By Jim Squires
While I'm not usually one for sports, I've always been a bit of a sucker for football. I don't follow a team or watch every Sunday, mind you, but if there's a game on and I'm in the room, my eyes will probably be glued to the screen. And when there's a big game like the Superbowl or Grey Cup (Canadians know what I'm talking about), I'm happy to carve an evening out of my schedule to watch.Last night's blowout was no exception.The big story from last night, it would seem, is of the Broncos complete and utter meltdown that started with the first play of the game, and the absolute trouncing delivered to Payton and his boys by Seattle's Legion of Boom (which includes former Grey Cup winner Brandon Browner, in case you Canadians are keeping score at home) that followed. Also, Percy Harvin.But if you ask me, there's a much bigger story from last night than utter annihilation of the Denver Broncos. It's the story of technology's growing relationship with events, how our love affair with gadgets perfectly blends with football, and, well… Flappy Bird.But we'll get to that in a moment.Play this browser game NOW: Zos, a fantastic sci-fi adventure platformer
Zos is a full-fledged adventure game brought directly to your web browser courtesy of developer 8bitSkull. Based in a surprisingly rich science fiction universe, Zos has players completing objectives, talking to characters, and platforming across a variety of colorful planets. What is essentially a giant space monster is slowly consuming the universe, and it is up to the player to find the artifacts called 'The Essences' that are capable of stopping the beast. Of course, The Essences are scattered all across the galaxy.As the player adventures through the planets, they can interact with the inhabitants of whatever planet they are on. Zos has surprisingly well-developed alien cultures, and it was always interesting to go and interact with the NPCs that were encountered along the way.Warhorse nets upwards of $900k on Kickstarter for Kingdom Come, and there’s still two weeks to go
With over 18,000 backers and (as of this writing) £571,108 (roughly, $938,613), Warhorse's upcoming medieval RPG, Kingdom Come, is on-track to be one of 2014's biggest Kickstarter campaigns. Warhorse was founded in 2011 by game industry veterans who have previously worked on games like Operation Flashpoint, Mafia, Forza Horizons, Crysis 3, and more. Kingdom Come is being developed with CryENGINE 3, and Warhorse is anticipating a quarter four, 2015 release date.Kingdom Come is a first-person medieval warfare game set in Medieval Europe that features a non-linear story where players can end up the hero, or the villain. The world of Kingdom Come is planned to be three-and-a-half square miles large, and Warhorse estimates that gameplay will last for over seventy hours.An indie developer is making one game a week (and the results are pretty great)
Game developer, Thomas "Less Milk" Palef, is currently in the middle of a self-imposed challenge to develop one new game every single week. Game development is a hobby for Palef, but he wanted to kick things up a notch and actually start finishing playable games. So, for over a month, Palef has been busy coding a producing a new HTML5 game every week."It's been six weeks now, and I've learned a lot," Palef said to Gamezebo during an interview. "I'm really trying my best to make each game better that the previous ones, and so far I think that I have achieved this goal. I know that I have only one week to make a game, so I keep my ideas and mechanics simple. This way it's not that hard to make a game in one week."The best games of #CandyJam (so far)
After last week's debacle involving game developer King trademarking the word CANDY, game developers around the world vented their frustrations by participating in the Candy Jam, a game jam event designed solely to passive-aggressively taunt the trademark system as well as King's other embarrassment from last week, being accused of ripping off another developer's game. The Candy Jam website sets its mantra as: "Because trademarking common words is ridiculous, because ethics matter and because it gives us an occasion to make another game jam."Developers have since been working on creating their games, and uploading them to the Candy Jam website for others to check out. While the Candy Jam lasts through February 3rd, there are a good number of games already posted.One of the more polished games posted is Discord Games' Candy Chasm Saga, an endless-faller that involves falling down an chasm filled with candy, attempting to collect as much candy as possible while avoiding crashing into the scary-looking tokens floating about. Magnets are available to scoop up and make your candy-grabbing life easier, and golden apples provide limited invincibility. Candy Chasm Saga borrows art assets from Discord Games' full-time project, Chasm.Savage: The Shard of Gosen is one barbaric adventure
Currently seeking for $6,000 through Kickstarter, Savage: The Shard of Gosen puts players in the loincloth of a barbarian in the world of Lor. Heavily inspired by Conan, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Castlevania, Savage: The Shard of Gosen is currently being developed for Windows PC with an estimated release window of July-December of this year. Matt Fitzgerald is the solo developer behind the game, and describes Savage as a real passion project."I've tinkered with art, music, film, animation and comics in some capacity," Fitzgerald explains on the Kickstarter campaign, "everything from amateur to freelance, and it's an absolute joy to concentrate everything I've learned and apply it to a video game project. It scratches so many itches: from logic and design to art and music!"
