Earthlock: Festival of Magic Coming to September’s Games with Gold
Snowcastle Games has been in full production for the past four years on their first major title, Earthlock: Festival of Magic, and it’s coming onto Xbox One on September 1. Not only that, but the game will also be the first of four titles to be part of the Games with Gold lineup for September, with the remaining titles to be announced next week.
This westernized turn-based RPG, which in subtle ways reveals its Scandinavian origin, starts as a simple quest, but develops into a deeper journey. Play as Amon and join several unlikely heroes to save Umbra, a beautiful but harsh world that mysteriously stopped spinning thousands of cycles ago. Mix up your strategy to beat your enemies by crafting ammo and materials, harvesting elemental plants, and customizing your characters’ talent tree.
We’ll be bringing you more news on Earthlock: Festival of Magic and September’s Games with Gold next week!

The new Duke Nukem game being teased is called Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour, a remaster/remix of Duke Nukem 3D being developed by Nerve Software. Screenshots included
Somebody just recently leaked to me details on the new Duke Nukem title being teased on dukenukem.com. It is called Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour, and it is being developed by Nerve Software. The leaker sent me screenshots, which I have included below.
According to the leak, when talking about the screenshots:
"These are official. This is a Duke 3D remaster. In many ways, you can look at this game as a Duke Nukem 3D remix as there will be a lot of new/original content added in as well. From my understanding, these screens are just a handful out of a bunch of press shots that will be coming out in the following days."
They also said that there will be both Co-Op as well as deathmatch online although they are not 100% sure on it.
They also included a handful of official screenshots, including an image of the logo.

Renegade Kid Closes as Co-Founders Launch Separate Studios
Renegade Kid has announced that its co-founders, Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove, have made the difficult decision to bring their 10-year partnership of developing games together as Renegade Kid LLC to an end.
With their friendship and respect for each other still very much intact, Watsham and Hargrove will continue developing videogames under the names of their new companies: Atooi and Infitizmo.
The award-winning library of Intellectual Properties that Renegade Kid has created over the past decade will be finding new homes. All of Renegade Kid's "2D" games, including the Mutant Mudds series and Treasurenauts, will become the property of Atooi. All of Renegade Kid's "3D" games, including the Dementium series and Moon Chronicles, will become the property of Infitizmo.
We hope you will share in the excitement that both Jools and Gregg feel for their new journeys. You can follow their progress on twitter: @AtooiLLC and @InfitizmoLLC.
ECHO is a 3rd Person Science Fiction Adventure for PC and unannounced Consoles, created by Ultra Ultra, using the Unreal 4 Engine
"After a century in stasis the girl En arrives at her destination: A Palace out of legend, a marvel of the old civilization eons gone, still awaiting its first human occupants. Out here, using forgotten technologies, she hopes to bring back a life that should not have been lost..."
In ECHO everything has consequence: As you try to wield its magical technologies it becomes apparent that the Palace has a will of its own… It studies everything you do, everything you are – to use it against you.
The Palace creates "Echoes", exact copies of you in every way, that behaves like you and only do the things you do. So the way you play the game shapes your enemy. If you run, soon the Echoes will get faster. If you sneak, they will get stealthier. If you shoot, they will start to shoot back. The game constantly reacts to your every choice and input.
The Palace "reboots" every few minutes, resulting in a blackout. This blackout-cycle is the rhythm at which the "Echoes" get updated with your latest behavior, learning and unlearning from your actions. During the blackout the palace is blind, giving you the freedom to act without consequence. This is the time to run and gun and do all the things you don’t want the Echoes to learn.
The experience is one of being up against your own choices from the last blackout-cycle, giving you a way of shaping the game from cycle to cycle. It is up to you whether you prefer to keep a low profile or if you choose to go and deal with the consequences later. -One thing is certain: You need to keep a cool head as you face the ultimate enemy: Yourself.
ECHO will release Spring 2017 - Postponed from Fall '16 to reach more platforms.
We will be showing the game at PAX West this coming weekend, so if you’re attending please come and try it out at the Indie Megabooth!

You’re a budding freelance assassin in a world where sinister forces are at play, taking on missions to pay your way and becoming embroiled in all sorts of cyber-shenanigans. There are also cats.
A multiplayer arena mode blends adds a Where’s Wally-slash-Waldo-for-other-territories dimension: change your skin and blend in with the crowd, then explode into view with a flurry of overly ambitious rockets.
Tokyo 42 is Mode 7’s first title as a publisher; it is being developed in London by SMAC Games with the support of UK Games Fund.
