Other news / Games released this week
Cosmic Noise studio launches today its first game, Death Nomad, a survival roguelike game where players must fight to survive a zombie apocalypse. To do so, they will have to go out and explore for resources, confront the infected, fortify their base with stronger walls and new anti-zombie traps. It will remind you of popular tiles like Project Zomboid or 7 Days to Die.
Out of the Blue Games is working with publisher Shadowlands on an adventure for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Call of the Sea: The Everhart Expedition, will be a prequel to Call of the Sea and will delve into the events leading up to Norah’s journey. This campaign will put us in the shoes of Harry Everhart, who leaves his home in search of a cure for the illness affecting his wife.
Miniature farming sim Tiny Garden has been 700% funded on Kickstarter — this is, more than €30,000 euros above their original goal of €5,000. According to Ao Norte, the game is expected to arrive on Steam in the first quarter of 2025. Congratulations to the team for this great success!
Pendulo Studios, creators of Blacksad: Under The Skin, teased a new game on X. The tweet includes an image of Egyptian geroglyphs illuminated by fire, which has led fans to believe that it could be a new Tintin game. It could be a sequel to his previous third-person adventure, Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh.
Now on Kickstarter
Following its appearance in several TV programs, the alleged Roman baptistery built during the 1st century in Las Gabias (Granada, Spain) became famous in a matter of years. So it was the family to which this underground construction belonged. But, undoubtedly, the one we remember most is Encarna Rojas, the affable woman who became part of our popular culture with a simple rhetorical question: «Who wouldn’t like a 1st century Roman Empire?«.
Last month, a small dev team set out to turn this story into a survival horror video game with low-poly graphics. Baptisterio: El Videojuego, is live on Kickstarter and it has reached 100% of its funding goal (€6,000) in just 3 days. From now on, it remains to be seen whether or not the team manages to achieve their optional goals, featuring a map expansion and the implementation of a VR mode.
And so we reach the end of today’s update. Our next newsletter is coming on August 30, remember to subscribe to our mailing list to receive our monthly recaps. Also, keep in touch with us via social media – you’ll find us on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
