of Sunnyside High, and we've been lurking in the shadows, tirelessly working on bringing you an even more terrifying experience. We can't wait to share some improvements you will see in the full game:

⦁ Physical Puzzles: We've taken inspiration from escape rooms to make the puzzles and exploration more immersive.
⦁ An Intelligent Presence: The enemy has become more than just a predictable obstacle. We've upgraded its mind to keep you on edge and constantly guessing.
⦁ Heart-pounding moments: We've added much needed scary encounters that are not just puzzles or sneaking. These are moments that will test the limits of your courage
⦁ More areas to uncover: We've opened up new areas of the school for you to explore, each with its own puzzles and stories to discover.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the final stages of development. The secrets of Sunnyside High are waiting to be uncovered, but are you brave enough to face them?

Hello everyone. This is a fast hotfix to solve some problems that have been reported since we released the patch.

Furthermore, we've changed the way some activations work in order to increase the speed both for co-op and single-player. This is experimental, so if you detect desyncs in coop or problems that can be related to this change, please report them to us through our Discord.

- Fixed a problem with cards increasing the charges of an aura or curse without taking into account maximum values modified by items or perks (f.e. Gourmet Meat with Power Coil when increasing Powerful).
- Fixed a problem in the combat log text showing an incorrect string of text when losing stealth charges. Also improved some interactions that were reporting incorrect values in the combat log.
- Removed one of the two wolves in the first Wolf Wars fight. The HP of the enemy werewolves has been slightly reduced too.
- Fixed a problem when casting cards with a gamepad or keyboard that caused the cards to target the current hero (instead of the specified target).  Also, some problems regarding the keyboard and gamepad control have been solved in this hotfix.

As always, thanks to all of you for your support, feedback, and understanding.
