Where’s My Game?! The Dangers of Early Access
About five years ago, Mojang popularized a form of pre-purchase known as "early access" with their game Minecraft. By allowing players access to the most current build of the game, back during the Alpha and Beta build days, Mojang opened the door to player's direct feedback, letting them essentially playtest the game through development. This system worked pretty flawlessly for Mojang, and since then, countless independent developers have understandably followed suit.Early access releases are now a pretty normal way for developers to release their games to players anxious to get into the latest build. But, this method of direct developer-to-player feedback has begun to develop a dark side.Within the past year I have observed a number of player bases lash out at development teams, going so far as to call the developers scam artists regarding their early access releases. The buyers of these early access titles feel like the developers have abandoned them, essentially making a prototype of a game, selling it as is while promising more, and then taking the money and running.
Transformers: Age of Extinction mobile game coming from DeNA
…and it's not a card battle game! Hot off the success of their earlier partnerships with Hasbro (Transformers: Legends, GI Joe: Battleground), DeNA has announced today that they'll be bringing a mobile game based on the upcoming summer blockbuster to market later this year.Unlike their past collaboration (which were of the Rage of Bahamut card game variety), DeNA will be tackling this one as a runner. Early screens have revealed Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Grimlock to be playable characters.And let's be frank - the only reason you care about Age of Extinction is Grimlock. I don't care if it took three garbage movies to get to this point - WE'RE GETTING DINOBOTS, PEOPLE.
Al Roker has an iPhone game, because why not?
Weather, like the App Store, can be unpredictable. You can plan for sunshine, but rain is always just a few clouds away. Bigger trends, though - like heat in summer, snow in winter, and celebrities attaching their name to mediocre mobile games - are as certain as death and taxes.With that in mind, I'd like to share with you the latest "why is this a game?" game with a celebrity name attached, Al Roker's Al's Weather Rokies. "Al loves the weather so much, he often dreams about it!," reads Rokies iTunes description. "It's up to you to wake him and get him to the studio."We took the game for a spin, and it's actually not terrible. Weather Rokies is a match-3 game that requires you to flick pieces from the bottom of the screen towards an alarm clock in the center. You'll need to clear away the weather pieces surrounding the clock to reach it and wake up ol' Al.
Marvel meets XCOM in Avengers Alliance Tactics
Marvel: Avengers Alliance and XCOM: Enemy Unknown don't have much in common except for the colons in their names and the fact that they're both awesome games. But if we could somehow cause them to meet, fall in love and procreate, it's possible we'd end up with a turn-based tactics game with a full complement of Marvel super heroes and villains.If that sounds like something you'd play (and it should), you might be happy to know that we can skip the awkward courtship process and just wait a little bit. Marvel just announced Avengers Alliance Tactics, a squad-based game for Facebook that will hit the U.S. "soon."Borrowing from the successful XCOM formula, the new title puts players in the boots of a S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, controlling the actions of agents and Avengers alike. If Avengers Alliance is any indication, the game's story should spread from the Savage Land to familiar locations all over the Marvel Universe. Various heroes will be available for recruitment and advancement, no doubt showing off increasingly powerful abilities along the way.
GOG.com Insomnia Sale is worth losing sleep over
GOG.com has long since cast away it's "good old games" moniker, becoming a one-stop shop for great games new and old. But why pay full price for said games when there's a crazy neat sale going on?Unlike most sales where prices are lowered for a set amount of time, the Insomnia Sale put a select number of copies of a certain game at a ridiculously discounted price. Once they sell out, that deal is gone for good and the next deal starts. And sometimes - just sometimes - the deal will drop the price of a game to free.You're going to want to keep this URL open in your browser and keep clicking refresh until the deal ends… which won't be until they run out of the sale's allotted stock.I guess it's time to put on a pot of coffee. You're going to be here awhile.
The Stomping Land release date set, dinosaur riding imminent
Earlier in the week the Steam Early Access release trailer for The Stomping Land was revealed, along with lots of information about the game and its impending release. With a set launch date of May 30th, The Stomping Land will be in players' hands just a little under a year following the game's Kickstarter campaign which pulled in over $100,000. Those who backed the game on Kickstarter (and qualify for the specific rewards tier) will have access to the game on the 26th, four days before everyone else will.On the game's official forums, The Stomping Land's lead developer, Alex Fundora, revealed that seven different dinosaurs will accompany the early access release, with other dinosaurs being added into the game as they are completed. Fundora also talked a little about the caves shown off in the release trailer, and what players can expect to get from exploring them.
Pleasing Investors Is Hard: The Untimely Death of Frog Sord
There is a lesson to be learned from every failure, is what Zack Bell, lead developer of Frog Sord, is quickly realizing. Bell's game, a Super Meatboy-esque platformer starring a sword-wielding frog has fallen on hard times. Frog Sord, as it exists right now as a playable Alpha, is probably all the world will ever know of the frog and his adventures. Due to a conflict amongst the MECH6 team, Frog Sord development has been scrapped.What started as a great idea two friends had for a game, quickly evolved into an early prototype which picked up attention and support from players all around the world. Bell quickly found himself picking up additional team members in order to turn Frog Sord into everything he had dreamed it would be. During these early steps of the game's life, a few mistakes were made that would turn out to be fatal ones.In short, MECH6 took on investors that they were not prepared to do business with. The necessity of constant feedback to the investors strained the team's ability to develop, as no one on the team was really prepared for the business side of things. On top of the investors looming over the project, MECH6 made some legal missteps that ended up hemorrhaging the team's morale, eventually to a point beyond repair.
