Archive for March, 2013Leona’s Tricky Adventures Kickstarter Fails to Reach GoalThursday, March 21st, 2013
KTX Software Dev’s Leona’s Tricky Adventures has failed to meet its’ Kickstarter goal. The indie Dreamcast title is now looking for funding via its’ own website which also offers standard versions of the game for Dreamcast and Amiga which are due for release much sooner than the special editions. The Kickstarter campaign’s exclusives are also available in much smaller quantities via the website as well. These will release a little later than the standard versions. If you still want to fund a cool-looking indie title for the Dreamcast then you might want to put some money down here. [Source: SEGANews.net]  Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven.

Capcom action title Strider (which saw previous release on the Mega Drive as well as an unofficial sequel which was released on Mega Drive, Game Gear and Master System) is receiving a new entry. The new title will launch on Xbox Live Arcade as revealed by artwork discovered by NeoGAF users that matches the dimensions of the box art and banners used on existing XBLA games. Also uncovered was a Steam achievement which could also mean the game is planned for a PC release. The game has not been officially announced so a PSN release can’t be ruled out yet. No other details have been discovered at this time. More on this as we get it. [Source: Eurogamer] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

Last summer, 24 year old James visitted The Creative Assembly’s studio has a part of a charity visit organised by Willow; a charity set up to give terminally ill a lasting experience that can help lift their spirits in difficult times. James was digitally inserted into Total War: Rome II as a Roman soldier and he was allowed to interview key members of The Creative Assembly, play a pre-alpha build of the game and even put forward his own suggestions. Sadly, James lost his battle with liver cancer shortly after his visit to The Creative Assembly but Total War community manager Craig Laycock was so humbled by the experience that he has said a few words on James’ behalf: “What really struck me was how my colleagues reacted to James coming in. I was inundated with emails offering help with James’ day. The tour organised itself, as the guys around me scrambled to show James what’s going into making Rome 2. James was remarkable on the day. His enthusiasm knew no bounds. He asked passionate questions and offered clear and concise suggestions on features for the game. When I recently learned that James had died, it was devastating. Even though I had only spent a few hours in his company, it was absolutely devastating, because he was able to show us all here in the studio how passionate he was for our games. And although he won’t get the chance to see Rome 2 released, he will live on in some small way in our game – and every time I see him I’ll be reminded of what a great guy he was. In many ways, James represented what’s best about working in video games: crafting games that people enjoy and that stay with them. It’s why we all do what we do, and why we’re so passionate about it. He really brought that home to us.” This incredibly touching story couldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the Willow Foundation. As with all charities, Willow depends on donations to function so anything you can give them is bound to be appreciated. [Source: Eurogamer] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven.

In a bizarre sequence of events, Games Workshop have announced a partnership with Slitherine who will create a new Warhammer 40K game. SEGA’s acquisition of Relic Entertainment appears to mean that the publisher has not acquired its’ IPs outside of Company of Heroes 2. But at the moment this is still speculation. SEGA may well own the Dawn of War license but it’s a strange move that Games Workshop would want two developers working on 40K games. More on this as we get it.
