[gfycat data_id="NastyDifficultHumpbackwhale"][gfycat data_id=""]

A cyberpunk point and click adventure game. There really isn’t much info on this at all, but I love Valenberg’s pixel art so at the very least it should turn out to be pretty. There’s a music track below which was a collaboration between Victor Love and Dynatron.

The website for the game doesn’t seem to be up and running yet, but you can follow Theta Division Games on twitter.

Shuyan

developed by Mark Media | Platforms: Windows, iOS

[gfycat data_id="RespectfulWideeyedBinturong"][gfycat data_id="OddballNastyBooby"]

“A 2-D and 3-D narrative action-adventure game set in ancient China. It tells a deep story about warring kingdoms and moral choices, and follows the story of Shuyan as she learns to take her place in the world. It aims to capture the ancient Chinese traditions of self-cultivation that are the essence of kung fu.”

“Shuyan’s combat system is divided between hard kung fu (force, hard strikes, etc), and soft kung fu (redirecting force, flowing around enemies, etc). On one side, it has a plenty of moves for those who want to take the path of hard kung fu, which plays similar to combat in the Batman games. On the other side, it has a challenging system of soft kung fu, which plays more on the ability of the player to focus and react.”

The art of Shuyan is from Daxiong.

Firewatch

developed by Campo Santo | Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, & PS4

[gfycat data_id="SerpentineUntimelyHoki"][gfycat data_id="TotalShallowCero"][gfycat data_id="HotTightKouprey"]
“A single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness.

“The year is 1989. You are a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot, dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor Delilah is available to you at all times over a small, handheld radio—your only contact with the world you’ve left behind.”

Firewatch is out today! I’m going to start playing through it tomorrow and put together a nice set of gifs like I did for Journey. Unfortunately I pulled my back (getting old) so it might be slow going for a while before I get everything organized. Can’t wait to dive in though.
