The Faction Art in That Which Sleeps, by Richard Luong.

I really liked the art and the descriptions from the game, so I thought I would put them in a separate post.  You can see That Which Sleeps here, which is a strategy game about weakening the world so that you may return. 

Each faction plays a bit differently, and these aren’t all of them, just a selection of what I thought looked best.  Sisyphus is the only human faction (top image).

Let’s see what else you can be.

Limos, Shadow of Creation.  

“An injustice forgotten, a hate without meaning.  Pervert the living, rend your children, and bring this nightmare to an end.”

image

Belial, the Shadow Prince.  

“Schemes drip down to a shadowed throne, lies echo in its black chambers. A soothing relief for the dead thing that lays there, a broken lord of the wretched.”

image

Karth, the Form of Fury.  

“They wait, persecuted, driven into dark forests and deep caves.  They wait, eager, for their blood burns as omens fall.  They wait, as the drums of war begin to beat.  Their God comes again.”

Inatha, The Wings of Winter.  

“Fear the mountains for the words that they speak, fear the snows for the horrors they keep, fear in ice the ancient’s deceit.”

Age of Ascent 

by Illyriad Games.  

A massively multiplayer space shooter that you can play right from your browser with no download required (it uses Microsoft’s Azure servers).  The highest number of concurrent players so far is almost 1000, with a much higher potential ceiling.

Currently, every other Saturday you can play the PvP dogfighting aspect, check the website for the countdown timer to see when it opens.

It’s a bit difficult to record nice GIFs for games with realistic-ish graphics (that play nice with Tumblr), so take a peek at the trailer if you like.

Basement 

developed by Halfbus Studio.  

A drug dealing strategy game.  Normally this wouldn’t really be my thing but it seems to have a solid gameplay foundation, with nice pixel art, and also reminds me of Breaking Bad.  Though, Mr. White would be pretty appalled at selling where you cook.

Build your empire underground, creating and selling various types of illegal substances.  Even if you plan everything perfectly, various random events can happen that will send everything sideways.  

Scheduled to be on Steam Early Access in April.

Home is Where One Starts 

by David Wehle.  

A first person exploration game similar to Gone Home or Dear Esther, but being made with Oculus Rift support in mind.

“I remember just waiting at the end of my driveway… waiting for the school bus I had already missed. I guess I just didn’t want to go back inside that trailer. At that age I didn’t know what home was, but it didn’t matter… it found me that morning.”
