On a mission to destroy the sinister CULT who ruined her life, THE GIRL
can only fire a single bullet per level. But this solitary projectile
can be re-aimed on impact, curved around obstacles, smashed through
armor and obstacles and used to perform other acts of gravity defying
ballistic trickery.
One shot is all you need.
Children of the Sun combines sniping, stealth and puzzle solving as THE
GIRL takes on the nefarious forces of THE CULT and hunts for her
nemesis, the mysterious LEADER.
As you take down THE CULT one well-placed bullet at a time, you’ll learn
more about the group’s shadowy past, the heinous crimes committed in
the name of THE LEADER and the harrowing backstory of THE GIRL.
Children of the Sun is also lethally replayable, with a leaderboard and
scoring system that encourages players to complete each level with
ruthless timing and terrifying precision. THE CULT won’t know what hit
them.

About Stunlock Studios
Stunlock Studios is one of the leading independent Swedish game developers in Skövde, known for vampire survival game V Rising and arena brawler Battlerite. Out now in Early Access, V Rising’s gothic world has already attracted more than 4 million vampiric initiates and Battlerite
was one of the most popular free-to-play games on Steam with over 6
million unique players entering the arena. With a passion for
multiplayer action games, the studio crafts groundbreaking and
community-driven games, always with their players in mind.
At Indie Game Award 2024, the captivating city-builder Against the Storm
claimed the coveted "Best Design" honor. This roguelite colony
simulation, crafted by the Polish development team Eremite Games in
collaboration with publisher Hooded Horse, seamlessly blends dark
fantasy elements with addictive city-building gameplay. Since its
release, the game has not only maintained an overwhelmingly positive
reception on the STEAM but has also garnered playful remarks from
numerous fans, who jokingly suggest enabling the in-game "playtime
warning" feature is a must – a heartwarming reminder that hints at the
developers' confidence: Against the Storm is a game that will undoubtedly keep gamers hooked once they start playing!"
Dream Chasers ! Mobile Game Devs Boldly Pursue Indie Ambitions with Against the Storm
During Taipei Game Show 2024, the publisher Hooded Horse made a special
appearance to represent the developers in receiving the award. They also
shared the fascinating backstory of the team, praising Eremite Games
not only for their unwavering commitment to quality during development
but also for their dedication to addressing gamer feedback and
diligently improving pain points, even proactively investigating
negative reviews. Hooded Horse commended them as an exemplary team
offering exceptional "after-sales service."
Interestingly, Eremite Games was formed by a group of seasoned mobile
game developers who maintained close connections while pursuing their
respective careers in the industry. Despite their accomplishments, they
harbored a smoldering aspiration to develop an engaging PC game.
Determinedly turning their dream into action, in November 2019, team
member Michał penned the first line of code for Against the Storm,
officially marking Eremite Games' transition into full-time inde game
developer. The initial planning phase alone spanned nearly three years,
but their meticulous efforts paid off, successfully delivered a game
that the developers themselves yearned to play.
Intricate Design Fuels Long-Term Against the Storm Allure
As developers who are also avid players themselves, the Eremite Games
team understands that while city-building games are undoubtedly engaging
initially, gamers often find themselves drifting away after the first
2-3 hours, mirroring a relationship exiting the honeymoon phase when
challenges diminish and growth stagnates. Consequently, during
development, they relentlessly pursued a diverse array of gameplay
elements, seamlessly blending roguelike features into the experience.
Their goal was to sustain an enthralling, honeymoon-esque allure that
would captivate players’ long-term interest.
Despite the plethora of existing city-building titles on the market,
Eremite Games sought inspiration from their personal encounters with
Blizzard Entertainment games and classic hand-drawn Disney animations
during their formative years. This inspired them to forge a distinctive
dark fantasy art style, replete with vibrant colors, intricately
sculpted species, and imaginative objects. To maintain a harmonious
balance amidst the complexity, the team strived for the "perfect fusion
of familiarity and novelty." Whenever designing a new species, members
would first identify a core concept from various proposals and then
expand upon the artistic vision, gradually shaping the foundational
outlines encompassing culture, specialties, attire, and architecture.
They meticulously ensured each element resonated with the overarching
world, ultimately crafting the vast and visually captivating realm of Against the Storm.
"The team is truly elated by this experience!" Eremite Games emphasized
that the competition featured numerous exceptional contenders, making
their triumph with "Against the Storm" – a project that began
as a modest side endeavor – all the more remarkable in the face of such
fierce rivalry. To see their humble beginnings blossom into a mature,
widely beloved masterpiece, even clinching the prestigious "Best Game
Design" award, feels utterly surreal.
Looking ahead, the team reveals that during the game's early access
period, they maintained a cadence of releasing new content updates every
two weeks. However, following the 1.0 release, they plan to moderate
the pace slightly, though assuring that Against the Storm will
not be abandoned. On the contrary, Eremite Games is actively considering
supplementing the continuous free updates with their first paid DLC
offering. Tantalizingly, they hint, "This could potentially include
brandnew playable species, so players should stay tuned!"

