| Epic Games has purchased Bandcamp for reasons Posted: 02 Mar 2022 04:45 PM PST  When thinking of major video game companies in the modern day, virtually no one thinks of the internet music platform Bandcamp. The service it provides has become a popular hotspot for indie game composers like Danny Baranowski and Lena Raine to post their acclaimed soundtracks. However, outside of that and some game soundtracks, there’s very little overlap with gaming. But it seems that as the Great Video Game Acquisition Wars of the 2020s continue, gaming companies will even see services like Bandcamp as potentially beneficial to their bottom line. Just today, Bandcamp CEO Ethan Diamond announced that Fortnite developer Epic Games, of all companies, has acquired his popular music business. According to Diamond, this latest acquisition will not get in the way of Bandcamp’s independence. It will continue to provide the services that put it on the map to begin with. This means that all artists who use these services will still maintain control over their music distributio... |
| Stalker 2 development is paused amid war in Ukraine Posted: 02 Mar 2022 04:15 PM PST  Stalker 2 has been in development for quite some time, but progress has had to take a necessary pause. The game’s developer, GSC Game World, is Ukrainian. Due to the nation’s current circumstances, game development is, understandably, not a priority. Development of the game is actually based in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. So the safety of the people working on the title is of the utmost importance, hence the temporary break from forward progress. It is, of course, entirely unclear as to when development will be able to continue, as Ukraine is under attack by Russia. The hiatus was announced today alongside a video published onto YouTube by GSC Game World. The video was initially planned as an update for fans of the game to be able to get a glimpse of how the motion capture system would work. For the first 30 seconds, this footage is shown, with actors wearing motion-capture suits and pointing prop firearms at one another. But the video then cuts to recent foota... |
| Mina the Hollower soundtrack includes music by legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro Posted: 02 Mar 2022 02:30 PM PST  At current, Yacht Club Games’ Mina the Hollower is only a day away from the end of its Kickstarter campaign. The adorable Zelda-like from the Shovel Knight creators already grabbed my attention. However, after yesterday’s announcement, now it has my ear. The famous video game composer, Yuzo Koshiro, is helping out with the soundtrack for Mina the Hollower. He’s only composing two tracks, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have them on repeat for hours. For those who don’t recognize the name, Koshiro belongs to the old guard of video game music. Koshiro began back in the ’80s, where he composed music for the Ys franchise. His work got popular back in the 16-bit era, where he composed music for games like the Streets of Rage trilogy and The Revenge of Shinobi. He also helped compose the excellent Shenmue soundtrack later on, and provided a few tracks for Streets of Rage 4. Koshiro has been around, and soon he’ll provide some songs for Mine th... |
| Eight of the best demos I played during Steam Next Fest Posted: 02 Mar 2022 02:30 PM PST  The Steam Next Fest has become a regularly anticipated occurrence that drops every few months, endowing the libraries of curious customers with fresh demos for upcoming indies. Considering the sheer number of Steam releases at any given time, the discoverability offered by each Next Fest must certainly be appreciated by the up-and-coming creators behind these demos. With so much on offer, finding the best demos from the Steam Next Fest is always a top priority. I’ve covered two other Next Fests in the past and walked away with a handful of treasures each time, often without much of a fuss. But, I have to admit that this go around was surprisingly…underwhelming, for lack of a better term. While I excitedly started off this collection with a little over 20 titles, only eight managed to really capture me enough to include here. Nevertheless, the fact that these titles did stick the landing at all is to be commended, and I genuinely look forward to their full releases. Perha... |
| Latest patch for Vampire Survivors adds a more content like a new stage, weapon, and changes Posted: 02 Mar 2022 01:30 PM PST  The rogue-lite Vampire Survivors is still fiercely swinging its whip, with tens of thousands of players still sending monsters back down to Hell. And today, demons slayers the world over have more reason to dive back into the slaughter. Developer poncle unleashed a patch today for Vampire Survivors, adding more content like a new stage (at last). Having another area to explore and fight has been in high demand for a while. Previously, Vampire Survivors only had a few locations, so more content like a new stage is most definitely welcome. There is a hoop you need to jump through in order to unlock it, though. Frankly, if your monster-hunting skills are up to snuff, then you shouldn’t find the requirement too taxing. Without revealing too much, just go play in the Inlaid Library for a while and check the new achievements. The new stage looks to be a monster laboratory, which certainly fits well with the game’s theme. Except I think it’s called Dairy Plant. Its... |
