A survival game about Vikings running around in co-op chopping down trees and facing off against big bosses. Less than three weeks since the Early Access release, Iron Gate announced today that it's now sold three million copies. This is just absurd but it's genuinely well deserved. This isn't some AAA or even AA team with a huge budget, Iron Gate is a tiny team backed up by Coffee Stain Publishing. The team shared some other records they've managed to hit recently too including over 60,000 user reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating, they're now doing so well they're rising up the Steam Top 250 and it has been one of the most popular games on Twitch lately too. There's just no stopping it. [...] Seems to have caused a surge for LinuxGSM too, the really great tool for managing game servers. Going by their stats we can see Valheim is now the most popular game being hosted with their kit with over 750 servers live. Crusader Kings II gets a monthly subscription for all the DLC | GamingOnLinux[3] Paradox Interactive are branching out with revenue models and they're now doing a subscription for Crusader Kings II, which itself is free to play. Even though Crusader Kings III is out now, the classic Crusader Kings II is tried and tested with multiple thousands of people still playing it regularly. It being free also makes it a good entry point for Paradox strategy titles. It's officially game over for Rochard with studio Recoil Games shutting [4] Recoil Games appear to have filed for bankruptcy a while ago and sadly a casualty of that is their game Rochard, which has now been removed for sale. Rochard was an award-winning side-scroller puzzle-platformer, originally released in 2011. It was also part of the early indie game push for Linux, thanks to it being part of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 back in 2012 it was ported to Linux especially for the bundle. Not only that, it was also one of the first commercial Unity games (possibly the actual first) to be built for Linux too, so it holds something of a special place in our history.

Description: Long ago, many centuries after Mars had been fully Terraformed, Earth went dark on the same day all existing electronics on Mars stopped working. All ships not in orbit fell from the sky. Mars quickly descended into chaos as society collapsed, bringing on a new Dark Age. Most of the population succumbed to famine as governments broke down and nations fractured. Around 1000 years later humanity is recovering and has entered a new Medieval Era, largely forgetting the accurate history of humanity and the disaster. No one knows if Earth is still around and is thought of as more of a holy icon and legend. Some ideologies reject the concept or existence of Earth as we know it.

The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative
The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Author(s): Amanda Cohen and Maya Sidén Bachelor Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Game Design Supervisor(s): Magnus Johansson Examiner: Masaki Hayashi May, 2021 Abstract The Survival games genre is infamous for its lack of narrative. In this paper we look at the possibility of emerging narrative in open world survival sandbox games. The survival aspect of a game is heavily tied to specific survival-centric mechanics that are frequently occurring in the genre. These mechanics and systems can in and of themselves give way to an unwritten narrative for each individual player. By working with the concept of Narrative game mechanics, we interviewed a pool of people about their stories and narrative experiences in survival games. After analysing the results we found recurring patterns to indicate how certain types of survival-mechanics can lead to certain types of narrative situations. Key words: Emergent Narrative, Emergent Gameplay, Narrative Mechanics, Survival Mechanics, Sandbox Sammanfattning Spelgenren 'Survival games' (eller 'Överlevnadsspel') är ökänd för dess minimala fokus på narrativ (berättande). I detta arbete studerar vi de narrativa möjligheterna i 'open-world survival sandbox' spel. Överlevnadsaspekten i ett spel är tätt knutet till specifika spelmekanismer (survival mechanics) som existerar i alla former av Survival-spel. Dessa mekanismer, som delar i ett system, kan av sig själva skapa ett oplanerat narrativ för spelaren. Genom att arbeta med konceptet "Narrative Game Mechanics" intervjuade vi en grupp frivilliga respondenter om deras narrativa upplevelser av survival-spel. Efter att ha analyserat undrsökningsresultatet hittade vi mönster som visade hur vissa typer av "survival mechanics" leder till en viss typ av narrativa situationer.

Con ello, se busca dar un poco de luz a todas las técnicas que se usan para la creación de mapas, ya que prácticamente no hay documentación alguna de cómo se realizan. Además, se implementa una nueva técnica a partir de archivos topológicos TopoJSON, para conseguir un resultado parecido a los videojuegos profesionales con muchos menos recursos. El objetivo de dicha implementación es observar y documentar las posibilidades, ventajas y desventajas de usar un archivo TopoJSON como base para crear videojuegos o para saldar algunas necesidades que puedan tener los desarrolladores. Para dar respuesta a estas cuestiones, se ha comparado la implementación y los resultados entre diferentes metodologías para resolver el mismo problema: cómo crear un mapa dinámico, interactivo y modificable, concluye con la validación de que es posible hacer un videojuego usando mapas TopoJSON.

Skora 2021 Deus Vult
Conflict, Justice, Decolonization: Critical Studies of Inter-Asian Societies (2021) 2709-5479 Deus Vult, the Representation of the Conflicts with the Religious Other in Grand Strategy Video Games: Crusader Kings Piotr Pawel Skora International Center for Cultural Studies, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Program National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University This article aims to define the relationship between grand strategy video games and religion to cast more light on the issue of representation of and the conflict with the religious Other in this media. The specificity of the depiction of religions in grand strategy video games lies in the military orientation of their gameplay, their apparent aseptic presentation of data and their emergent narratives. Thus, an analysis of this genre necessarily implies an approach to its formal elements, such as gameplay mechanics and its contents, including explicit narratives, shown in these games. In order to attempt this analysis, two main trends of thought are presented. The first critically approaches grand strategy computer games as carriers of discriminatory and violent ideologies. Several theories defend that an inherently military and intolerant character of video games can be traced to the military technological development and the remediation of board war games in the twentieth century. The second conceives gameplays as opportunities to construct and deconstruct religious world views actively. It has often been defended that, given a chance to assume the role of a character with different religious beliefs from their own, players are pushed to understand and act according to the systems of values of the religious Other. The case studies of Crusader Kings II and Crusader Kings III are presented to explore these two theoretical trends through the strongly religion oriented content and military-focused mechanics of these particular video games.
