A stealth-based platformer with really gorgeous pixel art cutscenes.  It’s been in development for quite a bit, and should be released on Steam sometime in the latter half of 2015.

“You are Master Spy. In a world of corruption and decay, you’re not just good at what you do – you’re the best.

With the aid of your prototype cloaking suit and quick wit, you’ll sneak your way past a multitude of enemies and obstacles, all while uncovering a plot of conspiracy and intrigue that thrusts you into a role far greater than your contract promised… “

The artist (zorgitron) also has a separate Tumblr with a lot more animation and art, which you can take a peek at here.  The gif below isn’t part of the Master Spy universe; you can see the full loop here.

Still in very early development, but the art style already looks pretty great, and I’m excited about another co-op roguelike.

“A third person action RPG. The game is mostly focused on combat and exploration, but it will also have huge roleplaying elements. While it is story driven, it doesn’t force you to ride along rails to complete it. 

The game gives players freedom to explore a rich world and tackle only the obstacles that they want. This way, each player can visit many diverse places and reach very different endings depending on their choices.”

You Shouldn’t Be Here…

The trailer for Edge of Nowhere came out today, thought this scene made for a cool cinemagraph (no pun intended :p).

It’s a third person adventure being made by Insomniac (Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank) for the Oculus Rift, though the trailer looks a bit horror-ish.  You can see the trailer here.

Just a heads up, I’ll probably make a few posts from E3 trailers/gameplay if anything cool shows up, like The Last Guardian (IT COULD HAPPEN), or to make gifs like this.  I usually only post non indie games like once a month (Bloodborne, Battlefront), but I’ll make an exception next week since there might be a lot of pretties that I want to make gifs of.

So if you’re not into that kind of thing bear with me for a few days.  :)  There will still be indie games as usual.

Of course I might have to work the entire time, so don’t expect anything.
