SOEDESCO And Xelo Games Announce Petit Island

SOEDESCO And Xelo Games Announce Petit Island

, , , 0

It took quite a while, but fans of the Nintendo 64 game Pokemon Snap finally got a sequel for the Switch last year. But now that they’ve played that, will there be another 20-year wait for the next photography game? You have to admit it’s a sparse genre. Publisher SOEDESCO and Indonesian developer Xelo Games have good news on that end: they’re working on a new game with photo-based gameplay called Petit Island. The backstory is that you’re an anthropomorphic cat on an island of felines similar to yourself, and you’ve been inspired by the tales your grandpaw (spelling pun intentional) told you about his traveling days. You seek to visit all the places he did, bring back pictures of the places and events he experienced, and share them with him to revitalize his fading memories. Explore Petit Island Have the purrrfect time of your life! Discover hidden treasures and wild animals on the island. The villages and cities have so much to offer too, so soak up all the

Monster Crown Now Available On PS4 And XBox One

2-22-2022 is a peculiarly numbered day, but what’s even more peculiar is that it took Monster Crown until this very day to reach every console. Yup…Studio Aurum’s Pokemon-inspired monster collecting game was not playable on Playstation or XBox consoles until now. It feels like we’ve been talking about it for a long time, but it’s no longer a PC or Switch exclusive. Fear not: every update that has been added to the other versions is part of the PS4 and XBox launch editions. Monster Crown takes place on Crown Island, a community with a dark past. Long ago, the cruel Philosopher Kings ruled the island, using their dark powers to achieve dominance and torture their subjects. That lasted until the people had enough and rose as one to defeat them. Ever since, Crown Island has been at peace, but that could change if an evil young woman has her way…she’s seeking to bring back the Kings’ dark power, and your main goal is to stop her. You do this by

Airoheart Unveils New Logo And Key Art

Last week we reported on a Zelda-inspired (Link to the Past in particular) adventure game called Airoheart. It’s being developed by the Australian indie team Pixel Heart Studios, and their 2020 Kickstarter campaign raised $28,492 Australian dollars, or $20,534 in US currency. Now, as the game barrels toward its intended release window, we’re hearing a lot more about it. Last week’s news was that Airoheart had landed a publishing deal with the distributor SOEDESCO, and this week Pixel Heart has revealed an updated logo for the game as well as a clearer look at the game’s protagonist. Airoheart is the name of a person…a citizen of the land of Engard, a continent currently being torn apart by war. Airoheart hoped for a quiet life away from the conflict, but when he discovers a much bigger danger that threatens life itself, he has no choice but to venture forth, brave hideous beasts, solve difficult puzzles and save Engard. The Kickstarter promised a March 2022 release for Airoheart and we currently don’t

SOEDESCO Enters Deal To Publish Airoheart

In 2020, the Australian indie team at Pixel Heart Studios announced their big project, a pixel-art adventure game in the Zelda tradition called Airoheart. They launched a Kickstarter campaign later that year and found success, taking in $28,492 Australian dollars, or $20,534 in US currency. It’s been quiet since then, but the campaign promised a March 2022 release, so we should be hearing something soon. Especially since they’ve now entered a deal with a publisher. SOEDESCO, publisher of plenty of other indie titles we’ve discussed here, has agreed to take on Airoheart. Says Samuel North, founder of Pixel Heart: “Knowing so many great games to come from SOEDESCO in the past, it was surreal to hear from them. I’m feeling blessed to have partnered up and to work with their lovely team behind the scenes.” Airoheart is the name of a person…a citizen of the land of Engard, a continent currently being torn apart by war.

Studio Aurum has been slowly building up a Pokemon-inspired monster trading and battling game called Monster Crown over the last year. The game’s been available in Early Access form on Steam for a while, and now after forty (count ’em) updates, it’s almost complete. That means an official, graduated launch, and not just on Steam. Monster Crown is coming to consoles too! There will even be physical versions. Mark your calendars for October 12. Monster Crown takes place on Crown Island, a community with a dark past. Long ago, the cruel Philosopher Kings ruled the island, using their dark powers to achieve dominance and torture their subjects. That lasted until the people had enough and rose as one to defeat them. Ever since, Crown Island has been at peace, but that could change if an evil young woman has her way…she’s seeking to bring back the Kings’ dark power, and your main goal is to stop her.

