Moons of Madness to Launch on Oct 22Nd Space is dark and scary: In true Lovecraftian fashion, you will face indescribable evil this Halloween. You will have to run and hide till you can figure out a way to conquer your own worst nightmare. Oct 10, 2019 10:59 UTC Moons of Madness to launch on Oct 22nd NEW TRAILER OUT NOW! Cosmic horror game Moons of Madness will launch on PC in less than two weeks’ time, so prepare yourself for a Halloween drenched in Lovecraftian horror and Mars exploration! OSLO, Norway – Oct 10th, 2019 – Halloween is going to become extra dark and terrifying this year, as publisher Funcom and developer Rock Pocket Games are thrilled to announce that Moons of Madness will launch on PC on October 22nd, 2019. Release date on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is set to January 21st, 2020. DOWNLOAD THE BRAND-NEW TRAILER: Download from the FTP | Embed from YouTubeDownload key art and screenshots from the Funcom FTP Having already been labeled as “one of the scariest looking games we’ve ever seen” by IGN, cosmic horror game Moons of Madness is bound to bring a chill down the spine of even the toughest horror game fan. You play as Shane Newehart, chief engineer on a research facility on Mars, 140 million miles away from the nearest police station. So, when things start going wrong, you are pretty much on your own. And things will go wrong. “We wanted to make a game that combines Lovecraftian elements and Mars exploration,” explains Rock Pocket Games CEO Ivan Moen. “And central to a good Lovecraft experience is the battle that goes on in your own mind. You will face external threats, sure, but having to face your inner demons at the same time is what makes this truly terrifying.” Moons of Madness is set in the same thematic universe as Funcom’s The Secret World, where conspiracies and dark secrets are commonplace. And although The Secret World-players will recognize certain names and themes, playing one is by no means a prerequisite to enjoy the other. The game will be available on Steam October 22nd for $24.99/€24.99 (pricing may differ across territories). For more information, please visit www.moonsofmadness.com. The Park to release on Switch Also announced today is the release of psychological horror game The Park on Nintendo Switch. The Park was first released on PC back in 2015 and on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016. The game was originally released in English, but is soon to be translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Japanese as well. Seemingly alone in a closed amusement park, you play as Lorraine, in desperate search of her missing son Callum. Atlantic Island Park was meant to be a place filled with happiness and the exhilarating rush of fantastic rides. But the park’s history turned out to be one plagued by tragedy and drama. Its freak accidents, grotesque killings and ghostly hauntings have inspired many a sensational headline, and locals worry the park is far from done claiming innocent lives… The Park will be available on Nintendo Switch on October 22nd for $9.99/€9.99 (pricing may differ across territories).

Ritgerðin byggir á tveimur rannsóknaraðferðum, annars vegar innihaldsgreiningu á 28 sögudrifnum einspilunarleikjum (e. single player games) frá árunum 2000-2013 og hins vegar hálfstöðluðum viðtölum við 17 tölvuleikjaspilara. Niðurstöður innihaldsgreiningarinnar staðfesta fyrirliggjandi þekkingu sem leitt hefur í ljós að ímyndasköpun tölvuleikja einkennist af kynjaskekkju þar sem spilanlegar persónur eru að miklum meirihluta karlkyns. Greiningin sýnir fram á endurtekið viðfangsefni tölvuleikja sem á margt sameiginlegt með uppbyggingu goðsagna. Frásögnin fjallar um hetju sem þarf að koma á jafnvægi í samfélagi sínu með því að undirgangast manndómsvígslu. Viðtölin sýndu að viðmælendum þótti mikilvægt að geta samsamað sig tölvuleikjapersónum og þar var kyn ákjósanlegasti grundvöllur samsömunar. Karlar eru almennt líklegri en konur til að flakka milli kynja í vali sínu á tölvuleikjapersónum. Vegna ríkulegs framboðs af karlpersónum í tölvuleikjum er hugsanlegt að karlar leiti að tilbreytingu í kvenpersónum en konur kjósi heldur samsömun við eigið kyn þegar það stendur til boða.

  • Funcom Celebrates 25 Years!
    Mar 15, 2018 14:22 UTC Funcom Celebrates 25 Years! Can you believe it? It’s been twenty-five years! We’ve been making games for a quarter of a century. To celebrate this special anniversary we’ve put together a video giving you some highlights of our twenty-five year journey. Download from Funcom’s FTP | Embed from YouTube We’ve done pixel platformers on the Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis (including Pocahontas, Casper, and Winter Gold). We’ve done racing games such as Speed Freaks for the PlayStation 1 and Racing Impact for the SEGA Saturn. We’ve made three major PC massively multiplayer online games where we’ve pioneered new gameplay mechanics such as auto-generated dungeons (Anarchy Online), dynamic combat (Age of Conan), and investigation missions (Secret World Legends). We’ve done The Longest Journey, one of the most critically acclaimed adventure games of all time. These days we’re finishing up Conan Exiles for the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation, and we just announced that we are publishing Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and will be demoing it for the first time ever at GDC in San Francisco next week (you can still secure a spot for a demo: https://meetme.so/funcom2018gdc). Since those humble beginnings back in March of 1993, we’ve released over twenty-five games across a wide range of platforms. We’ve survived major shifts in the gaming industry and we’ve had to adapt to an ever-changing market. We’ve had our ups and we’ve had our downs.

We sit down with Ragnar T�rnquist to discuss his first Anarchy Online-inspired novel. October 16, 2001. Last Friday we ran the prologue and the first chapter of the soon-to-be-released Prophet Without Honor. This first book in the Anarchy Online saga is penned by Ragnar T�rnquist, the man behind the game's story. The idea of a book that complements the experience of a game is intriguing. While Diablo and Warcraft and Alpha Centauri are all getting the novel treatment, the Anarchy Online novels are meant to reveal the already prodigious and comprehensive backstory that went into the game. Since most of the material is hidden from players of the game (or at best, only hinted at), Ragnar thought it would be interesting to reveal the background of the world in book form.

Whereas ‘The Park’ offered an immersive single-player story, ‘Hide and Shriek’ is a competitive multiplayer game where players are the ones scaring each other!

Large flotillas of ships passed north and west, rising slowly like grey whales drifting to the ocean surface, seeking to avoid the storms by crossing over them. To the east, there was the faint silvery gleam of another flotilla returning from the mines. While the storms were still much too remote to be heard – even with the most sensitive of implants – Philip Ross felt them. Rubi-Ka was, after all, his world. Not a sparrow would fall to the ground without him knowing. Figuratively speaking, of course. There were no sparrows on this planet. Ross focused. The windows darkened, and the panorama before him grew dim, leaving his office in a comfortable gloom.

Using a mixed methods approach, I drew on seventy in-depth interviews with gamers coupled with observational data from my membership role in several virtual worlds.
