Factorio's Space Age expansion is out now, adding asteroid factories, Frostpunky iceworlds and rotting jungles

Sequel-sized DLC lands alongside beefy base game update Accordingly, the immense, smoke-rimmed cyborg eye of Factorio has turned from the exhausted soil to the relatively untapped heavens. Somewhere up there, there is unspoilt territory. Somewhere, there is land that has never known the roar of a smelter - and in Factorio’s behemothic Space Age DLC, out today, you will find it. Factorio Space Age -Steam page here- is being described as an effective sequel, which seems pretty fair given that it adds five new world types with their own mass of variables to the game....

Final Fantasy VII fan translation restores every lost instance of Cloud saying "let's mosey"

“Let’s dander” and “Let’s saunter” were not considered In a climactic scene of the originalFinal Fantasy VII, hero and amateur snowboarder CloudStrifestands with his fellow adventurers as they are about to face a final, possibly fatal battle. With the steely glare of a polygonal warrior on the verge of killing god, he turns to them and says: “Let’s mosey!” It’s an unintentionally comical moment - an easy-going phrase, as if they’re all going to the shops and not jumping into a big glowing pit at the end of the world....

In action strategy builder RailGods, Cthulhu is a train and you'd better keep it fed

All aboard the Azathoth Express RailGods Of Hysterrais one of those games that, as it were, shovels a bunch of relatively dried-up concepts into the squirming furnaces of something appealingly ghastly. On the one hand, it’s burdened by talk of “crafting”, “base-building” and “survival” - all things I have enjoyed but am currently weary of, and which together make the game sound interchangeable with half of Steam. But it’s elevated, on the other hand, by talk of living helltrains that eat crocodiles for breakfast....

In paranoia pot-boiler Gangstalk you are the person chasing you

Finally, hard proof that I am indeed my own worst enemy Gangstalkis a cat-and-mouse game in which you play both cat and mouse. It’s a stalking game in which you are the person stalking you and also, you are the person being stalked. By you. Yes, I too am wearing an expression of puppy-eyed dismay and confusion. But it sounds interesting, sufficiently interesting that I can disregard the very loud DYSTOPIAN WORLD framing in the trailer....

Valve won't sacrifice battery life to deliver a more powerful Steam Deck 2

The “real” next generation of handheld PC won’t get here for a while If you’re fondly dreaming of an actualSteam Deck2, not some half-and-half OLED travesty, you should also be fondly dreaming of a better class of battery. Valve designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat have shared a little of the company’s thinking regarding “generational leaps” in hardware, commenting that they don’t want to release a Steam Deck sequel that is “only incrementally better”, and in particular, that they don’t want to release a new Steam Deck that is drastically more powerful at the expense of battery life....

Vampire Survivors to get its "biggest DLC" yet, an ode to Castlevania with a sprawling new map

It’s being whipped into shape First on the agenda: more characters. 20+ to be precise, all of them from Castlevania’s universe. Having never played Castlevania (sorry) they mean nothing to me, but they may mean something to you. We’ve got the Belmonts with their whips, the Belnades being all witchy, and “Other Heroes”, like Jonathan, Charlotte, Shanoa, and Eric Lecarde who I’m sure are all very pleasant individuals. Over 40 weapons are being added, too....

What's on your bookshelf?: slightly useful useless edition

read-only No cool industry person this week, I’m afraid, but I do have a consolation prize for you. A comment from valued RPS community member #1694 a few weeks back reminded me that I once spent a long time tracking down good SF/Fantasy/Horror short story magazines. Partly for pitching purposes, and partly because I was just really excited such things still existed. Short stories are my favourite form of fiction, and finding such a trove was a treat....