Run — Monstrum Has Taken Physical Form In Our World

Run — Monstrum Has Taken Physical Form In Our World

It happened about a month later than originally planned, but there is finally a physical edition of SOEDESCO’s survival horror game Monstrum. This is not a limited-time release that you have to purchase right away, but the game is critically praised enough that you might want to. The premise of Monstrum is that you’re stuck on a cargo ship, along with one other passenger…a bloodthirsty monster! Imagine an enemy as unstoppable as Nemesis, as cunning as the Xenomorph from Alien Isolation, and as lethal as a Master Tonberry (hey, they’re just as scary). That’s the creature you’re dealing with in Monstrum…it pursues you relentlessly, and you can’t kill it. You can only slow it down and get it off your trail for a while. Worse yet, if the monster gets you, that’s it. It’s permadeath — you have to start the whole game over. And the fact that the layout of the ship is different every time means it won’t be any easier on the second go! Even the monster

Monster Crown Receives First Big Content Update

Monster Crown isn’t finished yet, but it’s getting there. The Pokemon-inspired monster trading and battling game just received its first content update, one of several planned as the game moves toward completion and graduation from Steam Early Access. Three new features have now been added to the game: online monster trading, NET Eggs and the “Move Learner.” If you find a NET Egg, you can use it to breed with a random monster egg that contains monster genes from players all over the world. You’re rolling the dice with a NET Egg, and will have no idea what monster you wind up with, but that’s part of the appeal. The “Move Learner” expands the memory capability of monsters. Ordinarily they can only remember six moves at a time, but with the “Move Learner” players will be able to select the moves their monsters remember at any given time. Online monster trading, the third new feature, is self-explanatory. Monster Crown takes place on Crown Island, a community with a dark past.

The survival horror game Monstrum was released digitally on consoles last May, and the PC before that. Publisher SOEDESCO promised a physical release would happen eventually, and it looks like they’ll keep that promise…it will be released physically on all consoles this September. The premise of Monstrum is that you’re stuck on a cargo ship, along with one other passenger…a bloodthirsty monster! Imagine an enemy as unstoppable as Nemesis, as cunning as the Xenomorph from Alien Isolation, and as lethal as a Master Tonberry (hey, they’re just as scary). That’s the creature you’re dealing with in Monstrum…it pursues you relentlessly, and you can’t kill it…you can only slow it down and get it off your trail for a while. Worse yet, if the monster gets you, that’s it. It’s permadeath — you have to start the whole game over. And the fact that the layout of the ship is different every time means it won’t be any easier on the second go! Even the monster is randomized — you won’t

SOEDESCO promised, and…it came out on time. Monster Crown, the mon-collecting and battling game from developer Studio Aurum, is now on Steam Early Access — and it’s already a success, despite not even being complete yet. SOEDESCO says the game wound up selling more copies in its first 72 hours than it did during its entire crowdfunding campaign. “This game is truly a dream come true. I’ve been working on it for over 4 years and to see that the game is already so well received, really touches me,” says Jason Walsh, founder of Studio Aurum. Monster Crown currently stands at an 90% ‘very positive’ rating on Steam. The game takes place on Crown Island, a community with a dark past. Long ago, the cruel Philosopher Kings ruled the island, using their dark powers to achieve dominance and torture their subjects. That lasted until the people had enough and rose as one to defeat them. Ever since, Crown Island has been at peace, but that could change if an evil

Game publisher SOEDESCO is preparing Kaze And The Wild Masks for mass release. A 2D platformer inspired by 90s mascot games, it’ll be released on Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, XBox One and PC…and the console versions will have physical editions. You are Kaze, and your friend Hogo is in peril thanks to a curse that has stricken your island. Though you play as a rabbit, you’ll be able to do more than just hop. By collecting and wearing the Wild Masks mentioned in the title, you’ll be able to fly like an eagle, swim like a shark, gain the strength of a tiger, and run like a….lizard (look, you might have expected a cheetah, but some lizards can run very fast). “Ever since the early development stages, we’ve always held a console version for the game in mind,” says André Schaan, CEO of Brazilian development studio PixelHive. “Kaze and the Wild Masks embraces all the classic 90’s platformer elements and we believe that both the Steam and console versions will

Publisher SOEDESCO and developer Studio Aurum are about to release the beta version of their mon-collecting and battling game, Monster Crown. It takes place on Crown Island, a community with a dark past. Long ago, the cruel Philosopher Kings ruled the island, using their dark powers to achieve dominance and torture their subjects. That lasted until the people had enough and rose as one to defeat them. Ever since, Crown Island has been at peace, but that could change if an evil young woman has her way…she’s seeking to bring back the Kings’ dark power, and your main goal is to stop her. You do this by collecting, training and battling the monster species found around the island. The gameplay and especially the visuals will remind you a lot of Pokemon, until the characters start swearing and threatening to kill each other: •    Make pacts with monsters to receive their protection in return for shelter •    Breed and fuse over 200 base monsters to create your own new species •

Adam’s Venture Origins Now Available For Switch

Have you heard the story about the intrepid adventurer from the early 20th century who was searching for a supernatural treasure? No doubt many times. Adam’s Venture Origins, from Soedesco, is not the first time we’ve seen it in a video game either, but not all video games need to be totally original. The year is 1925 and you are Adam Venture, intrepid explorer. Together with your companion Evelyn, you discover a mysterious object with weird symbols on it. It could be just what you’re looking for: the clues to find the lost Garden of Eden! And that would be exceptionally ironic, given your two names are Adam and Eve (lyn)! What’s missing is a snake, and though it’s not a literal one, the sinister Clairvaux Corporation will stand in nicely. They have the same goals you do, but their intents aren’t as noble. Can you track down the lost Eden while protecting it from evil forces? • Delve into ancient ruins and recover mysterious artifacts • Try to solve
