Curve Digital and Kuju merge to form 'major new British publisher'

Catalis acquires Curve Digital, creates UK games powerhouse

The Catalis Group, backed by Private Equity and the parent company of Kuju Entertainment and Testronic, has acquired leading independent games publisher and developer Curve Digital.

The agreement sees the creation of a new group – Curve Digital Entertainment – within Catalis, comprising:

• Curve Digital Publishing, the fast growing independent publisher on PC and console formats. London-based, it has just completed its most successful year to date. Curve has published acclaimed titles such as The Swindle, Pumped BMX+ and the Instant Indie compilations – and has a number of key titles lined up for release in 2016, including Cosmochoria, Action Henk and Hue.

• Kuju Entertainment, one of the UK’s leading ‘work for hire’ development companies, which encompasses the Zoe Mode and Headstrong Games studios. Kuju is working on titles for Ubisoft, Activision, Nintendo and other major publishers. Kuju also creates its own IP, whilst the Kuju Start-Ups division provides investment and support for the indie games sector.

This new UK games powerhouse is headed up by Catalis CEO Dominic Wheatley, who co-founded the famous ‘Britsoft’ publisher Eidos Interactive, which created the Tomb Raider franchise.

“Our acquisition of Curve Digital and merging them with Kuju means we have created the potential for a major new British games publisher, the first of its kind for many years.” said Wheatley. “It’s also good news for the UK indie games community to have a professional publishing partner who can take their titles to the international market.”

Jason Perkins, Managing Director at Curve Digital, added: “Curve’s unique publishing model and expertise within the indie space has enabled us to grow steadily year on year, but this move will enable us to accelerate our expansion.”

Stuart Dinsey, a major investor in Curve Digital at its formation, will be Chairman of the Curve Digital Entertainment group. ‘This is so exciting for all of us. We’re targeting business development across both Curve and Kuju.”

The Catalis Group also includes Testronic Laboratories, the leading QA, compliance and localization service provider.

Classic Psychonauts coming to PS4 this spring

Classic Psychonauts Comes to PS4 This Spring

We’re super excited to announce that our classic PS2 platformer Psychonauts is heading to PS4 this spring!

Psychonauts follows the story of a young psychic named Razputin in his quest to join an elite group of international psychic secret agents, the Psychonauts! He runs away from the circus and breaks into their secret training facility, Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.

As he begins his training by psychically delving inside the consciousnesses of his tutors and those around him, he realizes all is not as it seems, and soon embarks upon a psychic odyssey through a variety of levels set inside the minds of misfits, monsters, and madmen!

You may have seen Psychonauts in the news a fair bit recently. Last month at PlayStation Experience we announced that Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin would be coming exclusively to PlayStation VR in 2016, and for the last month we’ve been running a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to make Psychonauts 2. We’re happy to report that we are now 100% funded, so can officially announce that Psychonauts 2 will also be coming to PS4 in a few years time — that’s a whole lot of Psychonauts to look forward to!

Shiness screenshots introduce playable characters

Shiness unveils its playable characters with new screenshots

Shiness is a new Action-RPG developed by indie development studio Enigami. Travel through an enchanting yet hostile world where the lands of Mahera have become fragmented. The new series of screenshots unveiled today will tell you more about the game's five playable characters.

You play as Chado, a young and adventurous Waki able to communicate with a spirit from nature, the Shiness, and who masters the element of Earth. You will helped by Poky, an engineering genius able to repair anything mechanical, who is able to manipulate magnetic fields and electrical currents. Kayenne is a powerful Shelk warrior, who harnesses the psychic gif of Telekinesis; with this power, he may interact with the environment remotely, or paralyze enemies in battle. Askel is a fearsome mercenary, whose whip is destructive in combat, but is also useful during exploration to retrieve items normally out of reach. Finally, Rosalya use the Fire element to disperse darkness, reveal hidden items or enemies, or inflict heavy damage during combat.

Complementarity between the members of your team will play an important role, as much during exploration as in the dynamic, 1 versus 1 combats of Shiness. Once in the arena, it's up to you to adopt the best timing for chain punches, kicks, magic attacks and destructive combos. During these duels, your companions can intervene to replace the lead fighter, or help them when required. Task your teammates with healing you when your health is down or to cast a spell to boost your strength at the start of every fight, and wisely use the Elemental affinities of each characters to weaken your enemies.

