COG writes - Double Fine has always been know for injecting a certain amount of bizarre quirkiness into their games. Now pepper in some 'Game of Thrones' built on an XCOM style turn-based gameplay mechanic and you've got Massive Chalice.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
Tom Chick - "For the first time since I’ve been doing these lists, which is probably ten years or more, over half of my choices are from independent developers. It’s an encouraging development. When you consider the movies chosen by critics on any given year, you won’t necessarily see the most popular, and you probably won’t see the most profitable, or the movies with the biggest budgets. Instead, you’ll see lists that include the best of independent cinema, arthouse releases, or at least the indie branding from the major studios. When the best of the year skew towards people who aren’t beholden to stockholders, it’s a sign that a medium is maturing creatively. Leave financial success, hollow fun, and the pursuit of pure entertainment to the corporations. Leave thoughtful design, innovation, storytelling, and creative impact to the hungry men and women with something to say."
Join Gus Sorola and Ryan Haywood as they discuss Massive Chalice, the bloodline-based strategy game on this week's Patch Game Club.
Very cool. I downloaded this today but haven't played it yet. I am looking forward to trying it out if I can pry myself away from Splatoon.
Interesting stuff, curious to see what Double Fine's take on strategy looks like.
I always like me some Double Fine, so I might check this out.