160,000 wishlists later, the roguelite city builder’s original prototype hands in its badge and rides off into the sunset
April 5, 2024 – Hooded Horse and Feryaz Beer today bid farewell to a true hero – the original prototype for roguelite city-building game Super Fantasy Kingdom.
It is being retired as the developer shifts focus towards main game
development, including a new and improved demo that will debut later

month, the original demo debuted alongside Super Fantasy Kingdom itself
during TactiCon 2023, earning over 85,000 wishlists in the first three months alone.
Throughout 2023, the prototype was updated over 100 times with new
experimental mechanics such as a faith skill tree, new characters,

160,000 wishlists to date, all thanks to the prototype that could.
The game is now officially in pre-alpha, with regular playtests and
updates that take it in exciting new directions – slowly, the original

Two-month content update Destiny 2: Into the Light also launches today
Yesterday, during The Final Shape Developer Gameplay Preview, Bungie revealed the latest information on the development of
The Final Shape and hinted at what's coming next for Destiny 2.
On June 4, Guardians will finally enter The Pale Heart of the Traveler
to chase after the Witness, wielding new powers to take on the ultimate
enemy. The Developer Gameplay
Preview also showed off the Prismatic Subclass—which combines the
powers of the Light and Darkness—as well as the first-ever Exotic class
items in
Destiny 2 and the Dread, the Witness’s new enemy faction.
Alongside the three new Light Supers previously announced, Guardians
will wield the Light and Darkness together for the first time to unleash
the Prismatic subclass. This subclass introduces new options to enhance
and customize each playstyle with the combination
of multiple element types. Also, each class will get a unique grenade
that combines multiple subclass elements: Warlocks will have
Stasis/Void, Titans will have Strand/Arc, and Hunters will have
Solar/Stasis.
Players will be able to equip an Exotic class item, meaning Hunter’s
cloaks, Titan’s marks, and Warlock’s bonds will have Exotic-level perks
for the first time. These perks will be randomized, taking two features
from existing Exotic class items (even some
belonging to other classes) to enhance the Guardian’s ability to
customize their gameplay.
The Witness is in full force in The Final Shape, introducing
the Dread faction, a fierce group of combatants with new abilities to
shake up the fight. In addition to the Tormentor introduced in
Lightfall and the previously revealed Subjugators, the Witness will unleash the new Grim, Husk, Attendant, and Weaver units:
Grim: A highly mobile flying enemy that slows and suppresses a Guardian’s abilities if they get too close.
Husk: An acrobatic melee bruiser that sends a deployable geist enemy toward you unless you hit their weak spot with a final blow.
Attendant and Weaver:
By wielding Stasis and Strand, respectively, these units can instantly
change the flow of the encounter and force Guardians to pay attention to
their positioning on the battlefield.
Destiny 2: Into the Light
is now available to all players at no additional cost. This new
two-month content update issues in a rollout of exciting content,
including the new wave-defense Onslaught activity; iconic fan-favorite
weapons with standard and limited-edition variants; the
new Hall of Champions social space; reprised The Whisper and Zero Hour
Exotic missions; a new raid boss gauntlet called Pantheon; fresh
rewards; and more.

THE GAME WORLD
Coriolis: The Great Dark launches you into a desolate part
of space – The Lost Horizon. Here, a fledgling human civilization who
fled war tries to stake out a new life in a harsh environment.
You live in the meandering asteroid-metropolis of Ship City and you are
employed by the Explorers Guild to undertake dangerous expeditions. In
Ship City, you will take on missions and investigations to help your
guild and build your crew’s reputation with the other major players of
the city – the Navigators, the Machinists, and the Gardeners.
Delving into the ruins on desolated moons or other star systems in
search of resources and artifacts will bring out the best of you and
your crew. Together, you will need to overcome physical obstacles, face
creatures from the Dark and endure the ubiquitous Blight.