Mojang Announces Minecraft: Education Edition

微软宣布推出《我的世界：教育版 Minecraft: Education Edition》

　　「为什么是玩我的世界，而不是做功课」。微软今日正式公开以《我的世界》游戏为发想、针对课堂使用的《我的世界：教育版（Minecraft: Education Edition）》。其实早在 2011 年起《我的世界：教育版》这套软件就已经用于世界各地的 40 个国家，但在微软收购后将带来更强大的功能集。

　　《我的世界：教育版》从夏季开始可以免费试用，可能是为了方便让学校引进，第一年将采免费。 Mojang 首席营运长 Vu Bui 表示「《我的世界》是一种通俗且具创造性的游乐场，这便是本作为何如此适合用于课堂上的原因之一，我们已经看到《我的世界》超越了世界各地不同的教学、学习方式和教育系统。是个可以让人们聚在一起的开放空间，并使用周遭邻近的任何东西建筑的一堂课。」

　　对于《我的世界》来说这是个大消息，它能以教育的名义出现在更多部的计算机上。似乎还可以被用于科学、艺术甚至诗歌的课程，很显然的是，似乎没有任何主题是不能用积木来尝试和达成的。

　　其他有关《我的世界》的新闻就是英国伦敦市长 Boris Johnson 所提出的全新倡议「游戏伦敦（Games London）」，希望能帮助城市内的游戏开发者。当然，影片中的正是《我的世界》版的伦敦。

Announcing Minecraft: Education Edition

Hello!

News from a slightly different, arguably smarter, place today. We’re announcing Minecraft: Education Edition.

Of course, every Minecraft player learns essential life-skills like tree-punching and good Creeper-defence but, when used in the right way, Minecraft can help people around the world to learn lots more.

Over the past few years, educators around the world have been using Minecraft to explore subjects that might not spring to mind when you think of our block-based game. Since 2011, MinecraftEdu - a version of Minecraft built for the classroom - has been used in over 40 countries. Lots of people have learned loads of things since then.

Microsoft has acquired MinecraftEdu and is building upon its proven success to create a new version of Minecraft that’s dedicated to learning. The new title will be available as a free trial this summer. All existing MinecraftEdu customers will get the first year of Minecraft: Education Edition free of charge.

It’s going to be a collaborative thing. Development of Minecraft: Education Edition will be shaped by a community of educators thanks to http://education.minecraft.net/ . The site will host lesson plans and give Minecraft: Education Edition users somewhere to discuss ideas and provide feedback. We know teachers can be a rowdy bunch, so we’re looking into the best ways to moderate the forums as I type. Wish us luck.

For more on Minecraft: Education Edition, check out this post (which comes with bonus quotes), or visit the official page.

Have a great day, everyone!

Prison Architect Coming to PS4, Xbox One & Xbox 360 this Spring
《监狱建筑师》将登陆主机新增社区等功能

　　此前曾在PC上推出的《监狱建筑师》确定于2016年春登陆PS4、Xbox One和Xbox 360三个平台，售价为29.99美元。

　　《监狱建筑师》是一款非常有趣的模拟经营类游戏，玩家需要对全局进行把控，来运营一所监狱，游戏PC版的销量已经突破150万，Metacritic评分为83。

　　游戏的主机版除了在故事模式以及沙箱模式的基础上加入了名为“典狱长入狱”的新模式外，还为玩家搭建了游戏社区。玩家可以在“典狱长世界”模式中分享自己监狱的建造状况，并可以游玩其他玩家所上传的相关内容。

Your Design, Their Fate: Prison Architect Sentenced to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360

Publisher and developer Double Eleven and Introversion Software revealed that the critically acclaimed and best-selling Prison Architect will be released into the world as a well-adjusted member of society on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4 this Spring for $29.99. The new console editions will host a variety of exclusive features and have been tailored to each platform’s unique controller style. Prison Architect, released last October for PC, has to date sold more than 1.5 million copies and currently hosts an impressive 83 percent on Metacritic.com.

Unique to the coming Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 editions of Prison Architect is the Prison Warden Mode, which allows players to jump in and take control of one of several pre-built prisons right away to get into the action faster. Also new to the console editions is the World of Wardens, a feature that grants you the ability to share your prisons online and try your hand at governing prisons that others have uploaded. Additionally, Double Eleven have put their own touch on each of these editions, creating a unique Prison Architect experience for each platform.

In Prison Architect, players build and manage their own maximum security prison built to hold the most hardened of criminals. The console editions include a fully-fledged story mode and sandbox mode with entirely new in-game community features allowing players to build, maintain and share their maximum security prisons with the touch of a button.

Cope with blazing infernos, prison wide riots, demolition and construction, and if you make it through unscathed the Mayor will be ready to give you the reigns of a brand new prison development where you can build the prison of your dreams.

Mark Morris, managing director of Introversion said, “Myself, Chris Delay and the rest of the team have spent more than five years with the community making Prison Architect what it is today and we’re grateful for all the support we’ve had along the way. The decision to bring the game to new platforms and finding a partner was no easy one. Enter Double Eleven, who have a demonstrated a wonderful track record in taking a known game and really making it their own. Double Eleven approached us with their ideas for the game both as a publisher and developer and we were really excited about where they wanted to take it.”

“Prison Architect stands as a truly unique, thought provoking look into how one would build and operate their own Prison playing out the consequences of your decisions. We were delighted that Introversion chose us to develop and publish the console editions of Prison Architect, as one of the most respected developers in the world that meant so much to all of us as we know this is their baby. We only take on games that we enjoy and that we know we can do a stellar job of creating; both Introversion and future players deserve no less,” said Mark South, chief operating officer of Double Eleven.

Developed by Double Eleven in partnership with Introversion Software, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 editions will be available this Spring for $29.99.
