Gaming Conviction sits down with MPact Games to discuss their upcoming multiplayer samurai game Hanako: Soul of the Samurai
Marcus Estrada writes: "Every month Kickstarter is full of wild successes, and depressing failures. While some are always going to have that massive fan push behind them to see hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding others barely make it to the finish line. Due to the nature of Kickstarter, there's simply not enough money to go around to fund every worthwhile campaign. The purpose of this post is to shine a light on those campaigns that had the chops for success, but for one reason or another failed to make their goal this time."
Arthur Frawley writes: "We all love Team Fortress, Battlefield’s conquest mode, and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. If I told you there was a game that took the class based combat from Team Fortress, the push and pull combat from Battlefield, and the combat from Chivalry, but it also added interesting lore and class based Ki powers I’m sure you jump for joy so hard you would crack your head on the ceiling. Before you have to call a new roofer let me tell you why this mixing of game ideas might not be as good as it seems."
"Just this weekend I found myself on Steam with money in my pocket and a skip in my step. As I trolloped and danced around looking for deals, a certain game caught my attention. This game, titled Magical Diary, promised me so many things. I could go to a magical high school where demons and werewolves all learned how to be magical beings. There I could focus on learning various arts that would make me a powerful sorcerer one day. I would also be given the opportunity to fall in love and find true romance in this magical world.
What the game neglected to mention was that while character customization existed, the capacity to maintain a Y chromosome was a luxury I would not be afforded. In other words, I was going to be experiencing this magical world as an angst laden 15 year old girl. What more, I was soon going to learn that the promise of finding true love was not optional."
