MY.GAMES Studio Pixonic Announces First Ever Crossover Event with War Robots and Serious Sam 4 Dec 07, 2020 15:00 GMT MY.GAMES studio Pixonic announces first ever crossover event with War Robots and Serious Sam 4 Event is the first collaboration of its kind between MY.GAMES and Croteam 7 December - Pixonic, MY.GAMES studio and developer of the popular War Robots mobile game, has today announced its first-ever collaboration with another developer, Croteam, and the Serious Sam franchise. This is the first collaboration with another brand in War Robots history. The event was co-created with Croteam and based on the franchise’s latest title, Serious Sam 4. The partnership was formed after Maxim Fomichev, producer of War Robots, reached out to Croteam when Serious Sam 4 was first released. The developers began swapping ideas, and this festive crossover event was the result. War Robots is one of MY.GAMES’ most successful titles, and one of the top-5 revenue-generating mobile games for the company. In Q3, the game reached a new milestone of 180 million downloads worldwide. War Robots Remastered was recently featured in September’s Apple Event. Serious Sam 4 was released in August 2020, developed by Croatian studio Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. During the crossover event, players will experience: ●Typhon — a four-armed robot ●Octanian — a drone from the Mental(the antagonist hero from Serious Sam franchise) army ●Skirmish mode: Serious Sam style ●Hangar decorations with Christmas trees and beheaded kamikazes ●Hawk and Nucleon remodelled ●New Typhon skin ●Event pilot: Sam Stone himself ●Changes to the Rome map This holiday season, War Robots players will meet Beheaded Kamikaze monsters throwing themselves under robots, and Sam Stone driving a Papamobile through the streets of Rome. With giant Lovecraftian monsters hovering above the ancient city, obviously. Players will also be able to participate in arena battles called “Serious Games”, compete in a series of quests with awards and prizes, and also don kamikaze clothes to fight Papamobiles and vice versa. The event will take place from December 7, 2020, to January 12, 2021. After that, Sam will return to his world to fight Mental hordes there.

  • 14 Apple Arcade Games to Play on Launch Day from Strategy to Action to Puzzle Games, Here’S Where You Should Head First
    APPLE MOBILE GAMING 11 14 Apple Arcade games to play on launch day From strategy to action to puzzle games, here’s where you should head first By Russ Frushtick @RussFrushtick Sep 19, 2019, 9:40am EDT Simogo Games Today’s launch of Apple Arcade might be overwhelming to some players. Subscribers who drop $4.99 a month get unlimited access to a large swath of games, and scrolling through the list can feel a bit like trying to find something good to watch on Netflix. The initial launch line-up includes over 50 games, but we’ve gone ahead and narrowed them down to 14 titles you’d do well to check out first. WHAT THE GOLF? Triband/The Label While there are plenty of thoughtful, story-driven games in the Apple Arcade collection, What the Golf? goes another way. What starts as a simple miniature golf game quickly evolves into a bizarre blend of physics-based chaos. One level might have you sliding an office chair around the course while another has you knocking full-sized buildings into the pin. The pick-up-and-play nature makes it an easy recommendation for your first dive into Apple Arcade. ASSEMBLE WITH CARE It makes sense that Apple would work with usTwo on an Apple Arcade release title. After all, the developer is known as one of the most successful mobile game makers ever, thanks to Monument Valley and its sequel. usTwo’s latest title, Assemble with Care, taps into humans’ love of taking things apart and putting them back together.

  • EXTENDED FICTION in GAME DESIGN Austin Anderson (Michael Young) Department of Computer Science
    University of Utah UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL UNMASKING THE PLAYER: EXTENDED FICTION IN GAME DESIGN Austin Anderson (Michael Young) Department of Computer Science INTRODUCTION In any story, an element being diegetic means that it is an element of the story that the characters of the fiction can sense. The simplest example is that of music in a movie; if there is a radio playing music in the scene, that music is diegetic. If a musical soundtrack plays over the scene but is something the characters cannot hear, it is non-diegetic(DIEGETIC). The border between the diegetic and non-diegetic is most commonly referred to as “the fourth wall” (Webster), in reference to the imaginary fourth wall of a play set, where the sides and back of the room that events are taking place in are fully represented on the theater stage, but the opening through which the audience observes the events of the play is an imaginary barrier. This barrier isn’t just literally a completion of the four walls in a traditional room of a building, but also metaphorically separates the reality from the fiction, quarantining both from each other as to not interfere. The problem with this boundary is that it can’t fully encompass the medium of video games. Video games, at their very essence, are an interactive medium. They require some breach of the fourth wall for them to function, as the game could not proceed to tell its story without a player’s input, which is an addressing of the audience due to the necessity of their action.

    Independent Video Games and the Games ‘Indiestry’ Spectrum: Dissecting the Online Discourse of Independent Game Developers in Industry Culture by Robin Lillian Haislett, B.S., M.A. A Dissertation In Media and Communication Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee Chair of Committee Dr. Todd Chambers Dr. Megan Condis Dr. Wyatt Philips Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School December, 2019 Copyright 2019, Robin Lillian Haislett Texas Tech University, Robin Lillian Haislett, December 2019 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This is the result of the supremely knowledgeable Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee who took me to Fantastic Fest Arcade in 2012 as part of a fandom and fan production class during my doctoral work. This is where I met many of the independent game designers I’ve come to know and respect while feeling this renewed sense of vigor about my academic studies. I came alive when I discovered this area of study and I still have that spark every time I talk about it to others or read someone else’s inquiry into independent game development. For this, I thank Dr. Peaslee for being the catalyst in finding a home for my passions. More pertinent to the pages that follow, Dr. Peaslee also carefully combed through each malformed draft I sent his way, narrowed my range of topics, encouraged me to keep my sense of progress and challenged me to overcome challenges I had not previously faced. I feel honored to have worked with him on this as well as previous projects.
